Bricklink Seller Review - In Pieces

Every once in a while I scroll through my coupons to see what strikes me.  Your store may not come up in a wanted list but it seems I find enough to spend $20-$30 anyway.  Unless you've got a dismal parts selection.  Sometimes a 6,000 parts store has everything I need.  And sometimes a 60,000 parts store has nothing I need.  It's like a box of chocolates or something.

Order Details
Why this store: Another wanted list exploration and an available coupon
Packaging: Many of my lots were large enough to be bagged separately.  Other lots combined appropriately.
Part condition: New
Communication: Quick, professional and friendly
Feedback left: Positive.
Odd telltale signs: None
Issues: Missing a cat.  Worked out well, I had buyer's remorse about getting two anyway.  I suggested a refund that was indicative of the coupon I had tendered.  I ended up getting a full price refund and a cash value coupon to his store.  A little over the top but a nice gesture.

Recommendation
High on the communication, service, and part quality, this was a nice turn from last week's review.  Adam is a friendly guy who will let you take your time in his store.  Ask a question about variants and you'll get a quick answer.  Despite the cat out of the bag and regardless of the coupon I will be checking this store first for parts I need before broadcasting a wanted list request.
