Second-Hand Doll Waiting Room v. 4

Jan 5, 2014

    1. I just put down the deposit for a lovely Tatiana. I've been wanting one for several months now and found the perfect girl.:D

      I can't wait to see Abbi when I'm able to get her!
       
    2. Well... My kid is finally available for pickup! But I'm currently on the other side of the country :...(

      Come on Saturday. You can't get here soon enough.
       
    3. I just paid off a 1/6 sqlab ren and a ringdoll body! I'm waiting for them to ship!!!
       
    4. Welp here I am again!

      In a new years eve miracle, I managed to secure a Dust of Dolls Appi Meel in the limited edition blue menthe skintone from this year's L-Doll 5! I'm still sure I'm dreaming but it's actually happening!! Of course I might have to sell some body parts to finish my layaway but it's totally worth it! :D

      I'm already browsing eyes and wigs for her. She's such an unusual size so it's going to be difficult to get just the right things!
       
    5. Ah, I ordered a Impldoll Nelson with a custom faceup and I really can't wait to see him! I've paid for him and he's been shipped, so he's officially mine!! I can't wait until he arrives! :)
       
    6. I made payment for Volks school head A Swd version, and She is on her way! Can not wait to get her. :dance
      Now I have to find body for her.
       
    7. Congrats to everyone who has had their dolls ship! Mine should be sent out today!!
       
    8. I feel so anxious and heartbroken; I just bought my second doll from a lovely user on here and she was sent off right away, and should have arrived yesterday--went to the post office and they can't find her!! The guy who originally handled the tramsaction with the seller only gave me a part of the insurance instead of the full asked for, and put the wrong address on it to boot.

      I hate this feeling, I just want my doll to make it home safe and sound ;____;
       
    9. Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that!

      I would file a paypal claim asap - tell the seller that it was her responsibility to insure the full amount and put the right address. If she wasn't sure she should have checked with you before shipping.

      If the doll arrives to you I would give her the money for the doll but not for shipping since she clearly didn't ship the doll properly and you shouldn't have to pay for it.
       
    10. Oh no no it wasn't the seller's fault at all--she doublechecked with me the address and everything, and told the guy to give full insurance on my package, but she looked at her receipt when I told her what happened and saw he'd only given $50. Not sure how he messed up so bad--but the seller offered to pay me back what wasn't covered by the insurance.

      Fortunately after checking the mailbox again, the post office fixed their mistake! She's here--I have yet to open the box yet though and make sure she's okay. Just knowing she made it home safe makes me feel so much better though ;__; I hope that never happens again, that was horrifying and stressful orz

      Thank you for your advice though ; v ;
       
    11. Oh I'm so glad to hear that!

      Thats the first time I've heard of that not being the seller's fault!

      (Share a photo here please if you'd like!)
       
    12. yeah esp with all the horror stories you hear x___x so far I've gotten really lucky with all the secondhand sellers I've encountered, they've all been very nice!


      Ahh I don't have any good pics because she's in pieces right now for tattooing/body blushing, but I have my first doll's reaction to her new roommate's head 8'D

      http://purplecheesestick.deviantart.com/art/Welcome-Home-Lazuli-504759608 (link bc the photo is rather big, sorry ;__; )

      She's a tan Resinsoul Mei c: --I never would have thought I liked the sculpt till I saw this girl in particular, she spoke to me so I got her ; v ; (plus she came with eyes, wigs and clothes lol added bonus.)
       
    13. Ah, that made me laugh.
      I love resinsoul mei. My friend and I got her for a mutual friend for christmas and she stayed at my house for a while and I just adored her!


      (As a side note, both my seller and the tracking says my girl will be here MONDAY.... she shipped this saturday! @__@ I'm so excited!)
       
    14. I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, I actually really like the sculpt of her torso too o: she'll wear all the clothes my AoD Astrid can't fit into LOL!

      Oooh congrats!! ^^ Be sure to take pictures and show us when she gets there!
       
    15. She's arrived! That was... such a weirdly short wait. I'm not used to that - it's usually 4ish months before I ever see dolls.

