      As I remember, IH sent my doll really fast. About 2 weeks.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Quality was terrible. It’s really unfair, but I paid big money for doll witch isn’t perfect. My first Kamau had LIGHTER parts, air bubbles, folds on legs and arms. IH changed my Kamau, I must waited long time for second doll in perfect condition. Unfortunately, my second Kamau isn’t perfect too. Every faults are the same, he have MORE lighter parts than earlier. There is only one different - Kamau haven’t air bubbles. And this time, IH tell me that they doesn’t see problem. I’m really angry. How is it possible? If earlier they can see these faults, why they doesn’t see this time?
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      A little yes. Of course on the pictures I didn’t see that lighter parts, air bubbles and many folds! Argh!

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      NO! I can’t be satisfied with bad product!

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      Yeah, once. I wrote to IH many, many times, but they must be stupid or they doesn’t care.
      * Would you order from this company again?
      I don’t think so. I even don’t look at their website, I’m STILL angry.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Maybe yes. Company is unfair, so I think I’ll never buy from company.

    15. (I hope it's okay to give feedback on group orders!)


      * What did you order?
      I ran a DoA-based group order for a resin head (mine), plus doll clothing, shoes and accessories.

      * When did you order?
      During their 2009 Christmas event. Placed order on 17 Dec.

      * How was the communication?
      Very prompt! I posted numerous times on their Q&A and they would reply the next (business) day.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Straightforward and easy, they sent a confirmation email with instructions. Iple also let me combine two orders into one shipment.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      3 weeks - shipped on 10 Jan, arrived 15 Jan. They may have shipped earlier if I had enquired earlier. :sweat

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      I had a chance to look at all the items in the GO; just by eyeballing without taking anything out of packaging, I'd say that they are well worth the discounted price we paid.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, but one item that was labelled as "leather" actually wasn't even fake leather but another material entirely.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Apart from small disappointment in the "leather" item (not worth complaining to Iple about), everyone in the GO (including me) seemed to be satisfied with their items.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      On my part, my resin head was actually completely out of stock, though I could order it, so Iple refunded my money. A little disappointed but Iple had a legit reason for that happening.

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Definitely! Iple has top-class doll clothing and great customer service too!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Definitely.
       
    16. Iplehouse
      * What did you order? A wig and some eyelashes

      * When did you order? January 30th

      * How was the communication? No problems - the confirmation and shipping notice were prompt.

      * How easy was it to pay? PayPal, so very simple

      * How long did it take to ship? Only two days, and I ordered on a weekend.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? The prices of the goods were fine, having to pay EMS shipping on top wasn't so great.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? The colour of the wig wasn't quite as bright, but it's still a nice colour.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A

    17. Iplehouse* What did you order? - EID Luo basic, NS Super Hero with no face-up
      * When did you order? - January 13th
      * How was the communication? - Iple was very accommodating and helpful, I asked a LOT of questions both before and after ordering. I always got a clear and concise answer within 24 hours of asking.
      * How easy was it to pay? - It was actually a very difficult transaction. My mother was trying to purchase the doll for me. I used her credit card, the site made it incredibly hard to use it, and then once we ordered it was immediately canceled with no reason given. Because of a refused international transaction, my mom's credit card got frozen. After that struggle, we paid with PayPal, but it took a very long time for the money to charge, and even longer for my order verification to come.
      * How long did it take to ship? - He shipped after 17 days, and arrived in four. My wait was 21 days altogether.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? - Mostly, but he has one seam line that is very rough, and will definitely need to be sanded before I blush him. It is are uncomfortable to the touch and catches on his clothes a bit.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? - He looks even better! Iple's pictures are mostly beautiful, but I really feel that they do not do Luo justice.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? - Yes, definitely.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? - N/A
      * Would you order from this company again? - If I ever have the money, yes
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? - Definitely!

      - Somewhere this month Feb 2010

      * How was the communication?
      - when ordering, they didn't get my message in order form and paypal but i QA them as fast as possible...so, the problem is solved.
      - when complaining in QA, ah, as other sellers do, they didn't really take the matter as serious as i thought. Still defend their products while it's actually terrible. hmmm...

      * How easy was it to pay?
      - easy with paypal

      * How long did it take to ship?
      - I used registered. They usually wait for a week or so to take the whole 'batch' to post office. This is no problem with me

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      No.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Not in term of quality....not really-really as expected. Have you seen bald wig?
      Wish can submit pic here. Not as thick as i thought...other wig? one part of hair(s) just pop up somehow like when you just wake up from sleeping...

