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.

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).
**APPROXIMATE** COSTS --
| Canada/Mexico (1~8oz) | 9.50 | +1.50 | = | 11.00 |

| Other Int. (9oz~2lbs) (depends on country) | 21.85 or 22.33 or | +1.50 | = | 23.34 or 23.83 |
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.
