COMPANY NAME: Souldoll

* What did you order?
First batch:
Lev "The Fool" in apricot skin with free "The Fool" outfit set
B163 eyes 18mm
B153 16mm
Soulkid outfit

Second batch:
GRC (goods name) 8-9 inch wig
P65 16mm eyes
B85 16mm eyes

* When did you order?
First batch: between Nov 16 to 26, 2009
Second batch: Feb 11, 2010

* How was the communication?
Excellent. The first time I placed an order with them I wanted the items to be combined so I could save on shipping cost so I emailed them but I got impatient so I called them and they were pretty helpful and efficient as they made changes right away. Later on I would learn that they reply to emails within 24 hrs and it was the only time I called. I sent them other emails regarding cancelling and changing orders and they accommodated me each time.

* How easy was it to pay?
Very easy. No posting on Q&A boards which I think can get confusing.

* How long did it take to ship?
First batch: shipped on Jan 14, 2010
Second batch: shipped last week, arrived today, Feb 22, 2010

* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
"The Fool" outfit set is pretty awesome and I'm glad that I ordered the doll during their promo period which meant I got that set for free.

The wig is pretty unique. Souldoll is the only company, to my knowledge, that makes their sort of "bling" eyes, so considering that, the price is pretty good.

* Did the item look like the sales pictures?
The outfits look just like the pictures but I had to snip the shirt's sleeve (not from The Fool set but the other one) after 15min of trying to put my doll's hand through it. The doll, the wig and most of the eyes I ordered look like the sales pictures. But in the B85 sales picture the eye colour goes from this royal blue to sky blue, but in person and even in photographs taken with my 5mp camera with flash, the eye just looks more black than anything else.

* Were you satisfied with the product?
Yeah, still pretty satisfied considering everything.

* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
N/a

* Would you order from this company again?
I love their eyes but if I were to order eyes from them again I'd ask more questions first. I know their eyes are smaller than the standard ABJD eyes but I also just found out that their 16mm eyes are not the same size as each other. O_O I don't know why this is. The order sheets clearly say 16mm and yet the pairs from my second batch are clearly larger than the 16mm from my first batch. I will post pictures if requested.

But yes, I'd order from them again because I really love their dolls! I love their Tarot series and I might buy "The Emperor" someday or "The Hierophant" or both!

* Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
Sure. I do love their dolls most especially.

[Loofthewood]

* What did you order?
Katie A/ Soulkid and eyes
* When did you order?
On december 16, 2009 (received in 2010)
* Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
Directly from Souldoll
* How was the communication?
Great. This was the first time I ordered for a doll, so I asked many questions : I always received very clear and friendly answers.
* How easy was it to pay?
Yes through paypal
* How long did it take to ship?
I ordered for my doll on december 16,2009
I received her on february 10, 2010
lead time was more than the one indicated on the website, but I was aware about that (because I asked)
* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
I really don't know because I'm newbie in bjd world
but quality is good
* Did the item look like the sales pictures?
Yes and no. Yes because it's Katie A. no because she is not as the pictures on the website. Souldoll advised that wig and eyes will be radom, I think it's not very well because when I ordered I want the doll I seen on the picture (even if mine is very pretty)
* Were you satisfied with the product?
Yes of course. My doll has seam lines : I asked Souldoll it's this is normal, they answered that this was normal, and also for the blue marking on the heard :they answered that : is a magnet in the head and it's shown through on the head due to thickness of urethan
* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
I have no particular problems, only questions : they always answered quickly to my questions.
* Would you order from this company again?
Yes, doll are just amazing , and their customer service very efficient
* Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
Yes, if Souldoll said that product is fine : I will be confident in their words

[twigling]

* What did you order?
NS blank Zenith Chantal (Shiva Human v.2)

* When did you order?
January 9 2010

* How was the communication?
Good, they answered my questions within 1-2 business days.

* How easy was it to pay?
Can't remember, so it must have been pretty easy.

* How long did it take to ship?
About 7 weeks? I asked around the beginning of Feb when they anticipated she would ship, and they said she would ship by March 9 2010. But I got a shipping notice on Feb 24, and she got caught in customs over the weekend, and was delivered March 1.

* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
Yes, it's a good quality doll, heavy and well made. Some odd sculptural details, but all dolls have their quirks.

* Did the item look like the sales pictures?
Yes, I think so.. or a bit better? The sales pics had a faceup, though.

* Were you satisfied with the product?
Yes.

* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
n/a

* Would you order from this company again?
Yes, I think so.

* Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
Yes.

[buboplague]

* What did you order? Souldouble Star
* When did you order? Feb 2nd, through DDE
* How was the communication? no communication direct with them
* How easy was it to pay? very easy,through paypal~
* How long did it take to ship? as advertised, 8 weeks
* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? To be totally honest, no. Souldoll's prices are too high for their quality of resin (thin, toothy) and their sculpts (most of the double girls have some asymmetry to them). Souldoll has a 40% increase on all non-local orders though, so they're kind of ripping us off, haha.
* Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes, she does! Except her mouth is crooked. but its okay.
* Were you satisfied with the product? Outside of the overpricedness, yes, I am very happy with her.
* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? n/a
* Would you order from this company again? As much as I absolutely adore some of their sculpts (I had planned to get Shiva someday), after feeling and seeing the resin quality in person, I'm hesitant to order at their full price. If it was cheaper, I would definitely.
* Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Yes, I would.

[TerraNoir]

What did you order?: Souldoll Double Queena with a custom face up and a dress
* When did you order?: Early Feb [can't remember the date!!!]
* How was the communication?: Excellent!!! They answered all of my email within a day, and I didn't have to post to the Q&A at all!
* How easy was it to pay?: Extremely easy!!! No complaints!!!
* How long did it take to ship?: They were super fast. I wasn't expecting my doll til about mid-April and I received her around the second week of March
* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?: Yes!!!! My doll was worth every single penny!!! I love her sooo much that I can't wait to order another doll from them again!!!
* Did the item look like the sales pictures?: No. My girl does NOT look like the pics on the website. I think thats a sign of an awesome face up though!! Its perfect!
* Were you satisfied with the product?Yes!!! I can't wait to order another doll from Souldoll!! Saving all my little pennies and such so that I can get her companion. I did buy a dress with her...and I wasn't too pleased with it. It looks more Vegas strip than they made it look like in the pictures. She can barely fit in it. So I had to get some clothes commissioned for her. So for that reason I'm not happy with their clothes. I love the eyes!! They read my mind and sent her with the most perfect shade of green eyes. I didn't even have to ask. I might keep her arylic eyes, but she has some silicone eyes on their way. We shall see. Also they sent her with a super huge wig..an FYI: For people who are planning on buying a Souldoll Double girl...SHE HAS AN MSD SIZED head. No way some tape can help the wig she came with.
* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?: N/A
* Would you order from this company again?: YESSS!!!!!!!!!!
* Would you buy this company's products second-hand?: Yes I would...as a matter of fact I've been looking at one on the marketplace for quite some time now....>.>

What did you order? Shiva-G w/default face-up, wig, outfit/Hewer w/default face-up, wig

When did you order? August 9, 2010/August 16, 2010

How was the communication? Prompt, friendly

How easy was it to pay? Very

How long did it take to ship? 3 wks./5 wks.

Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Absolutely on both counts!

Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes/Not entirely. Hewer's eyebrows had a slightly different shape, different eyes(I requested and was told I could have those pictured).

Were you satisfied with the product? Yes. However, due to some confusion w/my order they gave me the wrong eyes/Yes, after the first few days the "eyebrow" issue didn't really bother me.

If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? They immediately sent out the correct ones./They said they mixed up my request for certain eyes w/another customer's order. And since they didn't sell the ones I requested, they made up a special set for me and sent them promptly.

Would you order from this company again? Most definitely! I love and am so impressed with the quality of their products and customer service!

Would you buy this company's products second hand? Depends on the item

I received the doll on November 2, 2010, so it was just under four weeks.

I believe so, yes. She is my first doll, but I was very pleased. No seams that I have been able to discover, beautiful default faceup, good heft.
