I have been in communication with the seller for a while and they have supplied photos of their product. I know full well that it's a KO, and for the price of $420, including shipping, I'm just concerned about it's destructive quality. And what's even more troubling for me, is the customs issue in regards to small dolls. Will it get seized at the border for looking too well...'small'? My budget is quite limited, but I have been interested in the Candace dolls from the Beautiful Dolls website. So, I might go that direction instead.
What's your take on the $420 doll?
I will provide photos up here of the mentioned doll, from their 'factory', if anyone is interested in taking a closer look.
Thanks.

Also, if that doll was to be opened by customs in most western countries it would most likely be seized.
It is also dubious whether or not we would allow it to be shown on TDF, so for now, please do not post pictures of this doll.
Thanks.

No problem. I apologize for the link, but thanks for your insight in regards to it's dimensions. Definitely wouldn't want to go into a loss because of that. Would I be safe getting a 4'7" fabric doll Candace then?Maviarab wrote:Hi there, I have merged your two posts together.

Re: Very STRONG WARNING not to buy ebay, alibaba or aliexpre
But dont worry, one "manufacturer" from Alibaba who claims to be WM also sells screwdrivers!
So in worst case when you dont listen to advice you can get one with doll and poke yourself when package arrive (if that happen...)
wmdoll.en.alibaba.com
PS.
Complain already filled to ali, we will see what happen.
PS for mods:
I know this need you approval so if you decide to remove link to this site fell free to do that (yea i know, you dont need my permission to do that ;p)

Re: Very STRONG WARNING not to buy ebay, alibaba or aliexpre
Upon doing a google search with the term "Scam" in the search, I landed on a thread from this forum, and I discovered they very much were exactly that. Thankfully the knowledge base on TDF cleared this up, as had it not, I'd have spent something like $600 dollars on who knows what.
This is also why I'm going with a TDF endorsed vendor, because it seems even if there is one or two bad experiences with a well known distributor(which also seem to get resolved far faster then I've seen A LOT of businesses handle customer concerns) there are 90+ great experiences, with zero problems or issues before and after purchase.
Though as others have said, I'm going to have to echo-
You get what you pay for, but also- If it seems to good to be true, it most likely isn't.

Re: Very STRONG WARNING not to buy ebay, alibaba or aliexpre
I have ordered a doll from AliExpress before with no issues. It looked like the photos but was kind of cheaply made. It was inexpensive, though, so I didn't really care. I don't remember which supplier it was as I ordered it without an account.
I ordered one from the Hanidoll store a few months ago. It was an adult doll with an anime style head. I received an empty box. They did refund my money within a few days, though.
I have received everything else I've ordered through AliExpress very quickly except for one time when I got nail files instead of a lockpick gun. I use AliExpress all the time.
I think there may be some sort of illegal boycott or something going on and customs or one of the shipping companies are just stealing the dolls. I can order one in the USA with no problem, even the same doll as AliExpress sells. I don't know if it's the CREEPER act or someone just stealing them, but I've ordered more expensive electronics from China with no issues (with customs or the product itself).
I'm surprised it's even an issue in the USA seeing as how we have the world's largest porn industry and there's strip clubs and massage parlors on every corner in most major cities. Some sort of radical religious right-wing attempt at fixing a non-issue (yet they ignore the rest of the sex industry). I can go get a hooker here but can't order a human-shaped piece of rubber online.
Re: Very STRONG WARNING not to buy ebay, alibaba or aliexpre
I order my doll from aliexpress site. Searching for best doll with warehouse in Europe. I strumble upon "good" seller with lots of positive reviews so I think that maybe what people talk is to push you to take you more money. So I buy cheap doll without any option for customisation except height and that is "100% same as photos". So I order 170cm doll that on the photos was like JY Doll Tiffany. It came for 5 days! Initially was really happy how fast everything is happening.
So when I receive the package on the moment realize that this is different doll because the package itself was only 144height and it's impossible to put inside big doll with all wrapping. In the end I end up with asian look like doll with natural color. Well the dissapointment was really big and I started dispute in the platform. Luckylly(maybe?) I am platinum user and admins reacted very quickly and return to me 80% of the total amounth.
In the end I end up with doll for 200$ so I am happy. Price to quallity was worth it for me. Yes quallity was low - both wrist broken after month or so and can see the metal on both hands but still like I said for the money is worth it.
After week or 2 after my dispute this shop dissapear from aliexpress for quite some time. Recently I see that his show return with even more positive reviews So I guess there is some shaddy platform from where you can buy reviews because not a single one cannot be true - almost all of them are 5stars and you can easy miss 1stars from the real buyers that you can easily think "that guy was unlucky".
My opition if someone strumble upon while searching information is: If you feel lucky - go for it. Otherwise just save enough money and buy original - in the end it's worth it(I know because this week I receive my original Tiffany doll ).
