thanks Carla xxx

 

Ooo a new thread! |Anyway, thank you for the comments!

Here is a little hardly edited photo of my new Ruki. She is simply stunning!


Lami on the other hand, i'm not so sure of....I am going to change her eyes and see how she looks.
If i'm still not keen I might try and find someone who is willing to trade their Byurl for her.

 

MAWI your RUKI is beautiful!!! I am super excited to meet mine now, she's got green eyes too apparently is on her way to my mom's as we speak, I've got to wait until Saturday night to meet her though.

Oh and do give your Lami a chance, I never thought I'd like the Lami face mold but I LOVE my little girl now that I've given her amber eyes!!

Oh and the girl who is sending my Ruki compared her to her other dolls and said she didn't see any body difference but the colouring of the resin was different, not as dark as a typical normal skin but a little darker than the white skin.

 

Mawi: Ruki is gorgeous. I love her cheeks Congrats.
I can't believe we started another thread How cool.

 

oh Mawi your girl is simply gorgeous
where is her lovely wig from if you don't mind me asking ?
hugs Carla xx

 

Mawi, your little Ruki is soooo lovely, very serene looking. Is her wig a Monique Gold Jojo? Suits her very well.

My Kuroo and her little sister Belle are stuck in Customs in Madrid.....Customs Retention-Reason:Other, according to the tracking. I hope that the customs people aren't paying too much attention to the big box.....big boxes always seem to catch their eye But hopefully they'll be here by the end of the week, all being well!!!

 

ohohohoh I can't remember but there was somebody here that I promised to mail when I would sell my lati yellow buyrl but I don't know who it was...anyway she is on the marketplace and I already have some mails...so if I don't here from the person that asked me...I will sell to the first person that gave a reaction...seems most fair???

 

Mawi, your ruki is sooo cute!
How are these yellow bodies? are they different from the last batch? and how different are these?
Candy wants a new body, so we have to ask questions!

 

Thank you everyone She's perfect!! At least one of the two was how I imagined

Carlabenham: Her wig is from monique Jojo to be exact!

Dambuster01: It is indeed, and thank you so much

Printenna: The bodies, as far as I can see, are no different at all. I compared the body to my Lati cat version Coco's body, and I can't see anything. I can take a comparison picture when the weather is a little nicer! It's so dark in the house today!

 

Mawi - Your Ruki is stunning! Such a cute little smile . Her wig is really beautiful and fits her perfectly.

 

Congrats on all the new arrivals everyone! Ruki is adorable...
I guess they will get around to sending the australian orders some time...

About the new bodies, I may be wrong, but I thought it was the SP's who were getting new bodies????

 

Mawi- Ruki's beautiful. I got a dolls who seemed so odd-looking to me, I wondered why I had ever ordered her. It took me at least two weeks and spending some time with her, and then it hit me and now I can't figure out how I could have not liked her.

Maddy- I thought it was the Renewals, but I don't remember why I thought that. I guess that would explain the lack of difference.

 

I've just been away for a couple of days, come back expecting to see positive progress on the delivery of Kuroo, but she's been released with custom charges Why?? Lati mark down, and I requested they did, but obviously customs are getting wise to it. I think this might be my last outside the EU purchase as I just can't afford customs as well as these dolls Also I stand to make a loss on her as I think I'll be selling her straightaway

 

I'm SOOO Sorry to hear you have to dish out customs fees!! I HATE that when it happens too, it never seems to follow a pattern either. Grumble grumble. My last lati that came directly to me got slapped with excessive duty and taxes and she was loved by 3 previous mommys, so I was grouchy.

Crossing my fingers that your fee isn't too high, just tax on what they valued her at.

PM me if you decide to rehome her too.

 

yay, another thread! WHEN will the new ones be released? I check all the time to no avail

 

twinklelights, I think Lati usually gets everything shipped out before they open for orders again... but this time things are running late, so I'm not sure, but I would bet they'd open sometime in September to give them time before their holiday sale period. You never know with Lati.

kayjay, I'm so sorry to hear you got stung for customs charges... that's awful, Latis are so expensive to begin with...

Sharon, I hope your girls are with you sooooon!!!

