SartoriaJ Mini

Well, he got caught at Customs and I had to pay considerable ransom for him, and now another $60+ to send his head back. SIGH. I just hope they mark him as being 'Returned' when they send him back, or I'll get slapped with even more Customs charges.

 

Lol, I feel your pain, I am too. Figured I'd better do it before it's over.

 

@crazybib congrats! I'm very happy with my elf Dominic and elf Juliet, what colors did you get?? Now I feel tempted to take some photos of mine together...

 

I would cry if I had to pay Customs. Seriously, with the way things are going I'm hoping for no more dolls. I love the elves however, I did notice that the gray skin resin was not an option. Plus, I do have the Sonoran Beige Elf Jude already; it all works.

Make sure they show you the faceup before they ship it off to you, and request the return of Item on the shipping.

 

Yes, it's depressing to have to pay all those extra Customs charges. Especially considering our dollar is so low so I already have to pay 30% above the total US price. Throw in the Customs charges and I'm looking at almost a thousand dollars for a doll. So I have to REALLY want it enough to order it. Fortunately it's only been the last two dolls from SJ that got caught at Customs. Before that everything just sailed through. I do have a far less expensive doll coming soon, and I'll see if it gets caught or not.

And Jay did say that they'd send me a photo before they send him.

 

Welp, I bit the bullet on Elf Jude, partially because I had a pretty large shop credit which knocked the price down significantly and also because I've now got an actual storyline for both him and human Jude.

They're twin brothers who were both originally elves but then human Jude got cursed into being a human and they're desperately working to re-elf-ify him. Not sure what world that is or what the storyline is but that's what my brain is saying.

 

I ordered Elf Lobelia to join my other elfs, Jude and Juliet.

 

Question. Did you get charged shipping? Because it said free shipping for all elves but I seem to have been charged it. I've raised it with Jay but I was just wondering.

 

No shipping charge. But it does add the shipping and then give an equal discount.

 

@skyealloway I ordered the warm ivory. I'm hoping it's similar to Iplehouse NS?... I have a Fog Grey Lobelia, she's my only SJ doll so I don't have a basis for comparison. I follow you on Instagram and love all of your elves!

 

Warm Ivory is a pinky white. Peach Cream would be closer to Iplehouse normal.

 

Sartoriaj warm ivory is close/almost the same as Iplehouse white. It is lighter than Iplehouse normal.

 

Their free shipping ended on May 21 South Korea time. It may be that in your date it's the 21st but for them it's the 22th.

No, to me, WI is not like NS. It's very white.

 

Thank you Nancy. I was afraid of that.

Thank you @jaball1860 It's so hard to tell from the pictures.

Thank you @Bren, the gorgeous picture is very helpful I thought the SJ peach cream looked like Iple's NS, but also thought it could be closer to Iple's Peach Gold thus the Warm Ivory would be NS?... You just never know how it will show up on monitors. I should have asked you guys first. Oh well, guess my elves will be more ethereal?

 

Jay told me in approx. 1 month they will prepare another 5th Division character. I wonder which size that will be ... very excited about that! And if I am lucky, I will get my Matias today

 

That was it. I didn't think about the time differential. Fortunately Jay's been nice about it and refunded me the shipping.

 

Sartoria is very easy to work with. I think they would change the skin color if you request it very soon!

 

@crazybib You are welcome. PC is a very nice color. here is my Elf Jude in PC tho you can't see his pointed ears. The brunette Original Jude head is a 5/6 size on a Iple PG body.



Lately tho, the PC color is a little more pink.


@Crissaegrim and yes, Jay is super nice and has great customer service. Glad he was able to help you out.

@crazybib aw thanks! I took a photo of my Dominic and Juliet together - Dominic is Sonoran Beige and Juliet is Warm Ivory. I had an iplehouse normal skin doll (I don't anymore) and like the others are saying, warm ivory is much more um 'magical' looking haha.

Also I agree, SartoriaJ does have excellent customer service

 

.

What a handsome couple. I really like seeing your ELf DOminic and your Elf Juliet.
