wait until you get a reply from Royal Mail then if they find it let the customer
know and if they dont then refund them.

If you only have proof of posting, Royal Mail won't know if it has been delivered.
They will likely refund you anyway, so refund the buyer.

| I’ve had quite a few delays recently with Royal Mail, both as a buyer and a seller,
but they have got there eventually.
I would ask the buyer to be patient for a week to 10 days before actioning the
refund.
I would raise the case with RM as soon as they allow as sometime that magically
causes the package to appear.
That said if the buyer does not agree, you are obliged to refund within a reasonable
time.but what’s is reasonable…

Is it 100% your responsibility! If he does not receive it or even if he is lying,
you should refund.
I don't know about prices of Royal mail, in Canada, I can send a letter without
tracking for just $2.35 but with tracking for $14. For small orders, I don't
charge tracking but add like $0.5 to each order. If a buyer claims he did not
receive his order, I refund, i.e. those extra $0.5 I have been charging would
be covering the cost of such missing letter.
But delays happen. I had a buyer that didn't receive it. I finally re-sent
his order (two small classic space sets that I had) but after 2.5 months, he
messaged me that the first order had just arrived! Another recent case: buyer
claimed he did not receive anything. I messaged back twice and requested him
to be patient. This is what I wrote:
May 1st
Hi XXXX,
So far, among those I sent or received (about 500), no mailer has gone lost.
It is possible the mailer is accidentally sent to a different province or post
warehouse than yours. I had one package with tracking to be delivered within
my province but sent to Ontario and then they returned it back to BC. Last year,
I sent a mailer to Quebec on about 10h Jan. and was finally received on 20th
March, about 2.5 month later, when I had already resolved.
As a buyer, if i don't mind to receive the part later, I would just wait
up to 3 months (which is indeed too long), otherwise if I need the parts earlier
I would ask a refund but if later, the mailer turns up in my mailbox, I would
return it to the seller.
I think 6 weeks is expected when a delay happens and beyond that, it is an exceptional
case.
So please let me know, what you would prefer.
I guess because of my message, I felt reassured and preferred to wait and on
May 6th, he wrote me:
Hey XXX,
Guess what? I got it today!
Cheers,
So far, all my letters without tracking are delivered (about 300-500?).
I hope this helps.

Agreed with this - and I love the recent Catalog merges.
But UTLF point may be that time, energy and money spent on those weren't
used to fix or upgrade our day to day use of the current BrickLink.
For a few years we only see as upgrades: more taxes, documents and procedures
to follow.
I don't blame BrickLink, it's everywhere - the legalized income pressure
gets higher and higher on small people, with nothing/few in compensation.

We count by 5 - watch the parts in one hand up to having a group of 5, then pour
it.
It's easy to recognize patterns like 2+3 or 4+1 to make 5.
Starting some quantity, depending the part - like 30 or 50 - we use the counting
scale exclusively.
We never check any order count, it's worthless.
If it's a "more crucial" count, we just count or sample the scale
slower.
If sometimes (rarely) there's an error, we refund or reship the problem.
Fixing a single problem is far more (IMO) efficient than the cost of counting
twice or visually checking but ALL orders.

Count by 10, 5, or 2 (depends on the size & quantity).
Check by another count, like 9 or 3 (even → odd, not a multiple, so you catch
“by one” errors), or by another method.
For instance:
— method 1: 9+1 = 10, pick 9 (or 3x3), push in a corner, pick a 10th an put in
another place. Count the 10thes and the remainder (less than 10) to get the
total.
— method 2: 2x5 = 10, pick five times two or two times five, and push in a corner.
Don’t care about the total, just that the remainder is the same.
But then, I mostly only count received orders. When picking for a build, it’s
not really a problem if I’m wrong

