I had a storage couch I ordered from Coeros stuck in customs for over a month. It arrived on the 12th, but the tracking software they linked to me was completely useless.Thelord001 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 11:49 am Still no updates for me.

What is going on here??!

There have been many issues with customs recently. I had a Coeros stand (not a doll...) shipped to me, and it was stuck in customs for over a month. Why? I don't know...Thelord001 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 11:49 am Still no updates for me. Stuck in "label created" since March 28. The vendor is only giving me vague arguments about delays at customs.

Re: The wait. The BRUTAL BRUTAL wait. *support group*
They need to at least give the option for those who are willing to pay more. I get it, it will cost more to ship all the way with UPS/FedEx. I believe the fill a container and then ship it. So, I'm willing to pay more to get it faster. The question is if UPS/FedEx have the ability to get it through customs faster, or is this a customs issue. I don't think that the travel time from China to the US is a big deal.Thelord001 wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:05 pm This waiting time is not reasonable. They need to use a decent shipper like UPS the whole way and stop using this Chinese middle hand carrier using these ship containers that takes ages and gets stuck in customs..

Elsa Babe is using the same crappy software/website. It claims the doll is "in Transit", but also says "Your package is waiting to be picked up by the carrier" which gave the impression that the doll is still sitting at the factory. I have no idea if the doll is on a boat, airplane, getting laughed at by Somali Pirates, etc.

Re: The wait. The BRUTAL BRUTAL wait. *support group*
About 1.5 years ago, I first looked into dolls, but discarded the idea relatively quickly - although I did get instantly smitten with WM's head #414 (the adorable smiling one).
2 months ago, an interview I read with a German doll vendor / shop owner brought the whole thing back on the table, and this time I gradually warmed up to the idea.
And yesterday, I placed my order with Rosemary for a Jiusheng 148B TPE doll with a #8 "Arisa" head (also TPE), which, after sorting out the final details of my order today, should go into production momentarily.
Time for me to start The Wait (and get a whole bunch of doll accessories meanwhile).

Yeah, thats what i thought. You get what you pay for, basically.alion wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 2:14 pm If your mail is shipping via sea / boat then you have to imagine that they have to fill a container to make it worth shipping. Then it takes forever for customs to go through each one full of hundreds of parcels. There's a reason why it's cheap shipping. UPS express air is expensive. It's all about those margins.
I'm glad irontech uses UPS. My girl will be here next week.

(I also wrongly assumed that a major doll manufacturer would have a warehouse with at least examples of their #1 selling doll manufactured and ready to ship already. My bad in assuming that. )

Sorry you are having trouble, but you get me at the Somali Pirates part
