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. About a month. I took the plunge and ordered a doll directly from the manufacturer... went to BJDC to get a taste of what I was getting into, and ordered an instock doll soon after. While I'm still waiting for the other doll to be delivered, it's fun thinking she has a friend waiting for her.

    3. I impulse ordered my second doll a month and a half after my first. A bit over a month later, my second doll showed up first! Some companies really spoiled us on wait times back then
       
    4. A couple months after she arrived, at most. She really needed a friend her size as all my others were much smaller.
       
    5. About 2 hours …….*_**_**_* Never keep searching for dolls after your purchase

    6. About a year, maybe a little bit less than a year... And then it was around 3 years before I bought another.

    10. Like… 1 month before receiving the first one… and I printed 2 dolls on that time so I get used to a BJD XD.
       
    11. I think it was a couple a weeks most of my dolls when I first started out were secondhand so I didn’t have to wait that long for them
       
    12. I got my first doll new from the company, which took 2.5 months to arrive.
      Second doll was bought secondhand, and came a month after the first.
       
    13. Mmmm.... probably about a month or two, I was way to excited about my first one so obviously I kept starring at other dolls and pulled the trigger for the second time, though he was my third doll to arrive. Long wait
       
    14. Three weeks, but the second doll was only a floating head. Didn't stay floating for long though!
       
    15. I ordered my first last December, and ordered my second back in March. So about 3 months. And then two in rapid succession around August. I did manage to get the first...first lol.
       
    16. 8 years....ish...possibly less but definitely in the years range, The first being late 2012, the "second" (tldr, the size was wrong) sometime in 2019, and then the one I count as my actual second being mid 2020.

    17. 9 years.

      I was incredibly anxious about “wasting money” on a doll that might not work out. Finances, the fear of making a mistake, and many other factors were why it took me as long as it did.

      Finally, at the end of 2021, I decided to take the plunge. It has been a rough road, mentally and emotionally, but I am glad I am able to have bjds again. <3

    18. About 5 or 6 years. My mom got me my first BJD at a young age (14 years old), but they were very expensive so I had to wait until I became a student to be able to afford my second one.
       
    19. 3 years!!
      I received my first doll in start of 2014, at age 14, and I ordered the second one when I turned 16 or 17, I believe!
       
    20. About two months.

      I ordered my first doll at the end of December 2017, but he was a pre order. So I got two in stock dolls while I was waiting, I bought them in February, but they arrived in March 2018.

      My 2nd & 3rd doll showed up well before my 1st doll.
