What would be the minimum humidity and temperature for safe storage of DS for 1 year? Is 44% RH at 13C (55F) ok or would it cause the silicone to dry and deteriorate faster?

The box is made of very thick cardboard and there is a thick hard foam insert inside the box on all sides. I think the structure of the box should hold 50 lbs from the top side.

I need to store a DS-145 in its original shipping box for about 6-8 months and I came up with these two options: 1) Wrap the doll in a white bed-sheet, then in the sleeping bag that came from the factory. Put flat pillows in the original box under the back and legs to spread the weight, and store th...

It's odd to me that the government can seize something at customs like that. Here in the U.S.A you can buy what you like as long as what you are buying doesn't hurt others. Actually, doll seizures also happen in the US but it's definitely not as common as in the UK. LoneRanger and a few others had ...

Dollhugger, you completely misunderstood my post. I am 100% with Harem here. I found it really odd that a vendor (who calls himself professional) complained and singled out Harem despite his stellar reputation here on TDF.

In so far as this vendor operating a site banned on TDF on his page http://www.--Non-verified Vendor--/please-read-important-information/ is purporting to be . . . pride ourselves in giving the best service for our customers out of all the doll re selling agents, please do not listen to the negativ...

A customer would certainly expect more assistance from a vendor, especially a vendor who claims he is being treated unfairly on TDF. On the other hand, I don't think this thread belongs to "scam alerts" since this is not an actual scam.

It looks like DS is only giving a choice of TNT and UPS for shipping:( I heard negative things about both. Does anyone know which of them would be less bad for shipping to west coast?

Forgot to mention TNT quoted me the following: $135.70 Customs duty/tax $25 customs merchandise processing fee $15 TNT brokerage fee $15 Private individual submission $5 credit card fee total $195.70 I am really surprised with these extra charges. Wasn't this included or disclosed in the shipping c...

Hi, Guest7, ...copycats can also also copy existing numbers from the original dolls... What if reputable doll makers install microchips, deep inside the TPE or silicone? Then the chip can be scanned for serial # and authenticity. Would that suffice (or partially suffice)? I thought about this too b...

Serial numbers is the way to go. Of course, copycats can also also copy existing numbers from the original dolls, so it's important the manufacturer allows checking the number online and the result shows the corresponding doll specs, date of production and the sale date. This way a buyer can be cert...

I checked the Wikipedia page that Harem linked and one portion caught my attention: "Reacting to the ongoing development of "sex robots" or "sexbots",[19] in September 2015, Kathleen Richardson of De Montfort University and Erik Billing of the University of Skövde created th...

From what I gathered, Doll Sweet and ExDoll is the same company doing business under two names depending on the region (ExDoll in China and DS everywhere else, except Japan where all sales go through ArteTokio). But there are still a few things I'm curious about: what is DS relation with ArteTokio? ...

Actually, a search for "Bradley Charvet london cafe" shows plenty of articles on this subject from various newspapers. There is even an interview with the owner ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/inverse/a-blowjob-cafe-staffed-by_b_13373700.html ). Apparently he is buying the dolls from MySil...

The customs at Birmingham will probably flip if all those sex dolls show up at their checkpoint: http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=79870
