I have an idea for feature request for your site.

I live in California, USA. I was trying to find a bricklink store near me so
I can skip the shipping for local pick up. I found the page that lists all the
stores by US state but there are tons in California. Any chance you could add
a break down or search option by city?

It's been discussed before but it's ultimately up to the seller if they
want to do local pick up and drop off. A lot of people work out of their houses
and I guess they're nervous about people "casing the joint", but
their address is on the shipping label too soooooo. I personally don't mind
but I've talked people out of small orders several times. It makes no sense
to spend 1-2 hours round trip and ~$5-8 for fuel when you can spend the same
amount on postage and have it tomorrow.

But at least having the ability to reach out and ask would be handy.

Same, never understood these requests. Do these people get their gas for free
by siphoning it out of other cars in a parking lot?

Voted yes, but I would add it only showing (or choosable to only show) those
that have pickup enabled. Otherwise it would be pointless.
Stores could be shown via "miles away", without showing addresses or
even town names.
