Maybe you should think about it. At least as an add-on.siliconefun wrote: You don't see a 'donate' link which means that this forum is for free to every joining member so if this place is sponsored via ads of blablabla that's because a site like this can't be run for free, okay?
Thanks for saying this, siliconefun!siliconefun wrote:For which reason should TDF allow a "no-name vendors on amazon/aliexpress" section along our TDF-approved manufactures & vendors?
It would be regarded as a list of vendors that are safe but we don't know anything about these vendors. We can't contact them and we don't know about their sources as well there're a lot of fakes sold as 'best deal' with stolen copyrighted pictures. Manufacturers and vendors listed at TDF are vetted and you will receive a genuine product so there's surely nothing odd with this thread placed in SCAM alerts.

You can buy your dolls from everywhere around the globe but stop whining when you got scammed from a clever middleman because TDF offers enough information to warn newbies......but some are too biased to just accept the experience from scammed peeps. Its your hard earned money and a genuine product is always better as the cheaper made counterfeit from which you 'think' it should be the equal in quality!!

It seems like I couldn't say this better.
This statement shows sad inexperience.shotdot wrote:Certainly, this forum is sponsored via ads of middlemen, which makes it biased. I'm sorry that middleman business model is threatened by aliexpress,
So for anyone advocating playing Russian Roulette with sources outside TDF's safety zone, please do tell us your anecdotes of survival, but anyone reading this thread should remember that those who don't survive the game aren't always around to speak.Yes, its really bad, they are killing the whole marketplace. It makes all buyers afraid. I read a lot on the Japanese forums and some Japanese guys have bought fake dolls from amazon japan that have given them really bad rashes and other skin issues.
Its one thing to receive a doll that is a fake its another when it affects your health. Especially during penetration if the TPE is not fully approved god know what can happen in these areas. Its nasty.

Me too. I repeat, without knowledges originating from TDF, I wont be able to make my "doll" way.Poradicus wrote:I would like to say I am glad there are forums like TDF to help newbies like me find a reliable vendor.
Yes, youre true. Amazon, eBay etc., their business model is ill. You are sending your money directly to the seller. These portals have no more your money.Poradicus wrote:I could imagine Amazon giving me a sad email saying sorry, we cannot return your money.
Why not? Every of us can use channel, which is interesting to him, to his pocket and which he can believe.Poradicus wrote:Thanks again TDF for supplying a list of vendors and manufacturers it has given me bitter sweet hope that there are great businesses that do wonderful things for customers.
Wise remark.haremlover wrote:It may be that a doll supplied with a security card is guaranteed to be a real Chinese doll, intended for the Chinese market and not the quality for export.
What are you awaiting by this?haremlover wrote:I have drawn the attention of Sam at WM to this thread and no doubt many will await his reply with significant interest.
Yes, this could be true. My seller was assured, that my first purchase will not be the last only.haremlover wrote: So for people buying an expected once-only doll it's really worth setting sights higher than the TPE market and the risks of the AliExpress market in particular.
No, Im not rich enough. EXACTLY THIS is the primary reason, why I do not want to pay one product twice.haremlover wrote:...and if you're rich enough, risk AliExpress.
So what I'm saying is that at the consumption of three dolls a year one might as well buy a silicone doll which will last many years.Fireball wrote: Maybe, this was the good reason, why I have got four pieces of genuine product, in the last 18 months.
... and now Im awaiting the fitfth one.
