Getting started
What is BuyMeBricks?
BuyMeBricks is a shop for brick-compatible parts made by our manufacturing partner GoBricks. You can:
- order exactly the parts you need by uploading any part list (Studio, Rebrickable, BrickLink, LDraw, Excel);
- buy complete MOCs (fan-designed builds), with every part plus the PDF instructions in one order;
- publish your own MOCs and earn from them.
We ship to 65 countries. BuyMeBricks is run by La Briquette SAS, a French company.
Are your parts compatible with the bricks I already own?
Yes. Our parts are made to the standard brick dimensions and clutch with the bricks in your existing collection, so you can mix them freely in the same build.
Who makes the parts?
The parts are produced by GoBricks, a manufacturer of brick-compatible parts. Our catalogue covers over 41,000 parts and colours, from basic bricks and plates to specialised elements. We are not affiliated with any toy brand; we buy the parts on your behalf and ship them to you.
Do I need an account?
Not to look around: anyone can upload a part list and see availability and prices. We recommend an account to order, though, because it lets you:
- follow your orders and see tracking numbers;
- earn and spend Brick Points;
- download the instructions of the MOCs you buy;
- follow creators, star MOCs and post build photos.
Creating an account is free: sign up here.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum at all. You can order a single brick or ten thousand. Shipping is priced by weight, so very small orders carry proportionally more shipping, and orders of $50 or more of parts ship free to most destinations.
Ordering parts
How do I order parts?
- Export your part list from your design tool (or make one in a spreadsheet).
- Drop it on the Upload List page. Every line is matched to our catalogue in a few seconds.
- Check the Available and Out of stock tabs, the total weight and the total price.
- Click Add to Cart, enter your address, see the exact shipping cost and pay.

Which file formats do you accept?
- .xml: BrickLink wanted list, or the XML export from Studio
- .csv: Rebrickable CSV
- .ldr: LDraw model files
- .xlsx / .xls: your own spreadsheet, one part per line with part number, colour and quantity
Studio’s own .io file is not a part list: export it first (File → Export As → XML).
Can I order the parts for a Rebrickable MOC?
Yes, two ways:
- Manually: on the MOC page, export the inventory as a Rebrickable CSV (you need to be signed in to Rebrickable) and upload it.
- In one click: install our free browser extension. It adds a “Buy parts on BuyMeBricks” button to every Rebrickable MOC page and opens the whole list, already priced.
The extension gets you the parts; if the designer sells instructions on Rebrickable, buy them there.
Do you have a palette for Studio?
Yes. Our Studio palette lists every part and colour we stock, so you can design with parts we can send. Download it below, create a custom palette in Studio and import the file into it (it is a BrickLink XML file). Availability is checked again when you upload your list.
Why do part prices change?
Prices follow our supplier’s catalogue and the exchange rate, and are calculated live every time you open a page. The price shown when you pay is the one you are charged: it does not change afterwards.
Buying MOCs
What do I get when I buy a MOC?
A MOC on BuyMeBricks is sold as a kit: every part of the model plus the creator’s instruction files, in one order. The price is split on the page: parts (calculated live) and instructions (the creator’s designer fee, which can be zero). Every MOC is checked by our team before it goes live.

What does “95% complete” mean on a MOC?
It means some pieces of that MOC cannot be supplied right now. We always tell you before you pay:
- completion is counted in pieces, not references;
- missing parts are removed from the price;
- you can download them as a BrickLink wanted list, colours filled in;
- below 90%, a MOC cannot be ordered.
When and where do I get the instructions?
Right after payment. Open the MOC’s page while signed in to the account you ordered with and the instruction files appear there, ready to download, often weeks before the bricks arrive. They are PDF files, sometimes with extras such as LDraw models or colour guides.
Can I review a MOC or share photos of my build?
Yes: once you have bought a MOC, you can post photos of your finished build on its page and leave a review. Reviews come only from real buyers. Anyone with an account can star a MOC, comment and follow its creator.
Shipping & delivery
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship to 65 countries. Pick yours in the shipping table below to see the cost. If your country is not in the list, we cannot deliver there yet.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated from the weight of your parcel and your country, using our carrier’s published rates. The weight of your parts is shown when you upload a list and in your cart, and the exact shipping cost appears at checkout before you pay. Packaging is included.
Use the table below for typical parcels.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes: shipping is free when your parts total $50 or more, after any discount. The whole parcel is free, whatever it weighs. The offer applies to every destination except Seychelles, Senegal, Mayotte, Réunion, Madagascar, where shipping is charged at the normal rate.
How long does delivery take?
- Preparation: about 1 week (up to 2) for your parts to be picked, sorted and packed.
- Transit: 1–2 weeks to Europe and North America, up to 3 weeks elsewhere.
So expect 2–4 weeks door to door in most cases. Customs checks can occasionally add time, so allow up to 6 weeks for distant destinations.
How do I track my order?
Open your account and click the order. Its status moves from Payment confirmed to Processing to Shipped. When your parcel leaves, we email you and the tracking number appears on the order page.
Will I pay customs or import duties?
