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. I would be extremely angry. I don't know what I would do but I think I would yell.. a lot!
       
    2. I definately would not be happy. The two times I've opened my box, I was so excited! I love the feeling of opening something new and working my way through the packaging to open it! If someone else opened my package, all of the fun and excitement would be gone..:( Moreover, I really do not like the idea of someone else touching/handling my doll without my permission. Even if it is close family or friends. Overall, I think it is rude of someone to open a package belonging to someone else unless told to. Especially if it is a doll!
       
    3. It would bother me, but it depends on the person opening it. My roommate also collects, and we tend to make orders together, so if she opened my doll I'd know it was with good reason. If someone else opened it, though, I'd probably give them a talkin' to.
      Like many in this thread, I have a hard time with people touching my things, like packages (or laundry, or things on shelves, or even my messes, etc) so I'd feel invaded if someone opened my doll. Plus, what if it wasn't a doll at all, but a gift for someone? or something super personal?
      Yeah, opening my packages is a no-no. Unless it was an order I made with my roommate... but she'd usually call me to tell me she'd be opening it, anyway.
       
    4. :evil:You would probably see me in handcuffs and on the local evening news because death would fall upon anyone opening my dolls without my permission. And that includes family!
       
    5. Sometimes me and my sister open each other boxes (if one of us isn't at home at the time we received the dolls) we both take lots of pictures (especially a doll coming from faceup), checking the doll and items, then put the doll back in the box :lol: like nothing had happeded hehe, so it's not a big deal for both of us but still it's fun opening a box first :)
       
    6. Oh yeah, I'd definitely be more than a little ticked off. I may still live with my folks but I'd like to think that they would have more respect for me and my privacy than to open anything addressed to me. I don't go around opening their mail.
       
    7. I realllyyyy hate when anyone looks through my mail even if its my family. I think that u seeing the doll first is what makes the bond with the doll. i have a dollzone illusion spirit xun and i was thinking of trading or selling him but i never can post the thread because he was my first bjd and when i first opened the package it was pure joy and excitement and everytime i think about selling him i look back at how long it took me to get him on layaway ^_^ even though he doesnt fit in with my collection i just cant seem to part with him
       
    8. *RAWR!!*

      That about sums it up.
       
    9. Honestly, this wouldn't bother me.. even if it was the doll itself. Box openings are neat and all, but having the doll home overall is what is ultimately the best.. doesn't matter how the box was opened(to me at least). The only annoyance I have with my mum opening my mail is that she will sometimes complain about what I'm spending my money on. Otherwise.. it's never a big deal and she usually waits till I open them myself (and hovers to see what it is).
       
    10. I would probably cry and not even feel like looking at my doll until I calmed down after a little while. I'd feel so robbed and hurt. I hope that never happens to me!
       
    11. My mum did this to me once with two tinies I'd ordered, at first I was really upset, but I realized it wasn't really a big deal. I prefer opening my own dolls, but unless it's someone I don't know, no biggie.
       
    12. I love opening ANY box. But with dolls I'd have a total spaz. I'm talking about crying and arguing, I'm not proud of it but I know for a fact that that's how I'd react. Luckily I don't have to worry, I live with my parents and my brother and they all know the state I'd get into if they opened it. Plus they know I'm just childish when it comes to opening boxes xD
       
    13. At times i tink it wouldn't bother me so much. But when i tink about it, if it really did happen to me, I would be really hacked off. I mean BJDs are such a personal part of those who order it. Most have waited forever for it. So my answer is,.... yes. I would be crazy if someone opened it without my knowing. seriously hacked off... grr.
       
    14. I don't think I'd mind very much, though I'm interested to see so many people declaring it's completely terrible and unacceptable. Really, you're just getting something out of a box. I don't find it that big a deal. Mind you, none of my dolls ever come to me "complete". They're all bodies without heads and vice versa, and faceupless (or with the wrong faceup), and require a lot of work - modding, painting, general customizing - before they're themselves. So for me opening the box is actually just opening a box, and while it's quite exciting, I'm much more interested in the work that comes later. I think I'd be more weirded out by the principle. Who, without being asked to, opens someone else's post? That's very odd behaviour and I'd feel that way regardless of whether it was a doll or not. But if someone opened up my doll's box because for some reason I wasn't able to, I'd not mind about the lack of it.
       
    15. I HAVE A BIG issue with that i will kill any ome who opens my dolls
       
    16. I would be pissed! No one is allowed to open MY dolls without MY permission, that is all.
       
    17. It really depends on who opened it. I'm not big on the box opening part so my only concern is customs opening it. They won't know how to handle the dolls and I'm afraid they would take it out, go "hey look at this big dollie doll!" and start swinging it around and damaging it and touching its face with hands that's been touching dirty packages all day.
       
    18. I would be upset if I arrived home to find my doll open, especially because I look forward to being the first to look at my doll. Luckily, no one in my family has opened anyone else's mail, and I think they'd be too nervous to open a doll anyway.

      However, if I knew that I couldn't stop by to open the package within a few days of arrival I would probably ask my family to open it up to check for damage since there is generally a limited window for reporting broken parts.
       
    19. I think I'd be a little upset, but I wouldn't be too angry. I really enjoy opening packages I get in the mail, even though I know what's in them, so I prefer to be the one to open packages that are mine. If I gave permission, I obviously wouldn't be upset about it, and, really, there are only two people that could ever possibly open a package of mine: my mom and my boyfriend. That being said, if someone ended up with a package of mine somehow, I would be pretty angry if they opened it, completely ignoring the fact that it wasn't theirs.
       
    20. This xP


      I would be pretty angry because I love opening boxes, it's my package in the first place, and it's one of the best parts of getting a doll!

      And, I find it awkward if the doll comes naked and someone were to see.