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      No

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      I don't think they would refund. They still stand behind their products after I critizied them. I gave them the pics afterwards but no respond from them...

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Wig? I don't think so. Will think about it more than twice next time.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      After this wig? absolutely NOT

    23. What did you order?
      YID & EID Woman 8-9inch wig (Sienna)

      When did you order?
      Friday, 2nd April 2010

      How was the communication?
      Really no communication necessary. I ordered through their website which was the most painless and easy site to order through. Although I never got my confirmation email, I was still able to track my order from the webpage so there really wasn't any issue there. I knew where my order was at through the whole process.

      How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy. I paid via Paypal straight from the site.

      How long did it take to ship?

      I received it today (Wednesday, 7th April 2010.) It is by the far the fastest shipping yet from overseas. I've never had a package arrive so darn fast.

      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes, I would say so.

      Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, it certainly did.

      Were you satisfied with the product?
      Very much so.

      If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A

      Would you order from this company again?
      Yes, I most certainly would. For my first time ordering from this company, I was impressed by the ease of both ordering and paying for the item and the immensely fast shipping.

      Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      If it was still in good condition, I would.
       
    24. * What did you order?
      Iplehouse EID Luo, normal skin with the Superhero body and the type B faceup.

      * When did you order?
      February 25th.

      * How was the communication?
      Communication was good! I got confirmation e-mails for ordering and a shipping notice, and they answered my Q&A question within a week even though I found the answer out by myself, haha.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      For some reason I could not figure out how to pay them via Paypal and had to come here to see what their Paypal email was... though I just ordered from them again now and it was incredibly easy to send money (they basically walk you through it), so I think I just might've been too flustered at the time to figure it out!

      * How long did it take to ship?
      He shipped out March 17th, and arrived March 19th. I was incredibly impressed with not only how soon they made him and painted him, but with how soon he came to my house!! Awesome shipping!

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Definitely - he's one beast of a doll. His sculpt is absolutely gorgeous and his resin is nice, toothy and heavy! He's a little weird to pose, but with how buff he is that's something to expect.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      The faceup was a little more dark in the lips than the picture shown on the website and he's a little more smiley (the line in between his lips looks a tad more extended than in the photos), but that's no biggie - merely just difference between painters/other Luos. Other than that, he looked even better!

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Absolutely satisfied - at the time of posting he's the most expensive thing I've ever bought, but I don't regret a penny! Even the icky shipping cost was worth it to get him so fast!

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      n/a

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Definitely - I just did before I posted this!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Absolutely - getting a doll this good for less than company price would be a bargain too good to resist~
       
    25. Iplehouse

      * What did you order?

      JID RS Special Edition Amy with makeup B option, 1 wig, 1 pair socks, 3 pair shoes, all for her.

      * When did you order?

      February 18, 2010

      * How was the communication?

      None was necessary. I ordered through their website which was painless and easy. Although I never received a confirmation email, I was still able to track my order from the web page, so there really wasn't any issue there. I knew where my order was through the entire process.

      * How easy was it to pay?

      Very; I just used PayPal.

      * How long did it take to ship?

      Just under a month; I received Amy on March 12th.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      Absolutely. I love Iplehouse dolls. They are amazing. And I have always had good luck with the company's clothes and wigs.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      Yes, definitely.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?

      Yes; the doll is wonderful, and the socks and shoes are top quality. The wig is nice too, just a tad big, so it comes down over her ears a bit much, but looks fine. I like to put a hat on Amy when she wears it so it is more secure.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

      N/A

      * Would you order from this company again?

      Most definitely; this is my 2nd Iplehouse doll and I want another!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?

      Probably not unless I knew the seller personally. I just don't buy that much second-hand.
       
    26. Iplehouse

      * What did you order?
      Tania Trapeze with mobility type joint and face-up, outfit, shoes, wig and two pairs of eyes.

      * When did you order?
      March 13th, 2010, but I added items on April 16th

      * How was the communication?
      Excellent. They answered all my questions very clearly and nicely, and I had to ask a lot...

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Easy, I used Paypal.

      How long did it take to ship?
      I received it on April 30th, so it took just a bit more than a month. Very fast when we consider that I added items.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Totally. It's amazing.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes, she is gorgeous and so are the clothes, the wigs and the eyes. She was my first doll, and I am totally happy with her.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      n/a

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Oh yes. Definitely.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      I don't think so, but just because I don't like to buy second-hand.
       
