Bricklink Seller Review - Brick Büdchen

Years ago in high school I took a German class.  Given the similarities to English the language has stuck with me.  One of the words I remember was "Mädchen" which means a young girl.  Looks and sounds very similar to 'maiden'.  So maybe I was taken in again by the similar word "Büdchen" which I could only assume meant 'buddy'.  Upon further research it appears to be similar to a walk up bar.  The words 'Mineralwasser' and 'Biergarten' are closely associated.  So this is apparently a Brick Bar.  Well take my card and rack up the bill!

Order Details
Why this store: I was looking for one particular part.  Most sellers have either outrageous prices or very few.  This store had 8 count at a reasonable price.
Packaging: Due to communications regarding shipping options I backed out on one part.  The remainder were all 2x plates and a couple of teeth.  These were carefully placed on a CN 22 (customs sticker and then snugly into a custom stapled plastic LEGO bag.  Normally I wouldn't think this a very good practice but with used parts and a glue backing that's not terribly sticky I can understand and I appreciate the effort to keep the parts from shifting.
Part condition: Very good.  One extra part was included for free that should normally not be sold.  I appreciate the extra and I can use it in such a way that the nick won't show.
Communication: No problems
Feedback left: Positive.
Odd telltale signs: None
Issues: None
Issue Communication?: n/a
Issue Resolution?: n/a

Recommendation
This store has about 6000 parts on hand and not much of what I needed.  I started adding extras to my order but the cost per part kept climbing.  I finally realized that I should look at total cost, not per part and removed a bunch from the cart.  I got it down to the cheapest mailing possible and called it good.  That's not to say that you might not find what you're looking for.  And with actual shipping charged and no fees whatsoever the prices are not way out there.  I just would have continued buying things I didn't really need.  However thanks to Brick Büdchen for having enough of the rarer parts at a decent price.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy from here again, especially if there was enough of what I needed.
