Jan 2021 Production + Delivery Times

Noticing that shipping is getting increasingly delayed as orders of all types are being rushed before CNY - has anyone recently ordered a doll and gotten an idea of what production + delivery times are like these days?

Thank you!

I ordered a WM from RLSD on Jan 4 and received the QC photos today (Jan 23). I was told delivery would be another 2-3 weeks.

I heard a rumor that some factories had a cutoff date of Jan 12 if you wanted the doll before the CNY hits. However, I'm not sure which factory this rumor applies to, or if the cutoff meant you needed the doll ordered before then or in the QC process by then.

Pleased to report I ordered from RLSD on 12/19/20 and I'm scheduled for delivery manana, 1/25/21.
Apparently when the tracking, UPS, seems stalled "Shipped Shenzen", it's actually waiting on customs clearance for most of that time. It's already here in the US awaiting clearance. Once it clears customs, BAM! should only be a couple more days to your residence. I had a feeling that was the case. BTW, this was shipped UPS Worldwide Expedited.

Thanks for the updates! Seems like the factory has been super busy but wow that shipping time.

Yikes, now I'm understanding why my order hasn't been shipped yet. I'd ordered on December 22nd and got my factory photos a week ago, on January 18th. My Silicone Lovers rep said I should have a tracking number within 3-5 days and I was getting concerned with the delay; especially with CNY around the corner. Fingers crossed I made the cut and she will be shipped this week.

Ugh, I ordered from RLSD on December 9th, was told she entered QC on Jan 15th. But as of so far today, no pics and no notice of shipping.

Ordered from RLSD on 1/5 and no update so far. It's starting to look like I won't receive until March

I did receive my QC pics (162F, #188 & #368) overnight into Tuesday. Everything looks great, hasn't shipped yet.

Got the pics today saying QC approved and moved to packaging and shipping.
So it has been exactly 4 weeks in production.
Hoping she makes it out before the factory closure that starts this weekend.

I received my QC approval a week ago and I've yet to receive a tracking number. (RLSD)

Best of luck to you, jgdng. I'm right there with you hoping for the best!

Thank you!

Ordered with Jeff (the best) on Jan 5th. Received factory photos on Jan 23rd. Shipped out of factory on Jan 27th and doll is currently in my state in the US with pickup likely happening Feb 3rd-5th. So basically a month from order to delivery. The doll is a WM 150cm M-cup.

I ordered an Irondoll 115cm on Feb 1 through a vendor. The vendor told me the factory has already taken off for Spring Festival and won't resume until Feb 19. The vendor said if I put down a deposit they can try to expedite my order in the queue because the vendor expects the factory to see a lot of orders. So maybe my vendor is just building extra lead time to sort of temper my expectations. The actual production length I don't know.

I was offered 3 different shipping methods: 1) air special for 15-20 days, 2) fast shipping (I don't know) for 7-15 days, and 3) sea shipping for 35-59 days. My vendor said their shipping agent has experienced large increases in shipping costs. Your results may vary because my vendor is in China and I'm in US. Let's say you're in Europe and your vendor is in Europe then the timeline and costs will probably be shorter and cheaper.
