Meanwhile, I came here to point out that LEGO themselves sent me too many parts on an order this week. It's better than an under count, but I'll still let them know for their own inventory purposes. Very true. The people who fill Lego.com Pick a Brick orders make mistakes, just like the rest of us. For me, they are usually more accurate than Bricklink sellers, but the same general rules apply: If I limit an order to 20 or fewer different part types, or keep all quantities 4 or less, the result is usually 100% accuracy. But orders with more than 20 line items at quantities above 4 will usually result in at least one error. For example, I am building a collection from scratch, so I often order a part in every color available (except for ugly highlighter yellow). Rarely do I ever receive the exact ordered quantities. Usually the mistakes are tiny overages in one or two colors, but about half as often they go under for one color. One time I ordered 200 and 100 masonry bricks in different colors and they sent me 200 of each. Another time they sent me 20 fairly expensive earth green 6x6 plates on an order without any plates. Once, they forget to include a line item of 50 hotdog pieces. Out of 50 or so Pick a Brick orders, a line item has been completely missing a total of 5 or 6 times. Most importantly, Lego is very good about fixing mistakes if you contact them.

[...] Interesting, from my experience when buying best seller I always expect +/- 10 qty whenever I order 100+ of something (2 months ago, Mar 27, 2024, to Buying)
