OMG Damn customsI guess silicone is easier to clean, but I'd be worried if the customs agents decided to have a little fun at work and feel her up, think about all the germs, dirt, and sweat that would be on their filthy hands... Bleh.
I hope for you that they have done nothing inappropriate with her

At least there should be a bag with the insert along with the manual...RJAce1014 wrote:I'm glad too but the thoughts and the process of her getting cavity check is another story.

As for the damage, it looks minor and fixable, but sad this happens. I wish you all the best and hope things go smoother in the future. IG
So yeah, just the doll inside.

Re: Customs opened my package - DHL - DS 145minus
Private carriers like DHL, FedEx and UPS reserve the right to open and inspect any package.
The US Postal service cannot open a package unless they have enough suspicion to get a warrant.
The US Customs office CAN open a package.

I got a partial refund and no explanation other then the shipper was sent a letter from customs (per UPS Recovery Agent) and when I went back to the vendor, they had fired that shipper and moved on....

Re: Customs opened my package - DHL - DS 145minus
It's not fortunate at all. It's $400 worth of money paid to DHL and for it they opened the package, removed the contents, and then repackaged poorly enough that the contents were damaged.Obin wrote:Some consider RJAce1014 fortunate to have received his doll because of reports of forfeitures/seizures of similar dolls by US customs.

Re: Customs opened my package - DHL - DS 145minus
I ordered a DS145minus with Lin head on May 1 and 10 days later... May 11, I ordered another 145minus with Lian head. Both of them finished at the sametime and both is ready for shipped. I don't know how John is going to ship both of them so I made a request that lay down a week delay on each body apart to avoid the impossible.
Around early June, my 1st DS 145minus out of the two arrived along with DS Lin head. They arrived like same time together. Whoa, right? Glad they weren't opened together? Next, a day later, DS Lian head arrive. I have two heads early and how both shared body temporarily for photos.
Everything seems good but this next body that has been delayed for sometime has been sitting for shipment picked up for 3 days. I think it was rush cause she's supposed to arrive last Friday only ended up here this Monday.
No, I think if the head is inside the box, the result would be different. I think a potential damages to the head too since they won't put those hard styrofoam protecting the head back similar way to how they just throw everything inside the box for this 2nd body.
Now, listen, there's two customs this doll has to go before actually coming to me.
I won't be blaming US customs a lot because DHL can take part on their own inspection route. So let's say there's 4 of this motherflockers doing this job. Two would be in China... (DHL China and Chinese Customs) and the next two would be here in US... (DHL US and US Customs) so since the seal is in English and labeled DHL, think its one of the DHL, it's either in China or here in US.
If you checked my tracking, once she arrived at Ontario, CA in the morning, she was shipped 2 hours later.
If they did do a rush inspection... what for? The border patrol already do a greenlight... maybe wrong documentation attached? So I can't tell who among this guys opened my package or if both Customs and DHL are working together when this happened.
So far, my only concern is the repacking job. 145minus is far from being forfeited. She's not flat like Sanhui A-Cup on which has lean towards the forbidden appearance while 145minus is not really minus. So she's hard to be forfeited but has chance to be inspected.
If they do, it'll be like this shitty. So report to John immediately and he might be willing to take off the damage on your next purchase of compensation.
We did pay $500 worth of dollars for shipment only to get a bad job like this. Terrible company DHL are and their customer service sucks but they're the only way to go if you want a 145minus.
Cheers,
RJ

Re: Customs opened my package - DHL - DS 145minus
Haha the great news about this is, John from DS would offer a small compensation for the damages. That is the $500 shipping to you and repacked by unprofessional assholes in the shipping company. Anyways, at least it's not her head that has been done that. I would asked for another head if that happens. Her eyelash is so crisp that a tiny mistake would cause it to fall down.WaffleAnomaly wrote:Sometimes you just win the lotto and your box is inspected "just because".

Re: Customs opened my package - DHL - DS 145minus
It's not that easy lol since she's degraded, I have to sell her less than the price bought. It's my loss either way.. hey wait a second.Ddwyerstar wrote:She is used now, sorry....You should sell her and order another
I don't plan to sell her lol I'll be like Samara, homing dolls in need of help xD
It's minor damage and the finger paw prints can be remedied by washing her.
So far, nothing too concerning except a tiny bits of damage. I reported it to John and see what's up.

RJ
