Hi, I'm glad you're here
I'm thinking about getting Katie WM56 https://iamdollusa.com/product/katie-quick-ship-wm-56/. These dolls seem great for the price.
Now if you couldn't work out from the user name, I am from Australia and I know the shipping is free from 1am but does anyone know how import tax works? I'm just hoping it's not too much.

Also, there is quite a few aussie members here. I am sure they will get you the answers you seek…..
And make sure you pay attention to weights of dolls.

Re: Hi, I'm glad you're here

Re: Hi, I'm glad you're here
Glad you're doing some research here on your first purchase and we love photographs here so when she arrives we'd love to see her.
We have a few members from Oz and Anung Un Rama in particular is very familiar with doll imports etc, so hopefully he, or another Ozzy member will pick up your thread. Good advice from gonestill, watch out with the weight. It's probably best to try and stick to around 30kg unless you're strong and fit.
Enjoy

I have posted absolute volumes on this, but to help out have a proper read of some of the pitfalls in the below links....these include scale concerns, and import tarriff exemptions and also customs valuing and additional fees and why dolls are held over explanations.
It is All Australia specific, and as you see in my signature, I have done this many times.

So after reading all that and noting Dingo's preference for Katie WM56 through Brent at IAM, I can say that she is a good choice at a good price from a reputable vendor. I have dealt with Brent on a few of my dolls always with great results, and sometimes he manages to ship them through without the customs holds and extra fees, not sure how, could be just lucky, but so far I am 3 from 3 from him with no customs layovers or duties payable.
Cheers and happy reading.

Re: Hi, I'm glad you're here
This community is terrific in weeding through which vendors are legitimate; I came across this site by accident when I was planning my purchase, and spent some time as a guest going through the list of vendors and reading member reviews. After I received Lisa, I decided to join as a member myself. For one, I wanted to write several reviews of my experience; and two, I've come to enjoy and respect this community, and want to continue being a part of it.
There is a lot of information and experience available here; and a lot of friendly, helpful people.
Best wishes.
