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.

Custom House December Sale

Dec 7, 2009

    1. If not mentioned before (like, by me - lol), make sure you use IE and not Firefox when dealing with CH. It gets locked up on Firefox.
       
    2. I ordered in Google Chrome and it worked just fine as well. :)
       
    3. I use Firefox and had no problems ordering.
       
    4. With any luck they fixed whatever the problem was when I tried using Firefox. It kept getting hung up on a pop-up window and wouldn't let me go any further.
       
    5. I notice in the FAQ they give sizes for Ai as 57 but then there is a smaller size of 54.5 also. Does anyone know if it is possible to order that smaller body? I don't see it listed anywhere.
       
    6. Apparently it is only available when the doll is not reduced and I don't know that you'd get a different body anyway if you paid full price. You can ask on the Q&A.
       
    7. If you are referring to the girl's body, there is only one. The smaller body was discontinued years ago.
       
    8. I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find threads containing the relevant search terms, so could someone direct me to a thread describing the difference between The Ai and the other Ai types? I'm keen on getting one from this sale.

      In addition, what head size does The Ai use? Do any wigs for other heads fit them?
       
    9. Look at the "FAQ" section on Custom House site, everything is referenced there.
       
    10. I was wondering how to pay.. I submitted an order and selected paypal payment, and they said I have to pay in 3 days but wasn't sent a paypal invoice or even an acknowledgement email. Is this normal?
       
    11. I also paid today and have not received any notification from them. But I did copy down the confirmation number they gave me on the website.
       
    12. With the company I last ordered from, DOD, they didn't give you an invoice either- you were suppose to send the money to their paypal and put your confirmation/order number in the comments ^^

      At least that's how it worked for that company, I'm not 100% certain about Custom House, just thought that might be it~ x:
       
    13. Thanks! Yes, that is what I did- it copy/pasted the confirmation order and also included my name and address in the comments as well.
       
    14. I sent my money through paypal itself, since there was no option for my paypal address when I placed the order.

      I sent my Order number and Order date and User name in the message box when I sent the payment, and am just waiting for the status to change. I guarantee they weren't in the office on Friday, and they were closed this weekend, so we'll see. :)

      Edit: Just checked on my order status. we're at "Preparing order" now. ^__^
       
    15. Just as a reference my last orders from CH have been delivered in these timeframes - so only one slow order. Not all orders were in a "special event"

      ordered: 11th June 09 delivered 16th Oct 09 - 18 weeks (this order had about 9 dolls in it)
      Ordered 29th Aug 08 delivered 7th Oct - 5 weeks
      Ordered 7th June delivered 28th July 2008 - 7 weeks
      Ordered 24th Jan 2008 delivered 4th March 2008 - 6 weeks
      Ordered 22nd Jan 2008 Delivered 7th March 2008 - 6 weeks
      Ordered 29th Oct 2007 delivered 10th Dec 2007 - 6 weeks

      These all include shipping time - so delivery times stated are the day I got them at my house (Australian Customs did hold the last order for some time) - not when they left Korea.


      I have never had a problem with CH and always found them to be helpful, friendly and quality goods.
       
    16. Whoo, well I feel helpful~ |D Glad you got that cleared up, Cirquemom!

      @Meredith: I'm tentative about ordering, mostly because about the generally poor feedback they have on their Company Review board :C (Although their nice sculpts and double jointed MSD body is really tempting *_*)
       
    17. In the dropdown box for the event heads you can choose from quite a bunch of them, but these are also listed as sold out on their event-specific page. Will we really get what we choose for the event heads?
       
    18. I believe they are marked as sold out so they can display them all without anyone trying to buy them ;)
       
    19. Even when heads are meant to be random, if you put in a request, you have a good chance of getting your choice of head. If you are given the opportunity to choose a head, unless there is a mistake made, that is the head the company sends. I'm sure if for some reason you didn't receive the head requested, customhouse would arrange to send you the correct head.
