Bricklink Seller Review - Heart Bricker

As a child of the 80's there are certain phrases that trigger certain memories. Of course my fellow 30-40 year old AFOL's may also be thinking of Dream Makers and Love Takers right now. Hit me with your best shot, what's your store's name inspired from? Business can be a battlefield but come fire or ice we're all looking for a stranger to treat us right. At least we can be a temporary hero to someone who has anxiety over their next order. (I worked in seven the hard way, can you find the bonus?)

Recommendation
Parts and prices are very good. Selection is phenomenol at over 1 million parts. I actually had to put some stuff back before checking out since I didn't have the money. And it wasn't frivolous stuff either! That's the minor inconvenience of running a debt free hobby on my end. When I asked the seller about the discrepancy in the postage rates they were quick and friendly in their response. They explained that payment via mobile does not always allow them to take advantage of the electronic rate. They were happy to refund the $1.10 difference between the invoiced and actual shipping. I unveiled paypal.com/shipnow to them to get the electronic rate on every order and they were all fired up. It's a starfish thing.
