refunded me for 2 pieces they didn’t have. All fine so far.

I have never done the same thing this seller did. In my opinion, this is not
professional and annoying for buyer.
I always message seller "the part X and Y in my order are vital and the single
reason I submitted this order. Please do not ship if you don't have them."

and overpaying for shipping.

I would wait. Soon, you will need more parts.

the whole order?
Also the seller is highly rated

Checking feedback's history is a most.
Between 0-2 non-positive feedback out of 1000 is considered very good.
If a seller has more non-positive feedbacks, I read them.

Ask to search the id of the item inside your store

What is the catalog inside your box? I wonder if it is from 1984 (most likely)

1983 Mini Overseas (119385 IB/OS)

Very useful. So
was still used in 1983.
I don't know Zorbanj's sets were from 1984 or 1985 but 4 years later
he parted out his sets, he still have one catalog from 1984 in new condition
and 5 red hinges
and his copies came with

In theory, his sets could be from 1984 or (early) 1985 but most likely from 1984.

|
| Souce: sealed set (European version). It was 66gr (not 55gr that was a typo).
I note that the weight of Canadian box is about 10-11gr more. Checked this with
two copies of European box and two copies of Canadian box. Though, the size of
boxes are exactly the same and they look identical, besides the extra prints
on the Canadian box.
So
The weight of empty Canadian box: 28gr
The weight of empty European box: 18gr
The weight of Canadian complete set with box and instruction (and considering
1gr extra for a mini catalog): 76gr
The weight of European sealed set: 66gr
Please add these as additional note.
If time permits, I add photos of both boxes.

For long time, I knew these two sets were sold in Canada as crystal evidence
has been there.
Though last night, having checked Canadian catalogs, I found out these two sets
also appear on the Canadian catalog from 1974.

hmmm, who wrote that note?!
|
Good question! Do you think that this is evidence enough to challenge the note?
The original owner bought it new at the store for their kid.
|
Real evidence would be if it shows up in Canadian catalogs or if the box shows
it was produced in Canada.
|
A total sum of zero evidence is given for this claim which is of course simply
False.
Samsonite imported some sets without creating or changing parts. Example:
There is no print "Samsonite" on the box of multiple copies I bought
or saw.
Multiple copies of 103-1 I got or saw do not have any "Samsonite" on
the box and have seen only one image of a copy with "samsonite" printed
on it.
There are also some sets sold in Canada that were not advertised on the Canadian
catalogs.
Promotional sets like 610, 611, 105, 107 are some of them, but I have not seen
646-1 that I own with Canadian box and I am pretty sure (can find other such
sets) there are other sets from 70s and 80s sold in Canada while there were not
advertised in Canada.
So there is nothing to believe a set was sold only if it was printed in a Canadian
catalog or came with a Canadian box.
So these types of evidence or statements, so-called "real evidence" would
result to false result and therefore are not reliable.
Again, these two sets were sold in Canada, have been seen regularly on Canadian
marketplaces, and I bought a huge old lot, consisting or rare items such as 182
with Samsonite stamp on the box, and other sets without box such as an ultra
rare
and it included 263 and 264. Have seen (on Canadian marketplaces )these two boxes
multiple times without "Samsonite" print on their boxes. Only one time
I have seen the box 264 with Canadian Samsonite print on it.
And no, I have barely seen on Canadian marketplaces any set from 70s and 80s
that was not sold in Canada.
| | Also, in that period Homemaker Sets / Building Sets
with People were sold with a different number in North America, like
versus
Although BrickLink shows a mix of set numbers sold in Europe & Canada versus
USA and Europe versus Canada & USA.
North America also had it's own unique sets later on, like
So I don't see it as evidence enough to say that this set was also released
in Canada, unless I am missing Canadian info on your box images. Or maybe someone
could check all their Canadian catalogs of 1974 and up. I will ask Russell if
he has a Canadian catalog showing this set.

It hasn't been worth shipping to Europe the past decade.
Shipping USPS International is outrageously expensive.
If you ship using Ascendia, the shipping is a bit cheaper, but it is going through
third party, so riskier.
|
Have been using it for long time and no single problem.
All couriers use each other's service. If I ship with CanadaPost to US, it
will be handled by USPS in USA. If I ship with ChitChats, they handle it to Ascendia
and from there, it will be shipped to like France and from there, they pass it
to LaPost, as does CanadaPost.
I guess you haven't used it neither and probably, sellers in US receive enough
number of orders from USA so they don't see any reason to check and try other
options..
| |
Then Europeans whine about VAT even though they voted for welfare states, so
they want you to lie on customs form, which is a federal crime.
|
Under 150 Euro, VAT is collected at checkout anyway so no more request for orders
under 150 Euro.

I hear from the buyer a week after shipping about how the set is horribly damaged

their money back. I know that not to be the case, but I send a label for return
shipping and will refund once received. It's just a Creator set, so no minifigs

I get the set back, and it's obvious it was never even opened. All parts
in the separate bags I used. I'm pretty sure the box was still sealed with
my packing tape.
I refunded the purchase anyway. Sucks I'm out $25 for the shipping both ways,

buyer's remorse.

To where problems arrised, mainly?
How do you ship? Tracked? Insured? Bad shipper change shipper?
Do you prefer to lose 100% (not exporting) or lose part of it? Did you calculate
this?

Two right now (today). UK and Belgium.
Tracked, arrived but either refused or just lying. Cannot tell yet but I have
two angry contacts. One is saying "they are not stupid and they will not
pay VAT"

Was the order over 135 GBP or did BL collect the VAT (in this case, did you attach

My single oversea problem: The guy said the package (value $300) was lost, meaning
it was not in the post office indicated on the notice and tracking. He did not
communicate to me. The package got returned (destroyed) and I reply: Why didn't
you contact me on time so I contact the courier. Now there is nothing I can do
because the package is returned and will be destroyed. I cannot request refund
from the courier (a Canadian one) because the tracking says the package was not
collected by reciepant. His answer: no worries. This is not your fault. I just
wanted to inform you. I will request refund from our own post service and I did
not hear back from him as he did not want a refund anyway.
With what courier do you ship?
|
USPS. I did not count all of the overseas but I am going to guess that in that
time period we shipped around 80 packages overseas. So 10 out of 80. Domestic
200-300 and 0 lost packages.
|
Have you considered to ship with pirateships.com ? You may get a different result
(if they don't ship with USPS)
