It would be helpful to know city where store located to facilitate local pickup
if allowed.

for privacy reasons (presumably) bricklink only lets you sort by province or
state. some stores will put in their terms their general location for local pickup
but you'll have to look thru stores

Note that, by law, EU stores have to give their _exact_ location (IOW, their
address)… but you still need to check store by store.

BL has had a negative view of this for many years.

The main argument at the time was fee avoidance.

I think this law is no problem because as soon as you place the order, you get
the seller details in your order.
In belgium if they are a seller with VAT-number, you can do a lookup and find
out the location of that company.
But then they need to have AND list the VAT-number...

a Suggestion to Bricklink:
when you check out a cart it already states under order summary:
Shipping & Handling
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650 (= my location)

If Bricklink wants it, they could change it to add a "from"

Shipping & Handling
from country, province, postal code (= seller location)
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650

= this would give an easy indication of the store location...

But I agree it would be so helpfull if you could search what stores are nearby.
Nearby your home, or nearby a holiday destination...

On the other hand, certain family members will be happy that this is not a feature..

If you have ever bought from a store before the address is at the bottom of the
order page. Otherwise contact the seller and they could tell you
