Unresolved Paging mmsedated

accidental_subjects ~ Could you please leave more details regarding the date/transaction/money exchanged?

 

Thank you. This member has not been on the board since 26MAR08. She is in the "Being Paged" group, please keep this thread updated as to resolution....and you might consider filing a claim?

 

I'd also like to add to this.

On February 15 I received an invoice of 250 SGD for an AA boy body; on the 16th I paid in full and received my receipt. I was told that the dolls would be shipped out the following week, as they already had my splitter's choice in stock.

On the 19th of February she e-mailed me and said that it turned out that particular doll had just been sold and was therefore out of stock. She claimed that the new shipment of dolls would arrive that week, and that the dealer would ship him the day that she received the order. And I was perfectly fine with that- these things happen, right?

So I waited a few weeks before PMing her about the status and whether or not the doll had been shipped; if so, when? She replied stating that there was a problem with the S-hooks and they were currently awaiting a new shipment from AA on the S-hooks. Now it's around mid-march.

It was around this time that I accidently stumbled upon the SGCafe post (http://sgcafe.com/showthread.php?p=3603138)- and thank goodness I did! It had much more information and updates. As it turned out, the S-hooks had already arrived around mid-march; now the dealer was waiting on the official AA boxes!

On the SGCafe board, it turns out that she decided to have the dolls shipped without the official boxes; I don't know if this is the same for international buyers. Also, she had them shipped through the regular carrier system- not the EMS that she had so clearly labeled in the first post of her threads.

I PMed her a few days ago and am now waiting on/hoping for a reply. The rest is about the same to what accidental_subjects said. The SGCafe members are supposedly going to have a meetup next Friday to receive their dolls, so I'm assuming that they will finally be arriving sometime next week or so. We'll just have to wait and see if there will be another delay or not, I suppose.

 

I'm also waiting for a response from mmsedated .

Dec.27, 2007-I paid a $113US deposit to preorder one of the new molds (to be decided in the future).

February 2008-Several molds have been posted at this time, so I ask mmsedated if all of the new molds have been revealed yet-she says no.

March 15, 2008-Still no new molds have been revealed since February, so I decide to go ahead and place my order.

March 16, 2008-Mmsedated replies, and quotes me prices higher than were previously agreed upon-she then agrees to honour the old price after some discussion.

I then formally place my order, asking her to get back to me with the correct total.

March 26, 2008-I'm sure I messaged her again, but I can't find the message archived anywhere, so she might not have gotten that one . In that message I asked her to confirm the total for me, just as I did in my message on the 16th.

April 5, 2008-I message mmsedated asking for a refund, as she never confirmed my order after many attempts on my part.

Due to this experience, I am no longer interested in ordering the doll-I just want a refund .

 

I believe Abio Angels are made by DivinityDoll.

 

Divinity doll is just a dealer-I bought my first abio angel from them . The girl who runs it is on this board (Amy the yu).

Abio angels are made by Leroi (formally of Mythdoll)-I guess Divinity doll might be able to get in contact with the company, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary trouble for them, especially since they're not involved at all .

The official Abio angel website is here-they do list an e-mail address, but I think you have to communicate with them in Chinese?

 

Here is my information:

12-30-07: Order placed. Was told Shi was instock and would ship as soon as I paid.
01-10-08: Order paid in full, 374SGD. She was nice enough to wait for my payment. Shipping was higher than posted, honest mistake.
01-11-08: Chose eye color. Told she would ship that day.
01-13-08: Shi wasn't instock. Supplier ordered another one, supposed to come in a week.
01-14-08: Change shipping address.
02-08-08: Asked about my order, still not shipped, company is on holiday.
02-25-08: Told Shi arrived at dealer and would be shipped once I confirmed eye color. Changed shipping address again.
03-16-08: Pm'd about order. Shi is instock again.Told she will be shipped either that day or the next.

I pm'd her again recently but with no reply. Personally, I think she's overwhelmed herself with several different group orders and is trying to dig herself out of a hole. I'm sure as an international buyer I am put on the back burner, which is totally fine with me, but I would like some communication is all to have reassurance that my doll order is in the works.

 

I've left her a livejournal comment (screened) informing her that she's being paged, and asking her to please log on to DOA and sort things out .

She's used that account as recently as yesterday, so I really doubt that she won't see it.

 

I'm also involved with this transaction, but my order was executed differently by means of direct bank transfer.

I would like to add that one of the participants on the SGCafe side, yukiharu_ai, has attempted to contact mmsedated but was hung up on.

 

Wow, and she's currently taking orders for a lingerie spree .

Do you suppose reporting her to that community would do anything?

 

Not to sound clueless, but how do you do that when the transaction is past the deadline ?

Mine always asks for a transaction number, and it won't recognize any that are over 45 days old . After that, I can't proceed.

 

Er, nevermind, I figured it out .

For some reason it won't recognize the idea if I copy and paste it, but it does if I browse it in .

 

Well, since she asked the participants there to keep their bank transfer receipts, I will probably collate all that information, and file it with the police as a breach of trust and possible fraud.

She probably has more than a thousand dollars' worth of funds with her right now. Hopefully that's enough money to make the police take it seriously, and that's not counting the international side.

 

hope this will work.

mine was through direct bank transfer as well.

SchizoCheese>>yep.i still have my receipt.^_^

yes.i got hung up on.
if she wanted to seem as though she couldnt pick up,you'd would think she'd let my call continue ringing instead of blatantly rejecting...?
hm.

 

Have received a mass update from her via e-mail.

 

lovehaze: Would it be alright for you to post the contents here? I haven't gotten anything. :/

 

I got one too. :3 I'll post it. Hope it's okay!