    27. COMPANY NAME: Iplehouse

      * What did you order? Noctarcana Circus: Tedros The Circus Master

      * When did you order? First day of the preorder period in January 2010

      * How was the communication? Excellent. When I wanted to add the default outfit to my order, Iplehouse had me redo the order and just moved my layaway payment into it.

      * How easy was it to pay? Very easy. When I sent in layaway payments I always asked them if they got it and they always reply back.

      * How long did it take to ship? When the payments were done it did take about 3 weeks to get a shipping conformation. But when it was in transit it took about 4 or 5 days.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Definatly. Tedros is very well made along with his clothes and shoes. I doubted his face up at first because I saw a sort of overbite look in the company photos. When he arrived there was no sign of it.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? On the dot, but again without the overbite look in the mouth.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Overly satisfied

      * Would you order from this company again? YES!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? I would if the price were good and the seller has 100% good feedback.:)

      * How easy was it to pay? Paypal payment was quick and easy

      * How long did it take to ship? 58 days in total

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes, Jessica is more lovely in person and her normal skin has a lovely translucent quality to it. Also the clothing and shoes were well made and fitted well.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Everything was exactly like the sales promo pics.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes definitely!

      * Would you order from this company again? Yes I already have.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Yes I had already bought Akando (normal skin, superhero) and some Akando clothing and shoes from the DOA marketplace before ordering Jessica.
       
    29. * What did you order? Real Skin EID Asa with face up and wig

      * When did you order? I ordered Asa on March 12 and did layaway. She was paid off March 26 and arrived May 14.

      *How was the communication? Any time I posted on the Q&A board they responded quickly.

      * How easy was it to pay? Very easy with their instructions and paypal.

      * How long did it take to ship? 2 months total. March 12 to May 12.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes. After I ordered Asa they released my other favorite sculpt on the new SID body and I was considering selling Asa when she got here. BUT when she arrived I was completely speechless. She is gorgeous and the sculpt is amazing.

      *Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes even better in person.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes of course!

      * Would you order from this company again? I already have.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? I have done that. Both of my JID girls arrived secondhand.

      * How easy was it to pay? Very easy - paid through paypal

      * How long did it take to ship? I paid him off April 5th and got shipping confirmation about a month later, EMS delivered him several days earlier than the guaranteed delivery date

    34. * What did you order?

      YID Mars

      * When did you order?

      April 12, 2010

      * How was the communication?

      I didn't really need to communicate with them until after he arrived, they replied to their doll hospital board in a few days. So far as speed goes I don't have any complaints.

      They do not however send shipping notices anymore, and I did not like that so much. This isn't such a big deal when you know about it, however (I did not at first).

      * How easy was it to pay?

      Easy enough, I paid through their shopping cart with credit card

      * How long did it take to ship?

      I received the doll on June 7th, as I received no shipping notice via email I can't tell you when exactly it sent out. But EMS generally takes 3-4 days from Korea, based on past experience.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      No.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      Yes and no. I bought the doll blank, so it wouldn't look like the painted sales picture, obviously. I say no because of the obvious problems with the head. It was not finished to a smooth surface and had several scratches and chips around the ears and at the back of the head, though thankfully no cracks or other severe structural damage.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?

      Not at all.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

      They didn't. They basically advised me to sand the head's surface smooth myself and suggested the the scratches could be covered by a wig, and since they could be covered by a wig it was not their responsibility to do anything. You can read the actual response at at this URL, if you would like to make your own interpretation.

      * Would you order from this company again?

      Unfortunately I have to say no. Although I have ordered from Iplehouse in the past with no problems, this experience with their customer service does not inspire confidence in the company, so far as I am concerned. I have lost my trust that they will deliver a quality product.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?

      Yes, I would consider doing so. And I would even accept similar defects to what I encountered in a second hand product. The issue with this transaction is that I paid for a brand new doll, not a doll with damages, however small.
       
