DD Sakura Miku

In the "number of payments" option, since I've seen it three times now, can I actually use that or will Volks make me pay upfront anyway? 8D

I wonder if it'll be like this on the USA site tomorrow?!

With only 39 available I now live in fear. I just cannot even get to the homepage on my laptop nor phone.

Has it ever been like this before? I’ve never bought any sort of Dollfie before and I’ve been trying to get in for probably 15 minutes now. I got to the home page twice but have been unable to get in further. I registered earlier today anticipating competition, but I haven’t been trying to get into a website like this since trying to buy New York Comic Con tickets.  

It's always been bad though from reading here this may be worse.

What's maybe extra ridiculous is presumably part of the reason they completely redid the webstore was to improve this situation, or at least I'd have thought that.

I was able to get to the "choose payment" screen before, but now I can't even get to there. Between the anxiety of trying to justify this in my thin, crepe-like budget and the high-end stress of trying to actually obtain Miku, I feel like I'm going to die. =_=;;

once on home page, do you click on the event add to get in?

@Stinkerbell godspeed and good luck.

I've been at this for 42 minutes. I MADE IT _THROUGh_ tHE PAYPAL SCREENS AND GOT AN ERROR AND HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN. Sorry for yelling so much but I haven't slept more than a few hours in the last few days and this is standing between me and sleep. I'm bout ready to give it up honestly. >.>;;

Help!! Everytime I see the Add for her I get kicked off... can't get past homepage...yell LOUDLY!!!!!

@Stinkerbell just keep refreshing, eventually it will kick you to the next step in the process. I've been trying to get her for nearly an hour now, hang in there! I believe!!

My biggest problem now is it seems they don’t like my address... Help! Advice! Please!

@Marcecloud What is it saying is wrong with your address? I... realize that is a potentially difficult thing to answer without divulging said address, but if you tell me what part it doesn't like I might be able to help!

 

EDIT:// Ahh, "what part" as in "the error message" and not "a chunk of your address" !!! That was very vague I'm sorry I'm very tired

Zip code. I’m in Pennsylvania and have to use a PO Box so I’m almost okay with posting the full thing if needed.

I think I recall someone posting somewhere that the zip code was an issue. The answer was to remove it and add it as a comment to the order.

Oof I don't know if Volks ships to PO boxes, this is my first time. Hopefully someone more experienced than I can inform ;^;

sobbing why is volks' website so broken

I’m trying the comment thing now. I usually provide my street address anyway, but most international ends up at the post office. 

Here is the quote from Khell on Den of Angels.

Go to edit your shipping address information and remove the ZIP code. There seems to be some kind of issue with that. I did that last time I ordered stuff and it worked fine. Just put it in the order comment or somewhere else in your address information what your ZIP code is.

Good luck to everyone that manages to get her friends, I think I'm out. I like her a lot, but I have made it to the final step of checking out, past paypal, only to hit the connection errors that start the whole process over again five times now. (I've never managed to get there using the card, I've been trying both intermittently because MIGHT AS WELL.) I just want to sleep ;-;

If anyone ever wants to part with a Sakura Miku head, eyes, or wig, let me know. OTL

I don't think you can use the card. Pretty sure that option is Japan only. I would definitely check in the morning, she might still be there. As bad as the traffic is a big chunk of it will be for the SDs.

@BeyondTime I appreciate the encouragement, it's hard for me to justify her cost and I have some Money Anxieties so it's made me extra grumpy. I need sleep, I haven't slept more than a few hours in the last few days. Goodnight friends ^^;

The card as in credit card? I’ve been trying to use that. I have a paypal but thought card would be easier.

Edit: What does this mean?

"Settlement other than simultaneous settlement is not supported."

I’ve never seen that before, but I am pretty sure the credit card with multiple payment option is Japan only. I think outside of Japan it’s PayPal only. 

You can pick a card inside PayPal.

I only got that since trying to use PayPal so I’m super confused now... 😣

Volks Japan webstore reimplemented credit card payment a while ago, so unless it's different for these dolls you should be able to pay with card, not just Paypal.

There is a credit card option that lets you make multiple payments over several months. I am pretty sure that option is Japan only.

Are you trying to use a PayPal balance with part of the charge on a card through PayPal?

Probably. This thread moves too fast; I was commenting on this:

...where I thought you were saying you can't use a card to pay for these dolls, but only Paypal. That shouldn't be the case but with Volks who knows.
