Bricklink Seller Review - Queen Creek Bricks

Got cable?  Got 827 channels and nothing to watch?  Got 8,000+ stores and nothing to buy?  Not here.  With over a million parts there's quite a bit to be had.  But is that 1,000,000 parts in 500,000 lots or 5 lots?  Spread is just as important as volume.  If 819 of your channels were sports networks, would that still be a good thing?

Order Details
Why this store: Had a coupon, mostly a few remaining lots for a commission
Packaging: Larger lots separately bagged, smaller lots combined except for things such as a 2x4 tile which was kept cloistered for his protection.  Also included a pick sheet (immediately tossed) and a business card (admired then immediately tossed).  All in an oversized bubble mailer.  Shipping was a flat rate for me, but the seller could have saved some money.  By using a smaller mailer and excluding the pick sheet they could have saved 16c.
Part condition: Very good
Communication: None
Feedback left: Positive
Odd telltale signs:
Issues: None

Recommendation:
Maybe it was the time of year but many basic pieces I needed were not present.  I checked for light bley 1x1 bricks, black 2x2 plates, and tan 1x8 and 2x2 tiles.  None of these were available.  I realize these are popular pieces so maybe they had JUST sold out.  Or maybe they were using them for one of their own projects.  I could have spent a bunch more money here if they had more of those types of pieces.  What is available is a bunch of new parts that can be had by parting out sets.  And many lots are high quantity.  No used treasures sitting in the corner, no little bits if this and handfuls of that.  You want 500?  Done.  But it's amazing that an anchor store with over one MILLion parts can still not have everything you need.  The LEGO Universe must be truly big indeed.
