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. Wow, this is crazy exciting. ;_; I sent in my payment this morning and I got to be all special and use my bank's magic bill-paying thing. I'll be waiting a little longer for Jun, but waiting is almost always worth it. After all, she's my Christmas Doll! ;_; Christmas Dolls are very special dolls as you will know if you ever read The Story of Holly and Ivy as a child.

    5. Glad the phone number was posted beforehand otherwise my sister would have missed out on Jun.

      If Volks or Haute dolls comes back to New York
      to visit let us know. There are many fans of Volks living in the New York Area.

      My Volks dolls would be glad to welcome them.

    11. I sent out my payment this morning for Isao! :D I made the check out to Haute Doll and I'm sure that's an acceptable payee(I work at a bank :lol: ) I can't wait to get him but I will probably keep him in the box until Christmas.

      This will be my first LE BJD what can I look forward to? Do I have to put the eyes in? Any sanding?etc. or is all of this stuff done already?

      Thanks
      CJ

    13. I just read on the volks site that they include a free Haute Doll magazine with the order of a LE. I wonder if we still get the mag if ordering from Haute Doll themselves. I hope so, then I won't have to wait for B&N to take their sweet time getting it in.

      Also I just read on Barbie Bazaar that if you pay Haute Doll with a personal check you have to wait 3 weeks for the check to clear. Now I've only written a total of three checks in all the years I've owned a checking account(I prefer plastic) but that seems longer than usual. If I would've known it would take that long(I expected a week for it to clear) then I would've sent a money order(writing a check was just convenient for me at the time). Looks like I won't be spending Christmas with Isao afterall :( Gonna have to rely on my DD that I'm expecting to keep me busy til he gets here. ::Going to the waiting room::


      CJ <----------Is gonna miss her boy for the holidays :crushed

    14. Hi DK,

      Maybe you could call and ask Haute Doll to destroy your check and send them a money order instead. Just remember it has to reach them by December 13th, or your doll may go to someone on the waitlist Since you work in a bank you should also be able to put a stop payment on the check you sent, and have easy access to getting a money order to replace it. I was told that it "could" take upto 3 weeks to process my order if I paid by check, not that it absolutely would...meaning that it could take less time and you might stilll have your doll by Christmas. And if not, you can always celebrate "little Christmas" aka Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th. Just some suggestions, I know its hard to wait. :wink:

      Hugs, Juli DC :)

    15. Hey Juli DC!

      Thanks for the suggestions. I thought about having them destroy the check but I figure by the time I send out a money order tomorrow morning(Friday) it may not reach them in time and I would be heart broken if they gave him to someone else. So I guess I have to sweat it out. It is good news to hear that it could take "up to" instead of a firm 3 weeks. So there is hope!

      BTW I remember you announced that you got your Kaede not to long ago. I think Kaede is so CUTE! For some reason I could totally see Isao and Kaede as brother and sister, don't know why but I just think they'd look super cute together. Perhaps I should consider getting myself a Kaede too :grin:

    17. Eek! Yours came already? Wow, that was a fast turn around time! I priority-mailed my payment, so maybe mine's on the way, too! (I hope mine comes today and not tomorrow, becuase if she comes tomorrow I'll have to wait all the way to Monday to pick her up. I'm so impatient ^^; )
       
      #157 kiwiflowers, Dec 10, 2004
    18. I also got mine today, :lol:
      I used express mail to send my payment on Monday, so my doll was shipped on Tuesday.
      They were shipped using UPS ground.
      So I guess you have to wait for a few more days for your Jun :chibi

    19. Haute Doll do ship quickly. They will ship the doll the same day if you send a money order.
