| Hello There
With all the changes going ahead, can you please confirm which dimensions
are correct for the shopping cart in regards to height.
In the past Z = HEIGHT. Thus items processed well through large letter.
However visitors to bricklink are experiencing difficulties, they are not
able to proceed through the checkout with a variety of items that should
be suitable for large letter.
Do we need to manually change our dimensions, in particular for minifigs?
Please confirm what X = ? Y = ? Z = ?
Our store dimensions displayed in the shipping area for large letter
are as follows:- X = W : Y = H : Z = D see image attached

Thank You 😊

Hi,
I have noticed that some of the minifigure packing dimensions are based on an
assembled figure (i.e. with hat/helmet on). This results in all three dimensions
being larger than 16mm.
Due to these dimensions instant checkout rejects the large letter option. However
if you send the minifure unassembled it often can easily fit into a large letter.
for example:
Has dimensions 26x43x17. which means that instant checkout rejects the large
letter option. (remove the hat and the item will now fit into a large letter
package.)
In this case the buyer had to select manual invoice and add a message asking
for the order to be sent as a large letter.
So the issue is should the packing dimensions for a minifigure be based on an
assembled or unassmbled figure?

For the BrickLink catalog, dimensions reflect the minifigure as assembled in
the catalog image. They also happen to be the dimensions used for the packing
calculation for minifigures. This was decided to be the standard by the site.
I am guessing this was because unassembled minifigure dimensions can be calculated
in numerous ways, but the assembled minifigure is usually one specific combination
of parts with one specific set of dimensions.
Cheers,
Randy
