Angell Studio Feedback (2009)

For some reason,this company owe me some money,i asked them to give it to me but have no replies,so i asked if i can use this to buy a body ,the rest money of the body i will pay to them also.One of the manager agreed but say to me that i couldn't contact the seller departement for this kind of action had broken their law,she agree just because she know me.I was angry about this reply,it seems that their rule is never send this money back to me! But at that time,i was hurry to have a doll,so i kepet my temper and agree to do the business deal with her.
At the beginning,we agree on finishe it at the end of that month.But when the time was coming,i called her to ask the place we meet,she just said there's no body left in the company,it had been sold out.I didn't believe it at all,but since we are friend before(that's what she say"you are not my guest,you are my friend,so i can do this ")i have say nothing,and ask my friend to pretent as a guest to ask their customer if there were body in stock.The answer was they have!!

Is this the way one to treat his friend?
So how dangerous it is to be her friend?

I call back and said:give me the body,take your money.Or give me the money that is belong to me!Choose one,it's just that easy!
But,she say i should first gave the head back to them which was already belong to me monthes before.No matter how i got the head,when i got it,it's mine,why she thought she have the right to do the transaction ? And she also said i should promise that i will never sell the body to others. Who can promise that he can love one thing the whole life? There are so many people sold dolls and so many have second hand dolls,are they need to promise to the doll company that they won't sell them one day?
So i refused,i think i can't communicate with this company at all!

 

why my thread has been move to here??？？？？

 

* What did you order?
A Lucifer, in butter skin tone.

* When did you order?
I... shoot, it was a while ago... December, I believe, but the transaction was completed in January.

* Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
Directly from the company.

* How was the communication?
Really good, actually. I got prompt responses.

* How easy was it to pay?
Their Paypal system is a little strange... you need to add a 4% fee onto your total, but the website's system doesn't do it itself. I spoke through e-mail with the rep, Hedi, who sent me a modified Paypal invoice, adding fees and shipping.

* How long did it take to ship?
There was a bit of a hiccup here - they had the doll in stock, but the faceup was to take up to two weeks. I wasn't aware when I spoke to Hedi that the shop would be closing down for a December break (I hadn't seen the announcement on the site) so it took about a week longer than I'd thought it would - no big deal.

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

* Did the item look like the sales pictures?
He looked even better, actually.

* Were you satisfied with the product?
Incredibly. I LOVE Angell Studio's faceup artist(s?) - they're incredibly talented.

* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
The only thing I had an issue with was that, when I ordered the doll, I'd selected EMS as my shipping option, and the doll was shipped by DHL. When I emailed Hedi about it, she said the Paypal invoice she'd sent me included DHL shipping, and I wasn't aware the shipping I was paying for was DHL. He got here faster as a result, but it was also much harder to pick him up, and I'm not fond of DHL to begin with, so I would've preferred EMS. But Hedi apologized for the misunderstanding, so no harm done.

* Would you order from this company again?
Likely, yes.

* Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
If I bought a second-hand doll, I wouldn't mind it being an AS - I do love their dolls (I have two).

* Did the item look like the sales pictures? The colour of the vest appears different, but I think that may just be a monitor issue, or possibly the photograph.
* Were you satisfied with the product? Oh, definitely! I bought this outfit fot my Bobobie boy, who is a notoriously difficult to buy for body expecting the shirt and vest to fit but the pants to require a bit of alteration to fit. To my surprise, everything, including the pants fit him perfectly! I have been searching long and hard to find clothes that weren't meant for girls but would still fit him and I finally found some!
* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?N/A
* Would you order from this company again?If I knew that their other clothing would fit my boy, absolutely!

Ciaudia

* Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
Directly

Don't bother emailing. Contact them via MSN. Lily has always replied me.

* How easy was it to pay?
Paypal. But they charge paypal fees, which I didn't know.

* How long did it take to ship?
Initially they said it would take a month to complete the doll, but they were too busy so I waited 1.75 months, which is not bad actually.

* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
I love the quality. So poseable and so stable!

clothes

* When did you order?
26th October, 2009

* Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
Directly from the company

* How was the communication?
It was exceptional. First it was strange that they use email primarily instead of the Q&A board, but I got used to it. Lily answered everything extremely fast - usually within 15 mins, even though I knew that sometimes it was around 11 pm their time...

* How easy was it to pay?
It was easy with paypal. The pp fees were strange and Lily miscalculated my total and I didn't notice. She immediately contacted me and offered the opportunity to buy something more with it or giving a refund. I chose the latter and they refunded me immediately.

* How long did it take to ship?
They were ready in a day, but waited until the money issues were settled. My package was sent after 3 days^^

* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
Yes, the clothes are beautiful and well made

* Did the item look like the sales pictures?
Yes

* Were you satisfied with the product?
Yes. What I wasn't satisfied with was the shipping. But that's not Angell Studio's mistake.

* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
My package got lost in the mail on 1st Nov. and even though it was an EMS package it didn't arrive until 2nd Dec. Su the usually 4-8 days of shipping became 35 days without any updates on the tracking. AS kept in constant contact and they asked about the package on my request but couldn't do anything more. After all this time, I would have expected that they start a claim to the postal service and give me a refund or resend my package. Fortunately my package finally arrived without any damage - but it still left a bad taste, since I could have ordered much later and would have got their Christmas presents, too - and my package would have arrived sooner (a friend of mine ordered much later, after the start of their event but have received her package weeks before me)

* Would you order from this company again?
Only if it's a group order, since shipping is extremely costly from them.

* Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
Yes, I would
