1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

      What a great service being provided for those of us living in Aus.

      I orderd quite a lot of things.......wigs, eyes, eyelashes, head, MSC and more.

      Communication was prompt and I found the company very easy to deal with.
      They were very patient and helpful to me as a newcomer to BJD's.

      All items were of a quality expected of the price.

      Photos on the web site are indicitive of what is received.

      I definately will be ordering again.

      As the prices are very good I don't see the need to buy second hand. I would rather deal direct.

      Thanks heaps fiathriel, you made my shopping experience enjoyable AND informative.

      ResinSoul Song in Grey Skin & Mei in White Skin

      * When did you order?

      17th August

      * How was the communication?

      Excellent communication, usually within only an hour or 2 :)

      * How easy was it to pay?

      Very easy. Gotta love Paypal!

      * How long did it take to ship?

      When items were available to ship it was only 2 days wait! :kitty2

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      Quality of the dolls is definitely better than what was paid for them. ResiinSoul truly just gets a bad wrap!

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      So much better than the ResinSoul pics, especially my Grey Skin song. There really aren't really any good pics out there of the grey skin. It's GORGEOUS! Look forward to doing a comparison with the lilac in the future.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?

      VERY! :celebrate

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

      No problems whatsoever!

      * Would you order from this company again?

      Definitely!

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

      MSD School Outfit (Dark Tartan)

      * When did you order?
      3 Nov 2009

      * How was the communication?
      Great communication

      * How easy was it to pay?

      * How long did it take to ship?

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Sure - I've got my next item picked out

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      It would depend on the item
       
    11. * What did you order?
      I was lucky enought to win a grab bag from ningyotan as a result of signing up for their newsletter. They sent me a ton of beautiful items from guess dolll: Two dresses, a pair of boots, a polo shirt and two pair of glass eyes. All beautiful, all extremely high quality.
      * When did you order?

      A week ago, including weekends.

      * How was the communication?
      Excellent! Fiathriel is great to talk to and very helpful and excited about her products.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      N/A

      * How long did it take to ship?

      It shipped immediately.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      The prices on the site are very fair considering the quality of the merchandise. The type of eyelet used on the Lolita dress is hard to come by and expensive to find, and the clothing had details that might not be noticed at first glance, like a tulle underskirt. Really nicely made.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Actually they look nicer than the sales pictures from guess doll

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Definitely!

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

      * Would you order from this company again?

      I am planning to, once I can afford it!

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

      Thank you to fiathriel for her generosity!

      The little dogs arrived very promptly after arriving as part of a GO in Australia and it was fabulous not to have the hefty shipping costs.

      I am certainly a fan of Ningyotan and will be back as communication was just perfect and patient.

      We are lucky to have this in Australia. Bravo Rachel:aheartbea