Parcels ship from China by tracked international post. Depending on your country, its rules and the value of your order, local import duties or taxes may apply; these are set by your country and paid by the recipient. We are not responsible for delays caused by customs.
Shipping cost to your country
Live rates from our carrier’s rate card, for the weight of your parts (packaging included).
For reference: MOCs in our store average about 0.56 g per piece, so a 1,000-piece build is roughly 550 g of parts. Your exact weight is shown when you upload a list.
Payment & pricing
Which payment methods do you accept?
Payment is handled by Stripe. You can pay by credit or debit card, plus the other methods Stripe offers at checkout for your country. Business partners can also pay by SEPA Direct Debit or bank transfer.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Prices are set in US dollars. You can pay in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD: pick your currency with the selector at the top of the page and the amount is converted at that day’s rate. The amount shown at checkout is exactly what you are charged.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Payments go through Stripe’s PCI-compliant infrastructure and the whole site uses HTTPS. We never see or store your card details.
How do I use a promo code?
Type it in the promo code field at checkout. The discount applies to your parts. One code per order. Some codes have conditions, such as a minimum order or first order only, and checkout tells you if one is not met. Note: free shipping is checked after the discount.
Problems, returns & refunds
A part is missing or damaged. What do I do?
Email contact@buymebricks.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and a photo. If a part is missing, damaged, or the wrong part or colour, we resend the part free of charge or refund it.
Can I return parts I no longer want?
Because parts are sourced specifically for your order, we cannot take back parts you simply no longer need. Returns and refunds apply when the wrong part or colour was sent, or parts arrive defective or damaged.
Can I cancel or change my order?
We buy your parts from our supplier as soon as your payment is confirmed, so orders are final once paid. Please check your list, quantities and address carefully at checkout. Spotted a mistake in your address? Email contact@buymebricks.com straight away: we will do what we can before the parcel leaves.
How long does a refund take?
Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. Your bank may take a few more days to show it.
Brick Points & rewards
What are Brick Points?
Our loyalty programme. With an account, you earn 1 point per $1 you spend on bricks: parts and MOC designer fees, not shipping. Points are credited once your payment is confirmed, and every 20 points = $1 off a future order. Your balance and history are in your account.
How do I spend my points?
At checkout, signed in, a slider lets you use your points in $1 steps. Points discount your bricks, not shipping. If an order is cancelled, the points it earned or used are adjusted accordingly.
How does the referral programme work?
Your personal referral code is in your account. Share it:
- your friend gets 20% off their first order of at least $50 of parts;
- you earn $5 in Brick Points (100 points) for each friend who orders.
Your rewards are released once 3 friends have ordered, then each new referral pays straight away.
Do you have an affiliate programme?
Yes, for creators, YouTubers, bloggers and clubs: earn 10% cash commission on the bricks in every order placed through your link, for 30 days after each click. It is free to join. All the details are on the affiliate page.
For MOC creators
How do I publish and sell my MOC?
Click Share a MOC, upload your part list (Rebrickable CSV, Studio/BrickLink XML or LDraw), a cover photo (plus up to 8 more) and your PDF instructions, then submit it for review. Publishing is free. Full guide: how to sell your MOC.
How much do I earn per sale?
You set your own designer fee, from $0 upwards, and keep 85% of it on every sale (for example $10 → $8.5). Parts, fulfilment and shipping are never deducted from your share. Share it for free and buyers only pay for the parts.
How do creators get paid?
Through Stripe Connect: connect your payout account once and your earnings are credited on every paid sale. Payouts are processed on request, subject to the minimum threshold in force. If Stripe is not available in your country, email contact@buymebricks.com: we can arrange PayPal payouts by agreement. Your creator dashboard shows views, sales and earnings.
Do I keep the rights to my design?
Yes. You keep ownership. You give BuyMeBricks a non-exclusive licence to show and sell your MOC while it is listed, so you remain free to share it elsewhere. Your MOC must be your own original work.
For businesses
Do you sell bricks in bulk?
Yes. In the partner portal you upload a part list, choose a number of sets and see the price instantly, with volume discounts up to 69.9% off our shop prices. See bulk parts and our volume pricing guide.
How do I get a business account?
Sign in and apply on the partner portal with a few details about your business. Our team reviews every application and emails you the answer. Access is free and your existing account simply becomes a partner account.
How do businesses pay?
By card, SEPA Direct Debit or bank transfer, in US dollars or euros, all through Stripe. A card payment confirms the order immediately; a transfer confirms it once the funds have arrived.
Can you make custom sets, custom parts or branded packaging?
Yes, through our OEM & private label service: complete sets produced for your brand, with customised parts and packaging in your brand identity. Minimum quantities and lead times depend on the project and are set out in our proposal. Send us your brief from the B2B contact page.
Do you have an API?
Yes, a price API for approved partners. It prices any part, design or full list in real time at the shop price or at your partner price. Tokens are issued by our team; see dropshipping & API. Partners with a key can also check availability and place dropship orders through the API, paid from a prepaid balance, with tracking numbers sent by webhook.
Are your parts safety-certified?
Certificates for EN 71 / CE, ASTM F963, CPSIA and REACH are available on request. Ask at contact@buymebricks.com or from the B2B contact page.
