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.

    7. When does this issue hit newstands?
       
      #7 EbinCan3an, May 3, 2005
    8. I'd guess first week of June.

    9. On the web site it says it takes 6 weeks before you receive your first issue. If I subscribe is there anyway of getting this issue sooner?

    10. Well, really, it is hard to say. There are a multitude of factors that come in to when exactly any particular issue will hit any particular newsstand. For instance, B&N is set up so that once a magazine is printed, the publisher mails the total quantity ordered by B&N (for all 600+ stores) to one central warehouse. Once there, the individual draw of each store is calculated and the issue will be put into that store's draw. Once a store has enough magazines in one draw to justify sending out a shipment (a shipment being anywhere between 4 to 40 boxes), they are boxed up, invoices printed, and sent out via regular FedEx. They don't get to the stores for a couple of days, and then it takes at least one day for non-hotlist titles (and Haute Doll is not, unfortunately, a hotlist title) to actually hit the sales floor.

      So I'm guessing... yeah, maybe the first week of June, maybe later...

      That was probably more than you wanted to know about magazines, eh? Heh, sorry.

      On the plus side, due to crafty merchandising, I've managed to make Haute Doll grab a space in the top ten of the Crafts and Hobbies section of my store! Heh. Now if only I could do the same with Bust and Mental Floss...

    11. I just subscribed. I called and they said that I would get it with the first mailing of this issue which is the July issue. They also said that it mails out at the end of this month. WooHoo. I'm excited. Can't wait to see that Hound.

      You will. I already had bought the May/June issue so I asked the woman on the phone to start mine with the July issue. But if you said you want to start with the current issue that is the May/June one. That's what the lady on the phone said.

    14. Oh, good. :grin: Thanks for the info! I guess that's one advantage to be had by ordering over the phone... :oops:

    15. :grin: If you get your subscription in this week, you will get in on the first mailing of Haute Doll. We now ship by periodical postage and magazines arrive fairly quickly. It is likely you will get your issue before it is even on the newsstands. Plus at $25.95 for 6 issues ($4.32 an issue), it is cheaper than on the newsstand where it sells for $6.95. Aimee will be in EACH issue and Sherri Rhein does an Esthetics Course in each issue too!! We will cover all the resin ball jointed dolls and have lots of great features planned including a Travelogue by Anu--with her fabulous photos. Just FYI!!

    18. :cow Of course!! Haute Doll Boutique items are open to all readers--from France and elsewhere!! Our beautiful Le jeune homme éclairé (The Enlightened Young Man) has a special affinity for France. He speaks fluent French, is an avid reader of Voltaire and Victor Hugo and plans on studying at the Sorbonne. But that is all I can say for now!!
