Second-Hand Doll Waiting Room v. 4

Jan 5, 2014

    1. So happy for everyone to read the good news :D! I will have a sleepless weekend ahead as I didn't receive or manage to locate the parcel... Singapore speedpost airmail tracking is horrible, doesn't give any specifications of its whereabouts. Will only go with EMS from now on. Never received a slip about a delivery attempt, but will try at the local post office on Monday. Till then... nerves are thinner than ever...
       
    2. Oh no Eolomea, I hope everything works out!
       
    3. Thanks SmoteyMote, at least tracking states clearly, it has arrived in Austria, gone through customs, then from arrival at "destination" to another "destination" which isn't further specified. Weird, but thankfully the seller is keeping in touch and trying to help.
       
    4. So he's home! Finn, my IH Ryan is now with me. Here he is, with my IH Cecile and Miuu's (on DoA) IH Tatiana.

      I hope you get your dolls soon! The postal services seem to be crazy all over the world at the moment O_O
       
    5. Just ordered an Iplehouse Violet! Now begins her adventure from Scotland! So excited! :aheartbea
       
    6. I totally forgot how unnerving it is to fear for a doll getting lost somewhere on the way. I managed to get over the day numbing myself by going to a circus with the kids. But I'm so, so worried, and there's still the Sunday ahead. First thing on Monday morning is I'm visiting the local post office to see whether the package has been dropped off there, even though I didn't get any note.
      Trying to stay positive :sumomo:!
       
    7. my iplehouse isar arrived today! now to just pay off my violet! :)
       
    8. I bought USD at overseas and really hard to wait that long shipping... :(
       
    9. I've been waiting for a couple weeks for my Dollzone Cherry that I bought from a friend. The I'm in Southern Oregon, she's in Northern California... so normally the doll should have arrived very quickly. The postal service had another idea. They sent her South... to L.A. She bounced around down there forrrrever, until my friend contacted all the right people, and they finally shipped her north... passed Oregon to Washington. It's our normal hub, but still really crazy to watch her bounced around like that! She's finally in my town, but tomorrow is a shipping holiday... so I'm waiting until Tuesday.

      In the meantime... I kind of... well... ordered another doll. A Supia Haeun. She too is arriving on Tuesday!

      I'm all nerves! SO excited! :)
       
    10. Congrats everyone to your arrivals/orders! I'm really frustrated by now with Singapore post. Gave them a call this morning to find out who is their delivery partner in my country, because it's not the Austrian post and there isn't any information about that in the tracking system. Guess what? Singapore speedpost customer service is not allowed to "reveal the third party's name" :ablah:. What is this secrecy sh*t? Pfff... Now I have no choice but to follow the suggestion to "kindly wait for another day or two".
       
    11. Oh goodness, that's so strange!!
       
    12. Just ordered my first secondhand doll a Littlefee and I'm excited and nervous. I've heard some horror stories and hope all goes smoothly and she is here within the week.
       
    13. Most of the time, there's no problem at all. I'm also waiting on clothes from a Korean company which were sent accidentally to Canada. But with the clothes, it doesn't bother me too much, in the worst case, the company can send out another set to the right destination. With a secondhand doll it's different, plus the one I'm expecting is a unoa kit with a limited faceup which can't be replaced. Maybe today's the lucky day :sweat.
       
    14. I buy all sorts of dolls if which many are second hand and the bad stuff that sometimes happens is usually the exception not the rule. Plus DoA has a great feedback system, which I love. Just do your research and hope for the best. And don't pay as a gift! :P
       
    15. SO glad today finally, some customer service representative from Singapore speedpost sent me a mail with the necessary info. The L-Bi is held by GLS in Austria, who did not bother to try and reach me. I called them up and indeed, they are holding my package and want an invoice for customs. Looks like a happy end is in sight, I'm relieved...
       
    16. [MENTION=66460]Eolomea[/MENTION], wow, that's scary :nowords: If you hadn't stayed on top of that, who knows what might've happened. Good work on being so persistant!

      Hi guys! I've got a secondhand Delf Ttori on layaway that I'm stupid-excited for, as well as a couple other dolls new from their companies!
       
    17. Thank you so much Praesagium, I must say the seller did everything possible, too, kept calling speedpost even though she's currently on holiday overseas herself. I'm so glad she helped! Got a reply from DLS they'd send the doll tomorrow, gotta go to the bank today as on top of it, will pay plenty of customs fees. But then hurray^^ :D!
      Congrats to you for your cute Ttori :aheartbea!
      Edit: The package arrived today. All the kit parts seem fine at first sight. Big, big relief.
       
    18. Got my final payment together for my SOOM Nelen human/faerie girl! :D Woo hoo!
       
    19. put a down payment on another iplehouse violet :D so excited! cant wait for my girls to come home.
       
