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.

Feedback for HobbySearch (Japan)

Jun 14, 2008

    1. I just received my first order from HobbySearch (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/doll/). Based on my ordering experience, I would highly recommend HobbySearch as an English-language online source for Azone and Cuties 60cm clothes and shoes, as well as for 1/6 clothes and lots of other hobby items. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

      * What did you order? Multiple Azone 60cm clothing items, including two pairs of shoes
      * When did you order? Sunday, June 8
      * How was the communication? Excellent. HobbySearch sent clear and thorough update emails at every step of the ordering, packing, and shipping process.
      * How easy was it to pay? Very easy credit-card checkout system.
      * How long did it take to ship? I received my order by EMS (the only international shipping option that Hobby Search offers) on Friday, June 13. FIVE DAYS from order to arrival--including the trip from Tokyo to Kansas!
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? YES. Yes, yes, yes.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes--the website is very clear and easy to navigate. HobbySearch also marks sold-out and waitlist items, so there's no doubt about what's currently in stock.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? 100%. I have a hard-to-fit ShinyDoll girl, and Azone clothes and shoes are a great fit for her as well as being high quality.
      * Other points: Besides being impressed with HobbySearch's extensive catalog and speedy service, I was impressed by their careful packing of my order. No flimsy, caved-in boxes here!
