Looking into buying a doll from Asleep Eidolon, i only know this website BJD Doll Online Shop but when i went to the official website they only have listed dealers in Asia. Anyone knows which websites are dealers in the Americas? (and is the one I listed an official and trustful dealer?)
Dolk is an official dealer and has been around for quite a while but... they are also a little problematic, especially when it comes to shipping. They can take forever to ship preordered items and are prone to suddenly charging extra shipping fees. (They also ship from wherever the doll company they are representing is from, so for Asleep Eidolon, they will ship from China.) You can read more about people's experiences with Dolk here and here.
Jane's Doll carries Asleep Eidolon as does Legend Doll. I've never bought from Jane's, but I've bought clothing and a doll from Legend Doll. I agree with namika about avoiding Dolk. Jane's has an Instagram, and sells a lot of (off topic) blind box tinies - but it should be pretty easy to find feedback for her. So far, I've only seen positives for her. Jane's is in California, Legend Doll is in Asia. https://www.janesdolland.com/asleep-eidolon AsleepEidolon_BJD_BJD,Legenddoll,bjd,Ball jointed doll,BJD accessories
I've bought AE dolls through Legend Doll so would recommend them. They are also able to order limited AE dolls outside the ordering period as they have a special deal with AE Clover-Singing did take orders for them too and I did an order for an AE doll through them this year. But when I brought up the issue with the awful face-up, CS said they were going to stop ordering with AE due to the face-up issues. It seemed like i'm was not the only one who received a bad face-up so worth keeping in mind if you were thinking about getting the company face-up.
I have bought a few bjds from Jane's without issues, if you prefer a dealer in the US, she is safe to order from. However Legend always has a free shipping promo going on and Jane's mark up is higher than Legend's. So I recommend Legend when I have a choice to order the same doll from these two dealers. I've had great experiences with Legend too.
Thank you so much for your answers! This legend doll website seems excellent, I didn't know it before! I'm gonna browse some there So any dolls listed there I can buy and they will send? (No risk of the company that makes the doll later saying they don't make them anymore?) Free shipping is definitely great for me, and legend seems to have more dolls listed than Jane's, but i'm gonna be checking both! Thank you all again!
Occasionally I have been told that clothes or wigs I purchased were out of stock. But I have been able to get dolls who were not listed for sale anymore elsewhere Why not shoot Erica an email before you put in your order to make sure you can get the doll you want? She is very responsive and helpful. It's listed at the bottom of their page.
When buying from Legend Doll, I usually wait for Erica to send me a confirmation email before paying, just in case anything turns out to be out of stock. Also, I think she now charges a service fee for new customers? One of my recent orders had a service fee, so I asked her about it and she waived it for me as I'm a repeat customer.
I'm gonna message them! I'm almost buying my first BJD x_x i'm tending strongly towards Eetu but Asleep Eidolon are all so gorgeous!!! Can I just ask a different question here? Is there any dealers for iplehouse or we buy directly from them?
Jane's Dolland is really reliable and has good communication. if you're in the US, I'd recommend going through her.