    35. * What did you order?
      1. Akando, 4 wigs, 3 sets of clothing
      2. EID suit, black boots, 3 wigs
      * When did you order?
      1. Dec 17, 2009
      2. May 15, 2010
      * How was the communication?
      Good, they answered within a day or two when I inquired about the status of my December order after about 3 weeks.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy through Paypal

      * How long did it take to ship?
      1. about 26 days (Jan 12), so just a little over 3 weeks (though I didn't get an email notification that it had shipped, it was a most welcome surprise)
      2. the May order was shipped 2 days after I placed the order
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes. Akando was quite hefty, and the wigs and clothing were well-made (the only thing though was that one of the sleeves of the shirt took a bit of struggle to pull up the doll's hand, but otherwise, all was good).

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Not quite on Akando, but that's understandable as the way one paints one doll can be quite different when painting another of the same sculpt. But all the other ones were as pictured.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes, very. He was the first doll that made me want to collect BJDs, so yeah, had to have.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A

      * Would you order from this company again?
      Already did and definitely will again.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Depends on the state of the item in question.
       
    36. * What did you order?

      NS Asa with face up, a pink sweater and a long black wig.

      * When did you order?

      Mid-May.

      * How was the communication?

      There were no confirmation emails but I was able to check the status of my order on the website.

      * How easy was it to pay?

      Fairly easy; used Paypal but there was no invoice.

      * How long did it take to ship?

      About a month, which was shorter than their stated time of 30-40 business days for a doll.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      The resin quality is nice, and I appreciate how they designed the pieces so that the seams would be on the back of the doll where they'd be harder to notice. The elbow and knee joints are engineered strangely so that bending them further than 90 degrees takes a little finagling and looks funny, though. Also, the pieces meant to hide the wrist joints pop out when the wrists are bent too far. Overall though, I feel like I got my money's worth. The E.I.D. woman body (with medium bust) has very natural proportions. I also appreciate the inclusion of high-heeled feet, which are necessary for a lot of shoes in her size.

      The wig looks and feels nice but sheds; the sweater is delicately knit and very nice.

      EDIT: After one week, the resin hook in her right foot snapped under normal conditions. I did not contact Iple about this because I gathered from other threads that Iple expects the customer to pay for a replacement set of feet, which I find unreasonable.


      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      No, because I ordered makeup A and they sent me makeup B.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?

      No; I dislike makeup B, which is why I didn't order it.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

      They told me to send the head back by regular airmail so they could redo the makeup. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

      EDIT: One week after I shipped the head back, I still had not heard anything from Iple so I enquired whether the head had arrived safely. They told me that it had, and that they had completed the makeup and sent it back. This was a lie, because I still do not have the head back. Additionally, whereas they originally told me they would reimburse me for shipping, they only gave me store credit, which is not equivalent to cash.

      * Would you order from this company again?

      No, I would not.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?

      N/A; I don't buy second hand.
       
    37. What did you order?
      8-9 inch YID/EID Wig (Charcoal)

      When did you order?
      19th June 2010

      How was the communication?

      Ordered through their website so didn't really need to communicate with them.

      How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy. Used paypal as always.

      How long did it take to ship?
      Received it today, 25th June 2010 - so roughly 5 working days after ordering (I ordered on a Saturday). Again super fast service. I didn't receive any shipping notification or order confirmation but I could track it on the site so there wasn't an issue.

      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Definitely. The wig is very soft to the touch and is of high quality.

      Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes it did.

      Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes, I certainly am.

      If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A

      Would you order from this company again?
      Yes if I need another wig. This is my second order from Iplehouse.

      Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      If it was a wig, maybe. It depends on seller's feedback.
       
    38. * What did you order?
      A NS Asa.

      * When did you order?
      May 13th, but sent my final payment on May 20th.

      * How was the communication?
      Communication was good through their Q&A board. To note, they are similar to NDoll in that you have to get your shipping status directly from the website. You will also find your tracking number under your order status.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Easy, with PP.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      It shipped 17 business days from my last payment--lightning fast (22 days from when I ordered)! She made it to Canada in a little over a day, then was processed through Canada customs and Canada Post for a few days. So, shipping was about five days.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Fantastic quality. However, she arrived with a cracked knee, so I am working on this matter with Iplehouse right now. I am hoping that this will be worked out smoothly. EDIT: They sent me a replacement at the end of July, but they did not tell me they sent it out, nor did they send me a tracking number. On top of that, they sent me the WRONG leg. So now I still have a broken leg! They said they would send out another one and I made sure to re-iterate several times which leg was broken and circled it in a photo. It has now been nearly two months since they sent her with a broken leg. 21 business days after the wrong part was received, they sent me her new leg. Thankfully, this is all resolved now.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes! :) Her face is beautiful, but her leg has damage.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Aside from the knee damage, yes I am.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      They have yet to resolve it. EDIT: They sent me a replacement at the end of July, but they did not tell me they sent it out, nor did they send me a tracking number.

