My latest order with DS
Order placed and down payment made Oct 27.
John said 1-3 weeks and shipping 4-7 days.
Doll finished and paid for on Nov 22.
Doll still not shipped as of Nov 30.
Reason: “...the box was waiting in line in the Chinese customs.
Because the COVID-19 and US-China trade and political disputes, Shipments of all large boxes all will be delayed.”
Uggg.
Just a heads up for those wondering what it takes to receive a doll from DS these days.

COViD-19 has done such a number on the doll world, it’s so terrible.

At this stage I do not think my XMAS elf will make it here in time for XMAS this year either.

Re: My latest order with DS
The neck really took a hit. Even bent the SN plate. Can’t get it straight by manipulation, so out come the wrenches. I hate to do it to a brand new doll, but I can’t leave it the way it is.
I have cut into the back of the neck to tighten one of my earlier DS girls, so I know exactly what needs to be done. I’m going to try and work from the top down and not cut lengthwise. If that doesn’t get me to where I need to go, then I will cut down the back of the neck. At least that way it will not show, with the wig, etc. Permatex liquid windshield sealer works great for gluing things back together.
There is a 10mm scuff in the front of the right upper leg. Not much to be done except not to rub that area and make it worse.
My previous two orders came in a much stronger double box. Not sure that would help now a days, as it looks like customs just cuts through three sides to have a look. The box gets pretty weak during that procedure.
My previous 2 orders did have neck issues, but not nearly as bad as this. I was able to do some mild manipulation to fix them.
The only tracking info I had was when it hit California, then again when it got to the local distribution center and then out for delivery. That gave me about a 18hr notice.
Ordering from China during this pandemic has sure changed things......
In the box. Best I could do without wrenches Serial plate bend Scuff on front of right leg

Re: My latest order with DS
The scuff on the leg was caused by the fingernails digging in.
Not sure how or why the wrists were bent in this fashion...
