      I emailed them from their website and received this response:

      Hello Ateliergigi,

      The shipping to USA via EMS will cost $615 rmb (95 usd). :-)

      Thank you.

      While the shipping cost may seem high to some, I do not think this is out of line at all. I have been paying in the $85 USD range from Korea for several larger SD/70cm size dolls lately. Don't forget, the USPS just hiked their rates again last week! This is a hunk of resin weighing almost 7lbs alone. Add to that the box and shipping materials and the weight could easily go to 8lbs.

    2. I agree.
      I know some Chinese companies have contract with 3rd party shipping agents which they will get discount from. This is why some companies can offer cheaper shipping than others.
      The only problem for this is, if anything happen to the doll on the way, China EMS will not reimburse at all, it will have to go through the 3rd party for claim. As far as I know, in many cases, those 3rd party will not pay back.

    3. Yikes! That's alot for shipping. That is the big factor for me to decide if I want the new guy or not. I am ok with USD40-60 range.

    4. Remember that the Soom ID dolls are also that much to ship. Granado said that part of the reason why their product prices were so reasonable was because of the shipping cost. Of course, they don't get that money, the shipping company does.

    6. Hi Cheryl,
      I would like to combine. However, I checked their website and they stated there that they don't combine due to the size of the doll.
