* What did you order? Angei Ai Uri * When did you order? December 14th; arrived today, May 18th. * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Directly from the company. * How was the communication? HORRIBLE. If they even replied at all, it was with generic message that didn't even address the issue. And each time they would say, "we will ship __", which they never did. Very bad. * How easy was it to pay? Easy. * How long did it take to ship? Forever. Once it was shipped it only took a couple days, but the waiting time before was ridiculous for a regular, not limited stock doll. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? NO. I am highly disappointed. The resin is terrible. The face espiecally -- I can't even do a face up yet because I'm going to have to sand the ENTIRE THING. Her face is like gritty paperclay almost; its all porous and bubbly and grainy. Her seams are rough and jagged, which need to also be sanded. There are resin clumps in her joints. Also, some how, her right leg is slightly longer than her left. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes, her sculpt does. But like I said, there are imperfections on her. * Were you satisfied with the product? No. It took forever to get here, and even if it WAS a sale item, the quality is ... really bad. * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? Im not going to even bother contacting the company about it, since alot of others who have contacted them about the same problems have not had any response or had their problems ignored. * Would you order from this company again? No. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Only if I knew it was produced before 2009, and only if it was something I really wanted. Otherwise, probably not.
* What did you order? Junior Ai Marco* When did you order? December 12th, 2008* Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Directly from the company* How was the communication? Average. As the wait went on fewer messages were voluntarily offered and two of my emails were ignored.* How easy was it to pay? Very easy.* How long did it take to ship? Five months and one week.* Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? I ordered during a 50% off sale, but even so I do not feel the quality was worth the price, all things considered.* Did the item look like the sales pictures? Overall, yes.* Were you satisfied with the product? Not completely. There are stains all over the doll, the seams are jagged and uneven, many extra resin blotches cover him as well as deep chips, the head cap will not stay on if you move him even slightly, and the right leg knee isn't simply kicky, it's misshapen and doesn't fit together at all. However, the face sculpt is adorable, and with a little work on my part (or a lot) he will be a great doll. So 2 out of 5.* If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? Nothing. I sent them a complaint about his general condition along with photos, but based on previous experience with them answering my messages, I doubt they'll even have a reply, let alone offer to help fix anything.* Would you order from this company again? Never.* Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Unlikely.
* What did you order? Vintage Ai Odree with face-up * When did you order? December 24th 2008, on the 50% off sale * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Direct from the company * How was the communication? I posted on the Q&A three times and each time received a reply within 24 hours, although the responses were largely generic. * How easy was it to pay? Easy, although their site does not directly link to paypal, you have to do the paypal transaction separately. * How long did it take to ship? 5 months and 2 weeks. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes, the doll is lovely. The resin is nice, she poses well and the face-up is beautifully done. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes * Were you satisfied with the product? Absolutely - she is adorable. * Would you order from this company again? Yes, I probably would. My only complaint is that the wait was so long but other than that I'm really happy. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Yes, if there was a sculpt I wanted.
* What did you order? two Junior ai, one petit and one little junior. all without faceup. * When did you order? December 30th 2008, on the 50% off sale * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Direct from the company * How was the communication? Took long to reply, kept repleing with quite stupid excuses and no clear answeres to questions. Often saying.. we will ask the manager * How easy was it to pay? Easy, paypal * How long did it take to ship? 5 months and 2 weeks. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? No, even if it was a 50% of sale. It wasn't worth it. The dolls are pretty yes, but they all have large pieces of resin i had to take off myself. Which i had to buy special goods for and spend hours on. The time vs costs ...i must say must be equal to the 50% i didn't pay. The one doll that didnt have these badly finished resin chuncks was yellowed and so i suspect they send a old doll they still had laying around somewhere. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? The Hani yes, the other dolls not. Because their faces had pieces of resin on places where they shouldn't be. * Were you satisfied with the product? Not at all, if it wasn't 50% sale i would have demanded a partial refund trough paypal. * Would you order from this company again? No and i would warn anyone who wants too, they offer you great service..that isn't there. Besides the 50% off isn't 50% off at all. The korean won is simply so low that the usd price is 50% higher then their original korean prices... so they make huge profit here for now extra costs on the english website. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Probably not from any of the 50% sale orders. Because they will have al sorts of defects that need to be cleaned up.

Yes * How long did it take to ship? 1 month, 3 weeks and 5 months, 1 week * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? No on the first Uri, she had excess resin chunks on her forehaed and hands, it was not even an event period, I paid full price and had to repair a brand new doll. Mostly yes on the Sunny, no defects, BUT she had very large seam lines during a non event period at full price. No on the Raffy, her elbows to not fit together propery (very noticable compared to the other 3 dolls), her arms will not stay in an unbent position. No idea how to fix this problem...

Aside from chunks or resin on Uri, yes. * Were you satisfied with the product? Fully satisfied with only 1 doll out of 4, not good. * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

Directly from the company * How was the communication? Good when there was no problem, then it became horrible as I asked for a refund (on their website, it states that you can ask for a refund if you wish, so that's what I did because of the long wait).

I bought my doll after the winter sale was over, not realizing that there had been a sale (I am very new to this).

