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.

    2. I've ordered too! I'm getting a smiling elf Adori in peach normal. I'm excited about getting him. I missed out on the first pre-order because it was right after Christmas. I'm so glad I did miss that one though because now there's an elf option, and since the character is an elf, it saves me some mod work!

    3. Its amazing how much diversity there can be for just one doll by offering ALL the skin tones. I decided on smiling head in the fantasy pink color. All the tan colors are so pretty though, I cant wait to see everyones different choices.

    4. Well, the decision was painful, but I finally ordered my regular head Adori! I tossed all my plans out the window and ordered moist beige. I have tan dolls and normal skin dolls, so I thought this might be a fun color in between. With unlimited funds, I'd have ordered at least three colors. Hopefully, i'll hear from Haru tomorrow to pay. Then the wait begins. :) Thanks for posting all your dolls!

      Edit: Can't believe it, but I have already heard back from them. All of their answers on Tumblr have been this quick, but I wasn't expecting that with the time difference.

    5. I'm tempted to get another doll just so I can have another little I Love Mom hand necklace in a third color. I wear mine all the time alternating between the brown and the clear-glitter.

    6. I'm really hoping I get a check for selling my truck in time to get in on this pre-order, I have my eye on an elf one in that fantasy cream brown and an elf black pearl, they're just so cute, I need an entire rainbow of Adoris

    7. I really want a smiling Adori girl, too. Thanks for the long order period I will most likely be able to order her next month ^___^.

    8. Hey guys - I have a question. When I tried ordering, they wanted me to pay as a friend through PayPal. Did any of you have to do that? It seems shady, and I'm not sure I want to send them almost $400 USD with no protection.
       
      #268 Epiphany31415, Jun 23, 2016
    9. They're a reputable company who does a lot of business. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem saving them a few dollars by paying as a friend.

    10. I did. It's a small nuisance (I don't know if he realizes that just means WE pay the fees), and it doesn't seem like he's going to run away with our money any time soon.
       
      #270 aernath, Jun 23, 2016
    11. Did they state, that they want to get the payment as a friend? I though, that they simply did no longer send invoices. I have paid not as a friend, but using the second option (the one with a protection), but it was only for shipping. As much as I could tell, he told me shipping + PP fees.

      It would be better if Harucasting said clearly such things, though.
       
      #271 Swampruler, Jun 23, 2016
    12. Oh, he definitely stated it in the email he sent to me, to send as the Friend option.

       
      #272 aernath, Jun 23, 2016
    13. I see... Well I hope nothing bad will happen to his PP account, then. Haru does look trustworthy, and has, probably, his reasons for doing this.
       
      #273 Swampruler, Jun 23, 2016
    14. Yes, he's made and shipped out many, many dolls, so I'm not worried about not getting the doll. ^_^
      It's just that we (in the USA) pay the fees then, and get no coverage through PayPal if anything does happen.
       
      #274 aernath, Jun 23, 2016
    15. Maybe someone should suggest that he just ask for the paypal fees up front so his customers can use the safer, correct payment method?
       
      #275 phanuel, Jun 23, 2016
    16. This is very strange. I just went back and reviewed all of my Paypal transactions to him, and he never asked for the Friend option on those. I agree, someone should talk to him about this -- but who? I know I'd gladly pay a bit more for my Adori if he needs to charge more to cover the fees!
       
      #276 DollSewist, Jun 24, 2016
    17. He asked me to pay with the Friend option. I didn't mind since he does SO much successful business casting for artists. I usually wouldn't, though.
       
      #277 bluepita, Jun 24, 2016
    18. This is my second time ordering from Haru and he also asked me to pay as a friend. I didn't mind either.There is no option to order just a body in the 2nd preorder so I asked and he did let me order it by itself. So I am not worry about not getting my doll or losing my money.
