Sorry if I have missed something, but who and why is changing Stickers Package
Type from Weight To Volume Bound thus making Instant Checkout unavailable?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The sticker sheets I have appear to be a mixture of both volume and weight bound.
The majority of the volume bound ones have dimensions, but not all.

Ideally, these probably all should be volume bound. Or at least the larger ones
that might get creased more easily and/or not fit in a regular bubble mailer.

All my orders ship in a box.

I set all my stickers' package type to Weight and that works for me.

When someone changes it to Volume Band (without dimensions) it disables Instant
Checkout, which is annoying.

I'm not sure why someone would that? It should be at store's discretion,
right?

Volume bound for any parts with large dimensions makes sense to me, and it should
probably be consistent. Individual items are always at the store's discretion
as you can set them manually to weight or volume bound. Of course, if the dimensions
are entered then the IC issue goes away.

For some years now, whenever I add a sticker to my Inventory I set Package Type
manually to Weight, and then when someone change it to Volume Bound it changes
my initial setting.

It shouldn't, should it?

are entered then the IC issue goes away.

I agree. If you manually override something, someone changing it in the catalogue
should not change your manual setting.

I think it shouldn't, report the behavior here please:

Bricklink rules say that sticker sheets (and fabrics, etc) all must be Volume
bound instead of weight bound when size is added to the catalogue

Thank you.


All paper items in the catalog should be set to Volume Bound according to our
guidelines. Any new sticker sheets, cardboard items, etc. added to the catalog
get set to Volume Bound from the beginning, but ones that we come across in our
travels through the catalog that need to get updated get updated. To solve your
issue, you have a couple of choices. You can change them in your personal store
settings to "Weight Bound" or you can add the packing dimensions of the
sticker sheets causing the issues to the catalog.

Cheers,
Randy

I searched...

It should be added as packaging dimensions, in metric dimensions:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510

Example they give:

Sticker Sheet for Set 60188 - (37391/6218003)

x = 13.6, y = 11.8, z = 0.02
13.6 x 11.8 x 0.02 (cm)

In this last batch of 100+ stickers whose package types were changed to Volume
Bound, many, if not most, of them, I had already set them manually to Weight
Bound in my store. Usually, as soon as I add them to my inventory.

Not something you have control over but I don't think these changes should
override my initial settings.

You are right. They definitely should not override your initial settings. If
they do, then that is another "feature" that should be addressed.
