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.

    7. * What did you order?
      Volks Dollfie Dream Sister Sailor Mercury
      Volks Dollfie Dream Sister Sailor Mars
      T.A Academy for Girls School Uniform
      Juban Municipal Junior High School Uniform
      * When did you order?
      Lottery order submitted January 17, 2019
      Notified of winning results January 31, 2019
      Paid PayPal invoice February 7, 2019
      Shipping notification received February 28, 2019
      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      Directly from Volks International English-language webshop
      * How was the communication?
      With the updated webshop system, communication is now via email with manual invoicing via PayPal. They were overwhelmed with the number of lottery orders and communication was not as prompt as I have been accustomed to. After paying on the 7th I heard nothing about my order for several weeks; I emailed on February 25, 2019 and they replied to apologize and say they were very busy and trying to catch up. My parcels shipped a few days later.
      * How easy was it to pay?
      PayPal is a method I prefer, but the manual invoicing step made payment less easy than before. It took about a week to receive the invoice. They did not combine shipping for this order. I paid separate shipping costs and received separate packages.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      For this order, it took 3 weeks to ship. This is longer than my previous experiences for a Volks item that is not pre-order.
      * Were there any missing or broken items in your order?
      No missing or broken items. The dolls and outfits are perfect.
      * If there were any problems with your order, how did the company handle them?
      When I inquired about shipping, the reply was very polite and apologetic. I am satisfied with the quick response.
      * Would you order from this company again?
      I will order from them again, although I hope that a future update will bring back direct payment processing.

    9. [Volks Int]

      * What did you order?
      SDGrB Williams ～The Diligent Scholar～
      * When did you order?
      2/9/2024
      * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer?
      Direct
      * How was the communication?
      Volks takes a few days to reply, but does reply in a timely manner
      * How easy was it to pay?
      I was unable to enter the lottery due to not having a credit card. After that major disappointment, I was able to pay using paypal for in stock Williams.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      Shipped on 2/16, arrived 2/20, DHL
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      My little Volta is absolutely beautiful~ The engineering on this body impressed me. I usually hate a lot of new jointing methods, but they were able to make them look pleasant. I never thought I'd be able to like a mobility joint.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      The doll itself was fine, despite having his face protector come loose in shipment. I noticed a hole in the sleeve of his blouse and thoroughly inspected the rest of the outfit. I found the shorts had a bird's nest of thread in the inner bottom seam of the leg.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      I sent photos of each of the issues with the outfit via email. I was told to clip the excess thread on the pants away, which I did successfully. Volks sent a replacement blouse. The replacement blouse had a hole in a different spot from bad assembly of the shirt. After another email, Volks did not consider this hole to be a defect. They told me to cut off the frayed yarn (which would make an even bigger hole).
      * Would you order from this company again?
      Yes for dolls, but I would not order their clothes, wigs, or shoes unless they were forced on me in a fullset.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Also yes, but not clothes, wigs, or shoes.
