Frequently asked questions
01What do first-time buyers regret most?
Most commonly weight and storage: the doll is heavier or harder to hide and move than expected. Choosing a lighter or smaller model, and measuring your storage space first, avoids this.
02How long does the buying process take?
Research can take days, production for custom orders often takes weeks, and shipping adds more time. Confirm the seller's stated production and delivery times in writing.
