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. I haven't received my issue from my subscription either. It always arrives a month late or not at all. I end up buying a copy at Border's because I get tired of waiting.

    2. Has anyone gotten it off the shelf yet? My Borders hasn't gotten it in yet, and the Barnes & Noble are thinking they're not going to carry it anymore. :~(

      On a not really related note, how do you get the smily pannel?

    3. Hey Ranmanekineko! I remember the pain of living in an area of Tx much like yours. Is there a Hastings there? I know that for a while that was the only place I was finding HD, but now the B&N close to me carries it.
      I don't have any back issues but I'm ALWAYS up for another trip to the bookstore. PM me your addy and I'll grab the lastest copy in the next few days.

    4. I haven't received mine either. I was at borders today and almost bought a copy but then I would eventually have two. I should be used to waiting, the magazine always seems to arrive three weeks after all the book shops receive them for me. Is everyone else who hasn't received their magazine in CA too?

      Hugs,
      Anna M.

    7. Well, what I heard is there's some kind of routing problem. (ie a post office issue). Specifically the people in CA it seems like

    8. I'm in Ca., and mine finally arrived yesterday. But yeah, I called about my subscription and they said it's a Ca. routing problem. I don't know what they're doing to fix it.

    9. seeing as the post office is the one with the problem, unfortunately I'm not sure what they can do. :\ Apparently one of the post offices that the magazines go through to get to CA has a problem with mail. all the magazines were shipped out on jan 28th, I think,...? So it's not like the ones to CA were just sent late by HD, do you see what I mean? it's very frustrating. :(

    10. I buy mine at the Borders by my office but I don't know how quickly they get theirs in stock.

      Eee I didn't know this is the issue that my babies (though now is adopted by gothiclibrarian) are featured in Aimee's article :aangel:

    11. Mine still hasn't come, and I finally called and cancelled my subscription. They won't replace magazines now, that don't arrive, so what recourse do I have - I end up buying one at Barnes & Noble if it doesn't come - which is what I'll have to do for this issue. It's just very annoying, because I like the magazine a lot... Oh well...

    12. I hit the Borders and then the B&N about a week after people mention they have their's - one always has something - I was surprised they had the Haute Doll magazine. I've always had bad luck with magazine subscriptions and I was so tempted to try this one but I do enjoy the bookstore visits.

      I was impressed with the Burlington MA B&N for another doll magazine I had heard existed but hadn't seen yet.

      If anyone happens to still have the Jan/Feb, March/April and May/June of 2005 and can temporarily part with them, I'd be interested.

    13. My B&N got one in, but it's the last issue, and they were very rude with me, and informed me that was the current issue and they would only be selling it until April. I need to give up and get a subscription...

    14. I live in California and my issue finally arrived. I had already bought one from Border's because I got tired of waiting. When my subscription runs out, I don't think I will renew it.

    15. I got my copy last weekend at B&N. I was about to get a subscription, but with all the problems...maybe I should wait a few more months and see what happens. :sweat

    16. They finally bothered to look into my case, and it turns out their website when I ordered didn't pick up the last 4 digits on my credit card, so the magazines have never been shipped. This has happened to me twice with them now, but I never have this problem elsewhere online when paying with CC. As it took them two months to even look into what's happened (or not as the case may be), I missed out on the Feb 2006 issue.

      I have decided not to subscribe directly, but I would be interested in buying both the Feb and April issues from someone here on the board!! Please PM me if you have these issues for sale, or can pick some up for me nearby :sumomo:

    17. I got mine at Barnes & Noble in Burlington, MA, and there were other copies there... I just hope they don't stop carrying it, like some others have said they'll do in April...
       
      #57 StephG, Feb 17, 2006
    18. I picked up the newest issue a couple of days ago. It was pretty cool! I would consider selling the April 2006 and the August 2006 issue if anyone wants it. The April issue was looked at once, and is relatively mint. The August issue has been looked through and has some reading wear.

      Please PM me if interested! ;)
