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. It's he-re! Omg. Posted Wednesday, it arrived today, Friday. That postage was worth every penny! The bad news is I have nothing to trade...because the good news is I love everything! I actually got a coherent outfit in my girl bag - well mostly - it's all black, very goth, and then there's this white net crown dealy - which I know my niece is gonna love and there will probably be a wedding at some point! The boy's outfit, I love everything but they don't go together so much. The brown shoes match nothing but I don't mind cos I wanted some like that anyway. The shirt and waistcoat go together but don't work so much with the coat, hat and black velvet trousers which do work together. My girl's wig is a cute black bob and the boy's is a dark brown...cute little bob! It was quite mussed up when I got it out but that's cos the fibres are so soft. I don't actually hate it on him but I will probably use it more on my girls. So anyway here's a badly lit picture. I did film most of it (didn't realise my memory card ran out of space halfway through the girl bag) but we'll see if I have time to edit it together and am brave enough to post it!

      I'm not a fan of eyepatches normally but it occurs to me it's the perfect cheat when suffering from wonky eyes! I haven't identified anything yet, and no steampunk goggles but fingers crossed for my next lot!

      [Edit] So I had a quick look on the site. The boy's shirt and waistcoat are from the same set, Jase, and the hat and eyepatch are both from the same one too (I should have written it down). I got the waistcoat that goes with the coat last year. The girl's top and collar are both Anjali. I haven't identified anything else and I should be in bed now!

    3. Ordered Nov. 1. Shipping notice today. That's not bad!

      Yes, the Dollheart USA fukus last year were a wet mess. I actually complained, because mine was all accessories, one of which was a doll-sized rag doll that looked as if it had been made by a 6 year old child. They gave me a refund when I shipped everything back.

    4. @Victoria Victrix It looks like DH is on the mark right now though. Sorry to hear that happened, yikes.

      Maybe this event is to restore trust?
       
      #144 orangediscord, Nov 7, 2015
    5. Thanks~! I was pleasantly surprised with my boy bag =3

      Nice haul! Beautiful items :aheartbea

      So many shipping notices! Congrats everyone! Can't wait to see what comes in :sumomo:

    6. You're totally right! Especially with seeing everyone's else bags!! I expect massive spammage for next week!

      Also congrats to everyone who has received their shipping notices/packages! :)

      Oh you've got some good ones, congrats!! Ahh all these arrivals are making me so excited!! :kitty1:kitty1


      On another note:
      DollHeart did combine shipping for both of my packages but surprisingly the EMS shipping fees costed more than I paid! I paid $46.15 (totalled from 2 separate orders) and shipping was actually $49.87. DollHeart is good enough and didn't ask me to pay the extras. ;)

      I'm pretty surprised it costed that much since I'm located in Asia as well. $50 is what I would pay for Priority shipping from the US for a full doll! Guess the 10 Fuku bags I've ordered must have weighted quite a bit! :sneaky

      I'm hoping EMS will be good to me and I'll have my package by Monday since I'm located in Asia and all. But judging by past experiences, it'll probably be delayed for a few days :doh:doh

    7. @bulletsBANQ Yeah! I priced out my shipping for DH bags...I ordered a few boy ones, and it was like 9.6lbs?? Jesus.
       
      #147 orangediscord, Nov 7, 2015
    8. @orangediscord Holy moly! That's pretty heavy! No wonder the shipping fees is so brutal! How many fuku did you order in total?

      I gotta weight my package when it gets here :XD:
       
      #148 bulletsBANQ, Nov 7, 2015
    9. @bulletsBANQ I placed....quite a few orders. The 9.6lbs one is....8 SD13 Boy packs, though I've emailed them to ask if I can change my order. I may be buying my friend's doll off of her, but I have no boys as of this particular moment. I just figure if I ever plan to get a boy, this is a good event to get his wardrobe started again. This will probably be cheaper because I asked for airmail instead of EMS for the boy.

