In Buying, projectjaw26 writes:    I'm going through and placing orders for a project I'm putting together. I'm quite new to BL, and new to buying on the secondary market. I place a fairly large order, 1082 pieces to be exact. Would it be normal or expected that there were some miscounts and wrong pieces in the order once it arrived? Am I expecting too much or being unreasonable if I were to reach out about these errors on such a large order in a very polite and empathetic manner? Again, if this is to be expected when dealing with mom/pop brickshops then I'm cool with it. I don't want to come across as a prick or unreasonable. Just seeing what everyone else's experience may be. Thanks. I routinely overlook shortages of parts in the orders I receive, as long as it's just 1 or 2, and the parts are cheap. (Just as often I find a couple extras, so it sort of evens out.) If I'm missing something that was on the more expensive end of the order or a significant percentage of a lot, I let the seller know. Usually responses from sellers who missed a few parts are very professional here on Bricklink. David
