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.

    4. I purchased a doll from Smilingcrescent and words can't describe how good this transaction has been. Tara is a kind, friendly, communicative and a patient person. She agreed to let me pay using a layaway plan and even let me know that the payments were received. She included a lot of extras and shipped the doll quickly & very well protected.

      100% recommended seller. The best transaction I've ever had.

    5. I purchased a PukiFee Rosanna from Smilingcrescent and highly recommend this seller. Great to work with, super kind, and she did a great job packaging up the box and doll. The doll itself came with no nicks, chips, or scratches, is in great condition, and is super cute! Also came with extras (oh my gosh thank you) that I absolutely adore.

    11. I purchased a Lati White SP2 from smilingcrescent and everything went smoothly. The doll was nicely packaged and arrived quickly-- in fact, the transit time from Japan to my door (in the USA) was faster than some of the Priority packages I've received from the East coast of the USA. :)
      I wouldn't hesitate to buy from smilingcrescent again. The doll itself is adorable and in immaculate condition. I love her!

      (Thank you so much, smilingcrescent!)
