Hello,

My name is Chris and I'm from Canada. I'm just about to open my store, BRICK STOP and I'm pretty excitted about it all.

It's been a work in progress, but I'm happy with the results. Thanks to Brick Owl and everyone here for creating a welcoming atmosphere. I chose Brick Owl for obvious reasons...It's a great community and a clean, easy to use interface. For now I'll stick to Brick Owl and see where it goes from here.

I would like to thank everyone for posting helpfull advise and making this as smooth as possible.

Please check out the store. I am not above constrtuctive critisim and would love any feedback you guys can offer.

I love Lego! That's it, that's all.

    You've done a nice job there with the store pages, I like seeing effort put into those. Just a typo on "Usefull" on one of the page names

    My first thought:
    "The red stop sign and red header reminded me of when a store is put under quarantine on another selling site."
    Maybe changing the color of the banner would be a little less scary.

    Other than that the store pages are nicely done.
    From the US the only option to purchase is to request a quote without much idea up front of what the cost would be so I would probably not bother unless I was going to buy a specific items.

    I have noticed the default "Delivery/Shipping" page is gone.

    I really like seeing that page. I like knowing what I'm going to pay for shipping before filling up a cart, and I suspect many other experienced buyers feel the same way.

    I'm actually annoyed whenever browsing a store that has removed that default page... or stripped out the raw shipping table information.

    Interesting. Thanks for that. I did the logo myself on ldd. I could come up with something a little less aggressive.

    I'm not sure I understand the second paragraph. I didn't add any bands because I don't want to over charge anyone. Are you saying US customers have no other option anyway?

    I really do appreciate the input.

    Stragus...understood. I always appreciate just requesting a quote. But I understand. I will work on a more structured shipping/delivery page.

    I noticed you have shared your shipping methods. May I pull from that?

    Sure @Csherry, that's exactly why shipping methods are shared. :)

    I have only shared the international Small Packet ones, you could check this page for the rest:

    The volumes available for Oversized Mail and Light Packet have been adjusted to avoid having to play Tetris too much while packing orders.

    Haha. I got that, just didn't want to step on any toes my first day.

    Good stuff though. Thanks for the help.

    @Csherry I had a look at your delivery page. You might want to change "ships in 4-7 business days" to "delivered in 4-7 business days". :)

    Oh brother. I can now see where that would be an issue. Very grateful for the help again. I'm on it now.

    @pwpeter Thank you for the kind words. It's been a very good first week... to my surprise. Sent out some orders, so now I'm just waiting to see what my customers think.

    @DagsBricks I have stumbled across your guide before, but I don't have a Kindle. So I just downloaded an App for my phone, and should be ready to check it out soon. Could be the best investment I've made in a long time. :)

    The book's not a dead end either. I (and the forums) are always available to answer questions.
