************ANNOUNCEMENTS: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER***********

Due to extreme time constraints, we have had to require a minimum order of 20.00 and restrict items to being bought in bulk of x10 units.
 

Starting August 15, 2019 -- The store has been closed since the beginning of 2019 due to low profit margins and having to seek alternate employment, which results in having almost no time for running store even on the side. However, we still have a massive selection of parts that we would like to make available in case someone really needs them. The only way we can make this available is to (relucantly) impose a 20.00 minimum order and the requirement that all items be purchased in bulk of x10 units. I hope our customers can forgive me for any problems caused by this. It's either this or closing the store and making the items altogether unavailable.

Starting August 16, 2010 -- Michigan orders will be charged an additional 6% sales tax as required by law.

Starting August 16, 2010 -- If I am required to refund your order for any reason that results on the buyer's behalf (such as a buyer deciding to add more items to the order after they have already made their initial payment [please NEVER do this] or the buyer pays the wrong payment) you will be charged an additional 0.30 as paypal is no longer refunding the initial fee for erroneous transactions. So please do NOT pay until you have received your invoice and do NOT add further items to your order after you have paid and you will not run into this problem.

POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
When placing an order, please notify me if you plan to add items to your order or if you are ready for the invoice. Failure to do so will result in waiting two business days (Sunday is excluded from this list) before an invoice will be sent to you. Once your invoice is sent, your order is complete. No more items may be added to the order.

Orders may not be left open for more than 2 weeks. The only exception is if permission is asked PRIOR to placing the initial order. If items are added after this period, they will be removed from the order.

Payment is expected within 7 days. On the seventh day without receiving payment, I will automatically file a NPB. This does not mean that negative feedback will be given, but firstly as a reminder. Failure to make any contact during the NPB time period (i.e. before the order can be closed) will result in negative feedback being given.

If you are paying with PAYPAL, I ship ONLY to your PAYPAL ADDRESS. If your bricklink address is different than your PAYPAL address, I will still ship to the PAYPAL ADDRESS. If you want me to ship to another address, then you are required to update your PAYPAL ADDRESS to reflect this.

Set Boxes on the site do NOT include any interior cardboard trays unless otherwise notes (They will have ONLY the outer box)

Most stackable parts (both used and new) are already pre-stacked during the sorting process. Most NEW minifigures are NOT assembled (though originally I did this, so a few from before I changed may still be pre-assembled.)

Regarding NEW Minifigure Heads: We do not distinguish between HOLLOW stud and RECESSED stud. (If this is important, please ask before ordering.)

Please keep in mind that is is extremely difficult to find used WHITE (also sometimes light gray and yellow experience this) pieces with pristine color -- while I do my best to remove obviously discolored pieces, if you are concerned with perfect coloring, it is advised to only buy NEW white pieces. (I've noticed that this usually only is with basic bricks, almost all other pieces do not experience this)

 

 

If you are paying with PAYPAL, I ship ONLY to your PAYPAL ADDRESS. If your bricklink address is different than your PAYPAL address, I will still ship to the PAYPAL ADDRESS. If you want me to ship to another address, then you are required to update your PAYPAL ADDRESS to reflect this.

SHIPPING IN USA:
*Cost based on location and weight + 1.50 for handling charge.

Choose between 'First Class/Priority' OR "Priority"

USA: FIRST CLASS/PRIORITY

*First Class usually takes about 3 days, but only has an allowance of 16 ounces before changing into priority. If the package is over 16 ounces, it will be shipped as priority (see 'priority' details for more information).
*MINIMUM/LOWEST SHIPPING COST (1oz~4oz package) WILL THEN BE APPROXIMATELY 4.16 (2.66+1.50)
*NOTE: Sticker sheets may be shipped via a normal white envelope. If you are ordering ONLY sticker sheets and if the weight is under 1ounce, then they may be shipped for APPROXIMATELY 2.00 (0.50 + 1.50).
***Orders are almost always invoiced before they are packed. Because of this, shipping is estimated. If shipping happens in any change to be overestimated, I refund the overcharge.

Chart for shipping cost rates for First Class [NOTE: THIS NOW VARIES BY LOCATION -- COSTS WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER NOW]

1~4 2.66 1.50 = 4.16
5 2.79 1.50 = 4.29
6 2.92 1.50 = 4.42
7 3.05 1.50 = 4.55

USA: PRIORITY
*Cost based on location and weight + 1.50 for handling charge.
*Rate for a package up to 1pound is approx. 8.00 (6.50+8.00). Rates increase per pound after that point and depend on location..
*Slightly faster than First Class and more reliable.
*Free USPS insurance up to 50.00 (insurance over 50.00 is extra).

