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.

What if someone else opened your doll?

May 26, 2010

    1. My boyfriend constantly opens things because he's very nosy! :D He's the most secretive person I know but will happily nose in everywhere else. I've grown to not care about it too much but he hasn't had the chance to do it with a doll yet!
      He'll buy me a CD and play it on the way to mine, he'll hand me a CD case (which I don't know is actually empty) and I'll put it on the side thinking I'll play it later and we'll get in his car and it'll be halfway through and he'll flick through and show me all the good ones and that angers me enough, I mean come on it is pretty weird! :D
      Doll and package wise I would not speak to them for days. It's my bloody private package and they go ahead and open it, I don't know anyone who would want me to do it to them so they shouldn't to me. I would be so mad if someone opened my doll first, I got mad when my mum used to open my bank statements (even if I hadn't even spent anything that month!) it's just repect for one anothers privacy and it's against the law! :D
      Permission first is fine, otherwise they can keep their nose out and wait for me to open it! :D
       
    2. I would detest someone if they opened my BJD. The Box Opening is such a huge deal, and people just don't touch my stuff in general. >_> It really annoys and angers me. If someone even touched my doll without my permission, let alone open it, they would likely find their fingers in danger! It's a personal, private thing, and I would feel almost violated if they opened my doll.
       
    3. I would be annoyed, it's like mail. It is private! But If i was away, and the doll arrived with the box completely smashed up I'd appreciate if a family member checked for me.
       
    4. I would feel pissed and violated if someone, no matter who, open any of my mails or packages without my permission. It's just plain rude in general!
       
    5. I would be really sad, actually. I've only been waiting three weeks for my doll, but, already, I am looking forward to opening him and having this big moment of unwrapping him and being the first person to touch him out of the box. I even plan to record the box opening because it's just that special to me. But, if someone else did it for me, destroying this moment for me, I'd definitely be upset. Fortunately, I don't know anyone who would do this. They all know better and they have no need to touch my package anyway. :)
       
    6. If someone opened my doll, I would cry.
      I mean I want to be the first one to see my doll.
      Plus it's my mail, I'm supposed to open in ......unless its a bill.
      Then my mom can open it. But still my doll me first. ^_^;
       
    7. I totally agree... It is a special moment. very special
       
    8. I would dislike it immensely, mainly because I like that moment of YAY ITS MY DOLL! FINALLY! It wouldn't change how I felt towards the doll though, I'd probably just tell off the person who opened it :XD:
       
    9. I guess it would bother me if someone opened any of my packages and completely unpacked everything, especially if they threw packaging away, but that's more because I'm funny about packaging (I keep the tags on my plushies and everything)

      I honestly can't imagine anyone I know opening one of my packages though TBH :sweat

      My mother sends me a text if I get any post and I have to ask her if I want her to open anything

      Even if someone opened the outer box by accident (most likely reason) they would see it was doll stuff and lose intrest immediately before they opened anything further :lol: and that wouldn't bother me in the slightest
       
    10. I think I'd be more worried about the damage if the box was open. Not about the "excitement of opening it myself". Hell, I encourage my friends to open the box. I don't have to bend down with my bad knees and crack him open. The joy, for me, comes with living with him for the rest of my life. Sharing every moment and making him clothes and things. That's my joy.
       
    11. I would eh, probably be extremely upset. Unreasonably so, I think. I admit it. I don't like people opening my mail, ever, but most especially not packages or toys, and definitely not dolls. The only exception I can think of is my friend, who is also a BJD enthusiast, and she is ordering a doll for me, and thus will be opening it in order to make her clothes and whatnot. I have absolutely no problem with this. Maybe it's because I know she'll handle my doll with the same reverence that I would. But the average person? Noooo way.
       
    12. I would be LIVID. Full stop!
       
    13. I enjoy box openings so I would be a bit upset if someone opened my dollie stuff I don't think it would happen that let say someone in my family would open my stuff since my mother always text me att let me know before she does anything.
       
    14. I find it infuriating >///< I need to enjoy being the first person to see them! And the wrapping and everything i need to do it all myself or else it doesnt feel like he's really mine...
       
    15. i love watching box openings online. they arent the funest thing to watch, but they make me want my dolly to come.

      personally i would really be angry if someone opened my doll for me without me knowing. i mean only if i bought the doll then yeah i'd be angry...but if it was like a gift from them to me..and the took it out of the box to make sure it was safe..i would try to be a little understanding.
       
    16. I'd probably feel the same way I would if someone opened up my Christmas present or birthday present before me. Maybe even more upset because it would be more of an invasion of privacy because the package was something I bought myself for myself. Fortunately, my parents understand that so when my first doll arrives I shouldn't have a problem with that.
       
    17. I'm into swapping (swap-bot anyone ?) so packages hit my doorstep almost everyday. As of today and with over 200 packages addressed to me, no one has ever dared to open my mail without consulting first, my older brother often asks if he can open an envelope or box for me when he's around because he never gets mail and I let him :lol: other than that, and him, nobody else is interested in my mail so I don't think I'd run through those risks, however; if anyone would dare to open the big mean box that reads "Iplehouse" on the side while I'm not home I'm seriously going to kill them. My box, my mail, my doll - MINE !
       
    18. I would want to gut whoever it was like a fish.
       
    19. i don't really care about it:lol:
      but anyway , no one dare to open my package even promotional letter
       
    20. I think I'd be upset. This stems moreso from that I don't have my first doll yet and I would like to at least experience that myself. Depending on how the situation is, I may have a friend/partner open it if I won't be around, and need to check for damages and the like. But that's with permission. If not, then I might be vaguely annoyed and upset.
