Hi all, so on Dec 22. I sent off an email to see if I could get a photo of the Doll be for shipping.
But I have not received a reply to that email.

Good news is that they have sent me a tracking number for UPS for the order... Yay.
Although there is a on the the value that I have paid. It does not show the 10% discount that I received. Have to see what my new total is going to be.

Communication can lag a bit during the holidays. Just keep trying to contact them and ask about the 10% discount when you get their attention. I'm sure they'll sort that out for you.

Congrats on the tracking#.. :wink:

Does any one know if you can put laytex clothes on a TPE doll? Is it safe for the TPE?

So, my has order has now been held at Ups warehouse in Ricmound BC a waiting clearance, sence Jan 03/18. Im a bit worried that I will not get her.

I called Ups, they said that the clearing agentcey is just back logged. Just have to wait I guess.

Yep... Canadian Customs are a PITA when it comes to declared values.

No worries, i'm sure she'll get cleared soon. Only 3 working days since the 3rd.

Ahh, the joys of the GST and import taxes. I live just south of the Canadian border, and remember the days well that we would make a BC run to enjoy the freakish taxes. Oh Canada! LOL sorry, just had to tease a little.

UPS/FedEx usually call in advance so you can preclear the import duties. It's still subject to change as long as she hasn't been cleared though.

Now that i think of it, if it was the case then your tracker would say something like <<Declared value discrepancy, shipment held for evaluation>>
Happened to me a bunch of times.


Could very well just be that she's still in the holiday processing pile and hasn't even been seen yet.




Hang tight, she'll be home soon :wink:

Thank for the words of wisdon. They have not contacted me yet, I did call them and nothing was needed from me so far, other than the COD charge. They did give the option to pre-pay that amount.

Well I got her dressed up for some pics, but the pics are to large of a file... How do you lower the size of picture?

Greetings from north of Canada!

Resize your pictures with photoshop. If you don't have ps, download paint.net or gimp for free. Once you have one of those its as simple as opening the picture, clicking the image tab at the top, selecting resizing in the menu, and adjusting the size from there.

If you don't want to manually do it to each picture then change the resolution of your camera. The limit is 3600 pixels width/height so you'll have to set it under that. For me that would be 2976x1984.