"Hi all, I sincerely apologise for the lack of updates. But just to reassure all of you, I'm not intending to run away!

Abio Angel was having a delay at first in the production of the dolls, then another delay in the problem w the S hooks, then finally another one w the official boxes. It has given the dealer and myself a big headache. I've been chasing the dealer everyday, the same she has been doing to Abio Angel. >< All this smacked between my own personal crisis.

For those who have ordered dolls without faceups, they're already at the dealer's place. However, the official boxes have not arrived. Abio Angel promised to have the boxes delivered 2 weeks ago but the dealer has yet to receive them. You can choose to have them shipped to you without the official box. The doll will still be properly packaged. You can also choose to have them shipped to you with the official box, but I don't know when it'll arrive. x_x

For those who ordered the dolls with faceups, the faceups will be done and the dolls will arrive at the dealer's by this week. Abio Angel promised to have the boxes delivered 2 weeks ago but the dealer has yet to receive them. You can choose to have them shipped to you without the official box. The doll will still be properly packaged. You can also choose to have them shipped to you with the official box, but I don't know when it'll arrive.

Do let me know your decision.

I'm really stressed up right now and I know that I've been paged and everything. I know I should have still been updating you all admidst the delays but it's really... easier said than done. The timing is bad and I hope to be able to conduct more group orders. I'll learn from this issue and will definitely improve.

As a form of apology, I'll be giving each doll a pair of boots for the guys, and shoes for the girls! I still love all of them and I hope all of you will be not that mad at me. T_T

I'll be keeping in touch via email. You're not going to lose me again!"

 

Thank you very much Citrus!

 

I've told her I want a refund, so now I'm just waiting for her response.

 

The Singaporean participants got their dolls today. Sedated told me all but one had arrived, and lo and behold, it was mine. -__-; What the HELL is this.

 

That's terrible . At least some others have gotten their dolls, so I guess that's kind of a relief.

I haven't heard a reply from her yet either.

 

I haven't received a response either, on DoA or by email. I requested no box. :\

I'm curious what this bodes since I only bought the body and my splitter is in SG. Hopefully they got their head okay? I'm glad to hear that some people received their dolls okay. But that really is awful, Schizo. She should have at least told you specifically beforehand, instead of waiting so long to even let you know.

 

Citrus>> Was your splitter wanting a Shi-wu? If so, the head arrived in a ziplock bag with a smudged faceup. It was however packed well in bubblewrap.

Sedated only realized my Shi-san was missing AFTER she opened the box. Good Lord, he was the ONLY one in the batch...how could they miss him?

 

I don't even know what head my splitter wanted, to be honest! u____u; It may have been, though.

Man, so still some shaky practices all around! This really is awful. Did she offer a free redo of the faceup or anything at all in compensation? Hopefully there was nobody else who got a doll in poor condition or didn't get theirs at all.

 

I think as far as getting the dolls are concerned, I'm the only one who hasn't received mine at all. :cry:

 

Just wanna add on:

Apparently her doll arrived with a broken knee.

 

I'm really surprised this is happening - I participated in this same group order, payed December 31st, and my doll arrived January 12th. I was blown away with how fast my order was processed, so I'm really surprised that some of the dolls didn't get to their buyers.

 

I sent her two PMs before the paging post was done, and if she's been online since then, she still hasn't replied. At this point I just want the body here so I can sell it. I've changed my plans, and I'd really like that money.

 

I'm on the brink of lodging a police report against her; if you guys think I should I will. If I do, I would like your transaction information as well. The police will sit up and take more notice if international fraud is involved.

 

Agreed. I sent her a second e-mail a day or two ago, so if I don't hear from her soon, I'll send my information as well.

 

I've decided I don't want my doll anymore as well, and I just want my refund.

This just messes up all my plans royally; I'd even gone and gotten his eyes, clothes and wig. Ugh.

 

Okay, an update.

Now Sedated tells me my doll's at the dealer's place already, so me getting my refund is out of the question. -_- She doesn't want to reply to queries about the dolls intended for the international participants, though...when I meet up with her I'm going to ask her to her face.

 

Thanks for speaking on our behalf . It's too bad you're not getting a refund, but at least you won't be walking away empty handed, I suppose .

 

Would it be too late to file a Paypal dispute, even though it wont escalate into a claim at this point?

I have been delaying it, trying to give Sedated the benefit of the doubt, but my e-mails and PMs have gone answered and I really want my damn money back, or at least the body so I can sell it. Especially with how it seems that she *waited* until the dolls arrived to tell Schizo that a refund was not possible. That is just completely dishonest and disgusting.

 

Yeah, I've already done it a week or two ago, but nothing happened. She didn't even respond to that one .

I just worry that if she's banned, then that'll just give her more motivation to pocket the money and run?

 

Perhaps it's time to get the police involved?

 

I don't mind filing a report on behalf of you all, but I would need information and screenshots if possible.

However I would request you guys to wait until she calls me to collect my doll, then I can confront her face to face.

If that fails, police it is.

 

Thank you SchizoCheese! I think it would be much worse without your help.

 

Aah, I see. I've had nothing to do with the police at this point in my life (good thing :P), so maybe I'm just getting a bit carried away. Thanks for clearing that up!

And thanks a ton, Schizo! I don't think we'd be getting anywhere at all if you weren't here.

 

I'm from Singapore. I ordered from her sometime early may and got mine a week ago without the official box, in a flimsy torn and intensively taped cardboard box. We have a missing doll here and no news of when its arriving.

Shes apparently having problems with her supplier plus having her own personal problems.

 

I've spoken to my mother, who will get in touch with a lawyer to see what can be done. At the very least, we can try to get you guys back your money.
