Recieved doll - there are multiple indentations all over the body
Recieved doll - there are multiple indentations all over the body
This was purchased from an approved vendor for a quality brand, I waited two months until it was delivered and he didn't add tracking info. The order still says "pending".
What should I do, is this normal?

No, it was well packed. Lot of foam and bubble wrap.

If they are still there after let´s say 1 week, and they are the exact same or even worse, I would seriously start to worry.

Re: Recieved doll - there are multiple indentations all over the body
Problem is I didnt cause any of these pressure marks, which is why im confused. I've been massaging the marks and it kinda helps but not really. She's just been laying in my bed on a few blankets being unused. Didn't have a chance to clean her until today. The pressure marks are in places that are not being impacted by anything, she rests on her bottom yet they're on her neck, upper thigh, etc.
But, I'll let her rest and document before-and-after photos and see if anything improves or gets worse. If it gets worse and the seller does nothing, I'll take it up with paypal.
Still pissed that he didn't upload tracking info. The box sat outside all day and could have been stolen. I'm not going to name and shame but shit, man. Where would I be if it was stolen?
Re: Recieved doll - there are multiple indentations all over the body
The chinese doll manufacturers have been in extremely tough competition for years, most of them either only pay attention to introducing new technological innovations,
or they try to outdo the competition by offering ever softer silicone options.
Which leads us to your problem.
Your doll is obviously a silicone doll of the new, much softer generation... and all the little dots and indentations in the skin are unfortunately the result.
Are all the pressure points on your new doll normal?
No!
Is your vendor to blame for this?
No!
It is the dirty competition on a very small doll market that is to blame.

Wow how disappointing so sorry to hear.
I actually see a lot of brand new piper silicone dolls for sale in the damaged doll sections of some vendor websites. So in a way I am not surprised.
Yes, contact your vendor, ASAP! It is good that you documented the defects by taking pictures.
I am not sure what causes these dimples, but a running theory I have is that the silicone was probably agitated too much when they mixed the parts, leading to formation of air bubbles (or maybe they poured it too vigorously) I think that these bubbles can create small "pockets" of air, so when they ship the doll through air freight, the air pressure changes and probably leads to the formation of these fissures?
There is no way to know for sure how this was caused (well maybe if someone actually cuts their doll open for some investigative work).
I have an ultra soft softmax from SINO, and there is one of these fissures on it's shoulder. When it comes time to dispose of it, I might do some investigating.

Did the vendor provide any factory photos for your review prior to shipping? That would be your only indication of what was before shipping and after.
Seems like a bad silicone mold pour to me. Id guess the foam core underlay is collapsing or bubbles settling wrong. Unfortunately it’s been a common occurrence lately as they try new softer silicone blends and new weight saving foam cores. Sometimes it appears as dimples or like the skin is shifting and “sluffing” oddly as the core shifts and silicone settles or separates.
Hopefully the vendor will offer some remedy …

So just pinch the dimple and try to massage material into the void. Do it a few times on the dimple and all though it might not completely go away, let go and then kinda massage it flat. See if that works for you, looks like you have a lot them, good luck.
Re: Recieved doll - there are multiple indentations all over the body
Good luck with the vendor, RSX. I hope they provide you with a resolution that makes up for this.
Yes, the lack of tracking info is pretty unprofessional. I know mistakes happen, but that is a pretty big one (and an essential one). For sure, your doll could have been stolen! there is also the matter of privacy.
Anyhow good luck.
