Where is ILdoll? They have my money! -updated
So I was in contact with ILDoll directly about purchasing a HR 151 doll from them prior to the pandemic.
Through Kevin, we agreed on a purchase price and I was ready to commit.
But unfortunately a combination of personal injury and the pandemic affected my finances. I explained this to Kevin and ILDoll and they took a deposit of $600 in order to lock in the price of my doll whenever I was ready to pay the balance of the doll, then they would begin pouring her.
Briefly in 2020 I contacted IL Doll asking for my deposit back as I wasn't sure how much longer my finances would be in flux and the future of the pandemic was uncertain, but Kevin convinced me to hold off and assured me the purchase price we agreed on would be honored, even though they had raised the price on their dolls.
I've now sent some emails stating I'm ready to complete the purchase and have not received a response. (which is unlike them in the past)
AND, I noticed yesterday that the Ildoll.com website appears to be down.
Does anyone one know what is going on with them?
Did I just lose $600?

Because so much time has elapsed, I'm doubtful I can grieve it with PayPal.
Plus, doesn't paypal have a policy against using their service for "adult items"?
I seem to have some memory of that coming up in the past.

Never heard of this...Ebay is one of the last interweb Bastions where you can still buy Sex Dolls and other adult toys and more than likely the transaction will have to go through Paypal...Not sure about the time limits to file a grievance though.morgan_mr wrote:Thanks. I appreciate it. I've recently sent another email, and am hoping for a response.

They've offered a refund of my deposit or to continue with original agreed upon price.
Kevin has moved on and I'm communicating with Vincent now.
I'm still deciding what I'd like to do.

So many great reliable doll makes out there. This is another good reason to use a vendor. The responsibility is on them when it comes to buying issues/service/damage.
One other note: Everyone, putting money down on a doll is never a good idea. A doll is not something you "need". Payments on a doll just seems silly to me. Control your money, if you need to place money "down" on a doll it's a sure sign you do not need it.

I've been in regular communication with Vincent at ILdoll and I've found him to be quite responsive. He offered a refund, but I decided not to cancel the order and we proceeded to work out the details of my doll.
Because I wanted the "hyper realistic" silicone version of the doll he warned it would be about 3-4 weeks before the doll would be ready for shipping.
True to his word I received some factory pics about 3 and half weeks later after finalization of the order. Unfortunately, this was on the eve of the 5 day china holiday, so I had to wait for their shipping local depots to reopen.
I finally received the tracking number earlier this week and I've been anxiously watching her progress around the globe. She's expected to arrive later this week.
I'll try to post some info once she arrives and I've had a chance to unpack her.

Can't wait to hear about your IL 151. Hopefully you can posts some pics too.

I am also interested in the HR151 and could not find to much recent information about them. I look forward to your review.

However, true to their word they eventually got back in touch with me, delivered on exactly the doll I wanted at the price we agreed on. They did mention that they had been having webhosting issues that were being resolved and the website did eventually go back up.
I see they are still listed with a number of vendors, maybe reach out to one of them and ask if they know anything?
