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.

Narin Creative/Dollfair Waitlist and Resolution

Oct 16, 2010

    1. My thoughts exactly! Dev...I added your Narae information to the Bimong list. I didn't know everything about your order so add to the list if you'd like.
       
    2. Oh uh, I actually meant the opposite, haha. By relating to Dollfair I mean orders which were originally placed through Dollfair but are still awaiting a resolution, because people waiting for Dollfair orders from Bimong have a different set of issues and expectations from those who placed orders directly. His ability to meet deadlines and fulfill the outstanding Dollfair orders seems to me a separate issue (especially if it's true that he didn't receive sufficient funds from Catrina).

      I'm fine having my information in the Bimong waiting room because my issue with Dollfair was resolved (refund) and I placed an order directly through Bimong's new site. His ability to deliver on my order has nothing to do with my transaction with Dollfair.

      Those are my thoughts anyway.
       
    3. Thanks so much oggi, I would appreciate it.
       
    4. For those of you who follow this thread, but aren't involved I posted a new blog in regards to the 2/3 other companies Dollfair is maintaining a webpage for (where you can still actually pay for the dolls), yet does not have permission to sell.

      It's kind of a repeat post, but I just wanted everyone to be aware who does not know about these two sites already.

      -Erin-
       
    5. Thanks for posting that. I sent you a PM that might be helpful, but it would have to be confirmed by the artist themselves first.
       
    6. Where is the new blog, Erin? Does it include the www.limhwa.com where I just bought my doll from?

      I emailed Catrina four days ago to tell her that if I don't hear from her by Friday (big laugh here) I'll start the dispute process. I really wanted that doll, but I also worked for that money and saved up for her and I'm not going to just lose it now.

      Thanks!
       
    7. I hope you don't mind me answering, but the blog is located here: http://dollfair2010.blogspot.com/

    10. Thanks masala_chai_tea!

      I've heard some encouraging things in the Limhwa waiting room and since I really want my To You Sara, I may end up just waiting to see what happens after all. They seem to be saying that the Limhwa problems aren't near as bad as the Narin, so I'll give it a whirl and keep everyone updated.
       
    11. I would caution people against putting in orders for even Limhwa at this point (not because they won't get filled eventually, but because everything is a bit of a mess right now), but I know that personally Limhwa does have fairly long ordering periods that add length to your "wait time". I would say wait until there is some sort of new ordering period opening up or until there is an official word from the artist of Limhwa. As far as I know, Bimong has been reaching out to the artist of Limhwa as she is one of his former students also.

      Yes, I had spoken with the artist about this the other day to see if she was aware of it and she hadn't been. I saw that posting on her website as well today.
       
    12. Bimong is requesting that people with unresolved Dollfair orders please re-send their original order information to him. The form and notice are as follows:

       
    13. Thank you so much for this update. I will be e-mailing Bimong my info.

      For those curious about the skin colors: a while back I asked Bimong on his site to describe them and this is what I got:

      Me: What is the difference between French resin and Korean resin? Also with color differences how do the NORMAL and REALSKIN differ? Is NORMAL a pink tone and REAL a yellow/Asian tone?

      Bimong:
      French resin = translucence
      Korean resin = an opaque color
      Normal = REAL a yellow Asian tone
       
    14. ...Kinda excited now. Emailing~
       
    15. MODERATION NOTE:

      Ladies and gentlemen, please remember that this thread is specifically for people who are waiting on dolls and/or refunds from both Dollfair and Bimong. Please keep the thread focused on those issues, and not on other problems Dollfair might be having. Members that did not order a Bimong sculpt through Dollfair should not be posting in this thread at all.

      Thank you.
       
    16. Emailed my info to Bimong.
       
    17. This is interesting! So the totally penniless, deathly ill and destitute Catrina, who doesn't have the money to issue refunds to anybody waiting here has purchased a space at IDEX, is either flying or driving from Ohio to Orlando and booking a hotel for a few nights?

      I mean... am I mistaken at what's going on here? Or.... is this really happening?