    20. Holy beans!! My Violet is already here, just missed her delivery!
      Totally have to pick her up at the post office tomorrow! So excited!! :D

    21. So exciting to see arrivals coming in! I now have a Minifee Celine AND Chloe on the way! The Chloe is heading to someone who is also in the US for a face up but the rest of her is coming to me. As usual, buying from the other end of the world it means a three week or so wait for them...
       
    22. She's here!! :aheartbea. :D

    23. So excited! I managed to pay off my Nelen with my last check and she should be shipping in a day or so! :D
       
    24. I payed off my Dearmine Dearpet Dorothy yesterday from the wonderful lady who sold her to me. I hope she gets here soon (but not too soon)! I am trying to delve into making shirts for my Feeple60 Chloe (I have no money to spend on clothes now soooo I gotta try again. I can't do pants though, they turn out baddd). Hopefully I can downsize the pattern for my Dorothy so she can have new shirts. It's been a while sense I've gotten anyone new.
      Hope you all get your wonderful ladies/guys soon! ^-^
       
    25. I won a Volks SDC Mina head on Y!J n_n She won't have her own body but she'll share with my SDC Gretel. I have a new pair of hands coming, too, so that should help her feel like a whole doll n_n

      Update: Both the head and hands are finally in at fromjapan. It says it'll take them two business days to pack and send me the shipping charge @_@ I'm getting excited XD
       
    26. Finally my USD arrives at friends house! But I need to wait more till she send it to me ;( Buy second-hand doll in abroad is quite need to be patient as much as buy a new doll lol
       
    27. Just paid off my Dream of Doll Too!!! SO EXCITEDDDDDDD :D This is my 3rd time ordering second hand and i'm getting him from someone here on Den of Angels. He's going to be my first korean doll <3
       
    28. Yurika is home! She prefers being called "Rica" I think :3

    29. I just ordered a Souldoll Kanguk head! I'm so excited to get my Ash home!
       
    30. Ordered a full set Elf Ducan ^^ Once im over the initial shock and regret of spendage I'll be even more excited~~
       
    31. Congrats LinkInMyHead and Kodakid On your orders! Still waiting on my Too, and My friend is ordering a Bobobie Sprite second hand! Lots of stuff incoming!
       
    32. Thank you Moira! I'm very excited for my head to come in :)

      This is my second time buying second hand so I'm very excited that he'll be here so soon, but still kinda nervous. My seller told me that there would be some issues with sending out the head today (as we had agreed on) but apparently there is a public holiday where she lives (I checked, its legit) so they can't send the head out util Wednesday. I gotta say, it scared the life outta me seeing them say that they couldn't send out today. I've read waaaayyyy too many problem transactions threads omg. But hopefully things work out and the head is shipped to me soon!
       
    33. I posted in the layaway thread but forgot to post here. I have an Unoa Sist/Dollndoll hybrid on layaway but should be making my last payment next week! :) I can't wait to have her home. She'll be my second doll and my first secondhand doll so I hope everything goes well. <3
       
    34. I shipped my minifee Chloe head this morning and I'm waiting for a minifee Miyu head from [MENTION=60853]SwordPony[/MENTION]. I can't wait to get her! So excited :D
       
    35. Just paid my 1st payment For Doll Leaves Lilith ( Another Me ) from a member here... so she will be a second hand doll :D will pay the rest end of this month so happy :D
       
    36. Thank you~~ ^^ lets hope they all turn up soon!
       
    37. So, I'm back again!
      Just put down pay for a Souldoll Rouse! Now the waiting game with shipping. :)

    38. I came to join in on the excitement! I have a Iplehouse BID Elin coming as well as a Fairyland Rolly.
      The Elin is traveling from Spain and the Rolly from Canada. Since I live in Canada I expect to see Rolly very soon. The waiting game is rough.
       
    39. I paid off my Unoa/Dollndoll hybrid Monday and she should be sent out today. Just waiting on the tracking number.:D
       
    40. He came today!! My tan man is here!! :D

      The girls are so amused with him, can't say the same for him though. Lol

      My first bjd man!

    41. So I have my second second-hand doll waiting to be shipped out.
      It is a Dollzone Beetta. I paid for her yesterday and then went out and bought her so many clothes haha I have an order from Crobidoll, rRabit and Alice's Collection of clothes and things for her.
      I still need to think of a name for her though. I already have a frankendoll that I call Lucy and a human bust I named Lucy but I really want to call her Lucy too! :sweat I have a thing for the name apparently.
       
    42. Hey look at that, my Souldoll Kanguk head is finally here! I posted some pics of it on my tumblr so go check him out! He is really lovely :)
       
    43. Congrats Kodakid! But how does Kanguk manage to look so handsome and at the same time, as if he'd just had a severe fight?

