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.

      I would consider it since I love their limiteds - but definitely prefer straight from Volks.

      The only thing I disliked was that I got hit with $80 in UPS fees :( Much worst than customs. Even so - I'll just be more prepared next time I order. ;D

      French Marine Sailor clothing set
      * When did you order?
      19 June 2011
      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      I ordered from the Volks International website.
      * How was the communication?
      Very good, I received notifications when they received payment, when my order was ready to ship and also when my order had shipped, complete with tracking information.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy. There was a choice to pay with credit card or by Paypal, I chose Paypal.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      Approximately a week.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

    3. * What did you order?
      Volks SDG Kun 2010 Renewal, VS Super Dollfie Clip Holder 150mm, Metallic Eyes

      * When did you order?
      October 23rd

      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      Directly from Volksusa.com

      * How was the communication?
      I got a order reciept and a shipping nottice when my package was shipped.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy with credit card.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      I chose USPS EMI and I got my package on the 31st of October. I did get a customs bill of 99$ from Canada Post but I did avoid brokerage fees that I would have gotten with UPS.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Saying that I was really impressed would be an understatement. Even with the customs bill I still feel like it was a good deal. Kun is perfect and the clip holder is very sturdy.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      SDG Kun looks even better in person than in the sales pictures. Especially the faceup, it looks a lot better than in the photos. The eyes were also very pretty.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes, very much. I was impressed with the little things like the accompanying guidebook considering I have never gotten anything remotely informative from a company when ordering a doll before and I think that it is great especially for a new owner.

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

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Absolutely.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yes.
       
    4. * What did you order?
      A selection of small in-stock items (paints, pastels, notions, wig styling sprays etc)

      * When did you order?
      September 15th

      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      Directly from volksusa.com

      * How was the communication?
      The customer service was absolutely golden - I'm from the UK, but I was visiting the US for a couple of weeks and asked them if they would ship to a hotel because the international site wouldn't ship some of the items I wanted (the paint thinners in their acrylic sets, I suspect.) They replied to every email promptly and very courteously, I had to provide ID/card scans etc for security purposes, but they went out of their way to make the whole process as smooth as possible.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy, card was charged as soon as ID was provided.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      Shipped the next day iirc, 16th September, arrived the following Wednesday I think, at my hotel in Disney World, hohoho.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yeah, think it was cheaper for me to order as a proxy US customer as it were, than to buy through the international site in yen + int'l shipping.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yep.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yeah, it's all good

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

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Absolutely! I would like an Elena in the near future, am a bit reluctant to order from Volks int'l due to their customs declaration policies lol, but maybe if I happened to be in the US again, or knew someone who was, and Volks USA had an Elena in stock... heheh.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yeah definitely, tends to be common practice with their dolls.
       
    5. * What did you order?
      I ordered a 03 head and the DD2 body.
      * When did you order?
      Umm I think I ordered maybe 2 and a half weeks ago.
      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      I ordered through VolksUSA.
      * How was the communication?
      It was great!
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Actually..no it was more complicated than I thought.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      Four business days!
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Extremely good price<3
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yep! Exactly alike!
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      So satisfied like you wouldn't believe.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      Well the card she came with didn't have my name on it but they quickly and efficiently fixed that, no problem.
      * Would you order from this company again?
      In a heartbeat!
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Mmm, yeah if I saw one for the right price!

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Easy to pay with CC, kind of wish they had a paypal option though

      * How long did it take to ship?
      one work week

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      I have yet to try the face-up materials, but I'm very impressed with the quality of the eyes. For $10 acrylics, I think I like them better than the silicone eyes I ordered for over twice the price.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, the eyes are a little less blue than I would have expected though.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes.

    11. * What did you order?
      Volks Super Dollfie Wood/Metal Type C Doll Stand.
      * When did you order?
      March 27, 2012.
      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      Via Ebay from itssoldherestore.
      * How was the communication?
      No communication.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Used Paypal.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      Oh jeez, this was way back....I think they shipped it out a day after payment and it took 5 days to receive.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes and no. The doll stand was sold out from Volks USA (and costs more), and I saved about 20 bucks winning it. The base is heavy and well constructed, but the metal pole is very "wanky." It's the saddle type of stand, and it can be a pain to get my Kun to balance on it, without shoes. And even with her shoes, she still doesn't stand as straight as I would like her too. Overall, the stand does it's purpose of holding Kun in place, and she looks very lovely on my desk.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes and no. I like the stand, but I wish the metal pole was constructed better.​
      * Would you order from this company again?
      From Volks yes, but not from this seller seeing that they are not selling any SD related items at the moment.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Only if they are new or new in package.

      Communication was excellent. She answered all my questions and was very polite.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      Used Paypal.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      She sent it the day I sent payment! And I got it on May 16, 2012! Very fast shipping!
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      You guys have no idea how long I waited for this dress. I saw it back in February on the Japan website and tried to win, but lost. And then again I tried at the USA site, but lost. I posted a WTB post on flickr, but no one responded. I was surprised to know that she wanted to sell it :D She made my month!