Mawi, your Ruki is really beautiful... I love her soft expression and those eyes! Lami will be very different when you change out her eyes... and possibly try a wig change, too. I've had dolls I thought I would sell, found the right wig and eye mix and they became instant favorites.

 

When I asked they said Sept or Oct. So late Sept at the earliest but I'm thinking it might not be until Oct because it seems shipping on some dolls have been pushed to mid-late Sept

 

Mawi - your Ruki is super cute!!!

I sent Lati a message yesterday asking when my order will be shipped (about a month ago they told me end of August or beginning of September) and got really sad news - my order has been delayed to middle of September or maybe even later! Aaaaaaaaah! I think I'm going to cry!! I want my little ones to come home already!!!

 

OH, I was just talking to winternight about this, and how we hadn't heard anything: I got my first shipping notice just like minutes ago. My first Normal skin Lea has a tracking number. YAHOOOOOOO. My White skin girl should be right behind her?????
Wow, I just checked and it's giving me a Guaranteed Delivery Date of Sept 9th. That's weird, never saw an actual delivery date before. Must go and worn my postal lady now

 

I've just paid my Kuroo's ransom and was pleasantly surprised to be charged *only* £19 so Lati must have not marked at full price. She's out for delivery tomorrow and now I've seen a pic of another Kuroo on flickr I'm quite excited to see her http://www.flickr.com/photos/weebsie/3874933143/in/pool-1160228@N21

Might sell one of my Lati Green girls instead depending on how I feel when she's here

 

Mawi, Ruki is gorgeous, and I think your Lami is divine too. I hope you can love her!

Meguone, Congratulations! Exciting news! I hope you get a shipping notice for Lea-2 soon!
(btw, I met someone named Pearl today, and I had to stop myself from saying "I know a doll named Pearl" !! )

No shipping notice for me yet, which seems strange, I ordered Miel the minute ordering opened, just a basic, nude, no wig or anything extra. I am trying to be patient, but really...

 

kayjay, we must have posted at the same time! I hope you receive your Kuroo tomorrow! I have seen that photo on flickr too, and she looks so divine, I think you might have to keep her

 

Kayjay- the 19 sounded better before I converted it to USD. Ouch. The term ransom made me grin. Very apt.

This is probably OT and more on the shipping topic, but I was just curious what those fees usually are and what's the highest people have paid? Not that I'm considering packing up and moving to the UK, just the idle curiosity.

Sorry about the delays. Is it still just the unicorns or is it other orders now?

Meguone (and anyone I might have missed), congratulations on your shipping notice. I'm anxious to see your new additions to the paradise of Reddiker Woodes.

 

I have only had to pay ransom on one of my lati's that came from the US, I'm in Canada. I had to dish out 45$ CDN, so about the same amount. The sender had listed her as being a used doll worth about 250$. FUN! But then I've had other dolls with the value clearly marked from all over Europe and Australia sent up and nothing.... but then once I had to pay duty on a used toaster oven that was even full of crumbs, so I really think it depends on the mood of the broker that day.

I'm sooo excited to hear so many more people's Lati's are coming home soon!! I have to wait until Saturday to meet my girls!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

Susan, I saw that Tinybear paid around £60 for one of hers and I know Mimisstuff got caught badly for her PocketFairy, and it'll be much more than that if the doll is, say, $800, can you imagine It really puts me off this hobby as I would love to buy from DDE on layway, but everything from there gets stopped in customs.

 

My Kuroo has just arrived along with her little sister Belle! They managed to get through customs without having to pay anything. I've been soooooo lucky, (I shouldn't say this in case I'm tempting fate!) in the 5 and a half years we've lived here I've only once got caught for customs (and I am very naughty and buy a lot of stuff) and on that occasion it was an SD from DDE marked at the full price. I managed to actually talk my way out of paying anything on that one too though!

Anyway, back to Kuroo, she is very sweet, but has the saddest face. I think she is remarkably like Lea but as I don't have a Lea I can't be entirely sure. Her body looks to be exactly the same as my Miel who I've had since 2007, so I'm not sure what the difference is, if any. Unless it is that the hands and feet are now attached by 'S' hooks instead of the string that my Miel has?

Well she is very sweet, I'm not sure that I'm like "Oh wow" squealing over her, but I'm sure she'll grow on me!!!

