My first steps and i need some help XD

Groo69 · Post by **Groo69** » Tue Mar 21, 2023 2:34 pm

Helooo. Every one, new to the forum,(was lurking around about a year or 2 actually). XD
And as the title says i wanted to ask help form you all

.

I decided to slowly plunge into the doll world after being on the fence/university school stuff/ forgetting/Working life/ ect,ect..... So i decided to go with vinyl dolls, for starters. Especially the LOVEANDVIBES dolls. I have seen many unboxed/stylized on this forum.

And here is the kicker. I am from Slovenia and they don't deliver to my country. The do to all neighboring joust not mine XD. You can find a few from the local sellers, but they are few in between, usually the old ones or the price is jacked up to 150-200%.

I went then surfing the net and forums, ebay, amazon, Amiga toy, other stores and could not find a seller that has them, could ship them or is a trusted seller.

So i decided to ask you nice people for any help, links or suggestions. Or is my situation hopeless and should i just sadly go for other dolls

.

Thank you all for your time and cheers

hope i posted this here correctly.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

There is no country selection for Slovenia on the LOVE AND VIBES website but it is not illegal to import a doll to your country as far as I know. Have you tied contacting LOVE AND VIBES customer service to ask about shipping to Slovenia?

DHL deliver to Slovenia which is promising.

Here is the English customer service link: Contact the LOVE AND VIBES Customer Service Team

LOVE AND VIBES eBay list some countries that they do not deliver to but Slovenia is not one of those.

Here is the French eBay store for LOVE AND VIBES as that is the location of their company and warehouse: https://www.ebay.fr/sch/i.html?_ssn=lov ... bessexshop

UPDATE: The following information is from the LOVE AND VIBES website:

8.6 Delivery Areas and Duty Taxes

We deliver to all countries within the European Union and Switzerland, the French overseas territories, Eastern European countries situated outside the EU, and Maghreb, with the possibility of delivery to other countries upon request.

I think you made a great choice!
It seems to me to be one of the best and most reliable
suppliers of DiaoShi girls for the European market!

Mislim, da ste se odlično odločili!

I completely understand you!

People from almost all parts of the world have gathered here
on our forum and our knowledge is united!

A similar problem is related to most
of the countries of the former Yugoslavia.

The Balkan market is limited to one central supplier
that supplies girls from the Netherlands,
from the company "Tonga BV", which operates only as a wholesaler.

The supplier "LoveAndVibes" has its three large branches
for three large European markets: England, Germany and France.

But since Slovenia is also a country that is a member
of the European Union, I think you can order a doll
through LoveAnd Vibes suppliers.

Here in our section, we all know very well that the
LoveAndVibes branch from France sends its products all over the world.
Contact them and check everything well.

Some collective trust towards LoveAndVibes France,
here within our section certainly exists, so I think that most people here
within our section would offer to send money to the supplier in advance.

Te popolnoma razumem!

Na našem forumu so se zbrali ljudje iz skoraj
vseh koncev sveta in naše znanje je združeno!

Podoben problem je povezan z večino
držav nekdanje Jugoslavije.

Balkanski trg je omejen na enega osrednjega dobavitelja,
ki dekleta dobavlja iz Nizozemske (Holland),
in sicer od podjetja "Tonga BV", ki deluje le kot veletrgovec.

Dobavitelj "LoveAndVibes" ima svoje tri velike podružnice
za tri velike evropske trge: Anglijo, Nemčijo in Francijo.

Ker pa je tudi Slovenija članica Evropske unije, mislim,
da lahko lutko naročite preko dobaviteljev LoveAnd Vibes.

Tukaj v naši rubriki vsi zelo dobro vemo,
da podružnica LoveAndVibes iz Francije pošilja svoje izdelke po vsem svetu.
Kontaktirajte jih in vse dobro preverite.

Nekaj kolektivnega zaupanja v LoveAndVibes France,
tukaj v naši rubriki zagotovo obstaja, zato mislim,
da bi večina ljudi tukaj v naši rubriki ponudila,
da dobavitelju pošlje denar vnaprej.

But they did answer nicely and yes i can get toys from them. Only you have to order through their customer services for orders and payment options are a little limited but acceptable.

I think you chose well to go Love & Vibes for your first doll! They are fine looking (and certainly for inflatables).
Did you order a wig as well? The standard hair is generally quite 'meh', but a simple wig can work miracles!
