Seriously though, It's as good a time as any, I doubt it'll ever get any better than the offer they have on at Abyss at the moment.
I'd agree she definitely has a more than passing resembalance to Juliet Lewis.
Always 1Jay, always
I honestly thought they'd wait til the summer to have another discount and that that discount would be $500. And yes I agree, I don't think they'll announce a
better deal than this one, and the one they had in December, but I do believe that Abyss will offer another deal like this within the next 12 months. That and a serious communication breakdown that happened at the tail end of my dealings with Amanda on the order of Jennifer (Face 14, Rui), have me rethinking the plans I told her of my ordering about a Realdoll a year. As you know, and other might not, so far I've bought 2 RD's in less than 2 months. But I need to trust that what I see on their website is what I can order, and that definitely is not the case. I don't want to shop a website, make selections based on what I see on that website, only to be told several times that the exact item I want is not available,
not at the prices I'm paying. There was also a big question as to weather the version of the Rui face that I wanted, that they still have pictured on their site (Face 14, Rui, photo set 1), could be achieved, because as I was told, that face mold is no longer used, she went on to say, that they would try to achieve the same look with the mold that they currently use. Given this fact, I wanted a picture to be e-mailed to me before, preferable well before, the item was shipped. She wanted to e-mail me a picture the day of shipping or after shipping. I felt that wouldn't work for me. If I didn't like the look, getting pictures the day of shipping, or after would be too late to try and get it right. She took this as my intent to cancel the order, which I never said or meant to imply.
My opinion is that if they really valued customer satisfaction over just making a buck, they would take all items no longer available (doll images with molds no longer used, clothing lines, etc.) off the site, there'd be less confusion.
The working relationship with Amanda started off great, she answered all of my questions and seemed to go out of her way to help me, in keeping with some things that I had read about her from different members of this site before I placed my order and before I was a member of this forum. But in the end, it ended with veiled, unjustified contractual obligation threats on her part to me, and that fucking shit I won't stand for! One of the things that I read on this site before becoming a member, were glowing words about how Debra and Amanda kept in contact with you during the process. Well, with the Lupe deal, after the order was place, I didn't communicate with her, and she only sent one e-mail, about address confirmation
, as if my address would have changed in one month.
I'd thank her for all the stuff that she did for most of my Jennifer order, and their pick of the outfit she came in, but at this point I don't trust that complete customer satisfaction is their concern, and I know that their not above insulting the customer.
P.S. To everyone that reads this, I'm sorry to have gone negative here, and if you check all my other post, except maybe one other, all my other post have been upbeat and positive. Also (last bit of neg) Don't try to buy any of the outfits they still have listed on their site,
none of them are still available, not some, NONE.
I've told her we can all share, but I think she's also looking for some alone time with Little Lupe, but I'll try to get some candid photos of them together and post them in the Dollalbum, but don't tell them 
I hope this is an isolated incident as opposed to the norm. There may be some restructuring going on in-house, or at least online, so who knows? Hopefully you and other prospective customers (like moi!) will have a better time of things in the future. Still, it makes me a little nervous...