      ~ Doing the Singapore post game again (did I say something like "never again", not too long ago)? This time, the package will have my phone number, and I have the carrier company's contact info. The previous unoa (boy kit) had a brother and with the seller being so friendly and helpful (offering layaway) I couldn't resist. Should get a shipping notice soon :dance!
       
    44. Got notice today when I woke up that my dollie wont be shipped out on time because of a missing headplate. It seemed to have fallen out and the original owner kept it. The person I am getting her from is getting it back though. Just going to be a weeks wait.
       
    45. ReMarie, wish you all the best for having your doll plus headcap/faceplate? at home asap. Time will fly by, looking forward to happy arrivals^^
       
    46. Eolomea, Thank you! I am still a newb here so I only know some names of things :sweatbut the seller called it a headplate. It is the little metal piece inside the head?
      Oh I hope so. The stuff I ordered for her should be arriving about the same time as her so I have a huge haul coming. haha I can't wait! This is my first doll I have gotten on my wish list. My frankendoll was a spur of the moment buy.
      You are so nice by the way ;)
       
    47. The company logo. Where did I leave my brain when I was thinking of missing headcaps and faceplates. Hopefully going to show up soon! And thank you, too, actually I'm the newbie here :blush...
      It's wonderful you will have clothes etc., ready, my boys will have to wait for a little longer.
       
    48. one of my iplehouse violets are one their way home! she's coming all the way from germany. can't wait for her to arrive! :D
       
    49. Waiting for a dollclans vezeto head. <3 it shouldn't take too long since it only has to take it's way from france to germany. *_*
       
    50. I'm getting almost jealous of those dolls travelling all over the world^^ - love to see how this hobby is so international.
      ~ Let's hope customs will go smoothly for everyone.
      Edit: The courier would have delivered yesterday, and where was I? At the dentist's. Nevermind I spent nearly an hour on the phone before I left in order to get the message through to GLS that the parcel may be left at my mother's next door. I discovered a paper slip somewhere in the dirt on the street that he'd come back today. So hopefully, I'll be able to post a happy pic from the box opening soon :abambi:.

      [​IMG]
      Big relief :sumomo:, my second Unoa Kit (the B-El) arrived today! I cheated for this picture, it's just the two brothers' faceplates, borrowing my other boys' bodies till their kits will be completed (please excuse the unkempt wigs). Aren't they super cute together?
       
    51. I got my Dollzone Beetta today in the mail! I was so happy and nervous lol
      I didn't do a box opening cause I thought they were for "new" dolls only not secondhand dolls. Silly me :doh

      Here are some pictures I've taken today to make up for it though. Oh and please ignore the censored breasts I don't have a shirt for her wear yet :huh?:

      [​IMG]
       
    52. I forgot to update you guys! orz My lovely Unoa Sist/Dollndoll hybrid came in the 4th. My life has just been crazy since she came. I only have managed to snap one decentish picture so far. Her name is Olivia. I have pictures of the box opening, I just haven't had time to post them @0@

      Link bc everytime I tried to post a picture it crashed.

    53. Jumping in here a bit late... I am getting a Fairyland 2012 Juri head soon!
      She is already in state, so she might be here tomorrow... if not Monday for sure!

      Poor dear will be faceless and bodiless for a while... but at least she will finally be home. :)
       
    54. I will get a Soom Migma.
      Will pay her on money.
      A christmas gift for myself.
       
    55. Purchasing a tan ResinSoul Ya, tomorrow! He's cute as a button and coming from a lovely caretaker.
       
    56. hi everyone... im still waiting for my violet to make it home... its been a couple of weeks since the seller i got her from sent her out... i thought she was sent out early enough that she wouldn't get swallowed in the holiday madness but i guess no such luck :pout:
       
    57. [MENTION=38263]ReMarie[/MENTION], she may not have a shirt but she certainly has a lovely sofa to sit on.:) Love the bright hair. [MENTION=65577]moondust07x[/MENTION], my package only had to travel 100 miles and it took 10 days. The holiday shipping madness is real.

      I am waiting on a Doll Chateau 03 adult body. One more payment after Christmas and he will be mine. He will make a great wizard. Hopefully because he is coming home after Christmas the rush will be over. (Famous last words - anyone?)
       
    58. she made it! about an hour after my last post the tracking finally updated saying she made it to the usa and now she is safe and sound at home. yea!:dance now just to pay off my other violet... :|
       
    59. Congrats, your Olivia is so pretty. I love the dress you made for her :D!
       
    60. This is what I'm afraid of as he'll likely be trapped for the same reason. Even though he's on priority shipping (3-5 business days), it'll probably be a million years before I actually get him :pout:
