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.

    3. * What did you order?
      Two wigs, an outfit, and a pair of high-heel feet
      * When did you order?
      September 1, 2011
      * How was the communication?
      It wasn't fantastic. I emailed about when to expect the package to be mailed after a month, and I didn't receive a response - although a few days later I did get notice it was shipping. So it could have been better but it wasn't terrible.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very - just by paypal!

      Just over a month. I ordered on Sept. 1st and it shipped on October 11. It took a week to get here.

      Even better - everything is great!

    4. What did you order?
      - JID Tania + wig.

      When did you order?
      - 26 August

      How was the communication?
      - Didn't need to contact them, so have no complaints here. They let me know via email when it had shipped, making all the times I'd logged in to the site to check my order kinda pointless.

      How easy was it to pay?
      - I used Paypal and just followed the instructions on what to do.

      How long did it take to ship?
      - It took a month before it was shipped and then was in transit for no more than two weeks, which is fairly good since I'm in New Zealand!

      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      - Given that I've never seen a BJD before this doll, I don't think I can say! There were no scratches or damage, and she could stand straight out of the box. There's really nothing that I can find to complain about. The wig was also of wonderful quality and I was really impressed. Super soft and realistic.

      Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      - Yup! I ordered Option B, and found her faceup looks better than in the photos.

      Were you satisfied with the product?
      - Completely.

      If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      - N/A.

      Would you order from this company again?
      - I'm currently trying to resist buying a real skin JID Asa, so uh... :P

      Would you buy this company's products secondhand?
      - Definitely.

    6. * What did you order?
      SID NS Claude

      * When did you order?
      August 12, completed layaway on October 10th

      * How was the communication?
      Very prompt and easy to understand.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy, used layaway with PayPal.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      He shipped the same day I sent my last layaway payment, and arrived 3 days later.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Most certainly! Iplehouse's products are amazing.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Product, yes... but when my doll arrived, the box had been water damaged in storage and was filled with black mold. The exterior box was pristine, which made it pretty clear that the doll box had gotten very, very wet long before it was shipped. I'm not sure how this got past Iplehouse as something that was okay to ship, unless they'd completed casting of my Claude and boxed him up a long time before I had finished paying for him, and didn't take a second look inside before shipping him out.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      I sent Iple a message about my concerns with the water-damaged doll box and the extreme mold, but they brushed it off as "normal" and told me to have a nice day. So essentially, did not solve it or put my concerns to ease at all.

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Yes, despite the mold issue. Their sculpts are great and the product is really high quality.

      * Would you buy this company's products secondhand?
      Yes.

      Good, I asked to combine two orders and it was done without a problem.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Easy, just sent paypal payments.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      I received a shipping notice 4 days after I paid him off, and he took 4 days to get here.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yep! Nothing wrong with him aside from a magnet in his head cap popping out.

      Well, yes aside from teh fact I ordered him blank lol

    20. * What did you order?
      JID's Ryan and Tania in RS. BID Serca in RS, all with face-ups.

      * When did you order?
      April 5th 2012

      * How was the communication?
      Very polite and patient! I asked some dumb questions and had a panic over UK customs, but Iple were consistently polite and helpful.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very. PayPal.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      About 6 weeks. They shipped on May 17th.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      I've only had one BJD before these, so I'm no expert. They did seem lovely quality, better than my first BJD. My only issue is that the JID girl feet do keep slipping and I keep having to put them back. Everything else was perfect. Packaging, craftsmanship, and the face-ups exceeded my expectations.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Slight differences in face-up colouring, especially Tania's lips, but I was so pleased with them overall, that I really didn't mind about that.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Very satisfied, very happy.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A

      After I bought my dolls, I stupidly managed to damage my Ryan's head! I emailed Iple telling them what I'd done, and that it was my fault, asking could I buy a new head. They wanted to see pictures of the damage first, and once they'd seen the images, they said it probably wasn't too bad but because I'd asked, they put up a special sale for me to buy a new head. Again the customer service was great, and the quality of the item was perfect.
