Doll Leaves Waiting Room v3

Yeah, I still have one payment left - but Jeremy will be home around the 20th or 30th this month! =D Special resin colours always take DL quite a bit longer I think

 

Alas, they do not. I'm in that order as well and have heard nothing. You never have to guess with them, you will know the day your order is in. Even on layaway orders.

 

I wonder what's taking so long.

 

@Psiiconic Nothing unusual. This is a hobby made of waiting. Two, three, four months is common protocol.

 

I am aware of this, yes, but it's just so hard to be patient lol

 

I feel the pain so much, but it'll be even better when they finally arrive!

 

My Oscar was finally home today! I hope you guys have yours turn up soon!

 

True Fact!
We also ordered during the Lulu event. Longer wait, but so very worth it.

 

Congrats! Do you have a box opening thread?

And here's to hoping everyone else's orders come in soon too. I knew I was in for a bit of a wait and I'm not annoyed with the company...I'm just starting to get antsy! Oh well, my birthday is in the beginning of June and it would be SO fantastic if they showed up in time for it!

 

Unfortunately not! I've only got a few photos of him. A heads up for you guys, the MSD's are on the slim size (I had some standard SD things for him and they are a little baggy! And he takes a 6-7 wig rather than the 7-8 one I had presumed like my other MSD ToT)

 

Hey everyone Idk if I technically qualify for coming in here but I just ordered one of the instock Soscia heads from the UK dealer Angelesque. I haven't found any owner photos of the poor girl anywhere so I thought I'd atleast give a heads up.

 

@Calabri That absolutely counts! Link to photos once she's in hand, please?

 

Will do! So far I haven't heard anything from Angelesque about her being shipped but as I am also UK she should be only a day once she ships~

 

Got my shipping notice! c:< I can't wait!!

 

I got mine as well! I'm so excited to see her in person

 

Yayy! > u <

 

Yay! Congrats to both of you I hope your new additions arrive home quickly and safe! Please share when they do!

 

Thank you! I will definitely share when she gets here!

 

Found out yesterday my Kira and Ida from DenverDoll shipped! Just gotta wait 1-3 business days now!

 

Thank you! I will be sure to share

 

She's here!

Has anyone who ordered from MoC heard anything yet? I'm getting a little worried because I'll be moving soon and I don't yet know my future address.

 

Okay just popping in here because I'm waiting (I avoiding the waiting rooms while waiting because it just reminds me that I'm waiting, say that 3x fast) Because gosh darnit Doll Leaves is having a head promotion. while I don't need a head it reminded me that I had a bit of buyers remorse after order--wishing I'd gotten a boy MSD as well. So just coming to whine I guess. I can't order more when my original order isn't even in yet. For the sake of the waiting room I'll share that I ordered from Alice's Collections 1/31/16 2 Dolls (Hedy and Gabriel) along with some accessories (clothes and a wig) to give me the free shipping. It was a rather nice deal. Free shipping, 2 dolls with faceups for $154.25 each. Alice told me 3/21/16 that the dolls would be ready in 15 days.. now I'm just trying not to bug her but I'm guessing its about time to bug her.. it's been about a month..

 

Ugh...2 more weeks (hopefully) for my two little ones, and up to 13 weeks for the minis. Oh boy, I'm starting to get antsy but I know they'll be worth it! I've only got one payment left on on my MoC layaway for the big order, so yay! That's exciting

 

I emailed MOC because I'll be moving soon. They said they haven't heard anything from Doll Leaves yet :/

 

Ugh, that stinks. Hopefully we'll get some news this week!!

 

And I have a tracking number from Alice's Collections! My Hedy and Gabriel are in route!

 

Yay! That's so exciting, congrats! I hope they get to you safely

 

Has anyone heard news from the MoC January 14 order yet?

 

Nothing so far. I emailed them a little over a month ago and was told they still had no updates and that there was still 17 weeks to go within our order timeframe. Since it's been a few weeks since then I think we have about 10-11 weeks left before we're allowed to cancel (if we choose).

 

Pinkie-swear; MoC will email everyone the day they hear anything. They really are amazing like that.

 

aaaaaa i guess im just anxious bc i was hoping to have him before my move ;u; luckily they talked to me and will make sure they confirm my address if i've moved before he arrives.

 

Oh, I hate moving with dolls in pending-limbo! It has only happened once to me, but I remember.
We are at about twice DL's normal production time now. With both a free-with-purchase event and New Year against our order batch, I feel like it should be soon.

 

Oh, is the Doll Leaves wait time not usually this long? Strange, then I'm sure it's because of the event/holiday that things are taking a bit longer.

I caved and emailed Alice again about my two little ones. On the 7th of last month she told me my order was set to be ready in 20 days. I assumed she meant 20 working days, so four weeks....I know I probably should have waited until next week so it was absolutely past the 20 day mark, but I couldn't help myself! She's such a sweetheart, I've tried not to bother her too much but I really hope my little guys are ready to be home soon

 

My dolls arrived today! Ordered 1/31/16. Arrived 5/5/16. They're gorgeous! I didn't have time to do more than open them and ohhhhh.... planning to fiddle with them tomorrow.

 

Congratulations!! That's so exciting! Please share photos, I'd love to see them!

 

I'll try to get some tomorrow in real light. We'll see how the work day goes (I work from home so can play when I'm not working, but Mondays can be busy!!!).

