So I have been putting this off for FAR too long...
My name is Jim and I live in Edmonton, Ab, Canada.
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone on this site for all of the valuable information I've gained from TDF over the last 3+ years....talk about procrastination!
My main reasons for finally joining are ...
More and more I find myself wanting to join the conversation.
And I also have a 2015 WM 125, a 80cm floppy and a brand new unused head (#107) to sell.
I've also recently purchased a 155cm D4E aka Dollforever.
The hinged neck, wrists and feet (standing - NO bolts) are so much better, not to mention the ridiculously awesome TPE blend they use.
I will try do a proper review once I'm able to post pics.
Also, I would like to give a shout-out to Bud @ Dollto.
Out of the three TDF vendors I have used he stands out as the best of them.
Cheers,
Jim

Congrats on your purchase, sounds like it was a good one.

Sometimes being an early adopter actually pays off, and as a bonus it was a few hundred less than I expected to pay.

Re: So I have been putting this off for FAR too long...
I was at a party, and some friends asked me if I could recommend a good phone and Internet provider.
"Telus,"'was my immediate reply.
"No, we asked you first..."
Re: So I have been putting this off for FAR too long...
Believe it or not, I grew up next door to the guy who ended up founding Telus!
I've also lived in Vancouver twice in the late 90's...I still think of moving back but I can't justify the cost - close to double for what I get here.
Cheers,
Jim

Small world, that you knew the founder of Telus. I still remember getting incredibly high roaming charges and bills when I worked north of the US.
Re: So I have been putting this off for FAR too long...
was customs canada a bitch when you were trying to bring a doll in?
also in my topic you said the smell is not as invasive as greens witch is good. could it be passed off as a crappy air freshner. forgive me if im too paranoid. im even paranoid about being paranoid. lol
nice to meet you
Re: So I have been putting this off for FAR too long...
I was curious to see how long it would take for other Canadians to pop up...
Weird that your thread was the first reply I've made here, cool coincidence!
As for Canada Customs, I've had one out of three ordered get held/seized.
I bought a WM 125cm in early 2015 and the reason for the hold was that they valued a $1750 USD doll at $200!
So I had to prove in paper the actual value ($2135 CAD), did that, and paid the 5% GST=$107... and done!
With the 155cm D4E I just got 2 months ago I asked for the shipper to declare FULL value, and of course they didn't...
But they declared just enough I guess - $700 USD, just over half of what I really paid. The shyte part is this time taxes/fees were $146 CAD!
I can't complain too much - I got the doll 5 days from shipped and maybe 20 days from order.
Plenty quick.
As for the smell, it's subjective, but besides the first few days, maybe a week, it's not bad. After about a month I couldn't smell anything but the perfume I picked. Keep in mind that most manufacturers use different TPE blends, which means different levels of odor. I can only speak for my experience with WM & D4E.
Cheers,
Jim

Thank you Harem,
I have read many a post from you, and have gained valuable information as such - including how to properly spell Doll4ever...lol
I hope my upcoming review can come close to doing their products justice. Don't get me wrong, it's not like there aren't improvements they can make, but for being their first doll(s) - I'm very impressed!
Cheers,
Jim

Welcome to TDF.
There is a topic called any doll owner in Canada? where lots of us Canadians have introduced ourselves.
It would be great if you did a quick introduction. Everyone is always interested in hearing about Canadian customs experiences.
You could also subscribe to the topic to get alerts about posts from other Canadians.
Great to have you here,
scooter.

It's great to be here amongst fellow Dollers - don't know if that's a thing, but it keeps popping in my head...
I did make a post in the owners in Canada thread - thanks for the link Scooter!
May as well post the pics in here as well as the other one is members only.
Let me introduce my new Doll4ever 155...

What head is that? Did you do the makeup yourself?
