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. I just learned that the Canadian dollar went down to 87 cents US...

      Maybe I should finish paying her layaway before it's gets so low that the doll ends up costing me twice as much? :(

    3. Hum... I finished paying for Topaz yesterday rather than keep her on layaway.

      I spoke with a friend of mine today, and she is rather convinced that our goodol CA will not be feeling better for a while. :(

    4. Oh that's nice! That does make three Topaz in the Netherlands. I also ordered her and have her on layaway.

      But I was stupid enough to make a mistake with my first layaway payment and payed in euro's instead of US dollars.:doh I'm still trying to find what I exactly payed so that I can pay her of next month. But I didn't get any reply to my email yet.

      Does anybody know how quickly Soom replies to email or is it better to use the Q&A board? It is more than a week ago since I send it. They did receive the first payment, because the status of my order changed, but no answer to my mail.

    5. They answered very quickly to all my messages on the QandA board.

    6. Okay now that the waiting game is on for Soom Topaz, what are your plans for this fabulous fairy coming your way??

    8. I've never tried emailing them, but for the Q&A board, they answer every day except I think Saturdays and Sundays. So you might want to try putting a private message up on the board for them.

    9. Just giving this thread a bump.
      And to ask if anyone might know when they might start shipping this beauty out?

    10. I paid her off a few weeks ago and they said it would take appr 30 to 50 to make her ready and ship. I have a week before Christmas as the 50th day. I am so hoping she will be here in the "Nick" of time.
       
      #810 Muse Star, Nov 14, 2008
    11. "Nick" of time...Cute!

      Did you get her as full set?
       
      #811 lizbet, Nov 14, 2008
    12. i hope u took into acount how busy and slow everything gets in the mail with christmas pressents flying around >.<
      i really hope they get here before christmas too.. but its cutting it close =(
       
      #812 piffie, Nov 14, 2008
    13. I highly doubt SOOM will get these girls out by Christmas. Even Bix and IO (mostly) haven't shipped yet.
       
      #813 Yuna-Ki, Nov 14, 2008
    14. Bix hasn't shipped yet...? :o
       
      #814 lizbet, Nov 14, 2008
    15. ...nope. I paid my layaway off on him just the other week finally, but not even the folks who paid on the first day have rec'd a shipping notice for him.

      It sounds like they have two groups of people doing production, and they're alternating the monthlies between those two groups. Bix came after Onyx for one of those lines from the sound of it, and the grey resin held them up.

    16. well seem like some Io are heading home already.......soooo we are hopeful, we i know i got a bit more to go -.-
       
      #816 Mephistol, Nov 15, 2008
    17. I know I am not getting my hopes up, I am not waiting for my Topaz before January or February, and I paid her a few weeks ago too. :doh
       
      #817 Fereshteh, Nov 15, 2008

    18. Everything except for the face up. Couldn't afford both the dress and face up so I choose the dress instead. I am doing the face up myself

      pacing back and forth is slowing down some.

    19. I loved this doll too. ;-) I guess more so, because I sculpt Polymer Clay fairies. I am working on my first OOAK BJD that I think will also be a fairy. I would love to do the crystal clear ears. Not sure how to accomplish that feat. LOL But they really make Soom's doll magical, along with her hands and feet. ;-)

    20. Yippee! I have a new baby doll! ...And she's WONDERFUL!

      The Soom site has a Topaz shipping schedule depending on when your armoured car arrived in Korea with your life-savings. Apparently they shipped in December....

      I can't wait to put her together--the translucent ears and feet etc are exquisite!

      Head & features are larger than Dahlia, which is my only other doll.

      My one question.... Uh, er.... All the pictures showed wings. My shipment didn't have wings. Now I have to research Fairie aviatory technology to find out how they do it.

      Exciting! --Sandy:D