Listed below are some of the various ways to ship items to give an idea of cost. When priority is selected, I always try to ship padded flat envelope as default. However, if the order is not able to fit into a flat rate padded, it will be charged based on weight or based on one of these other flat rate methods (whichever one is cheaper and whichever method allows all of the parts to fit). As I must have the buyer's zip code before purchase (as the cost various by destination), I cannot make a complete chart for all of the weight based on location. But every order shipped priority will be at least 8.00.

Non-Pad Flat Envelope 6.55 +1.50 = 8.05
Padded Flat Envelope 7.10 +1.50 = 8.60
Small Flat Box 7.05 +1.50 = 8.55
Med Flat Box 12.85 +1.50 = 14.35
Large Flat Box 17.65 +1.50 = 19.15

 

SHIPPING INTERNATIONAL:
*actual shipping + 1.50 handling
*MINIMUM/LOWEST SHIPPING COST (1oz~8oz package) WILL THEN BE APPROXIMATELY:
CANADA: 11.00 (9.950+1.50)
OTHER INTERNATIONAL (depends on country): 14.56 (13.06+1.50) OR 14.80 (13.30+1.50) OR 15.04 (13.54+1.50) OR 

Chart for package costs which weigh between 1~2 pounds. Weights higher than 2lbs will receive additional cost according to the postal rate + 1.50.

*NOTE: Sticker sheets may be shipped via a normal white envelope. If you are ordering ONLY sticker sheets and if the weight is under 1ounce, then they may be shipped for 2.65 (1.15 + 1.50).

I AM *NOT* RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGED OR LOST ITEMS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN SHIPPED. THUS, ADDING INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (see rates below). BY ORDERING FROM ME YOU ARE MAKING AN AGREEMENT THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS. I WILL PROVIDE A POST OFFICE RECEIPT IF DESIRED.
I PACKAGE THE PIECES AND ITEMS WITH PROPER PROTECTION AS IS REASONABLE TO PREVENT DAMAGE -- BUBBLE WRAP AND CARDBOARD.

 

INSURANCE:
I now use my own personal insurance system for both international and domestic orders.
The rate is 0.02 per dollar for domestic, 0.04 per dollar for international.
The only requirement is that the order must have a traceable USPS tracking number to determine whether the order was actually delivered or not (which means that this service is not available to every single country).
However, on any PRIORITY mail order, the first 50.00 is automatically insured through the USPS postal service, and any additional insurance past that amount will be at the 0.02 rate. So, a 60.00 order shipped via priority mail, will only be charged an additional amount of 0.40 (based on the 10.00 above the 50.00).

If however, you would rather purchase insurance from the USPS directly instead of using my personal insurance method, the rates are as follows, then let me know in your order notes (since for higher priced items insurance may be cheaper via the USPS system, and my system is primarily for buyers wishing to insure smaller orders with a price proportionate to the value of the items). (Also insurance is not allowed on first class international packages):
(0.01~50.00) = 2.20
(51.00~100.00) = 2.75
(101~200) = 3.50
(201~300) = 4.60
(301~400) = 5.80
(401~500) = 7.00

 

IF ORDER VALUE EXCEEDS $50.00, I reserve the right to require insurance at my discretion (which will be notified to the buyer ahead of time) or for any international orders where I believe there is high risk with losing the package, or for any other reason that I believe there is reasonable risk of the packing not arriving safely or a buyer with a dubious history (such as instances with users with negative feedback)

FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
I WILL *NOT* LIE FOR YOUR SAKE BY WRITING A LOWER VALUE ON THE PACKAGE. THE VALUE I WILL WRITE ON THE PACKAGE WILL BE THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE PIECES (not including shipping). IF THIS CAUSES YOU NOT TO BUY, I RATHER YOU NOT BUY FROM ME, THAN FOR ME TO LIE BEFORE GOD, WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS.
For orders from buyers who request customs fraud or to circumvent custom charges by requesting their order to be marked as a 'gift' we reserve the right and you agree that we may (a) decline payment via PayPal and require a different form of payment and/or (b) require insurance, tracking and/or shipment to a PAYPAL CONFIRMED ADDRESS, or (c) cancel such order at our sole discretion. Such requests may also be subject to (a) a permanent stop-list from this store and/or (b) negative feedback.
