Frequently asked questions
01What is the most common mistake?
Underestimating weight and storage needs. Many buyers focus on faces and options and only later realise the doll is hard to lift, clean and hide.
02Can I return a doll if I regret the purchase?
Usually only for defects or shipping damage, not change of mind, because of hygiene. Read the store's return terms before paying.
