Pihlajakoto Posted May 19, 2012 :/ I found my dream doll used on YJA and now she is coming home destroying my plans to enter lottery for Sakuya as now I cant pay for the +1000 euros Sakuya would take. Awww, thats bittersweet huh :< on the one hand you've got a dream doll which is great, but missing out on another doll you want which is not great. Out of curiosity who is the girl you're bringing home? For me, I've spoken to Danny, my fiancé and he has insisted that I enter the lottery for Sakuya. He is confident that even if I win Sakuya, if a good deal on Saber comes up we can afford her also. So I've placed my ticket. Wish me luck... I'm bringing Mai Shiranui with DD2 body home You have a nice fiancé. I hope you get Sakuya! (And that Saber comes along too). My blog Pihlajakoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquilla429 Posted May 19, 2012 Well I entered for Rise. I just hope that if I do win her, I don't get screwed for custom fees. Apparently I shouldn't but I just don't trust Customs. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! If you're in the UK like your location says you are, than there is a high chance that you will get hit by customs fees. Anything with a value over £15 (or £40 if marked as a gift) are liable to be charged for. I've never had an EMS parcel come through without charges on it, even for single small things, I've still be charged. The last time I imported a doll, I paid £78 in customs fees :< that was a couple of years ago, it may cost more these days. I know someone in London who paid over £100 in charges for Saber Lilly when Volks sent it to them. SAL seems to have less chance of being caught in my experience, but it does still happen every so often. As a UK buyer, I try to always make a mental allowance for customs fees because it almost always happens. On the odd occasion that it doesn't happen, I consider the money I set aside as a bonus.

Lulu Posted May 19, 2012 Customs info. Ahh thanks! Yep I am in the UK. The last time I paid customs was for a resin doll from Canada and it was £80. Your idea is good and HOPEFULLY I'll be able to do the same should I win. What is SAL? Standard Air (something) I'm assuming. Do you know if I can choose a shipping option or is it guaranteed to be EMS and that's it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know if I can choose a shipping option or is it guaranteed to be EMS and that's it? With DD's they're too large to ship SAL, which is Surface Air Lifted by the way, so they must ship EMS.

neurocidic Posted May 20, 2012 My best friend and persona fanatic like myself finally took the plunge and entered the lottery yesterday. I am trying to convince her to join the forum but she says she's not sure. Silly girl. Wishing her the best of luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquilla429 Posted May 20, 2012 This is my first time entering a lottery and to be honest I'm surprised at how patient I'm being. I thought I would be really impatient awaiting the results, but so far I'm not bothered at all. Funnily enough, Danny has been mentioning Sakuya more than I have lol, I think he might be upset if we don't win.

vegablack Posted May 21, 2012 Oh my god that wig looks great on her! I'm so happy I'll be getting her. All these pics would make me wanna cry if I wasn't. I really really really wanted to enter for Cirno but I'd have to use money I've been saving in case of a crisis or if I decide to move soon so I don't know if it's really a good idea...
