Pathos Tale

Anyone else get charged the extra "remote location" postage fee? DHL -_- Hopefully no one will receive her damaged. My question is, do they have to sign off on the damage for it to be valid? They like to deliver to my place at stupid o'clock in the morning..

 

I hope it's not mandatory, but am just worried that Pathos Tale won't replace damaged parts unless the damage has been verified by the courier (their e-mail specifies to unpack in the presence of the courier to check for damage and send photos within a week) - taking photos within one week I have no issue with...

No remote location fee for me, but am sure I'm going to get charged a ton by UK customs, lol! I hope no-one receives her damaged as well. Am concerned about the same thing, as really don't want to have to unpack her with the courier around to get any damage verified!

 

Thought I would stuff it in, as I'm guessing that you guys are getting shipped by DHL too, there's a problem with their tracking causing updates to be delayed by 4-6 days.
Mystery parcels ahoy!

 

Ugh, I knew there was a reason I got a bad feeling when I saw the shipping was via DHL. My tracking updated to with delivery courier today, and so I've been stuck home waiting, but it says its being delivered to the airport in my country's capital, which is certainly not where I live....

 

Hm, sorry you guys are having issues with DHL. It's the first time I've had something delivered by them, so didn't know what to expect. I've paid customs fees today and apparently my MiSheng is at a processing centre in Birmingham ready to make her way to me (have selected next Weds for delivery and booked the day off work), so fingers crossed they come through :S.

 

She's HERE! Oh my goodness she is an absolute work of art, no damage, her antlers came securely packaged, and she has her own little sleeping bag, kinda like Soom dolls have
I took pictures with my phone to go on instagram asap

 

Ahhh, congrats!! I'm so glad she arrived to you safely (and phew, glad they're packaging those antlers well!). Can't wait to see your photos.

 

If you go on instagram and look at the pathostale hashtag my box opening should be on the newest pictures

 

Just found them - she is stunning (and I love the name you have chosen for yours). Very excited for next Wednesday now. What are your plans for her?

 

@Vanytie thank you the light isnt optimal due to the fact that the sun won't come back until next year here, but I'll try to get more soon.
I'm not 100% decided on her look, I bought the wig in the picture especially for her, but its way too big and looks kinda silly, so I may have to change some things. My fiance has really taken to her though, he wants to put LED's in her head and started going through pinterest to find forest creature inspiration

 

Congradulations!! I'll go have a look for your opening now!
Still no update on mine at all, nothing since the first. In all honesty, I've found DHL to be pretty dodgy so far.

 

My shipping finally updated. . It only just got picked up yesterday (7th for me), so it was just sitting there randomly for a week. ETA is next Thursday, so should have pictures then

 

I hope those still waiting gets their Misheng fast, I can tell you it's really worth the wait though
posting a picture here just for the sake of it, Rathnait in an Iplehouse dress looking much better than anticipated, and Pine in the background looking sulky because she's not the centre of attention xD I've been fussing with her wig a bit and it looks better now than in this picture, so I think I'll keep it for now. I always did plan for her to look rather different or odd in the first place.

I had never heard about this doll company before but she is GORGEOUS !!! she looks lovely in that dress too

 

I've been away from BJDs for a few months but came back swiftly when my Misheng arrived safely on Friday! There was no damage and she was beautifully wrapped. I love her! My fingers are crossed that every else's MiSheng arrives safely as well.

 

@Rivon Rathnait is so lovely - think the wig suits her, in its own quirky way!

My MiSheng (Doris) should be arriving tomorrow, so will post pics of the box opening (a.k.a my first BJD box opening ever). My SOOM Amber head will also be arriving tomorrow, so will be a good day for me!

Also congrats on your MiSheng's arrival @Pony!

 

@Tinyalgae thank you ! she is wonderfully sculpted

@Pony congratulations! Good to hear that other Misheng's have arrived safely

@Vanytie Fingers crossed for a great first box opening certainly a great doll for it!

I discovered that I can't find a single seam line on Nait, she's so smooth its kinda surprising actually, almost reminds me of porcelain.

 

Mine arrived this morning It surprised me how hefty she is compared to my other 60cm girl. I didn't realize before now that she has little teeth

 

Congrats! Antlers all ok? Seems Pathos Tale have done a really good job packing her . Mine is on her way to me with the courier right now!

 

Forgot to post! My Misheng came in around a week ago, and I absolutely adore her!

The antlers actually came with the magnets glued in backwards, but with some work I was able to fix that.

I'll totally post a picture soon!
