For egregious cases the decision is easy, but I just received yet another order
leaving me with a frustrating decision to make. I understand quantity errors,
but what gets to me are the missing lots that occur in roughly 50% of all orders
that have missing lots that bother me.
In this case, I probably will not say anything, because only 2 of 60 lots are
missing, they are not minifigures, and because I can get them from Lego.com for
$4 total. However, the decision is still annoying because one of the lots is
for right wedges to match left wedges that did get included.
Notes:
-Yes, I have tried ordering fewer lots, but it seems you have to keep it under
20 lots in order to prevent most seller mistakes. Those smaller orders are usually
not cost effective for me after factoring in shipping costs.
-If you receive an order containing a printout with a hand-written check mark
next to each lot, consider favoriting that seller. Those sellers are rare and
almost never make mistakes.

I write the seller for a refund if the missing/damage is worth more than $1.00.
Otherwise I don't worry about it.
I'm guessing you are mostly buying from sellers with no lot limits who will
pick a $20 order with 60 lots.
These sellers aren't usually going to be professional, because they don't
know how to value their time. Not valuing their time correctly leads to other
problems, like a messy disorganized inventory, a delay in getting orders out,
incorrect variations and colors etc.
For comparison, the error rate when I buy from sellers is around 2%, and the
mistake is usually minor and is part of a large quantity (999 instead of 1000
plates).
Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.