      * Would you order from this company again?
      I am hesitant until they really work on their quality control.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yes.
       
    39. COMPANY NAME Iplehouse

      * What did you order? SD size doll: YID NS Basic Iris, and the stock wig she was being shown with.

      * When did you order? April 16, 2010 at 1am :)

      * How was the communication? Amazing! I was asking questions before I even ordered and they always answered and were very nice and polite, and at one point I even messed up my comments password and wasn't able to go in to see their reply, and they re-posted it for me. Their customer service is amazing in my opinion.

      * How easy was it to pay? As easy as entering the email address, putting in the amount of the order including shipping, and clicking "pay now". I did send them a note with the order number, letting them know I paid in full by Paypal, to make sure they received it, and they replied saying they did :)

      * How long did it take to ship? I ordered during the time that they were REALLY busy, so it took 48 days (34 business days) and on the site they say it should take 30 to 40 business days, so the were well within the time frame they advertise. My doll went "on shipping" June 3rd, and I had her in my hands by June 8th, only becasue the mailman didn't bother to even try to deliver her when he had her on Monday, so I had to go to the post office on Tuesday morning to rescue her :D

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? DEFINITELY yes.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Exactly as in the pictures.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Very satisfied!

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A

      * Would you order from this company again? I am already making my list of the other dolls and products I want to get from them!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? I would rather get my products new, straight from the company when possible, but if there is something from Iplehouse that I want and they are out OR I get a good deal buying it second hand, I definitely would.
       
    40. What did you order?
      Special Edition Ashanti, med bust, blank with pierced ears.
      When did you order?
      Sent in the order March 10.
      How was the communication?
      Didn't need it, but my payment was confirmed quickly and I got all status updates via the site.
      How easy was it to pay?
      I did a layaway and it was pretty straightforward.
      How long did it take to ship?
      I finished payment on May 27; she was shipped on June 25 and delivered on June 28.
      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Very nice! There's a few weird spots on her, and some seam lines are very noticeable, but I chalk that up to resin that dark being hard to cast so I can live with it.
      Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      I think the tan is a little "cooler" in color than in the sales pictures, but a nice color nonetheless!
      Were you satisfied with the product?
      Very satisfied! Iplehouse pierced her ears like I requested and she came without any breaks or major scratches.
      Would you order from this company again?
      This was my 5th Iplehouse order and third doll order from them, so definitely yes!
      Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yes.
       
    41. What did you order? Special Edition Light Brown Kamau with Superhero body and Strong man arms. Jeans, Army tank top and hat and a pair of boxers.

      How long did it take to ship? He was shipped 24th of June, got caught in customs and still made it home on the 30th, so 6 days.

      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Oh yes! Totally. Ok so he was a little expensive for me, but totally worth it. The qaulity is amazing, his colour is perfectly uniform all over and most of his seamlines aren't noticable the ones that are aren't very bad at all. He's pretty much perfect, they did an amazing job on him.

      Did the item look like the sales pictures? He's lighter than I thought he'd be, but he's the perfect colour for what I wanted, so it worked out better that he's the colour he is. And he still looks like the sales pics when I take a photo of him, so it's fine.

      Were you satisfied with the product? Oh yes! Couldn't be happier, he's absolutely perfect.

      If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A

      Would you order from this company again? If I had the money and they bring out Real Skin Kamau and Akando again then heck yes! Even if they don't and I have the money then I so would.

      * How was the communication?
      Awesome. They answered all my questions quickly and were very kind.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      I'm guessing it was easy. I'm guessing because my dad was the one who paid. xD

      * How long did it take to ship?
      EMS said that her guaranteed delivery date was on the 9th but instead she arrived today, August 5 (Which I am very happy about :D). So 44 days, 32 business days. Which was well between the 30-40 business days like Iplehouse said.

    47. COMPANY NAME: Iplehouse

      * What did you order? Noctarcana Circus: Tedros The Circus Master

      * When did you order? March 6, 2010, 3 month layaway

      * How was the communication? Excellent. I asked for extra clothing to be added and also extra blushing. All added with no extra shipping.

