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.

    1. Yeah... I think his email was part of his web host so when his website went down, the email went with it.

      I remember he had another one though. One @naver.com I think? This sound familiar to anyone? That one wouldn't be part of his web package so it might be worth a shot.

    5. Aeryn this is the email address I used to contact Saintbloom but it came back with "Failure Notice - Sorry your message to [email protected] cannot be delivered. This account has been disabled or discontinued".

      Has anyone been successful in contacting Saintbloom with a different email address?

      I would love to purchase one of their dolls but I'm now having second thoughts...

    6. Argh! I really hope this gets settled for everyone soon. :<
      Now I'm super glad I ordered secondhand. My girl should be here this week, so I'll share some photos.

    8. I finally started sewing for my girl. ^_^ Going for a rockabilly look with some high waisted jean shorts and some kind of sailor-esque top. The shorts turned out super cute, but I'm going to have to tweak my pattern a little and remake for a perfect fit. Gonna do the top today...just gotta decide on a style first.

    9. Raesha, aww that sounds cute! Can't wait to see. ^_^

    10. The naver email was the second one I thought of! Maybe he can be reached there? Thanks for supplying that!

      That sounds so cute! Pics please when you have her all dressed :D

      --

      A note: Sparkle Girlz shirts fit Saintbloom pretty decently! Dresses are typically too tight though (dem hips) and pants do not work. But for $1.97, the shirts are nicely made! I think they're only available at Walmart for now. I'm working on compiling a list of what fits.

    11. :doh

      I ordered a Brown Betty in July... Saintbloom told me she'd be shipped by August 13th and of course... 1 day passed the claim period with Paypal, his website and email goes down.

      I really hate to think he'd take my money and run but it really does look like that is what happened. :atremblin

    12. CaffeinatedCake, thank you for the clothing info!

      Kayke, ARRGHHH! I really hope he didn't run off with your money. that super sucks. :<
      Are you able to find any secondhand Brown Betty's by chance?
       
      #552 Beansproutmomo, Sep 3, 2014
    13. I'm not looking for Saintblooms anymore... If she show up, great- if not, that's okay too. I would prefer contact by Mr. Saintbloom more than anything.

      I do still love the sculpt, though. I can't wait to see what you all do with them.

      Raesha - I would love to see the clothes you make for your girl!! <3

    14. Honestly, I'm wondering if something catastrophic happened and like, he got hospitalized or something. He had such great communication in the past (at least from what I gathered reading this thread from start to finish).

      What I'm really hoping though is that life just metaphorically ran him over and he'll be back soon with an explanation and apologies.

      Beansproutmomo: No problem!
       
      #554 CaffeinatedCake, Sep 4, 2014
    15. I think my girl will be delivered today. (*w*) I'll take some box opening pics, since I brought my camera with me to work.



      I hope nothing like that happened either. :< Crossing my fingers he pops back up, or Kayke's doll gets delivered soon.

      Edit: She arrived!!

    16. :pout: Well, I went through each lovely page of this thread and was all set for my own Brown Betty ( Thanks to Kayke's Youtube review, I might add ) and now it's broke my heart to see Saintbloom having a hiccup in service? Well, we've seen other companies, especially ones where the doll artists is the only person in the "company? (?), go through hard spots and come out clean on the other side. Hopefully, Saintbloom will get caught up and back to running smoothly again.

      I've never had a tan doll before and was hoping Betty to be my first, non-child-like yosd. :< I'll keep lurking here and keep my fingers crossed, Kayke! I hope you get your doll very near in the future!

    17. Beansproutmomo: Eee! Congrats on getting her home!

      You might be able to get one secondhand, though I'm more hoping that he DOES come back and all is well!

      Also, I found a shop that seems to act as a dealer for Saintbloom in Japan.
      http://www.sorairo-jp.com/product/3746
      Perhaps they might have contact info for him or something? Hmm.

    18. I'll wait to see if Saintbloom bounces back. It's not worth the heartache if for some reason Saintbloom stops production.

      I do love the girls photographed here and on FLickr though.

    20. That's weird, the Japanese website doesn't seem to sell Charlotte. Is Saintbloom shifting the selling and manufacturing workload to them but keeping the Charlotte sculpt strictly under his personal control?

      Sorry, my apologies, Charlotte was on the front page! :doh