Photos later!

 

susan, i am not sure if anyone replied to your query... or if i am right even: The European Union protects trade within the EU, but charges customs fees/ duties for goods from outside the EU. It can be hit and miss from what I hear!

Australia isnt too bad, lots of Free Trade Agreements and they dont usually sting customs charges for goods under $1,000!

 

Oh my gosh Ruki is stunning!!!!!!!

 

susanp919: Thank you. I thought I'd have the second notice this morning, but nothing yet. That's okay though. OH that's funny. I've done that also, hearing a certain name on the doll threads then meeting someone with the same name.

susan402: Thank you. So excited now. I hope that they could get here the same time, but we'll see what the rest of the day brings.

dambuster01: Oh congrats, and you got the at the same time Kuroo really reminds me of Lea also. That little sad face.

Yes, to everyone else that got shipping notices, yahoooooooo We'll get them all soon, I can just feel it. Then this thread is going to have so many great new pictuers,

 

Kayjay at least your customs charge wasn`t too excesive ... I hope I will be as lucky !
I just received 3 prs of eyeco eyes total value of $37 , because the packet was marked "Other" instead of "gift" or "commercial samples" I was stung an extra £11.34 for the honour !!!

I have been lucky with my purchases for my, (soon to arrive I hope), lysp cookie ( no shipping notice yet ... boohoo ) so far

The cutoms here in the UK charge 15% VAT on items sent from non EU countries with a value over £18 and 15% VAT on items marked as a "gift" for items with a value over £36. Then the royal mail slap a handling charge of at least £8 on top for kindly passing the package to customs for you .. so kind ... NOT . I don`t mind paying the VAT but object to the handling fee and the length of time they hold up the parcels.... they eyes took 5weeks to arrive . Good job cookie isn`t here yet, the poor dear would have been blind for ages if I didn`t like the lati ones

So, that sounds like a rant but its not really, but hopefully now all lucky non EU people will understand if UK persons ask for a parcel to be marked as a gift with a value less than £36 If I ever ask this I usually ask for an upgraded postal service to priority with tracking and pay the vendor a little more for this and the inconvenience, I`d rather they had the money LOL.

Think I need to move to Australia :O)


I love all the pics from you lucky girls who`s babies have arrived home safely , I need to be patient a little longer, I just wish my cookie would stop sending me telepathic messages for more shoes and more clothes

 

I'm still waiting for my shipping notice too, and I also ordered as soon as the ordering period opened I'm waiting for Kuroo and Miel - perhaps there is a delay on Miels? I also ordered a basic outfit, and I was wondering if that was what was holding up my parcel?? grrrr.....the waiting is so hard!!!!

 

Here are a couple of photos that I just took of Kuroo, she is growing on me, I think she is going to be staying!!! I haven't changed her eyes yet, these are the default ones which may stay in for a while until I can decide what she would look good in. Hope you like her:

​

 

Sharon, she is really sweet!!! Mine is out for delivery tomorrow, hope she's as sweet as yours

 

Oh my goodness! I'm brand new to the community, but have been (stalkerishly) following everyone's posts since I order my first Lati. (Lumi) Hopefully I'll post a few photos once I feel a little more secure in my photographing abilities.

It's absolutely wonderful getting to finally comment.

Dambuster, Kuroo is beautiful. I love those green eyes.

 

dambuster01: SHE'S JUST ADORABLE her little face

moonbeam: My two girls had the premium makeup, and outfits, so still not sure why one is up and the other isn't????? Ordered both the same day within about 10 minutes of each other. I was surprised to see an actual "delivery date" that was cool. I still don't have their Gray Gradens home done, (I wanted to put little rice lights up, and just haven't had the time to install them), aAAAGGHHH

 

dambuster01 - your kuroo is lovely! i love the second photo!

 

I'm sure she will be kayjay, thanks for the compliments!

Thanks MoonYen, they are the default ones! I look forward to seeing your photos too!

Thanks meguone, she is really growing on me now, bless her little sad face!!!

I don't know how Lati ship, it is very confusing, isn't it! But it will be nice to get one of them home at least!!

Thanks so much Lazysunbather, that is my favourite place to take photos as the sunlight filters through the lemon tree nicely....only problem is, there are ants walking up and down the tree and I can't stand ants!!!

