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.

Paging Yoyomy (Mio)

Jun 15, 2009

    1. I think we have all had great affection for Mio over the years and admiration for her talents. If only she would communicate I believe we would grant her whatever understanding she needs if things are going badly for her in any way.

      But without communication, I do confess that I would be willing to have our group leader ask Paypal for a refund.

      I am wondering what the others in my group are feeling about this.

    2. I don't think paypal can do anything as it's well beyond their 45-day limit. I've been wondering about taking legal action too, to get my money back. Unless Mio shows some sort of life, I don't know what we all should do...how long do we have to wait? I've heard of people not getting their stuff for a year, so...I don't know if we should all give up hope yet.

      I would rather have the items I ordered though, I'm still hoping Mio will show her face soon...

    3. Thanks, Poots-kin. I knew there was some sort of limit on Paypal refunds. I just didn't know how long it was >.<

      Maybe the Mods could offer advice?

    4. This long wait is really much longer than normal for Mio.. I hope she is still out there somewhere and will surface.. I believe her to be honest and if able will come through with everyones items sometime.. Not sure if anyone from her area is on DOA and knows her to find out if she is ok.. Maybe she is in a creative major slump or something..

      I hope she will eventually get on the boards and let us all know if all is ok.. We are all being so very patient and hope she can just try to let us know that she is still ok..

    5. To be honest, I'm kind of afraid that she might have...met with misfortune. Anyone hear of any sign of her on the internet anywhere?
       
      #45 Tsuminaki, Nov 26, 2009
    6. no, the only other place I know where she posts is flickr, and she hasn't posted in a long time :(

    7. Aren't there some Korean members of DoA who might be able to ask after Mio? Or else local artists in the BJD community.

      Also, has anyone checked Yahoo! Japan to see if her clothes are listed on there?
       
      #47 glass_mountain, Nov 30, 2009
    8. This.
      I'm not even sure I want the clothes anymore. I could really use that $370 right about now. I dont even think I'll have the doll I bought them for for much longer.

    9. Well, that is the problem with long delays. One's dolls change over time. And that is a lot of money to be out of pocket.
       
      #49 glass_mountain, Dec 4, 2009
    10. Amen, sister! I wish we had the slightest idea how to go about this... it is really, really annoying meanwhile, and anything but fair business practice.

    11. Has anyone tried contacting the person Mio shares the main site with? UMa? Maybe she knows Mio personally?
       
      #51 radiotrash, Dec 5, 2009
    12. I could not find a way to contact Uma by email on the site but there is a telephone number: 011-727-2822. Any Korean speakers out there who could help?

    13. Just bumping out of sheer desperados

    14. I just wrote on Uma's message board, I don't know if I'll get a helpful response but at least her message board seems to get replies, so that's a hopeful sign...will let everyone know the response when i get it!

    15. Poots-kin! You're an angel. You get my vote for next new Mod! Thank you for doing the post on Uma's message board. Way to tackle the problem!

      Cautious but hopeful "Whoot".

    16. Does anyone who has received something from her possibly have her address? Or perhaps anyone who has sold to her might have a record of her address in PayPal history?
       
      #56 glassalice, Dec 18, 2009
    17. I am bumping because this is a good request, I myself haven't received anything from mio in over a year or more and do not have her info, I recall it being hard to read.
       
      #57 Amanohara, Dec 22, 2009
    18. I check Y!J daily, and while Mio has sold OOAK sets from time to time, I haven't seen any auctions by her for ages and ages.

    19. Thank you for checking on this, Quiet Queen. It's very good of you to help us <3

    20. Sorry to hear of the VERY VERY long wait on your Mio orders. That really sucks. Mio's clothing is perfect but her customer service needs some work...

      I have her mailing address I kept off the last order I received (Feb. 2009).
      If anyone would like to PM me I would be more than happy to give her address to them.
      I don't think it would be right to post her address here out in the open forum.