      Anyway, here's the box opening thread! I hope you enjoy!

    16. Guess I should add myself to this thread! I will be making the last payment on my grail girl tomorrow! :D She's a Lillycat Constantine in Chocolate skin! I am beyond excited to have her home, she's my Christmas gift from my beyond amazing boyfriend~ Also, SmoteyMote, you're new girl is so lovely! Congrats on her arrival! ^-^

    22. I got my new dolly today! And now I can't stop holding her and changing her outfits :D
      She came with a full wardrobe, and I ordered some other things for her as well that also came today~

      CheekyPockyPrs: Congrats on getting your heads! I'll be posting pictures later maybe :)
       
    23. I bought 2 second hand Volks YoSD (Elena & Colin) already then they were received before/after Christmas~~ and the third one (Neon) will come during February!
      Also, I just ordered a second hand littlefee Juri faceplate with the cute kissy face, and she will be shipped tomorrow~~:dance (Finally, for the second time due to the seller's sudden disappearance from DoA, I got a refund...)

      >3< I am super excited~~~ Congrats to everyone who received their children safe and sound~~ and hope the children who have not arrived yet will be home soon~~~
       
    24. Oh my gosh! Congratulations~! I'm so excited to see pictures off your head and faceplate that you have incoming, especially the kissy Juri faceplate. I mean, it's so super adorable! >3<

      I also have some really good news, my two Serin heads have left the US and my R head has left Sydney and should be here either tomorrow or the date after~. I'm too excited for words! But I think I would laugh with joy if both of them came the same day. XD
       
    25. Forgot to post here when my girl arrived! ^^;" Woops!
      My grail girl Maybell shipped on 1/9 and arrived on 1/13 all the way from Japan!

      Thank you everyone for keeping me company even though it was a short while!
      Best wishes to all!~
       
    26. I am waiting ever so patiently for a Pukifee Pongpong that i purchased on the marketplace. The doll was so reasonably priced that i could not refuse. And i was so impatient for her, i finished the layaway pretty quickly id like to think. She started in Australia and is now stalled somewhere in New York. Shipping hasn't updated in 6 days :( All it says is "Processed through sort facility". I'm trying to keep myself busy with sewing clothes for her and i have her wig supplies already here, just waiting for her arrival. *pouts* is it normal for a package to not update? (i had a few amazon purchases that the shipping didn't update on for 3 days and they arrived today to my surprise, so i dont even know whats going on)
       
    27. thebeastnamedzafarri: your little one is probably stuck in customs. i had a doll held there for over a week once before they finally released her so she could be delivered to me. :vein
       
    28. moondust07x--thank you for your reply :) I hope they release her soon, if they do in fact have her. She's one of my favorite doll sculpts ever.
       
    29. Much to my surprise, my pukifee arrived today!! :D
       
    30. my iplehouse violet made it home yesterday!
       
    31. Congrads to those who hv received ur dolls! still waiting for mine... T.T
       
    32. Just purchased my grail - Dollstown Hue - from the market place! I'm so excited! :D
       
    33. [​IMG]
      Here is my YoSD Colin~~ His name is Maro ^_^ He actually arrive during December but I did not have time to post pictures for him ; 3;...
      Nice to meet everyone~~

      CheekyPockyPro~ I will post the Juri kissy faceplate once I get a face up (it may take forever)
       
    34. Hue was sent out yesterday! I wonder how long he will take to get here

      Honeyrainamrita He's so lovely! Congrats!
       
    35. made my first payment on my souldoll celina! can't wait to have her paid off so she can come home (though i still have a long way to go :pout:)

    37. Last week, I made payment for Volks Tae head.I can't wait to see her.
       
    38. Hi everyone, just bought my grail doll 5stardoll Aiden in white and red resin from the Marketplace! Super excited! Was having trouble finding someone who would ship outside the US, apparently the dolly deities were smiling my way last week. XD

      They have shipped from France so hopefully won't take long to reach the UK. xxx

      Been snooping at all your arrival pics and box opening. ;)
       
    39. My Hue arrived yesterday and I'm so pleased! He is wonderful! Good luck to all those still waiting ^ - ^
       
    40. I just got word that I can get my Volks MSD F-18. I sent payment and she should be shipped very soon and since St. Louis and Chicago are fairly close once shipped it shouldn't take too long inside of a week most likely. This will also be a dream doll cross off and first BJD purchase in nearly 5 years.
       
