The wait. The BRUTAL BRUTAL wait. *support group*

[Gaijin]

Despite having way too many dolls, I have ordered a new one. Getting a JM105. Hopefully she hits the sweet spot between functionality, realism, and ease-of-storage.
The rep from JM said the order should take three days to make, and 10 days for shipping. So, here's hoping the next two weeks go well.

Eight Days.
I went from ordering to unwrapping the doll in eight days.
I apologize for posting here because this was the opposite of a brutal wait.
Good luck everyone!

That has to be for an in-stock item, right?

No. It wasn't. (I think)
They were telling me in the correspondence emails about the wait time that they need several days to pour and cool the silicone before the doll was ready to ship. That implied to me that my new doll didn't exist two weeks ago.
However, since it's one of their more popular models, being an in-stock doll wouldn't surprise me.

Either way, that’s a win for you!

Agreed!

Ordered a Fanreal doll from Rosemarydoll and it's 3 weeks shipping already, 1 week overdue from the expected delivery date, and still at label created on the UPS tracking. I ordered expensive stuff from China multiple times in the past that had to go through German customs and it always arrived in ~10 days. Should I be worried? Not sure what I can do from my end since customs clearance is not handled from my end but by Rosemary.

It says “label created” because they use another carrier to bring it to UPS. UPS will only get their hands on it once it passed customs. I would wait a little more. But you can also ask the vendor (not the manufacturer) if they know anything. They can track the first carrier.

And Rosemary is good and finding that information.

But you can’t just leave us as “you ordered a Fanreal doll…” which body? Which head? Factory photos?…

I made a thread with that info a while ago

I'm still waiting on my custom SM doll it's been 2 months just on the mold and another 4 when I paid for it.

She sayd the making of the mold takes a long time but hopefully not much longer.

Ok, in wait. Ordered, paid and order placed to mfg.
167cm Silicone SRS tan ultra soft (not gel butt tho) Layla hard + soft heads but I did get another ROS head.

Joining the group for the 4th time!
Places an order last week for a custom Zelex 170c inspiration. Already having 2 other dolls will help with the brutal wait. Not expecting anything with a few months as my vendor has managed to get custom textures on a built in vagina so don’t think my order will be top of the queue but zelex have been in contact so seems promising

[Kovana]

Eagerly waiting for my Samantha.J - only 2 weeks in so probably a month+ still ahead. Having a bit hard time not looking a bunch of clothes and gear to order up, trying to divert my attention to other things atleast for a little bit of time. But last thing i think when going to sleep and first when waking up is the girl i'm expecting to arrive.

[SinfulComforts]

My Zelex SLE 164cm arrives at the UK distribution center within a week for me Luckily my wait hasn't been too long due to it being a pre-configured doll ^_^'

I plan to take video clips and images when she arrives (as well as additional measurements of the doll to share with you all, as I struggled to find more measurements beyond the official Zelex promo image, for clothing fitting purposes)

[jeep2639]

One thing I would advice once you all get your girls (or guys...):
Either create a thread on TDF or join an appropriate thread where your doll is discussed, and share whatever you learn about her (or him...).
Sizes, clothes that work for them, etc.
Help those who come after you...

I ordered an Onahole and figurine masterbator from a TDF vendor back in January. I finally got a shipping notification for my order today.
Apparently Doll's Castle had an accident with some of their toy molds. The item I ordered wasn't in stock, and they couldn't make more due to the loss of that toy's mold.

Also, because I'm an impatient fool with more money than sense, I've ordered a custom doll from Elsa Babe. They took payment on the 27th. I'm now waiting on their team to figure out how to make the colors I requested.

This will be my 14th doll or torso. I'm hoping this one will eliminate my desire for a 15th for a long time.

No doubt. The desires goes away once you get a new doll. And then it comes back two days later...

I came across a Zelex post whilst flicking through Instagram a couple of weeks back. As it was just coming out of CNY, for curiosity I DM’ed them asking, if they were backlogged in work from the break and that I was eagerly awaiting my order. They responded and asked me for my order number and vendor so they can check with factory. How nice, I thought! Then today, they came back and advised that the order has been completed and I should be getting some factory photos from my vendor within the week! Woohoo!!! Happy days!!!

Also, they advised that they continued through the CNY holidays so good news for anyone else awaiting a Zelex order that spanned across CNY. There shouldn’t been anysignficant delays due to CNY!
