Oh snap! That be me.. thanks for promoting it in here.

6 days left in this month in which service is supposed to resume anytime now. I’m guessing, they will hold it out till the 31st.

Thanks

Anyone heard anything on when service will resume this month?

I truly hope it comes back up early May rather than late. I’m needing a ton of curve slopes and brackets that sellers on BrickLink are asking double to triple compared to BnP. One of the downfalls to building a 1:35 scale aircraft.. 😂

Thanks man, I got with customer service and unfortunately because my orders have to be shipped across the pond and then handed to USPS to be shipped right back across the pond, it has to go through a stringent custom process that apparently has changed.

Hey guys has anyone US based been having issues with their orders taking excessively long to reach you? I had a BnP order ship out 29 Jul and I’ve yet still to receive it. Additionally I’ve had orders ship out early August and still haven’t received those as well. Granted my mailing address is an APO address but I’ve placed countless orders in the past and never had these issues. Just wondering if customs is an on going issue causing a back up.

You can still do this, as a matter of fact I placed three separate orders (1 each day over a 3 day period) for x200 DBG 2x4 tiles (87079) each plus x24 White 6x6 tiles (10202) when they showed out of stock. I believe it just might be the luck of the draw on who you get as a representative to speak with. I’m US but residing overseas and for me since living abroad, the turn around time has doubled if not tripled . When it ships from Denmark (2-3 days) it lands in New Jersey and then processed (2-3 days) and then sent onward to Chicago International for onward movement to me (10-14 days). Roughly looking at 3 weeks after initial shipment date. So my orders fly across the pond just to fly right back. You can track yours orders if using the USPS Informed Delivery app which notifies you of any inbound packages to your home. That’s how I track all my BnP shipments. When residing in the states, it would take up to 10 days to receive from time of shipment notification to receiving end. Oh forgot to mention earlier, but since living abroad, all of BnP orders that shipped have arrived looking like Ace Ventura handled them along the way.... lol Hope this helps.

Same here, I’ve been using that Brickhunter extension and it has shown me that some PaB pieces are cheaper than BnP.

I’ve had this happen to me countless times in the past. I’ve placed about 5 large orders in the past 3 years that were over $250 and shipped DHL express to my door with tracking. $250 is the cutoff threshold for them to ship via this route. It’s for accountability purposes so you as the consumer can’t come back and say you never received it and require a reshipment. Plus the tracking will indicate in their end that you did indeed receive it and basically getting caught in a lie, if that’s the case.

Same here. I’ve had two orders ship and the only way I knew they shipped is when I received the email with both invoices and then verified under my order history. Definitely must be a system glitch or being extremely overwhelmed with the influx of orders.

True, I guess that just means if your idea doesn’t make it, there’s still a chance. Hahaha.

I understand and in no way am I an expert, just sharing public information that I saw was not mentioned earlier.

Hey guys, came across some info while searching LEGO Ideas site. It seems this was a AFOLs design and submission that didn’t make the 10K mark. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/899ca545-49a5-4102-aef8-154bb71ac6ea/official_comments#content_nav_tabs looks like LEGO is pulling the same stunt they did with GBHQ and Jurassic Park Gate.

It’s back up and running now.