      * How easy was it to pay? Very easy - paid through paypal

      * How long did it take to ship? I paid him off June 6th and got shipping confirmation about a month later, EMS delivered him several days earlier than the guaranteed delivery date. Outer shipping carton had a big hole/dent in it, but nothing inside was damage. The outfits were in very nice boxes, so they weren't at all crushed. Foam protection for doll seemed to work well.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes. Fantastic. Very well made doll, faceup, wig, clothing, etc.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Exactly

      * Were you satisfied with the product? YES.

      * Would you order from this company again? YES!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Yes. But I do like the flexibility of ordering faceup/blushing, mobility joint, etc., just as I want, directly from the company.
       
    48. * What did you order? - LE LT Kamau with model body/face-up/body blushing/default wig and outfit.

      * When did you order? - April 2010

      * How easy was it to pay? - Very simple, I used paypal and the layaway option.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? - Absolutely, the quality is exquisite.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? - Certainly did, what you see on the picture is what you will receive.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? - Completely satisifed, I wasn't sure if I would be, because I had craved the doll for a long time (and built him up in my mind) and I thought the promo shots might be making him look better than he is, but he is utterly gorgeous and well made. There are no flaws at all and he was packaged very securely to avoid damage during shipping.

      * Would you order from this company again? - I am already planning to do so many times over.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? - I already have and they retain their beauty and quality even when they have been handled a lot by less than careful owners.
       
    49. * What did you order?

      YID Freezia + Faceup + Wig

      * When did you order?

      27th August

      * How was the communication?

      I didn't really need to communicate with them. However, they did email me just before they shipped to let me know the wig color I wanted was out of stock, and whether I wanted to change it to something else or take a refund. I replied to them and simply told them to change it to another color of my choice, which they did.

      * How easy was it to pay?

      Pretty easy, using Paypal

      * How long did it take to ship?

      It shipped on 24th Sept... and I received her on 27th Sept. It would have probably shipped on the 17th, but they were waiting for me to reply to their email about the wig.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      There's no damage on her that I can see. Her resin is a little rough in spots, but that comes with being brand new and will smooth out with a little more play and handling. YIDs are some of the more reasonably priced SDs out there, and well worth the money.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      Dare I say it, she looks lovelier in person

      * Were you satisfied with the product?

      Completely satisfied

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?

      N/A

      * Would you order from this company again?

      Certainly. I'm already planning to buy some clothes from them... and I'm trying to talk myself out of getting a Luna. I'm also waiting patiently to see what Tinies they're going to come out with as I'm contemplating a 1/6 girl.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?

      If the quality was still good, the price was right, and the seller trustworthy, then yes, definitely.
       
    50. * What did you order?
      SID Cherie + Faceup + Shoes

      * When did you order?
      12th August

      * How was the communication?
      Good, I contacted via Q&A board and got answer in 1-2 days.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      easy, Paypal

      * How long did it take to ship?
      shipped on 27th Sept so I wait for 29 working days. I got her on 30 th Sept. (actually, 29th but she stuck at customs)

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Kind of, her resin is rough on some place and smooth on other place. Her seam is rarely visible no rough seam line and some part don't have seam at all. I amazed by enginering, her joint is not much visible and hide smartly. She is more expensive than most basic 60 cm. girl but I think she worths every cent I paid.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Beautiful than I think she would be.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      They are a few things I unsatisfied, I dislike some parts of her face up. Face up artist done amazing job with her eyebrows and eyelashes but her lip is looks so amateur and a brush on her right cheek has little three spots that brush did not cover. Other than that I really satisfied.

      I can stand with her face up but other things that I really unsatisfies is Iple forget to mark price as I ask even they state clearly on FAQ that customers has right to ask them to mark price as request so I got hit alot by customs fee. (I paid more than 3 times I normally paid for customs fee.)

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      They answer they had package missing by post office recently so basically they mark price $100~250 for dolls. That OK for me and I can understand them.

      I sent her head back and Iplehouse redone her face-up for me.


      * Would you order from this company again?
      Yes, I will just ask them to mark price as $100 and remind them from time after time so they don't forget it.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Depend on price, quality and seller.

       
    51. * What did you order?
      I had two orders. First was a Dreaming Silvia with wigs, clothes and eyelashes.
      The second order was a Silvia with clothes and accessories.

      * When did you order?
      Both I put on layaway. The first order was ordered on Feb 3rd, and paid off by March 17.
      The second order was ordered on June 23, and paid off August 2nd.


      * How was the communication?

