DD Sailor Jupiter

I got my shipping notice for Jupiter! Can't wait for her to arrive home (≧▽≦)

I also received a shipping notice for the uniform, but not for Jupiter herself. 💖 This is so exciting!

Uniform shipped but doll hasn’t yet

Same here! I'm not really surprised, though, since I didn't order Jupiter until the day after release. I'm just hoping I don't have to wait too long for her.

My guess is they probably didn’t have enough room in the shipping truck for all of them.  I ordered the doll first but the uniform shipped first. Payment was processed at the same time for both

SMH No shipping notice today! Guess I'll have to wait til Monday. Congrats everyone, I expect tons of pics  

I got the notice for the uniform, but not Jupiter. When I check the tracking number it's on Shipment Information Received and it hasn't moved. I suspect that they are boxing them up and labeling them, but pickup won't happen until Monday in Japan. At that point Jupiter may be ready too. I ordered within 10 minutes of the event going live, and I ordered Jupiter first.

Hopefully they didn't get so many orders for her that they need a new production window, but I kind of doubt that. I tend to think they would run out of uniforms before they ran out of dolls.

That makes sense. I also ordered the doll first (in fact, had to order the outfit the following day due to website issues). I haven't checked my credit card online to see if payment was processed for the doll, too, but my order history shows "preparing," if I remember the wording correctly.

I got an email this morning and figured it was for Jupiter.  I was all excited all day.  Then I came home and read this post saying that people were getting mails for the outfit and not Jupiter herself.  I was like how do you know what it is?  There was no description in my email.  Wouldn't they ship the outfits and doll together?  

 

Then I remembered that I had to do TWO orders for her and her outfit.  I also realized that there were order numbers on the new email so I went and checked it and saw that my shipping notice is for the outfit.    Had my hopes dashed.

 

Ah well, such is life.  I too ordered Jupiter first and then her outfit, my order numbers show that by only being 6 numbers apart.  Hopefully I'll get my other email soon for her.

My orders were three minutes apart and 19 numbers, so they got a lot of orders in that window. I'll go out on a limb and guess that Jupiter's uniform will go out in a bubble wrap envelope, and is just easier to pack for shipment. That's probably why they are going faster than the dolls.

My fingers are crossed that I will wake up Monday to a shipping notice.

I don't know if they may have changed things, but I've never received a bubble envelope from either Volks location before. They usually just use a smaller box.

I have a few times, but it's always been with items that pack flat, so outfits and the like.

Makoto's outfit does contain shoes so it might be in a box because of that.

When I bought the Juuban uniform it was in a small box, though it had two pairs of shoes in it.

I'm pretty sure I'm remembering stuff I have gotten from Volks USA. I'm in the same state, and it's always been items that pack flat and won't be crushed. I don't think I've ever gotten an envelope from Japan.

I still expect the outfit is easier to pack than the doll box is.

For those of you waiting for e-mail notices you might want to check your account instead. I haven't received an e-mail notification for either the uniform or Jupiter but I do have the uniform in the 'Delivered' section with a working tracking number from DHL. Jupiter is still 'In Preparation' but I am patiently waiting since I didn't order her until much later.

For some reason, I didn't expect Volks to start shipping them this fast after the ordering period ended. I mean, they did put on their website that they would start shipping them in the later part of June but none of my orders from Volks have been this fast in their release date so I am nervously excited to get her soon haha! 😊

I'm so anxious lol! I ordered Jupiter right as she went up so I'm confused as to why mine hasn't shipped yet. I know DHL is really fast so it won't be that long of a wait, but I'm so excited to have her lol.

My DHL tracking updated and it has a delivery date of June 29th. Not sure if that will hold up as time passes, but I guess there is a chance it might be held up in Japan waiting for a flight for a few days.

I would expect the 29th to be accurate, i just had some video games come in from Japan via dhl yesterday, it took 9 days

Is this for the outfit or for the doll? I got a confirmation e-mail and text from DHL that they will be delivering the outfit on Monday. From recent experiences, I haven't suffered any delay from their part even with the current situation (they typically deliver in 2-3 days, excluding weekends). I guess it varies from area to area. Hopefully, it does change and you receive your items early.

My order for Jupiter was updated yesterday with only the uniform being shipped, several hours later DD Jupiter is shipped too!
I'm excited ^^

I also just got the email confirmation that Mako-chan is on her way! Yaaayyyyy!!!! So excited! 😆 Now hoping customs will be nice to her. I know they won't be nice to me with extra fees hahaha 😅

Both have now shipped for me too

It’s the outfit. So far it hasn’t t moved from Osaka. 
 

The last thing I received only took two days, which is more like what I expect. 
 

Got my shipping notice for Jupiter this morning. 

I got my shipping notice for Jupiter this morning, yay! What's funny is that according to DHL, the label was printed on the 16th...and they took all this time to notify me? lerkhgblehrg Stressing me out for no reason like this, rude.

Mine says the same thing. It’s possible that Volks made the labels ahead of packing the boxes for shipment. 
 

I would also expect any social distancing requirements to be slowing down shipping.
