In Buying, BrickBonder writes:    How many mistakes in an order do you all tolerate before contacting a seller? Ohhh it's soooo complex! When I made some furnitures or home projects, even if I needed 19 screws I'd buy a bag of 25 or why not a 250g box of them. I would have never bought 19 exactly. Right now on BrickLink and elsewhere, wanted-lists are made by computers and are "perfect" (to some extent). Reality is different; you may receive 19 screws or say 258 tiles, but you may lose one in your own carpet, or damage it. So the whole idea to order 258, receive and place 258 is a bit biased IMHO. Some orders are 3000 or 10000 parts, whith many of them counted by an human being who basically counts every day - just imagine. Which is also why, in my Country anyway, nuts & bolts shops won't sell you 19 screws, but by bags of 25, or per bow, or by weight like 1 lbs. We've to tolerate the human part of an human job, and requiring 3707 little parts should show some tolerance. Personnaly I don't care about missing parts or even lots. I prefer to know if something's missing, and have a little compensation - any kind, like coupon, partial refund, or a couple more of another lot... Even if missing, and in a general meaning, I really don't care for small bits - like less than $1 or 1€. I'd be you, I'd notice the seller if something's missing. But again, and IMHO, many times it's not important, especially considering the hours of an human work an order can take. HTH?
