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.

    7. The Expo location is very easy to get to from the airport. The Airporter is available for those wanting an easy and affordable option. For those taking public transit , once downtown you will board the Seattle/Bremerton ferry and when you get off the boat the Expo will be in the building on your right. One of the bus transfer stations for Kitsap Transit is also located right at the ferry terminal.