 

Hopefully either I get something from MoC tomorrow or not for another week, I haven't heard if my apartment application has been accepted yet. I'm just so worried that he'll get stuck because I change addresses.

 

Well today ended up being a manic Monday with rain, so you all get some hastily set up mobile phone pictures before I go to bed. Not sure Hedy is going to stay as she is. I'm trying to dig the pink but not sure I do lol

 

Thank you for sharing @wrenbe!! Personally speaking I love the pink, but I tend to love ALL things pink They're both lovely and I'm so taken with your Hedy! She's beautiful!

I admit, because it's been such a long wait I'm starting to freak myself out a little bit that I won't even like them anymore once they arrive. But your Hedy is so pretty it's definitely helped raise my hopes that I'll love my own darlings just as much once they finally get here!

 

I'm also starting to freak out @InkyBear!! I want him to come home :0

 

Right?? It's tough because everyone keeps telling me that waiting is normal in this hobby, and I'm like...I know, I've been collecting since 2007! But there's a big difference between a 2-3 month wait and 6+ month wait with no end in sight!

 

One of the reasons I picked Doll Leaves other than how perfect the Kira sculpt is is because everywhere I looked said the wait was generally one of the shorter ones. I had him on a long layaway hoping he'd be in the states before he was paid to MoC.

I'm sure when he does arrive I'll be so excited I forget to be upset lol

 

Agreed! When I started my 6 month layaway I did so with the assumption that they'd be ready to be shipped to me (or close to it) by the time I finished paying, which is just in time for my birthday in early June. But now, blah, maybe not so much

You're right though, I'm sure once our cuties arrive it will all be worth it! I'm especially excited as I ordered my Hedy and Pepper with their default face-ups and this is the first time I've ever ordered a doll with company face-up! Pepper's especially I'm sure will be beautiful

 

I already have potential clothes lined up and ready for my Kira, he has everything lined up-faceup artist, wig, even his son already exists!

 

Ooohhh! Lucky you, pepper wad one of my options! I love her faceup. But I looked at my current dolls and decided to get something different (the romantic eyes of Gabriel and the teeth of Hedy)

I like the pink but Hedy is calling out to me to try a more Pippy Longstocking look. I'm going to let her sit in the pink for a bit (have a lot of other projects to keep me busy including 3 faceless dolls, 2 heads, and one naked doll). She can always evolve.

 

True, that's definitely the beauty of these dolls is their ability to shift into completely different looks I'll keep an eye out for her in the discussion threads!

On the 5th I emailed Alice in regards to my two Connie's I'm waiting for. She said 10 more days and that she'd email me when they were ready I'm not going to bother her anymore about them, but last night I dreamed I got a shipping notice for them and I was sooooooo excited! Oh well, still hoping they'll arrive in time for my birthday early next month. To be honest, it's difficult not get kind of panic-y sometimes that something went wrong and they'll never show up!

 

So excited!!!!

I woke up this morning to an email from Alice letting me know my two little Connie's have shipped! YAY!! the DHL tracking number says they're still in China, but I'll be refreshing the page like crazy until they get here! I can't wait to see my tiny boys!

 

Congratulations!

 

Still haven't heard from Mint on Card. Today should have been the day they said something, but nothing happened.

 

Dangit, I really hope there's word about the MoC order soon!

But I definitely feel that I've been converted to ordering from Alice's (at least for non in-stock items) from now on My two little ones are in Hong Kong now, set to hopefully arrive by tomorrow evening! Poor guys, they don't have any clothing or wigs to their name, I might sew them up some little togas so they have something covering them.

 

TODAY I got an email informing me that Doll Leaves has shipped the January order to MOC! It should be a couple more weeks at the most!

 

Omg, really? That's so exciting!! We're all going to get our cuties soon! I'm so happy for everyone also in the January order

 

Oh hey! That's grand news. I need to name my Athena now.

 

I'm sorry for being obsessive about this guys but it's been ages since I've ordered a full doll (I usually order just heads or buy second hand) and I'm sooo excited! I've been checking my tracking number like crazy and my two little ones are only an hour away! I'm a little nervous though as I'm having them shipped to my mom's house (I don't yet trust the postal service in my town) and I don't know if they'll require a signature or not. They were shipped by DHL but from what I can tell that doesn't make a difference whether they do or not. I REALLY hope they are delivered by this afternoon so my husband can pick them up after work!

Edit: Looks like all International DHL packages require a signature I'm so irritated, it says online I can change it, but when I type in my tracking number it says it's not in the system...which is completely untrue as I've been watching it update since yesterday and it just updated less than 2 hours ago. I don't think anyone will be home to sign for it though.

 

Oh no! They are so close, too! Even if it's not until tomorrow, you'll get this sorted out. Your wait is almost over, just one step left.

 

They came! Oh my gosh, DHL delivers late! I was literally just about to leave my mom's house when the doorbell rang and there they were! I just recorded my very first box opening video and I am just SO excited, they are so cute! I'm a little boggled by just how WHITE the white resin is, I admit it sort of took me aback as I was expecting something a little less stark, but I'm hoping once he's all pulled together it won't be quite so intimidating. But the "wheat" resin is gorgeous! It's so beautiful with no streaks or sand marks and it's just perfect! I love them!

 

Hooray!!

 

Seconded!!! Yay!!!

 

Thank you both, I'm just so in love with them I do apologize for being so irritating about them, but now I can sit back and settle down as I wait for the January orders with everyone else
