I love seeing all the little drawers behind you. ❤😊
I accidently marked an order completed once, and after that the order froze and I could not make any more changes to it. I don't mark orders completed, I also just file them. I feel that clear communication and timely replies to customers are an absolute must of doing business of any kind. I get a lot of people asking me not to add an invoice, never thought much of it until watching this video. I wonder how they handle it if for some reason the other store is short a part or something? Interesting food for thought today!
Only on rare occasions do I mark orders complete as the seller. These are in my opinion complete when orders receive feedback from the buyer. New buyers especially never mark orders complete. I agree the whole process of acknowledgement of orders received needs a revamp. It's also worth mentioning that not all shivers in the UK provides tracking. For example orders under 100g, below £20 value would only come with proof of posting.
Drop shipping is happening regardless. I tend to cancel these orders and requests as a seller you are not covered shipping to an alternative address.
I think a lot of the drop shippers sell on EBAY hence why the orders are usually 1 or 2 lots at most, with the please do not leave invoice in package.
Drop shipping off Bricklink is wild. (Drop shipping in general I'm not a fan of, but that's especially crazy).
I have missed you
I don't file an order until it shows delivered in the tracking. After the order has shipped I wait a few days and check the tracking. It gives me a heads up if there is a shipping problem. If there is I can contact the customer to let them know I'm aware and on top of it.

I know sometimes it takes a few days for my customers to track their item because i do usps pick up and most of the time my mailman doesn't scan item in. that being said i always send a costumer a message with tracking # in it. It possible people are doing drop shipping off because i've had a few that said do put receipt in package. I think people are doing drop shipping from a different platform why would someone buy from their store if they can get it much cheaper somewhere else.
What's your thoughts on "Lego Brick Take Back" program? Maybe this could be content for a new video. Looks like they will take up to 45 pounds at $6.00/lb in the form of a LEGO e-gift card. (or $3.60/lb digital cash)
I didn't know that you can mark an order completed from the senders end. I only thought it worked from the buyers end. Like you I just file the order after a few weeks if I know the buyer has received it from looking up the tracking number. I get a lot of buyers that don't want to leave feedback they will just mark completed. Does anyone else have this problem? 🤔🙂
