Unresolved Paging mmsedated

Apr 6, 2008

    1. She finally did admit to the SG people she was chasing a dealer when they started making noise a month or two ago. But she did not say where the dealer was located.

      This means she misrepresented her sales here and most likely would have not been allowed to sell here since she was not the one actually purchasing the dolls directly from Abio Angel. I would have not bought from her if I knew she was going through a third party to get the dolls. I am sure most people would not have. So that is why she would not tell the truth.

      Given that it's been six months, I would say that those who still have money due should wait to make sure the ones already sent are okay. So far they have not left China but are at a sorting center. I will post here as to what I get, since I have little confidence that it will be the right doll or undamaged. Seems safer than getting my hopes up.
       
    2. I have asked her to take pictures and she said that she doesn't trust the courier to open up and take pictures, but I pretty much told her, "pictures or no money". In addition, I plan to wait until the other dolls arrive safely to see whether or not I should forward the rest of the money to her.

      Please let me know how the rest of the dolls arrive. This entire ordeal...man, for those who have ordered one or two doll, it must have been exhausted. I'm so irritated that this had to happen to the AA community.
       
    3. There is something odd going on, since it's been three days and neither the China Courier EMS nor the USPS sites have updated from "Your item left QINGDAO EMS, CHINA PEOPLES REP on May 28, 2008." All four shipped items say the same thing. Given that China is a day ahead of where I'm at (which made that the 27th for me), and I've already received a couple EMS items shipped from Japan at the same time, I do say it would be good to wait if money is still due.

      So it appears there were six dolls total she had not handled till now. Mind boggling.

      Hoping something gets updated soon, since supposedly this is being sent by EMS...
       
    4. That actually may not be her fault, as I ordered a doll from B&Gdolls by EMS, and the shipping seems to be just as slow. It took three days for them to register it as 'foreign dispatch'. So, we'll wait and see.

      I definitely won't send her my money unless all 4 of these dolls arrive in perfect condition, and I receive pictures of the doll I paid for.
       
    5. I hope everything works out for you guys; though from experience EMS from China isn't exactly the most reliable when it comes to updating.
       
    6. The USPS site is the one I quoted, at least if the packages were in customs by now it would show it. Status still has not changed. Given the history with this seller, until it changes I still say that people should wait.
       
    7. I asked for pictures too, and I pretty much got the same reply.

      I haven't paid yet-I'm transferring the money at the moment. I won't send it until I hear about the last batch of dolls.

      I asked her more questions (like how long it'll take for them to be shipped out after I've paid), but she didn't reply to them after I told her I'd send her the rest of the money :roll:.
       
    8. According to the USPS website, all four shipped dolls are in customs in San Francisco.
       
    9. Well, these aren't being shipped by EMS because it went from San Francisco airport to Customs to Oakland USPS Facility?

      I'm not in Oakland and in the past (like last week and before) EMS items that came through San Francisco were sent directly down to where I live. All I can guess is it's going out of Oakland airport to my local one (by Jet Blue possibly)

      At least mine says more than "cleared customs" which is what the other three packages are showing on the USPS site.

      Well, hope the darn thing gets here so I will know for sure how it was shipped and know if it's what I paid for and in one piece.
       
    10. She didn't use EMS when shipping out the dolls ordered locally. Said it was some stupid "courier" service that ended up taking like one week.
       

    11. Hum, interesting, especially her calling her shipping "stupid".

      I just checked and I think a couple of the tracking numbers are mixed-up. If there is a Kim checking this thread....I think your tracking number is mine since that one shows the item having left the main post office in my city. And the tracking number next to my name says it left Oakland, which doesn't make sense. So most likely I should be getting something today if the numbers are mixed-up. Will keep this updated.
       
    12. darn it, not being able to edit is a problem here. That is why I am having to post again.

      I wanted to correct my above post to the fact that not Kim but Colette's tracking number might be mine since it is showing my city.
       
    13. I got my girl today. She has no damage amazingly enough! The packaging was pretty rough. She even came with the eyes I wanted. Her faceup is pretty good. She has some rough spots I'll have to sand but they're no biggie. I'll try to take some photos if I can.
       
    14. oh joy, just what I expected. box dented like crazy and it's the wrong doll.

      totally. I paid extra for BW and it's not. don't even ask me what head mold it is, I have no clue. And it's got a face-up and I didn't pay for a face-up.

      totally fubar.