 

Gaaah i'm so sorry everyone is getting custom fees! Our Latis escaped them as Lati marked them down. I was so shocked!! Then got charged £11.74 for four pairs of acrylic eyes today through customs >_< Value at $41. Drives me insane!!

I am so thankful to everyone's comments about Ruki!! She really is a dream She's very hard to photograph though. I think it's her complexion.

 

Oh my, she is adorable! Love the wig you choose for her. My Ruki is on her way home, she should be here on the Saturday the 5th. Whooppeee.

 

Awww, she is darling, is that her default wig? Her chair is so cute and goes well with her outfit. My Ruki is arriving on Saturday the 5th. This is the first time if noticed they have posted a delivery date with the shipping notice. Congrats on your new little one.

 

Aww, Kuroo! She's really adorable.

 

awww Sharon your Kuuro is so cute. More pics pretty please?

 

Moonbeam, I was thinking perhaps there was a delay on Miels too. I don't think I have heard of anyone receiving one from this order period yet.

dambuster01, your Kuroo is lovely, I am starting to really love her sad-ish face. Is she sad? I can't really decide.

Moonyen, welcome! I look forward to seeing your Lumi! I love Lumi!

 

I just checked my email and got my second notice for the White skin Lea She's suppose to come the same day as my Normal Skin, aaaggghh, SO HAPPY

 

Awww, although he's not new, he's cute.....here's some Miel spam:

 

mayhallk: Oh, look at those little teeth Love him.

 

Has anyone ordered Byurl? I haven't seen any new owner pictures of her yet either!

 

Mawi Congrats! She's lovely!

 

Dambuster01, you new little one is adorable.
Mawi- super cute picture.

Thanks for all the answers about UK customs fees. The things I mail over there have been so light that I wasn't required to put declarations on them and never had a problem. But now they're required on everything, so I wanted to be sure I was doing things right by you guys.

I feel like my boys are right around the corner now!

 

I feel so terrible for those of you who are getting snagged for customs fees. They should make a mandatory rule that dollies never get tagged with any extra fees EVER, we already pay enough for these little things.

Still no word on my ws Miel. To those of you thinking it's first ordered first served... it's really not with Lati. They ship out as they are ready, it doesn't necessarily matter when you've ordered, really.

Congrats to everyone getting new Latis!!!
meguone, YIPPEEE the twins are on there way!!! I'm so happy for you!
Sharon, your Kuroo is adorable! She looks like a little girl with her chin quivering and she's ready to break into tears. Makes me want to hug her!
mayhallk, I am in love with your vamp boy. I think I've said that already but it bears repeating.

 

Out of my £19.90 customs fees, the only VAT charged was £6.50, as Lati had marked at $50 and ticked gift - the rest was the Parcelforce charge

 

Here is my Kuroo More pics will be on my flickr soon. The beautiful smocked dresses are made by Susan402 on here, they are stunning (thankyou Susan!!). My thoughts on Kuroo, she's very sweet, not as miserable looking as Lea in my opinion, but her faceup is very pink, there is no way she could be a boy!! Slightly heavy handed for my taste but looks a lot better once her wig and clothes were on, in fact Florrie (Lea) looks quite pale in comparison!!



And to show her with Lea (and Belle)

 

I ordered her but she's not on shipping yet
I'll post some pics when she arrives

 

This is sooo weird because my box which contained two dolls, was marked at $35 !!! I wonder why it is just sooo random.

Parcel Force are a bunch of robbers.

 

Very pretty photos Kathryn and beautiful dresses Susan....so is she a keeper? Or on her way out?

 

Not sure, she is really pretty but I'm wondering if two are better than one? I wonder if I'd be better off keeping Florrie and rehoming Kuroo to enable me to buy another, different, sculpt. Let's say the box isn't up the loft yet

 

I'm so annoyed right now! My Lea and Lumi Sp. have been on 'preparing for shipping' forever so I asked Lati if I could change one of my girls to a 16cm body and they said no, it's too late although they said they could still put in the eyes I wanted! I don't really understand why since bodies are only classed as 'parts' which they must have in stock most of the time...

I really wanted a little tiny cutiepie