      I had a second order that was 20 bags. I ordered 12 SD13 girl ones and 8 YoSD ones...but that was....a separate order. The shipping for that order alone was $108. Aha. God. That's double what you pay to have a SD sized doll shipped from Asia, so I can only imagine what that package will look like. Hopefully no one who knows me ever sees my box opening video.

    10. @orangediscord Woowee! That's one massive order!!! I'm pretty intimidated by your shipping fees! But I really can't blame you, the event is really too good to pass up!! I cannot wait to see your box opening, it's gonna be so epic!

      Did you notice that DollHeart put their Fuku Bags as a 'pre-order item' and it'll take around 15 days for the bag to be shipped? Guess they can't keep up with the demand :XD::XD:
       
      #150 bulletsBANQ, Nov 7, 2015
    11. @bulletsBANQ HAHA, are you serious? I haven't checked the site. I had no idea. I mean to be completely honest...when I placed my first order, my order was like 3940-something, and when I placed my last order, it was 3999 -- so they've probably gotten 50 orders...and some may have been quite large. And it hasn't even been a week. I'm sure this thread and all of us chatting together about it may have....convinced some people who were on the line to jump on the matter.

      I'm looking forward to the video, but I haven't quite figured out the logistics. I do have a DSLR, but I've never filmed with this particular model before, and I wouldn't be able to manual focus it if I'm in the video. So I might have to stick to a crappy laptop camera. Maybe I can set the Nikon on a table, and just mark on the table where things are in focus and out of focus and put items out at that depth. I'm not sure yet.

      It's also probably going to be a long video. I can potentially divide it into parts. YoSD, SD13G, and SD13B.

    12. Oh ... my ... goodness <she says, weakly>. I have created a monster. Did my note about great fukubukuro bags -- about five pages back now -- generate this?!
       
      #152 Julie M, Nov 7, 2015
    13. @Julie M I think Dollheart owes you some thanks, to be honest. LOL.
       
      #153 orangediscord, Nov 7, 2015
    14. I have loved the fukubukuro since year one. I typically get one Yo-SD bag and one 70cm male. I did get an SD13 gal bag once, but it wasn't my cuppa, although I've still got the items floating around here somewhere. I sew high end fully tailored clothing (for the big guys), so I have a full appreciation for these bags. Too, I have Yo-SDs that STILL wouldn't have clothing had I not purchased the Yo-SD bags. I have been pleased with them up until the one I most recently got, but that's the luck of the draw. The current bag had a dress -- and I'm not really keen on dresses for the Yo's unless I've made them. :-P The little boy Yo clothing is spectacular, though ... can't get enough of that!
       
      #154 Julie M, Nov 7, 2015
    15. @Julie M Did you post pictures of these bags anywhere? If not, I'd love to see them. I'm on the hunt for YoSD gal stuff.
       
      #155 orangediscord, Nov 7, 2015
    16. No, but I did post a list of everything that I received in the bags. It's probably on page 3 above ... or thereabouts! If I remember, I'll take photos tomorrow.
       
      #156 Julie M, Nov 7, 2015
    17. I think I saw your post on the DH swap thread sometime ago and PM'ed you about an item to check if you still have it!

      What got me into DH items was the swap thread to be honest.
      Seeing all the goodies people had up for trade tempted me to buy some to "test" DH last year..and guess what.
      I was so smitten by all the stuff I got that I am now a huge fan of them! Which obviously led to me buying a total of 8 bags this year :P
       
      #157 azurevsaztec, Nov 7, 2015
    18. @azurevsaztec I think swapping is a lot of fun honestly. ;u; I wish there were more opportunities to swap. I can't wait to see people start posting in the swap thread.
       
      #158 orangediscord, Nov 7, 2015
    19. Yes I can't wait for that too!
      What I would like to also see is each person's doll dressed up according to what they received in each bag..just to show how quirky the mixture of items look as a whole outfit and at the same time display what they got on a whole like what @rubydoll did in the above post!
       
      #159 azurevsaztec, Nov 7, 2015
    20. Thanks guys, can't wait to see what everyone else gets!

      @azurevsaztec I always dress them up with what I get, lol, but I actually forgot to take a pic of the haul before I started dressing them!
