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.

    1. My credit card was charged 7/11- still no sign. Can't wait to see it.
       
    2. Just ordered it...we'll see.
       
    3. I ordered mine on the 25th of April and was charged on the 12th of this month. Still no book yet...
       
    4. I ordered mine the day it was available and only just got it today. People are still getting copies, it seems!

      The faceup and tattoo tutorials are GREAT--I've been inspired to jump back in with my airbrush. And I really liked the pieces on Anu and Hypermaniac. That's just a first-impression; there's lots of other great stuff in here.
       
    5. I received mine today. It's pretty cool. I like the tutorials.
       
    6. My credit card was charged on 7/11 and I received the book today. I think it's a pretty cool book.
       
    7. What I'm hoping is that they didn't send it by media mail for me dose anyone know what type of shipping was used cause if it's media mail I won't get it for a whole month and some days >_< I mean $5 for shipping at least by first class right?
       
    8. Lol...Just ordered from Ebay...*crosses fingers* Hope it comes soon :)
       
    9. i preordered mine and have yet to hear anything ^^;;
      i've give it another week before i kick up a fuss though
       
    10. I live in UK.
      Didn't order it too late really.
      Haven't heard anything though D=
       
    11. I worry too much. :sweat I got home after posting my worry above and guess what was in my mailbox? Yup. It arrived. For those wondering if you get a notice that it's been sent--you don't. It just shows up out of the blue.

      And it's gorgeous! :D
       
    12. I still havent been charged for it :/ I got a confirmation email and a email when they recieved the books, so I know I have to be in there somewhere....
       
    13. I received my book yesterday and ordered the special Liebchen today:love who could resist? The book is awesome and she is beautiful!!!
       
    14. I got mine over the weekend, and agree with Green Judy - the interviews so far are great!!! And the workshop pics that come with the Anu article explain alot to me about her company - the interviews are already worth the cost of the book to me! Alex
       
    15. GOt mine yesterday- Wow very impressive- I stayed up very late reading. I love the tutorials, interviews. etc- but I am also really impressed by the backgrounds, and graphics. Very well done professional book- I would definitely buy any others that came out.
       
    16. Got book and boy on same day; how terribly handy. ^_^ I'm already planning to drag it right out to the copy shop on payday and make copies of all the wonderful patterns. So worth the wait, so worth all the love and work that went into it....


      And when's the next volume? *_*
       
    17. Got mine too :) the back cover was bent in shipping not in my mail box which was large enough for it not too bad but it is a permanent thing, even though the envelope was fine. For the next book it definately needs a Hard thick insert larger than the book itself to prevent bending and a bubble envelope.

      The actual book is very cool! I loved the Mio article and very happy to get the pattern! the actual sewing looks like a fidley and detailed work though I might really have a go and end up with red eyes LOL...

      I also really enjoyed the hypermaniac article even though I already knew all the info there is always a bit to learn and I loved just having it there in a book in my hands and the photos of the dolls themselves.

      Being able to actually READ a book for a change, I so much wanted to read the unoa freak book. Its pretty frustrating with patterns when you can't read the japanese directions and are a real beginner on the sewing front.

      I thank all the contributors and I really love the cover art ! The photo article is really handy and I could go on.. so much info packed into the book.
       
    18. :( It's been two weeks now and I've yet to receive my book. It's taking pretty long for international airmail... -_-; I'm starting to feel buggy about getting it so late when I paid so much for shipping...
       
    19. well basically, the better this book sells the more chance we'll have of doing another book! So, try to get your friends to order the book too so that we can do another.. (which through experience, would be even better than the first book!)

      I just got my two more copies today! one is for my friend at work who I've been slowly dragging into doll stuff. She may never buy a doll, but she wanted the book because of the beautiful photos when she saw mine.
       
    20. My card was also charged on the 11th and I have yet to receive mine. :-( Hope it comes soon!