      I will be e-mailing the people on the list to see if anyone got the wrong doll. Schizo, if you could please txmsg the person who failed and tell them they failed I would appreciate it. thanks.
       
    15. oh guess what? it has no eyes. I'm e-mailing the people on the last e-mail in hopes whoever got the BW doll will be wanting to exchange with me. I knew this was going to happen.
       
    16. accidental_subjects>> Noted, will do. What do you want me to tell them?
       
    17. Well, I received one of three dolls we ordered, but we are still missing a Shi-san NS twin with faceup and a Shi-wu NS with faceup. My daughters paid for these dolls with their money from Christmas. This is just so.......GAHHHHH!
       
    18. Oops, I meant I received Shi-Wu NS and I'm missing Shi-Wu NS twin and Shi-San NS.

      Schizo, sorry to bother you, but would you mind telling her about my missing dolls as well if you text her? Thanks.
       
    19. Could you let her know she sent a NS Shi Wu with no eyes and a face-up and that I ordered a BW Yi with eye and no face-up. I'd ask for a refund for the BW money but I know that is wasting my time. I just would appreciate it if you could let her know she totally failed.

      Now I have to try and sell this doll. Anyone want it? Just pm me. I would need to get back what I paid plus any fees that might occur and the shipping. He's not a bad looking doll, just not what I paid for or wanted.
       

    20. Hey, if you can get her to send you a BW boy, I'll trade you
      (I know, fat chance of her doing anything right)
       
    21. please disregard this. the person in Concord won't exchange dolls with me since she also ordered a BW Yi and was contacted by mmsedated that the wrong doll was sent (which is the one I got) so that means she has my BW Yi and I'm screwed.

      I have put the doll for sale on Ebay but if someone wants it they can PM me here.

      I really wish there was someway I could express my anger over all of this. I have never been so frustrated in all my life. I am at the point where I want nothing to do with any dolls or anyone connected to dolls.
       
    22. Okay, I am going to post the photos of the package I received today.

      [​IMG]
      The Abio Angel box was only wrapped in paper and one sheet of bubble wrap and taped completely. I could tell before opening it that it was dented.

      [​IMG]
      The entire back was dented in. The sides also and the top pushed out from the doll.

      [​IMG]
      I have not even opened the box. You can see how the bottom of the box is completely dented in.

      [​IMG]
      Top of the box. Those scratches were not made by me. I carefully cut the bubble wrap and paper on the bottom to open this. The box is of the same weight as a shirt gift box.

      [​IMG]
      You can see how the sides of the bottom are all pushed in, and how crumpled the top is. It is a miracle the doll was not broken.

      [​IMG]
      This is the doll I received. It has no eyes and is the wrong doll.

      I am posting this here so others can see for themselves. If Samantha wants to do the right thing and rectify this by sending me the correct doll, I will send this one back to her after receiving the correct doll and the funds to send it back to her.

      Or if someone wants to buy this doll please contact me. I would prefer to do that over having to deal with this crook.
       
    23. I've texted her. ><

      I'm so sorry I'm unable to do anything to help you rectify the situation ._.
       
    24. Thanks Schizo. I'm selling the doll. Someone is kind and willing to buy it in payments, they are a good trustworthy person, which is something that has not happened in regard to this situation.

      As for the girl who got my doll and won't send it to me, yes that is stealing.

      I'm done with this mess. Good luck to those still having to deal with this loser.
       
    25. Well, I received a second shipment today, which did include the 2 dolls. One doll was the Shi-Wu twin that I ordered, but instead of a Shi-san NS, the other is a second Shi-wu NS. They must have had an overstock of Shi-Wus and sent them to us to get rid of!

      I think I'm just going to give up and keep the doll instead of attempting to get the correct one. We'll just have triplets now.
       
    26. Wow, that's terrible *_*.

      I ordered a NS Shi Wu, so I wonder if mine was one of the ones mistakenly received.

      I still haven't paid her the rest yet, and now I wonder if I should..I don't want to let her keep my deposit, but I don't want to end up with some random doll either :sweat.
       
    27. She's refusing to respond to my text messages. -_-
       
    28. uh after so long, she told me her dealer said AA cannot do a exchange for my broken doll...
       
