Are people really F5ing amazon for PC when it's available at LEGO Shop at Home?

I may have to start, but in my defence, it's because I have an Amazon USA gift card I want to use before the CAD tanks even further.

Are people really F5ing amazon for PC when it's available at S@H?

F5 is so 2014... I use brickpicker alert now

3 Suitcases from LEGO Shop at Home already processing and charged to my CC.....

What suitcases?

Who buys from S@H?

Those are special suitcases so you are able to bring your lego when you go on vacation.

They kept coming back with backorder date of Feb 13-15, several times a day. Though for most folks, they just remain in backorder. Stupid TLC and their LIFO fulfillment. ..

People who want mint boxes and not a shipping label slapped on the lego box, kicked out the door and then takes over a week to get to you.

Ah like Stephen King, Sometimes they come back!

LEGO is really slow.  Amazon does great for me.  I don't order from LEGO unless it's the last resort, or if the promos outweigh the advantages of other retailers.  Although, I really hate the way the LEGO shipping department sometimes throw the promos into the box first and then they drop the LEGO set in front side down right on top of the promo.  I've had several exclusive sets damaged this way.

Either vendor and you violate buying limits and you risk a permanent ban.

Now that is a plus for both of them.  LOL

 

In all seriousness both of them ship really great shape product.  Amazon is generally always more mint.

Though now that their Christmas set 1/2 and 2/2 are not stuffed in the Box with ToO or EEE's the chance for huge dents goes down.

This months poly should not do too much damage I hope!

I don't risk multiple accounts or try to steer around Amazon limits.  Low and slow, two at a time.  Buy early, buy safe.

It saves me a ton, worth every penny.

Exciter by the way I did not mean to imply you did nor would I think that.

Just both places having bans available struck me as interesting.

Two high quality shipping places with strict rules.

I do not violate limits of either place either.

...but, but, but, you have friends, dogs, and family.

Ah Master Sensi you have a sharp memory.

Yes Friends & Family has its advantages.  

My dog lives at the same address so that is a no go (joke)

I am not disagreeing with you in the slightest. Try to order something without being a prime member though, I live 10 minutes from an amazon fulfillment warehouse and it still takes 6 days to get my crap.

I'm sure, I've been a Prime member longer than I can remember not being a Prime member, but I do know standard shipping takes a long time.

Is this the part where I swear off WM again? 

 

I love Amazon and LEGO Shop at Home, and Target has actually been pretty good of late. 

Love it is that from the $1.48 or whatever LEGO Shop at Home sale?

Yes, my logic is a little different than most. If I sell at $3 a pop it is 100% profit if I do shipping right and customers are still getting it for 50%,off MSRP.

Volume. Selling in lots of 10 of.the same then sets of the 7.different ones. I've done well with lots so I'll roll the dice, just sold 14 snowman poly bags to same buyer so that gives me encouragement

I bought a Pet Shop and Palace Cinema today.  Super stoked!!!  My first of each and not my last.  Slow and steady, baby.......slow and steady......

 

Seals indicate 2015 by the way.

Since those are considered "exclusive", you didn't have any problem ordering so many?  I wanted to get some as well and it looks like the best way to sell as you said is in volume.  I didn't want to order too many and get the banhammer over magnets.

You could order 99, I think they want them gone. I've ordered since they arrived and other stuff shipped if anything they are.actually good magnets, I was surprised
