Shopping I'm buying my first BJD ever!

Dec 25, 2022

    1. Hi everyone!
      After putting off buying a doll for years, I've finally decided to gift myself a doll for Christmas.
      I want to take advantage of all the Christmas discounts Alice's Collections is hosting so I'll order my doll from there, along with some clothes.
      I want to order 1/4 Delia from MYOU Doll with her company face-up because she's beautiful. The thing is, I'm incredibly nervous because it's my first time buying a BJD and it's a lot of money, not to mention I'm terrified of the shipping going wrong.
      I live in Mexico so I haven't heard about any experiences from people close to me.
      So, to people that have bought dolls from Alice's Collections, how was the experience? Any precautions I should take as a complete newbie?
      Thank you so much for your help!

    2. First, take the guide as a welcome gift:
      /threads/the-big-bjd-faq-guide-for-newcomers.850259/

      Now to your questions: Alice's Collection is a reputable dealer and overall nice to work with. She's also willing to answer questions and help you out wherever she can. There should be no issues ordering from her (a friend bought through her from Myou recently as well, was smooth sailing).

    3. Congrats! I would 100% recommend Alice's. Their service is fast, friendly, and really good at keeping you up to date. :)

    4. I purchased my last BJD in more than a decade, less than a year ago (also as kind of a Christmas gift to myself) from Alice Collections, also a Myou but mine was a mature tiny. Everything went well, as it has been mentioned they are a reputable dealer. My doll arrived without any damage, and I am a cheapskate when it comes to s/h so I got the free Airmail shipping to the USA. I got the wrong pair of eyes, however, but that was solved without issues since it wasn't my fault -- it was just a human mistake, as it could be expected. They are very friendly and quick to respond. Good luck with your new doll, hope everything goes well for you! (:

    5. I'm not in Mexico, but the last doll I received was bought form Alice's and I have a current layaway there as well because the first experience went so well! They're very friendly and communicative and the shipping to me was VERY fast! It look a few days for me to get my doll once he left their warehouse.
      If you're buying by layaway, you will need to set up a reminder for your payments, since they don't send monthly invoices for each payment due, but if you're buying outright, this wouldn't be something to worry about.