    29. Wow, I'm so glad I actually got the right doll! Everyone got screwed in this group order. I still feel there should be some action taken but I don't know how it would be done.
       
    30. I just found this thread, wow! What a mess. I'm a part of this order too unfortunately. >.<

      accidental_subjects, I am confused, do you think that I have your doll (I'm Colette in Concord)? We both ordered the same doll, and I had the wrong doll sent to me! So of course the doll I got that is not what I ordered cannot be what you ordered either, right? ^^; I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, I just don't understand why you would think I have your doll? :? Though if there's more than one person in Concord that ordered and you meant someone else just disregard this please. XD

      The doll was actually for my sister -- I was doing the transaction for her -- and after seeing that some came broken we decided to just open the doll and see. On the bright side, he is not broken and is BW. However, he has a face-up that we didn't order. I'm not too familiar with the AA sculpts and my sister is sure he's not Yi, but isn't sure which one he is! ^^; I'll poke her about posting pics here later.

      Since I haven't head back from the mmsedated about sending the doll to the correct address (and covering the shipping for that, since this is not my error), I'm going to leave it up to my sister what she wants to do with him.
       
    31. accidental_subjects?
      Its the 'girl in concord', you spoke with my sister Dolly I believe? The doll was purchased by her for my birthday....biggest headache ever!
      I didn't receive the right doll though...I don't think so anyway.
      Unfortunately I stoped looking at images of him around 4 months ago after losing all hope....so, if anyone can, please tell me who he is!
      I'm very sorry for everyone who recived a broken doll or none at all :(. This is my first group order and it has left a sour taste in my mouth.

    32. [​IMG]

      Above is a picture of Abio Angel Yi. He indeed looks like a Beauty White Yi to my eye.
       
    33. Or maybe Er?

      [​IMG]

      Just trying to help. I'm so sorry for everyone's misfortune with this horrible ordeal.

      *hugs for all!*
       
    34. Yeah, after all of this, there's no way I'm sending her the money. Not only did she not take responsibility for a broken doll, she sent people the wrong dolls. Ugh.

      But on the bright side, that does look like a yi to me.~
       
    35. I also think he's a Yi. I took this picture when I first got mine:

      [​IMG]

      Everything looks exactly the same to me, except the nose looks a little smaller on yours..but it could just be the angle. I think all of those older AA boys have big noses.

      You can check your doll against all of the dolls posted in the database:

      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123831&page=3&highlight=abio

      I'm in the same boat as you. I really don't want to send her the money, but I don't want to let her keep my deposit either...I think that she will send a doll if you do finish payment, but who knows what doll that'll be..

      But at least that way, you could possibly resell it and make your money back..otherwise you're out the deposit for sure if you don't finish the order :sweat.
       
    36. Thanks everyone who helped my identify him, personally, I think its Ling, his noes is very pointy in person, not like Yi's at all, and the eyes aren't as rounded on top, then again, I've been wrong before ^^. The 'right' doll was supposedly shipped out on Tuesday but she hasn't said what to do with this guy yet -.-
       
    37. Okay, I held my Ling, Er, and Yi up to the screen to check each faceshape against yours. Based on the nose, eyes, etc. - he's an Er. With actually not a bad faceup, considering. Also, I can't remember whether or not mmmsedated did this with this order (I haven't dealt with her in months) but I do know that Abio Angels do come default with faceup.
       
    38. Alright, has anyone heard from mmsedated recently? She didn't even reply to me when I told her I had the funds ready :sweat.

      Of course it could be because I also brought up the mixed up dolls and other problems with this order :roll:.
       
    39. So, is anyone still waiting for their doll, or is it just me and orangediscord?

      I still haven't heard a thing from her..I'll write yet another e-mail to her again.
       
    40. anyone has abioangel's email or something which i can contact regarding the
      unable to exchange my broken doll issue?:(
       
    41. I've sent a couple telling her I've gotten my doll but she didn't send a reply. I hope she decides to show up soon!
       
    42. Any updates? Anyone even pursuing this matter still *_*?
       
    43. Bumping this up...does anyone else still have unresolved issues?

      I'm going to be filing a police report soon. She hasn't replied to any of my messages, and I'm not just going to blindly send her the rest of the funds.
