Iplehouse Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

they just opened some limitedo outfits as well and you can get 2 outfits after buying a fid this month.
If you wish to be sure about a new sculpt you could ask at the board
usually they open a new sculpt in the middle of the month but as its christmas event and a limited Eid Leonard released, I doubt there will be a new sculpt this month.

 

Hmm, good point! That's a good idea to ask on the board, no point waiting if there's not going to be a new one released!
I'm a bit confused with the outfits though - do they mean you can order a limited outfit that doesn't belong with the doll? I know someone who wants to order Doria but get Isabel's outfit - maybe I should ask on the board if that is allowed too?

 

I asked on the Q&A board if I ordered FID Elle (who doesn't have an outfit available on her tab) if I could get 2 other outfits from other dolls and they said yes, just leave a message on the Q&A board and they would add to my order and send me an invoice.

 

Ah thank you!!! That's really good to know!

AND EDIT to avoid a double post: Iplehouse said they are releasing Dylan in FID size this month! I'm not that tempted, although if they do him a crown like he has in EID size I'm going to want it so much!!!

 

Question for UK Iplehouse owners.

What - if any - customs duty did you have to pay for your Iplehouse orders? What are they like in terms of what they declare the item value as?

I know I'm going to have to pay VAT, I just want to factor any other import costs in as well

 

Aaaah! Your Jim Henson's Storyteller piece is wonderful!!! The devils are perfect, and Lawrence makes a splendid soldier! Your photos made my day!

 

Thank you. I was really pleased with Lawrence as the Soldier, and decided to address the whole story as best I could - Soldier & Death - Fav Photos 2021

 

Crissaegrim, the customs fees I've had to pay for EMS bjd deliveries via ParcelForce to the UK have been between £26 and £42 this year. I consider that to be quite reasonable (though it's best when they just arrive with no customs to pay at all!), and I never understand what the value is listed as, as it looks so small on the customs docket, so I think Customs at Gatwick just guess? A UPS customs charge last year during the Covid lockdown was about £86. I think UPS were only used that time as there were severely limited postal options worldwide then of course. I dread them being used again, they were a terrible service imo. It's as if they'd never dealt with a customs charge for an item from Korea before!

 

Thanks so much for the link!!

 

Thank you. That's definitely good news and quite reasonable.

 

About how long is it taking between order and ship for FIDs these days?

 

I'm working on new shirts for my three knights so they don't always have to wear chainmail under their surcoats. Baron's is almost done...

 

Beautiful!

 

Such a lovely photo!

 

So beautiful!!! As always, I love your excellent work.

 

Was taking some holiday themed pics today... Thanks to Claude and lighting I think they are having some kind of sabbath instead of any wholesome holidays this year

Heading to the castle for Christmas....

 

I love the scarf on top of the cloak and the delicate sprinkling of snow. I meant to ask, where do you get those delightful tiny clasps for his tunic?

 

Thanks. They aren't exactly 'clasps'. They are discontinued Tierracast Multi Strand Connectors. I sewed them on on top of hooks and eyes so they'd look and act like clasps. I still had some in stock - enough for my first two knights - and I needed more for the third, but they were discontinued and hard to find. However if you google multi strand connectors, there's lots of other nice designs that would work just as well.
