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.

Receiving dolls from unexpected people?

Dec 20, 2015

    1. There's probably a thread on this, feel free to delete or move.

      So basically I was just told by my ex that he bought me a doll I wanted. The most expensive doll I wanted. Rounding to around 700 dollars. We were very close friends so gift gestures were not surprising but things had been awkward lately since the break up. Even though I still want to be friends this is SHOCKING. He said it was for my birthday and the holidays which are both days apart. And thought it was a good idea since i was working so much and couldn't get it due to address changes...
      ANYWAY.
      Has anything this awkward happened to you?
      Did you keep the doll?
      Did you reject the doll?
      Did it ruin the doll for you?
      Were you happy anyway?
       
    2. This has never happened to me, I'm afraid and if I'm honest, I'd keep the doll. Especially if it was a gift and a doll I wanted. I also doubt it'd ruin the doll. I think if somebody got me the doll they'd be far from ruined and rather be a treasure like "This person could've spent $700 on themselves but they spent it on me" so I'd be pretty happy!

      I hope you like the doll though, it'd suck if you couldn't look at them without feeling guilty that you never saved up for them and somebody else bought them for you...
       
    3. Wow. I've never had anyone outside of my husband give me money for a doll, much less buy me one. Don't hold what he did against the doll-- keep it & enjoy it. However, if he starts using it as a way to manipulate you (i.e. "Well I got you that doll, so you should X Y Z.." Give it back.
       
    4. That's very generous and thoughtful of them!
      I have never had it happen to me with BJDs (it has happened with other expensive stuff though and I am eternally grateful for the awesomeness that is my friends) but I this would probably be me :?:aeyepop::nowords::ablink::o:nosebleed:abow::fangirl::whee::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: :hug:
      I would totally accept and keep the doll and treasure it forever! I would be overjoyed that someone thinks that I'm worth spending so much on.
      The only thing that could ruin the doll for me is if that person expected something crazy from me in return (like a kidney or a Bentley or for me to do something that they know I'm totally against)