      Good, they updated my order details each time they received a payment from me, and with the first order emailed me when some eyelashes I ordered were out of stock to organise a refund.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      Easy with paypal.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      The first order didn't ship till around April 27, but the second order shipped the day I paid it off.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes, definitely.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      The dolls came as pictured, with no flaws.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Very much so.


      * Would you order from this company again?
      Yes, I'm planning on ordering some more of their shoes soon.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yes
       
    52. * What did you order?
      Iplehouse Ryan Special Edition (UV Protect)

      * When did you order?
      September 14

      * How was the communication?
      Okay, I guess. I posted my question on the Q & A board on 15 Oct and they got back to me 3 days later.

      * How easy was it to pay?
      I paid via Paypal, so it was super easy.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      It took 35 days to get everything done and ship out, which is fast! The shipping was the best part. My boy was shipped on 19 Oct and arrived on 21 Oct. Thumbs up for fast shipping!

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Definitely. I'm very happy with the quality.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      He looked better than the pictures. :D

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      I'm quite happy with him ;) But one of the magnets in his headcap actually fell out. I think the glue didn't stick right... But it's alright, it's just a small problem.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      I solved the problem myself. :P but I will let them know, so that hopefully they'll take note of that detail next time

      * Would you order from this company again?
      YES!

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Sure, why not?
       
    53. * What did you order?
      Tokyo Story Asa Fullset
      EID Lingerie
      Milk brown 8-9" wig
      * When did you order?
      August 2010
      * How was the communication?
      Non-existent. lol I never got a confirmation email or anything until shipment. I did use their Q&A board which was kind of confusing for me. I would get sidetracked and I never checked their response to my questions. I sort of just gave up. :)
      * How easy was it to pay?
      To be technical, it was very easy but not as easy as Soom or some other places I've ordered from. You have to keep track of how much you want to pay and the dates yourself. You will never get an invoice or reminder from Iplehouse. On your order info in your account at their website, they will make a note of how much you paid and what date you paid it. You simply send money through paypal to either of their 2 paypal email accounts.
      * How long did it take to ship?
      After final payment it took about a week or so to prepare my order, after I got shipping notice it only took about 4 days through EMS and USPS post.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Errr... To be honest, no. Perhaps I'm spoiled because I've been used to Soom dolls. Soom goes all out with details and includes a pillow/storage bag with their dolls. When I got Asa I was surprised by the difference in quality despite the prices being really similar. Also body blushing was a disappointment. The only thing blushed were her nails and chest. Not really worth the price I paid in my opinion.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes and no, it was similar, but not quite so refined and delicate looking as in the promo pictures. Her face is also slightly asymetrical which I didn't really see in the promo pictures.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes as satisfied as I could be. I think I may have had too high an expectation.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      N/A
      * Would you order from this company again?
      Probably if they had a sculpt I liked. I would definitely rethink limited dolls and consider price very carefully.
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Yes probably.
       
    54. What did you order?
      Tokyo Story Asa fullset, EID lingerie set, a pair of high heel shoes and a pair of extra hands.

      When did you order?
      August 11th 2010

      How was the communication?
      Non-existent. I would've hoped for and was expecting a shipping notice of some sort, but I got nothing.

      How easy was it to pay?
      Very easy via PayPal.

      How long did it take to ship?
      I was pleasantly surprised when they shipped my order some couple weeks before I was expecting them to. Overall I only had to wait for a month and a half, and my girl arrived from the customs at October 6th. :)

      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes, the doll is stunning and the clothes are high quality products.

      Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, and even better if I dare say so myself. :aheartbea

      Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes. Although I must mention that there's a strange bump in one of the doll's thumbs, and one of her arm where the wrist and arm parts meet, but I assume those are easily fixed with some sanding when I'll redo her manicure at some point.
      Also I had to fix one of her high heeled feet myself because the S-hook wouldn't fit through the hole. Overall nothing to worry about, especially since they surprised me with lovely little gift items. :aheartbea

      If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
      I'm fairly certain I can fix the minor imperfections myself, so no need to ask them to do it for me.

      Would you order from this company again?
      Most definitely, their dolls are so beautiful and human-like, and the clothes and accessories are of solid quality. :aheartbea

      Would you buy this company's products second-hand?
      Maybe, if I ever come across something that's limited which the company doesn't sell anymore. Otherwise, probably no.

      * When did you order?
      04.10.2010

      * How was the communication?
      I only asked them for my tracking number after they changed the order status from "on shipping" to "shipping completed", since the tracking was deleted from the info then. They were very polite and nice!

