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.

Page 1 of 3
    1. Hopefully this will not be permanent, but Blue Fairy is closing the US Shopping Mall. This notice was posted this evening

      I am glad that I placed my order for Choco on this last ordering period because it may have been my last chance to get him.

    3. wow.. that really blows. But honestly, other than the falling dollar, american customers are hell to deal with- they believe they are always right (most of them.. there are good ones!) and can be a huge pain in the butt!

      But it's sad news for people still wanting toget blue fairies (ive toyed with the idea of a pocket fairy, but never actually decided to buy one due to their price).

    4. I think I'm going to cry.

      I decided that I would just get my PF on the next update... since I was already getting a doll and would let someone else have a chance to get theirs.

      ;______;

      I think I'll try emailing them in a month or so from the Korean site to see if they will let me buy one from them.

      This. Sucks.

    6. I moved this from the Tiny category to News since it applies to BF's mini sized dolls as well as PF. I hope that they do reopen another English site when they can!

    7. :cry: sympathy for everybody! i was hoping to buy a BlueFairy Tommy next time they restocked (i heard rumour it was likekly to be this month too T_T) i hope they manage to sort things.
      I was also wondering if it woudl be possible to order from their Korean site....anybody know??

    8. I hope they will offer it again later on these year :o

    9. :x Nice job on the advance notice.

      I'm not angry about circumstance beyond their control, but why not give us a little more advance warning? I could have at least bought Emilie's head, :cry: instead of thinking I could order her when they restocked in a month or two. I quote:

      "They will be up for sale very soon,
      so please look forward to it."

      Now, boom!, We're Closed! This is very upsetting. :(

    10. Wow. this really is... wow. and apparently we can't order thru the korean site, I think I read that before.

      If they closed I guess it's not meant to be that I get a may... but I did get confirmation today that yoko is ordered (an additional conf, not just the paypal payment thingie). I ordered her last saturday.

      this is a bummer.
       
      #10 sher, Feb 3, 2005
    11. I agree with Marilyn...

      You know, it would be nice if they gave some kind of "We're closing in a Month" or something, so that people could buy the dolls they've been looking at.

      if all else fails... isn't there a korean shopping service somewhere that we can go through?

    12. I've had great success with jean and envy's shopping service! That's how i got my sharmin when they were on their first limited run batch for koreans only before they became popularized and picked up by US retailers.
       
      #12 dechanique, Feb 3, 2005
    13. and then they cost us even more $$$. sigh. perhaps it's just not meant to be that I have a May. maybe I'll post on marketplace later this year or something... need to save up first, lol...

      this is a bummer.

    14. There's a lady named Sienna who is Korean and does a service for people wanting to get their doll heads painted by people such as Sairin and Heavybomb... according to Mayuka13, she also sometimes shops for dolls and only charges about $5 ~ $15 for her services : )
       
      #14 romancedinthepast, Feb 3, 2005
    15. I just read about that too. Such a bummer for everyone who still wanted to order a BF doll. Luckily I have family in Japan who can order for me then ship to me. Hope they re open the US shop though.

    17. Sorry that was me

    18. Yes, Sienna is wonderful! I got my wonderful Nara doll and my Elf Ttory head through her! She is very fast and communicates well.

      I hope we can still get these wonderful dolls somehow. I want a Xiao... and a Chou... and a boy!May... *sigh*

    19. oh duhh I can't even read, sorry about that :oops: that is SOOO reasonable, I was just having this panic attack of adding $150 onto the cost or something. Sienna it is!!! I hope she will consider dealing with us if BF really doesn't reopen a US site anytime soon.

      What a shame. I wonder what happened.

    20. ^_^ It's ok, I understand how it is to be planning one thing, and then to have the "rug pulled out from under you" so to speak.

      *gives cookies and sprinkles* hopefully your day will go better now : )