| I don't care about the spam itself, I'm more-so bothered by the fact
that the Admins in charge allow it in the first place; it may be an insignificant
annoyance, but for me, it shows they don't care. Action speaks louder than
words, and they're full of empty promises.
They can say they care, they can give as much lip-service as they'd like,
but it's been going on for years now and they still haven't come up with
a simple solution to forum spam. I've said it in the past, but it doesn't
really make me feel confident in the site's security when they can't
even deal with simple spam being posted daily for the past 3 or so years.
"It's the spaghetti code though! it's impossible to tackle!!!!"
Is that why they've done umpteen complex & pointless changes that no one
asked for while ignoring real issues? Implementing a MOC pop-up shop, a designer
program, a 2nd forum for Studio, and merging a bunch of parts for no reason?
It's extremely frustrating to watch, especially when some changes have been
protested for weeks before they implemented them. But "muh spaghetti code"
prevents them from implementing a requirement or filter for forum posts. Makes
sense.
I personally think the whole Bricklink team needs a restructuring or needs to
be replaced entirely. Sorry to say, but this seems to have been an issue for
way longer than I've even been on the website judging by other posts that
have been brought up over the years.
They hired more helpdesk staff back around Fall 2022, then on top of that they
had Lego step in and provide customer service reps this year, and that STILL
hasn't helped the help desk backlog, that has been "months behind"
for months now with no real info as to how bad it is, we can only go off of what
regular forum members parrot in their posts.
On top of that, the community engagement people hardly communicate with us...
the only admin that actually seems to acknowledge posts is Russell, but even
then a lot gets ignored and looked over (I know he can't reply to everything
and read everything, but there are a lot of popular forum posts that have valid
concerns that get ignored)
I love Bricklink, just hate to see it mishandled and stomped on like it has been
for the past while now.

It's the most useful selling tip I've encountered.
This has been shared in the forum before (which is how I first learned it), but
I thought it's worthwhile to bring it up again because I see forum complaints
often like "over half of my orders on BL are wrong missing pieces"...
etc...
This usefulness will also vary depending on the types of orders you get as a
seller.
MOST of mine are all small items and less than 100pcs so this method is pretty
easy. It works for larger orders too, just need more space/larger groups or a
mix of both.
It still saves me from a short pick here and there and since using it, my error
rate has gone down considerably.

I understand. From the posted suggestion "Personally don't find the
spam posts all that bothersome. Many do though, and if there's an easy fix
to tidy things up a bit..."
But whether you, I or some others are overly bothered, is not the point of the
suggestion. Betterment of the site, if for no other reason
Anyway, it's just a suggestion of how something that does bother others,
could be handled. A few analogies leap to mind, things that should not be allowed
as being disruptive or subversive to the accustomed functioning of a given community.
In other words, things which though don't particularly bother you or I, might
be addressed nonetheless
But like I said, just a suggestion

You'd don't think that was intentional misdirection, Nicolas?
It's the first I've seen without links, anyway

You're right, the first without link ! Are bots enough smart ? I don't
think so... It won't last !

Yes, they're progressing. We've seen improvements in NubsGPT!

I found a picture from Flicker, a comparison between Decool and LEGO® and I can
assure you, this one is a Decool copy ! Sorry

That is why I ask what is is a Decool and what would the real one have on it
mainly so I can explain to my kid he got super excited before he left for school.

Before we get excited, is there a lego logo on the torso and legs?
Sadly Marvel figs are faked ALOT. It's not worth getting excited yet unless
you guys actually got it at CC in person.

It was auto hidden by the website because the spammer put it in HTML tags.

| As you pick an order, group all the items in small piles of 5.
When done picking, it should be super easy to count. If the final total items
picked matches the total order items, then odds are the order was picked correctly.
It's the most useful selling tip I've encountered.
This has been shared in the forum before (which is how I first learned it), but
I thought it's worthwhile to bring it up again because I see forum complaints
often like "over half of my orders on BL are wrong missing pieces"...
etc...
This usefulness will also vary depending on the types of orders you get as a
seller.
MOST of mine are all small items and less than 100pcs so this method is pretty
easy. It works for larger orders too, just need more space/larger groups or a
mix of both.
It still saves me from a short pick here and there and since using it, my error
rate has gone down considerably.

Prior to only allowing instant checkout in my store, I would get those (0) feedback
sales with no response ever from the buyer. Unless I'm mistaken or things
have changed that buyer now has my real email and home address. Knowing this
I would get that same uncomfortable feeling something was up.

Sorry that all the hacking issues have caused you worry!
It sounds like someone was looking at items in your shop, wanted to confirm the
condition of an expensive item, decided not to buy it, but checked out with some
other items. And you've cancelled on them after a fairly short time.
What makes you so nervous? All of this sounds very innocuous. The only info that
you have given them is your email and BrickLink address which are always public-facing
once any order is placed.
