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.

How will the recently implemented tariffs affect your doll collecting?

Nov 9, 2024

    1. After the BBB update:

      The de minimis exemption will be eliminated in two years after President Donald Trump signed a sweeping policy bill into law on Friday.

      As part of the package introduced as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” the U.S. will repeal the exemption allowing imports under $800 to enter the country duty and tax free, effective July 1, 2027. Exemptions will remain in place for eligible items bought during travel and bona fide gifts from foreign citizens to U.S. residents.

    2. I've been holding off on buying any new dolly stuff as I have a monthly budget of expenses that I usually adhere to. Dolly stuff and other hobbies are in the "Fun Money" category. Especially now that I have more medical appointments to make and attend (and not so surprisingly medical insurance isn't paying for these appointments), my hobbies are taking a hit pretty hard this year. It's going to be a waiting game for me for a while at least.