Which wasn't so bad consider i ordered during the 50% sales period and they had several events after that.

There are a lot of seamlines but its understandable. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yep * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes, and they send me a pair of light purple glass eyes instead of acrylic, not too bad * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

Though I didn't get her until 2 weeks ago (my own fault, not theirs) * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? No. Even if it was a 50% off sale, I expected the good quality a doll should be. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes * Were you satisfied with the product? No. She came with jagged seam lines, and was strung so tight she did not stand. When I fixed that, I found out she still couldn't stand because both knee joints are unfinished and do not fit together, and one leg is longer than the other. Her arms refuse to unbend, and I cannot get them to stay straight, and she did not come with any eyes. * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? They haven't. * Would you order from this company again? Never, unless it was a 90% off sale! * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?

* What did you order? Junior Ai Yeondu * When did you order? 3rd August 2009 * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Direct * How was the communication?

Simple enough though it did take a while for the credit card to be processed * How long did it take to ship? Arrived October 26th so estimated 12 weeks * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

Yes - exactly as I had thought * Were you satisfied with the product? Overall yes - I can do the repairs myself * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

I ordered on Aug 9th during their 50% off sale * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? * How was the communication? The company answered all of my questions promptly, and though they said they would chose the bonus doll randomly, they did send me one of the three possibilities I requested. * How easy was it to pay? They do not link you directly with paypal, but it was still pretty easy to pay * How long did it take to ship? My order arrived on December 10th, so 4 months * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Absolutely. The seams were no more visible than my dolls from fairyland, the resin quality is heavy, toothy, and superb, the face sculpts are beautiful, and though some of the joints don't fit quite as perfectly as I would like, for the price, It doesn't bother me at all. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes * Were you satisfied with the product? Very much so * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? * Would you order from this company again?

The first time during the sales event to let them know I've paid - that took them a long time to respond. The second time when I inquire about the shipment was responded very nicely in a few days. * How easy was it to pay? Pretty easy * How long did it take to ship? Four months, but then of course that was because of all the events. When I asked about when my doll would be delivered, they gave me an estimate and it was spot on. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Very. She was half off and came in very good condition. Perhaps I got lucky and she was from a good batch, because I had none of the problems other people mentioned (prominent seams, uneven legs, etc.) * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes. * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A * Would you order from this company again? Probably. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? I never buy dolls second-handed.
* What did you order? Ange Ai Hani * When did you order? May 2008 (received Sept. 8th 2009) * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Direct from the company. * How was the communication? Almost non-existent, but we didn't really contact them much since it was the 2nd 50% off sale and we knew we would have to wait ages anyway. * How easy was it to pay? Very easy. * How long did it take to ship? 3 months and a week. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes, considering I paid 50% of the original price. She has bad seams all over and a lump of resin on her right thumb and in her right eye. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes, aside from the seams, etc. * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes. She needs a bit of TLC to clean her up, but I was speechless when she arrived. The faceup was beautiful too. * Would you order from this company again? Only if they get their act together. They have some beautiful dolls. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Absolutely.
* What did you order? Basic Ai Hyun (+ a second Hyun in the BOGO event). No faceups. * When did you order? September 5th * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? Directly from the company. * How was the communication? They responded quickly and were very polite, but did not always give accurate information. When I ordered initially, they told me one shipping date, then they told me another after that had passed, then another. * How easy was it to pay? Very easy as they accept Paypal. * How long did it take to ship? About 16 weeks. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? I got the dolls in a buy one get one sale, so definitely. My dolls were actually good quality... a lot of people have complained about casting defects and large seams, but my two dolls both have average seams and don't seem to have any flash or other resin debris clinging around the eyes or joints. There don't seem to be any bubbles or inclusions either... and the pieces are thick-walled and feel sturdy and good quality. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes. * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes. * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A * Would you order from this company again? I'm not sure. If they could get their production times under control, I would. I think that the dolls themselves are lovely. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Possibly if there was a sculpt that I wanted.
* What did you order? - Basic AI Hyun (plus the free Sia from the BOGO event). Both with face-ups. * When did you order? -I placed my order on Sept.9th, 2009 * Did you order directly from the company, or through a distributor or dealer? -Directly from the company. * How was the communication? -At first the communication was quick and good, but near the end I was getting copy+paste replies that didn't really hold much info or give a clear answer to my question. * How easy was it to pay? - Very easy - paid through paypal. * How long did it take to ship? -It took almost 4 months to the day from order to ship. * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? - The quality for price is very appropriate. These are my first dolls, and I was really impressed with the weigh of them and the smoothness and quality of the resin. They're both beautiful, and although they do have a few visible seams, it's not anything that can't be easily fixed. * Did the item look like the sales pictures? -In my honest opinion, the dolls looked even better then the pictures. The face-ups are very soft and lovely! * Were you satisfied with the product? -Yes, I am very satisfied with my dolls. * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A * Would you order from this company again? -I would consider buying from the company again during another event if they had something I wanted and if their wait times were reduced. I will admit the wait for these two was very long. * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? -Yes, I'd buy second hand.
