  Why I don’t “care that much” as a buyer on the topic, but include the checklist
as seller, comes from my awareness as buyer. I’m aware that not all buyers are
alike in this wonderful marketplace. I have always bought here for commercial
reasons, unlike many others who are simply fans of LEGO excitingly awaiting their
parts to build, or to better their proud collection.

It’s for these buyers that presentation is important, not so much for
those such as myself. They’re excited to receive their purchase in a way that
I’ve never been, frankly.

It's for these buyers that presentation might be important, but also
it might not. When I buy it is primarily for myself, and I couldn't care
if the seller has included their picking list. However, if they've charged
me more because of the weight or bulk of the paper being sent, I probably won't
buy from them again. Years ago, back when manual invoicing was the norm, I had
to pay more in shipping after someone weighed a parcel and it was just over a
threshold weight because of all the paper. I wasn't very happy then. The
order itself was fine but their lack of common sense was enough to make me least
favourite them.


  I’ve read from some in this thread, various takes on the reasoning they cling
to for why they operate as they do “never had any complaints” This low bar is
honestly difficult for me to wrap my mind around, as it’s never been a good reason
to do a thing, as I see it. I’ve always had in my head that which is more attuned
to “What will put a smile on their face?” kinda of melody, when processing an
orders. Especially given what we're selling

Never had any complaints is a way of knowing what you are doing is fine. For
CMF I rebag them and don't include packets (and say this in the description).
I've never had any complaints about not sending the open packets, but then
I've never had any compliments either. Some people send them to me when I
buy them, but it doesn’t make me happy and so others doing it wouldn't change
my behaviour. When I did send the opened packets, I never had any compliments
about doing that, but did get one complaint.

Maybe I should have complained when I got sent loads of paperwork and had to
pay more in postage for the privilege. At least that way, the seller doing it
would know they displeased me as a customer. No complaints when you are doing
something is not really any more insightful than no complaints when you are not
doing it.
