Hello Bricklink!

Thank you for such a great website.

Canada is large country, and a parcel from one Province can arrive a week sooner
than a parcel from another.

It would be nice on the Wanted List search to be able to narrow down the search
by location to Stores in just one or two specific Provinces.

For example, I live in Northern British Columbia, and I would like to be able
to search by location not for all of Canada, but just for the Provinces of BC
and Alberta.

Thank you for your consideration.

I don't think this helps achieve what is being asked. Yes, it gives you
stores by province, but what I think is being asked for is in the item lookup
search. Where is the closest person who has X item?

I voted yes, as I do like the suggestion. In fairness though, the closest person
may not have the best shipping reliability. If that person takes a week to ship
and a farther person ships same day, that person may deliver first. Possibly
their terms may indicate this.

It does, albeit not in a direct way. But one could favorite stores in one's
province and the surrounding ones, then when ordering from a wanted list show
favorited stores first.

Note that favorited stores do appear first on the search list but, AFAICT, they
aren’t preferred for Auto-select.
Least-favourited stores can really be excluded from Auto-select… but that makes
many more stores to least-favourite
