Hello.
I would like to indicate a problem when it comes to register my adress in the
bricklink system.
I am from Belgium and more specificaly from the "Province du Luxembourg", which
is different from "Luxembourg", the country.
In the system, when I have to chose my region, I can only select "Luxembourg"
and not the "Province du Luxembourg" and end up with an adress ending with "Luxembourg
Belgium", instead of "Province du Luxembourg Belgium". Needless to say that
the firt option is a mess as the post offices get completly confused when it
comes to chosing in which country the lego should be sent...
Could you fix this please?
Thank you!
Reci

Hello Reci,

I recommend not to fill your region for Belgium adresses.

Belgium post can send you all with: name, street, nr, postcode and city

Example :
M. Dupont
Rue du Cornet 6
B-4800 VERVIERS
BELGIUM

Filling in Province/region is needed for country's as Australia and USA

I always check "how to address" before putting the address on the envelope:

I would prever BrickLink to make 1 field (with minimal 8 rows) as where the BrickLink
member can fill in the exact address as prefered for their own country. So a
seller can copy and past this 1 to 1 on the envelope.


In a lot of cases you have to change the layout of the address, because BrickLink
mixes the fields just in the wrong way. (as preferred by the country's rules)


I do the "how to address" step to avoid misunderstanding so that the shipment
arrives without problems.


Regards, Nico

We had the same problem with French addresses (compounded with the use of wrong
names for the régions ). It only took 2 years of nagging to be fixed.

In the mean time, add a remark/note at checkout and hope the seller will read
and heed it.
