Just out of curiosity, how frequently do you, as owners of large stores (I'm
thinking 1,000+ orders) get messages from buyers informing you about missing
pieces or broken pieces in their order. I have had to send multiple of these
messages during my time on BL (I really hate doing it) and I wanted to know how
irritating it is on the receiving end.

for me its about 0.5%-2.0% of orders I get messages regarding missing items (and
once for a helmet that broke in shipping). I wouldn't say I'm "irritated"
by them I usually just think back and wonder "how did i miss that?"

As a small store (550 orders in 2023), we hand 2 orders that were missing an
item or there was an error and we shipped out a second package.

We also had to credit about eight other transactions for a missing part (minor
10-15 cents here or there), which was spotted before shipment.

With 2900 orders to date never recall someone stating a part was broken, discolored
or that there was a quality issue.

Larger stores (50+ transactions a week) running brick sync are surely averaging
2-3 each week if not a lot more.
