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.

Others holding your dolls - HOW TO POLITELY SAY NO

Jun 21, 2010

    1. i just say "No, im sorry, he is tsundere :(" in a calm voice possible
       
    2. I usually don't let people I don't know touch my stuff especially something like a doll. I would probably just tell them no and if they question me, I would come back with because I don't feel comfortable. Most people will understand that answer and will leave it at that.

      I agree with the people who say don't bring up the cost. It's better safe than sorry.
       
    3. Only 3 people have ever been in the same room with my dolls. So far my dolls have not left my bedroom.
      My best friend Cory holds my dolls whenever she comes over, and she is very respectful and considerate of them. She loves them almost as much as I do. She is about to become a BJD collector herself. I trust her completely with them.

      My friend Sharon is also careful with them, but she only touched them once when she was helping me unpack from moving. She placed them on the shelf for me and then left them alone.

      My room mate Anna was with me when I unboxed my little 1/6 Vivian (5Star) and she was very sweet about it. I let her hold Vivian and she was very gentle, but then she grabbed the envelope containing the COA and tore it open before I could stop her. I silently freaked for a moment, but kept it to myself.
      Since my dolls don't leave my bedroom, there is no danger of someone grabbing a doll uninvited.
       
    4. I think this is one of those things where you just simply say "I would appreciate it if you did not touch the doll. Thank you". Polite, but no explanations. It is your property and you can chose who is allowed to touch or not. With no further explanations. You don't have to explain to people why you don't want them using your toothbrush. Same thing.
