youth Posted June 23, 2020 Only ordered Jupiter. She left Volks at 10:26am Saturday & got delivered today Monday at 1:20pm via DHL. Was suppose to be signature delivery, but she was just left sitting in the vestibule of the apartment building for several hours until I got home. Probably some covid-19 protocol. Thankful that package theft isn't really a problem here, but I still didn't want to risk it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delivery drivers have been given the OK to deliver without signature. It’s to protect them from infection from all the people they would normally contact during their day.

Was googling this morning to see what their coronavirus policy was with signature delivery, but couldn't find any info. I've had previous packages delivered via DHL the past 3 months, but I've always replied "yes" to to their text allowing signature release. 28 minutes ago, Tokimemofan said: Didn’t even know they were doing EMS. Mine shipped DHL, one has both are at the customs preclearance step EMS is still operating to some countries. I'm glad Volks is not charging extra to ship DHL to the USA though. It's gotta cost at least 30% more to ship with them vs EMS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galvatim Posted June 23, 2020 My Jupiter shipped with DHL this weekend, and is scheduled for next Monday, too. She's in the US already, I wouldn't be surprised by an early delivery. I have family members who are home all day, so I've always opted to wave the signature. Hopefully Jupiter doesn't mind shipping, since @mitsuki and I will be sharing joint custody of her. She'll have to travel from one end of the country to the other every weekend. (I'm kidding, we're not actually doing that. Jupiter is going to mitsuki's shortly after arrive, though.)

Ylse Posted June 23, 2020 Does that mean they had enough to fulfill all the pre-orders? They don't always sell in store after events or pre-orders right? Not entirely sure 😅 My Instagram 😬: https://www.instagram.com/ylse_marije/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ylse Posted June 23, 2020 4 hours ago, Tokimemofan said: They did guarantee that all orders within the preorder period would be fulfilled Probably worded it a bit wrong 😅 Like that they have a set amount "ready" and when pre-orders exceed that amount more will be made(?). So I was thinking that maybe the pre-orders didn't exceed the amount of dolls already made? Not entirely sure how it is all done since this is only my second pre-order after Mash 😅 Also my Jupiter is still in limbo. Probably already arrived in the Netherlands but tracking hasn't been updated 😴 My Instagram 😬: https://www.instagram.com/ylse_marije/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That thought had occurred to me, but in general I think Volks assigns a percentage of the dolls for the Dolpa, a percentage for the After Event, and a percentage for Volks USA. They also seem to hold back a few for lottery events at future Dolpa. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

MichelleAK Posted June 23, 2020 I received the school outfit yesterday, but still no shipping confirmation for Jupiter herself. I'm going to check my account this evening if I don't receive an email today. If the status still shows she hasn't been shipped, I'm going to assume I missed the first group and will have to wait for the "second wave." That would be disappointing, but I waited a year for Snow Miku, so I'm good at waiting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know someone who ordered within the last few hours of the event and it shipped right along with the rest of the international packages that went out over the weekend. I don't think they exceeded orders based on that but if you waited until the very last minute it's possible 😅 1 *Yuzu* DDS Yaya *Yuuko* DDIII Aozaki Aoko *Sakura* DDII Uryuu Sakuno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to the details it means 'The shipment is awaiting the next scheduled movement' so I'm assuming they're just waiting for a plane going the same way or something.

baldylox Posted June 23, 2020 Add me to the group of Jupiters sitting in Ohio! I can just imagine all our girls in their boxes going "Hello? Where are YOU going? I'm headed to SC! You're going to Virginia? Cool!" All happy and chatty as they wait to head to their new homes! Billy 1 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.
