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. @superXasian you have a great update information! Would also love to see your pictures of him too!

      I wanted to bumped this post up, in case anyone have an update on this handsome man’s shipping notice! It has been the longest wait for me and I am getting super excited!

    2. I'm excited too! He's been taking so long to ship.

    3. Y.Cen is having a family emergency so the shipping of the dolls from her to Moonlight is taking longer. Moonlight said they should start shipping at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

    6. Hello ! I recieved an email from Moonlight, asking to pay +270$ for shipping by EMS for Chong Lin, the insurance is for a 100$ package. I already paid 85$ in January. It seems very pricey...
      My last order with Ringdoll costed 144$ for 2 SD dolls in the same order !
      I'm a bit upset because I can't pay this huge extra amount :( The other option is China Air Mail, which is an +40$ extra but no insurance...

    7. I don't have a doll on order from this artist but I do have a doll ready to ship from a different Chinese artist. Last week they quoted me $175 for my doll in shipping, which I paid. However, today they said that EMS returned some packages to them because they did not calculate the shipping cost correctly. Apparently EMS now uses volumetric costing for their packages, which is way more expensive. This is apparently a very recent change. So I am waiting for an update from the artist, who is waiting on information from EMS as to whether they will have to revise the shipping charges. But that may explain the major cost increase for your shipping quote.

      On the other hand, someone in a Discord doll server I am in was apparently quoted $600 (!!!) from Moonlight for their Y.Cen's shipping via EMS.

    8. Yeah, shipping was really, really pricy. Higher than I was expecting. I wonder how big the box is going to be?

    9. I was quoted $470 for EMS personally, and I’m shocked. I have other packages coming in through EMS and the price hasn’t changed one bit from the norm. Granted, those are coming from Japan, not China, but I wouldn’t expect a huge difference? Moonlight said it might be lower after Christmas, so I decided to wait. They sent me another package through ChinaPost in July that still hasn’t arrived.

    10. I received the same message from Moonlight as well that the EMS shipping cost may reduce after Christmas. Mine EMS quoted was not far from yours @Natty. I am crying. I also have packages from other Asian countries that shipped via EMS, and the price is increased but not outside the norm. I have not decide what I will do yet, I asked Moonlight for more information and will wait for the response before I will make the final determination.

    11. Are Your dolls shipped from China or Canada? I thought they are shipped from Moonlight, Canada. What crazy shipping prices.:aeyepop:

    12. The dolls are shipping from China.

    13. Something doesn’t smell right here. If shipping from China is so expensive right now, why is Alice’s Collections running a free EMS/DHL promotion on large dolls? They ship from China too in many cases…

    14. @Natty - Alice collections uses a variety of express shipping carriers, not just EMS. Some companies can get a discount on shipping services from third party carriers. For example, at my job an express overnight UPS (1 pound weight) package sent to a nearby city costs $45.00~ but they have a discount that makes the total cost only $14.00~.

    15. I agree. I don't really see any other companies charging quite as much as Moonlight for EMS.

    16. Ahh that makes sense. Still, why aren’t we seeing these prices elsewhere? We can’t be the only ones on DOA with dolls ready to ship from China, but unless I’m missing something, I’m not seeing any mention of it in other threads.

    17. I reached out to Moonlight, and apparently Chong Lin’s packaging is so large that it triggered the volumetric rules @KittyFields was referring to. I’m a bit surprised but I guess that makes sense. Fingers crossed it goes down after Christmas!

    18. I got an E-Mail today that my boy is on his way.
      For the shipping price discussion: I went with China Post Group Air. (The medium option) for 125$
      The three options I got:
      1. Sea Mail (2-5 months) 75$
      2. China Post Air (3-7 weeks) 125$
      3. EMS (1-5 weeks, cover 100$) 195$

      I live in germany.
      Maybe that helps some of you. :3

    19. I got my boy today. I posted a box opening on my Instagram here.
      I am so impressed with the engineering of this boy. His knee joint is amazing. I received him in Coco and the color is so lovely.
