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.

Delayed Gratification- The Dreaded Wait

Jun 23, 2013

    1. I ordered a Dolkot Belinda back in the end of October. Though I didn't pay for her until the 3rd of November and i have to say the wait is killing me. She is supposed to be shipped tomorrow ,but we will see. I was told she should be shipped on the 15th when I inquired a couple of weeks ago. She is going to be shipped EMS but since it is the holiday season I am sure it will take longer than normal. Last time I had EMS shipping from China was back in September and that took 6 days.This is the first time i have ever bought a doll brand new from the company or dealer. I had put up a WTB thread on the marketplace for her months ago but no one responded. I don't think anyone here on DOA has her as I haven't heard any mention of her or seen any photos of her.All my other doll purchases were second hand so the wait wasn't that bad. The thing that kills me though is there are no owner pictures of her anywhere online. I have looked everywhere! I even have looked for people who said they were going to purchase her on different forums. There were like 4 or 5 people. So I pm'd all of them and not one of them ended up purchasing her. A couple people even said it was the lack of owner photos that made them decide against buying her!!! So the only photos I have to go by are the Dolkot company photos. This actually makes me more excited to receive her so I can take tons of photos of her and post them online so if someone else is thinking about purchasing her and wants to see owner photos they will at least have mine to look at. Unfortunately though there were no Dolkot waiting room threads here on DOA before I started one.I am sure there must have been in the past but they have been deleted. So far I am the only one who posted in the Dolkot waiting room thread I started.

      I really want one of the Loongsoul 69cm lady dolls with large bust but I heard that the wait for Loongsoul can be like a year. So that is definitely turning me off to wanting to get one. There is no way I would have my money tied up for such a long time with nothing to show for it. I guess I would have to purchase one that was in stock at MOC. I don't understand if Loongsoul are so backed up with orders why not stop taking orders until they get caught up? I didn't even think Loongsoul was that popular. I would think companies like Soom, fairlyland, volks, and Iplehouse would have that kind of wait because those are very popular.
