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.

    6. * What did you order? - two pairs of Ersa Flora eyes
      * When did you order? - err... sometime in May. I've been bad and forgot to leave feedback for everything that's come in until just now...
      * How was the communication? - Excellent. I sent a message when I thought I had mistakenly selected the wrong method of payment and received a reply very quickly as well as a paypal invoice (which had been what I had intended to pay by :) )
      * How easy was it to pay? - very easy. As stated above I had wanted to pay via paypal but the site had accidentally put it as a money order payment. Once that was sorted out - very easy since I just left a simple message, I received an invoice and paid it. ^^
      * How long did it take to ship? - about a week I think? Normal time coming from the States to Canada.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? - I thought so. They shine just as much as I wanted them too. :P
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? - They were shinier (if that's even a word) than the picture suggested. Any light source will reflect off them lol.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? - indeed I was
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? - there was only one bump, and it was quickly and painlessly rectified as stated above.
      * Would you order from this company again? - most certainly
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? - not applicable since Safrin Doll is a dealer, not the creator.
       
    7. * What did you order?
      Three pairs of Safrin brand eyes, 3 pairs of Eyeco eyes
      * When did you order?
      June 4 (Safrin brand), June 15 (Eyeco)
      * How was the communication?
      Excellent! The site clearly stated that the Safrin brand are made as they're ordered and take a few days longer; Jen emailed me when the eyes were in production and again when they were shipped. The Eyecos were in stock, so I got a shipping notice.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Paypal--easy-peasy
      * How long did it take to ship?
      Four days for the Safrin, one day for Eyeco
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Oh, definitely.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, and even better for the Safrin brand.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Completely.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A
      * Would you order from this company again?
      Yep! I placed the 2nd order for the Eyecos soon after I got the Safrins, and I have a few more gorgeous eyes I want when I get paid.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yep!
       
    8. * What did you order?
      Souldoll P113 14mm eyes
      * When did you order?
      mid June, 2010
      * How was the communication?
      Excellent. I'd initially enquired about getting some custom colours done for a new doll to match eyes I had for a tiny. Jenny was extremely helpful and answered all my questions promptly. She said she could custom make what I wanted (the price for that was very reasonable, too) and would try and match as closely as possible the pictures I'd sent her. In the end, after thinking about it, I knew myself enough to know that if it wasn't an exact match (which would be almost impossible), I wouldn't be happy. I went with my second choice (the Souldoll eyes). Jenny was very patient in waiting the couple of days for me to make up my mind.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Invoiced through PayPal, so dead easy
      * How long did it take to ship?
      Shippedout the next day, received June 28, 2010 (likely held hostage in Canada Customs for a few extra days)
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Very much so.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Absolutely
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A
      * Would you order from this company again?
      Any time I need eyes for my dolls, Safrin is the first place I check. I believe this was my 4th pair of eyes through them and I always recommend Safrin when people are looking for a place to get good eyes at good prices.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      The eyes I bought were Souldoll not Safrin's own product so it's not really applicable.

    10. COMPANY NAME Safrin Doll
      * What did you order? 6 pair of 13mm Eyeco Softglass/Platinum Glass/Silicone eyes over 2 separate orders.
      * When did you order? 8.12.2010
      * How was the communication? Fast, friendly, super helpful!
      * How easy was it to pay? Very easy via paypal thru the SafrinDoll.com website.
      * How long did it take to ship? Next day shipping!
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Definitely.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Except for slight differences in color (which is to be expected), yes.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes, incredibly satisfied.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? One pair of eyes looked a bit 'hazy/foggy' to me. The return/exchg process was very simple & Jenny was very communicative & helpful.
      * Would you order from this company again? I definitely will be.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? As long as the eyes were well-cared-for, I'd consider it. The prices & shipping cost from Safrindoll are so reasonable, though, that it's preferable to just buy new.
       
    11. * What did you order?
      14mm Safrin Acrylics in "Caribbean" & 16mm Safrin Acrylics in "Pure Dark Purple".

      * When did you order?
      August 14th, 2010

      * How was the communication?

      Absolutely fantastic. Got a confirmation of my order, an update when my eyes were in creation, and then a shipping notice with tracking number. :aheartbea

      YES! Great quality, and such reasonable prices!

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      So much better in person! The pictures of the "Caribbean" eyes don't even begin to do them justice.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      VERY much so. The eyes photograph beautifully, and they're exactly the colors I was looking for, for my boys.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

      N/A

      * Would you order from this company again?

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? I don't know if I would buy Eyeco eyes again, but that's more personal preference for glass than any lack of quality with the product. The Iris has moved on as well, but again, she was a very beautiful doll!
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? I was delighted to find that the Iris was in-stock rather than out, as the website stated, and within a few e-mails she was mine!
      * Would you order from this company again? Yes.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? All of the items in this order weren't Safrindoll 'brand,' so ?

      * How easy was it to pay? Paypal - need I say more
      * How long did it take to ship? Each order took no more than 2 weeks for processing & shipping.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Better than! SafrinDoll's own branded eyes are gorgeous...my Pipos Star Cheshire looks gorgeous in both the 20mm Navi eyes - which make him look somewhat evil so I'm saving them for Halloween, and the 18mm Elfin eyes which he currently has in as they are the pperfect match for the colouring of his default face-up. One thing I can say with regards to SafrinDoll's own branded eyes is that this is the first company I can say where the eye colour has turned out being almost an exact match for the colour they appear as online - a big help if, like me, you use Photoshop to do eye tests to choose eyes for your dolls.
      FantasEYES eyes look so much better And richer annd colour than they apear online - not a surprise as it is really hard to photograph metallic eyes and have them appear anything like their true colour but I took this into account when ordering and was happy to discover I was right in my assumptions there.
      I love the 14mm Blooded SafrinDoll eyes and am considering ordering a second pair for my Sebastian Michaelis head when I decide what size he'll need. I have a thing for good red eyes and these hhave good depth and clarity to them.
      The Eyeco a264 in 20mm were ordered as realistic brown rabbit eyes for a Pipos Dali and didn't disapoint - which I'm not suprised about... there are various taxidermy supply companies who sell them for this purpose:sweat

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Same if not better!

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? NNo problems :)

      * How long did it take to ship? Shipped on August 30th
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? The eyes were more brown than I was expecting as the site was using stock photos from Ever Purple (which I have since learned are always more vivid than in person).
      * Were you satisfied with the product? Quality yes, but I was not satisfied with the color.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? (*) I contacted Jenny and said the color was not quite what I had hoped and asked if I could exchange them for a different color. She wrote back to me very quickly saying it was not a problem and that she would hold the eyes I wanted for me. I sent my eyes back and she sent me the new eyes. She even refunded the five dollar difference in price, which was a happy surprise since I had used a five dollar coupon on the first pair that I ordered.
      * Would you order from this company again? Safrin Doll is the first place I go to when looking for eyes. Their return policy is the best out there!