    41. I just bought my first Pukipuki, should be with me Mon or Tue :dance.
       
    42. I just bought my first Pukipuki and Realpuki also! I waiting for them to arrive from the States to me here in Australia. Hopefully this week!
       
    43. I'm currently waiting for a somewhat impulsively purchased Doll Leaves Fay, who I decided will be named Lyric. She should be on her way to me on Monday if all goes well - not quite sure how long shipping will take, but it's not international so shouldn't be too long. Her wig, eyes, and some clothes for her are also on their way from different sources, so it'll be fun putting her together when everything finally arrives. :)
       
    44. made my first super international doll purchase (a trade actually), coming to the US from Russia. Kind of nervous because international things make me nervous in general but the package cleared Russian customs and I've continued checking the number obsessively! No idea how long shipping takes haha but I've started looking for cute things to buy for him or her once it gets here. A Leekeworld Bijou with a super cute faceup :)
       
    45. I am currently waiting for a Resinsoul Sui, this is the first time I've bought second hand. I'm super scared and excited.

    46. Waiting for my Dollzone Xi to arrive from the USA flying over to England, its not the first time I've bought a second hand doll I have quite a few of them. I shall be stalking his tracking until he gets here :)
       
    47. Just paid for a SWITCH Milhwa, and I can't wait until he gets here! He's going to be so handsome~
       
    48. Very exciting everyone :D I actually love buying secondhand though, it's so cool to think of who owned it before you, where it's been and where it might go next. I want to get a map and put push-pins in places that I've shipped to and from, you know?
       
    49. My boy is now stuck in customs awaiting clearance so fingers crossed its not going to cost me to much to get him out? 0.0
       
    50. I just finished paying off an SID Eric that I'm adopting...I can't wait to get my first boy, and a doll off my wishlist! :fangirl:
      He should be shipping sometime next week, and hopefully he will be home within the month!
       
    51. Customs fee paid my boy should be with me tomorrow :) also I've now bought a 5stardoll Batboy who is also on his way to me.
       
    52. Both of my dolls are out for delivery today, now I just have to sit and wait in for them.
      *waits*
       
    53. just got a withdoll fenrir head and a fairyland chloe head. super excited to cross two more off my want list :dance
       
    54. Both my boys are now here and they are lovely :) got no other incoming dolls now *jumps out the waiting room*
       
    55. The seller whom I bought switch Ajeong from said she'd send him today. I'm super excited! If I'm lucky I'll get him next week.
       
    56. I have sent off my trade items and my Island doll/Batchix mini machina hybrid girl should be going out tomorrow! Sooooo excited!!!
      Edit: she has shipped! She is travelling from France to Canada. Let the package stalking commence!
       
    57. Looking at picture galleries is clearly a bad influence, hehe! Already my second doll--just bought a Pukifee Mio from the marketplace, now waiting for her to ship from England to me. Yay!
       
    58. Lol I know what you mean, I had the trade lined up for my second before my first even finished production! I had market place access for only a week or so before I found her ^.^"
      My girl is in Canada! On the East coast though and I am on the West so there is still some wait time.
       
    59. My boy shipped from Denmark last week and he is somewhere between NYC and here...now when this icky winter weather goes away, his journey will be able to continue! I was hoping he might be here by Friday as that is my birthday (and possible if he was sent by air cross-country?), but I'm thinking early next week sometime (if he is coming by truck, as I suspect)~:dance
       
    60. My new boy arrived earlier today and I will get to open him after I get off work! :D

      Given how horrible the weather and roads have been across the country, I'm surprised and impressed that he made it so quickly!
