International shipments from Canada have to have the receiver's phone number
for security purposes. Please have users enter their phone numbers along with
their addresses for orders automatically.

Thank you

I understand the requirement and the usefulness, but you can't force someone
to give out personnal information if you don't want to give it. Simple as
that.

Personally I put my own telephone #. Never had a call in 15 years...

Well... we do force buyers to give personal information, don’t we?

Let’s see...
Name
Address
email

I agree with the OP, a phone number should be required. Most shippers are starting
to require it, so why not remove some of the hassle in a smooth BL transaction
by requiring a phone number of all buyers?

Oh, I know why this will never happen... taxes...

Yeah... On every website you buy online now you put your whole address, email
and phone number. Half of the packets shipped to mine I get a SMS or a call from
the delivery man/woman.

The thing is most BL users that are here more than a few years were not required
to put it on registration, but new ones have it there (optional).

Another problem is you can't add it in your profile: https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp

I found that in XP you have the field available and it saves good to show in
orders: https://www.bricklink.com/r3/user/addressbook.page
