Wait Times Doll Market - waited for a dollzone outfit for 2 months??

Apr 29, 2011

    1. I ordered the raphael fullset outfit from doll market at the beginning of March.

      When I ordered they had a problem with my credit card so after a million emails that was sorted out.

      I realized about a month later that I never got any sort of official confirmation email on my order other than the "ok your credit card went through this time"

      So I called them to check on my order. They said that yes my order was confirmed and my order with dollzone was placed the day I paid, but that they don't know when it's coming in.

      It's now two months any they still don't know, and that I should hurry up and wait because they're shipments from dollzone are "few and far between" but that they've gotten a few recently and my shipment wasn't in it.

      It's just bothering me that it's just an outfit and it's taking this long...
      I realize they do batch orders with dolls, but something just doesn't feel right >_<

      I'm not comfortable at all with this transaction, the staff has been extremely off putting and seemingly absent minded (from my phone conversations with them as they try and look up my order), and now I'm worrying myself to death.


      has anyone ordered an outfit before? even if it's through another dealer? how long was your wait? I was flipping through the company feedback and A) doll market doesn't seem to have a thread, and B) doesn't seem that many people order outfits that aren't in stock ^^; but if you have, please let me know how your transaction went!
       
    2. Why don't you check your order status with Dollzone?
      I mean, I understand you placed your order with Doll Market, but I am sure you can email Dollzone and tell them you ordered your outfits with doll market but it has been two months and you are still waiting for it. They may know what's taking so long.

      My guess is, when a dealer place orders with manufactures, manufactures ship those orders by "time of receive"
      So if your order was in Doll Market's order batch number 3, Dollzone will most likely wait until they complete order number 3 and ship all in one shipment. Manufactures will not combine anything from order #3 to order #2 or #1. I guess this way, it is more clear and easier for both manufactures and dealers to maintain their records.
       
    3. *nod* I can check with dollzone, wasn't sure if they'd know or not since it's just a random outfit order, but I'll try :)

      and I wasn't really sure if they do batch ordering or not, that was my impression till they told me they ordered my outfit the same day I placed it, so now I'm not so sure? unless I just some how timed it perfectly.

      Thanks <3


      ETA: I also just dug through my email and realized that I sent Doll Market an email 2 weeks ago asking about my order and they told me they would find out and get back to me soon. Of course I never heard back. *shakes head* They're building themselves an invitation for a nasty-gram from me.
       
    4. Well, I once order an bjd body from a dealer.
      After knowing another person who ordered hers after me and received her doll within a timely manner, I started to wonder what happened to my order.
      I did ask the dealer about my order status, all they said was "we are still waiting for our manufacture to ship our orders. Your order may be in the next batch or so.. "
      and obviously, they did not know anything. So I went to the manufacture's website, gave them the dealer's name and my order and asked them to check my order. In fact, the manufacture did eventually gave me a reason of delay... "My body has been complete for weeks. But they were waiting for other parts of that order to be complete before they can sent the whole batch to the dealer....."
      So nada. I really don't think Doll Market will ask Dollzone to ship only your outfits, even they placed your order the same day you placed yours with them, to me, to save in international shipping, it is more likely your outfits will ship with other orders they placed with DZ.
       
    5. o_0 I'm confused. I'm not saying I expect them to ship just my order.
      They order in batches is what they told me, and they placed the full order the day I ordered my outfit.
      but for two months and not knowing anything? on top of not confirming my order with me and not responding to emails? That irks me.

      They emailed me back very quickly after I sent them a short stern email that I wanted to know what was going on, and that they were quickly losing my buisness.
      Now they're telling me they'll have it in the next 3 weeks. Hmm... guess they do know the status after all.
       
    6. DollZone has a million dealers in the United States. All the major dealers do business with DZ. For your next purchase, you could browse through the company review section of DoA and find one with a lot of reviews and a lot of good feedback, who also happen to carry DZ. But like lucyhayashi said, it's not unusual. But the communication definition has room to improve.
       
    7. ^^; I know.
      I ordered my doll through junkyspot, and a wig through DDE XD
      I just tried to give doll market a chance because they are a local business. They've also been pretty good in person at their store in Greensboro, NC. They try to sell me stuff that I don't want, but I think that's pretty normal for store with a small client list. I've gone shopping at their physical store many times and never had a problem aside from them giving me broken merchandise, but they took it back the second I pointed it out.
      They have no feedback thread here on DoA, so after I do finally get my outfit, I plan to start their thread, unfortunately with a relatively poor rating for their carelessness :/