      Very easy, the site directed me straight to Paypal and everything was done already, I only had to do a couple of clicks.

      * How long did it take to ship?
      It was shipped on 08.11.2010, so 36 days, only a bit over a month.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes, very! I was afraid the tan skin wouldn't be as pretty as I hoped for, but it truly is!

      * Would you order from this company again?

    56. * What did you order? Special Edition "I" NS bent hands for my other doll + couple outfits.

      * When did you order? Beginning of September

      * How was the communication? Very good.

      * How easy was it to pay? Easy as always.

      * How long did it take to ship? They shipped my order the next day after I payed off my layaway. About 4 days it took to get to where I am.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? The doll was darker then it was shown, I thought they made an error and sent me light brown instead, but I heard others having dark RS dolls. Once I use MSC on her face up, maybe it will lighten up or blush her to make her light. Outfits look the same, but I was surprise the love me skirt has a sheen look to the fabric. Otherwise the outfits are cute, and the doll is nice considering it didn't look like the images. As they say, don't let the images fool you.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes! The doll was gorgeous, only few major rough seams, but that is in areas that are not seen. Outfits are good quality, and I really adore the Tora hoodie.

      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A

      * Would you order from this company again? I sold my soul to Iplehouse, so yes I will be ordering another doll next year. Plus I need pair of hands, upgraded feet for my other Iple doll, and outfits.

      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Dolls not really, but discontinued clothing yes if its in good condition.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Very much so! She is gorgeous, and solid, and that unique EID body shape is stuning! The shoes fit like a dream and are extremely well made and functional (working buckles), and the lingerie and clothing are of superb quality, too. The doll stand is solid, and versatile enough to be used by different size dolls, and it holds them very securely.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Absolutely.

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Extremely satisfied. I have another Iplehouse doll, but this was my first time ordering clothing, shoes and other items from them, and I am truly impressed. I had a little bit of a hard time getting the hooks into the high heel feet, but I just used a drill bit to slightly widen the opening, and pliers to put the hooks in place and it worked like a charm :)

    59. Iplehouse
      * What did you order? SID NC Eva fullset
      * When did you order? 10-1-2010
      * How was the communication? Not too bad, considering the time difference. If I left them a message during the day, I'd have an answer by the next morning :)
      * How easy was it to pay? Paypal, nuff said.
      * How long did it take to ship? about 17 days after my final payment. I had her in my posession by 11/22
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? The quality is by far the best I've ever seen on a doll (aside from Soom). No comment on the price because being at the top of the doll market, they can price their dolls however they want.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Her resin is darker than the pictures let on.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? I love the doll- the quality is by far the best I've ever seen (even better than Volks) and the faceup is GORGEOUS, but the resin may end up being too dark for the character that I had in mind :( Also- the stringing on her legs is uneven which makes it impossible for her to stand.
      * If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A
      * Would you order from this company again? Are you kidding? I plan on buying at LEAST three more dolls from them ;)
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Yes, if it the doll is well maintained.
       
    60. * What did you order? SID NS Storm and some clothes + a wig
      * When did you order? 9 October and he shipped on 29 November when I paid off my layby (early!). He arrived at my door on 7 December.
      * How was the communication? great on the Q+A board!
      * How easy was it to pay? pfft, easy as. I paid with Paypal.
      * How long did it take to ship? I had to do a layby, but was completely impressed that he shipped the *same day* that I paid off my layby.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Almost completely. There are a few little issues with the sculpt that concern me that I would not have expected from the price I paid. The notable one to me is the area on his upper arm that joints with the moveable elbow piece. The thin 'tabs' that cup the elbow piece seem to be warped and flare outwards on his right arm only. I don't know if this is something that all of the dolls have, or just mine. It could be because he was also incredibly tightly strung, which I remedied later that day. Also, the elastic he was strung with was thinner than I expected. However, those *are* very minor things to me and it does not affect my overall happiness at having this beautiful doll. Oh, and I was quite surprised at how low they valued him on the customs form ($80!!).
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yep, though his resin is more yellow than it looked on the Iple site.
      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes indeed!
      * Would you order from this company again? Lol, have already placed and rec'd two other clothes orders since then and would love to buy another two dolls in the future (and piles of clothes, shoes, and wigs, I'm sure).
      * Would you buy this company's products second-hand? Yes.
