Joining the sanhui ranks
Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
According to FedEx she would be delivered today to my UK vendor, I'm getting her sent to the vendor instead of direct to me as I work shifts and can only get time off when I'm on a certain shift where there is a skill overlap.
So she arrived at Stansted airport yesterday and has been stuck there all today with tracking saying 'clearance in progress' so I'm guessing that means UK customs have decided to keep her for a while.

Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
Its been especially tough coz being Scottish I have had to endure the wait these last 2 weeks while being off work for the summer holiday, sat at home wishing my doll was here.
Now I'm going back to work on Monday.
The timing has all been terrible.
Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
I now have no delivery date from FedEx and my doll is stuck at Stansted customs for a 3rd day saying 'clearance in progress'.
I contacted my vendor Phil at the dolls house and he says this has been fairly common at Stansted, the last order coming through there took a week to clear.
Order timeline:
Order placed - 5th June
Factory pics - 3rd July
Package sent- 24th July
Package arrived- ???
2 months of waiting and asking myself
'have I bought the right doll?'
'Should I have bought a taller model?'
'Did I order the right skin colour?'
'I keep reading about backs breaking on the new skeleton so should I have bought a different brand?'
Does everyone go through this when they purchase a doll or just me?
I do regard myself as a poor decision maker.

Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
Damn two months? Guess it depends on the manufacturer, my z onedoll last year took 5 weeks from order to delivery, i got a sino doll ordered since Monday night will be interesting to see how quick she gets here, last year i chose the white skin tone for my z onedoll and was worried she would be too pale while waiting for her to arrive, but when i got her she was a nice creamy white skin tone and looked greatPabzilla wrote:So an update.

When you see them when they arrive you know you made the right choices and sanhui dolls are beautiful
Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
Its a long wait with plenty of time to start having doubts about your decisions so its good to know I'm not the only person who goes through that.
Lustforlife I will have to find your lady and have a look, I'm presuming you have a thread somewhere I can find.
DanDub yeah man 2 damn months, factory pics were 3rd July, dispatch was 24th July. Honestly what the hell were they doing all that time? Putting her in a box for 21 days?
You have a sino doll coming, nice one, sino doll was my second choice for a doll, they are great looking, the only thing that swung the decision for me was the Abigail face I have ordered.
I was going Sanhui or sino coz I made up my mind I wanted silicone.
Thanks again guys.

Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
That’s exactly what i was thinking, about 3 weeks to ship a doll after she is made is not right, they usually ship when they are done or shortly after, yeah the curvy 155cm model, yeah i love silicone so much easier to maintain, and repair (when done right) and feels and moves more organicPabzilla wrote:Hey Lustforlife and DanDub thank you for helping put my mind at ease.

What an excitement !! to wait with you for your lovely "Shione" !!Pabzilla wrote:Shione has cleared customs and arrived with my vendor today, I have organized a shift swap at work so I can be home during the day so she should be getting sent out to me tomorrow and hopefully she should be with me on Wednesday or Thursday.

Nice being glued to the front window waiting for the delivery truck to pull up is the next step lolPabzilla wrote:Shione has cleared customs and arrived with my vendor today, I have organized a shift swap at work so I can be home during the day so she should be getting sent out to me tomorrow and hopefully she should be with me on Wednesday or Thursday.
Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
This is just a quick post as I'm getting my lunch and getting ready to go to work (2pm - 11pm)
She arrived about 9.30am so I have had time to unbox her and check her over and everything is working fine.
Her hips are very tight but I got them moving with a bit of effort.
She has a bit of an exorcist thing going on as her head is spinning quite loose as I move her around so if anyone has a tip to sort that please let me know, bearing in mind itsca push on head not screw on.
I'm not finding the weight a problem but then I'm only 41 years old and I have worked manual labour jobs all my life so I'm a bit of a powerplant, short but built like a tank I am.
So I have had time to give her a wash and powder and she feels great.
Will have to wait until after work to play with her some but so far I'm extremely impressed with her, she is very beautiful, the gel breasts are great and the Abigail head is just gorgeous.
So first impressions are great Shione is looking wonderful.
Hers a few quick pics I took, sorry about the lighting it was kinda rushed plus I only have a phone to take pics with.
So the lightings not great, she looks a bit less pale in the flesh and her hair (sorry didn't have time to brush it) is actually more a strawberry blond or ginger which is what I wanted.
So I'm very happy guys. I will post a proper review when I have spent some time with her.
Re: Joining the sanhui ranks
I'm surprised to hear that the head spins so easily. I do not have that problem with my Emma. Her head stays in place rather nicely by the friction of the silicone or that's what i assume at least. Did you push it all the way down?
