Minty Posted January 23, 2015 Volks sent out another email (to full payees) about the regular Miku pre-orders. Those who placed orders from October 2013: We are currently planning to deliver your pre-orders by middle March 2015. I hope that includes me, since I ordered in November. It's nearly February; not too much longer to go! ...if all goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mangaemi Posted January 24, 2015 So apparently for those of who did a down payment we have until February 13th to pay Miku off in full. My husband isn't going to like this since they said Late march is when they'd get her, and now we have a short window to pony up. scratch that, he planned for that early date phewww Volks should have been open to let people make payments throughout the whole year, but oh well ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mangaemi Posted January 29, 2015 Can anyone that paid for Miku in full via VolksUSA let me know what the shipping was that they charged you in full...? Because at the time of the original deposit their VolksUSA store auto charged 23$ for shipping... now when you take the items to checkout it adds another 20.26$ to the total. I just want to make sure of this before I email VolksUSA.

Cauldroness Posted January 29, 2015 Volks should have refunded you the shipping cost ($23.57) after you placed your initial order. For me, they charged shipping, and then refunded that amount a few days later. Maybe check your credit card / debit card records? Doll Photos & Doll Jewelry Sales: Follow me on Instagram!

Talolili Posted February 15, 2015 Did anyone pre-order the limited Miku items from Volks USA (hands, body suits)? My order is completely gone from my history and I didn't even know until today. I sent them an email about it but I know it could be a long time before I hear anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berettapunk Posted February 15, 2015 Good lord that's frightening. Sorry to hear but no. I want to check on my actual pre ordered miku now, again, cuz she still hasn't arrived and they told me February but I haven't been notified of her being sent out yet it's hard waiting a year and a half...

mangaemi Posted February 15, 2015 All the February shipments got bumped to March because of the Los Angeles port strike... Yeah I was gonna say... OMG WHAT I GET HER "EARLY"?!?! ...that's the reason why I paid on the very last day... XD I figured wth, it doesn't matter if they're all going to be shipped at the end of March. ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skaf Posted February 18, 2015 called it. I'm just assuming end of June at this rate. geez. Yeah, I just read the mail myself. I'm definitely not going to preorder anything from Volks USA again. They really should offer some kind of compensation for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subaru Posted February 18, 2015 This port strike is the worst that anyone has seen in years, I've worked in logististics and this sort of this is a nightmare. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-kantor-ports-slowdown-labor-perez-20150217-story.html I just pray that everything is solved quickly.

Talolili Posted February 18, 2015 I heard that the negotiations fell through earlier on the news but I haven't been keeping up with well with the situation myself. Regarding my earlier post, I heard back from Volks USA and they do still have my order confirmed and explained that *maybe* my history vanished since the items were limited and aren't in the system any longer. Still, it's pretty scary to think about any order getting lost. I imagine it's going to be a long wait for these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yukamina Posted February 20, 2015 Congrats, I love how that blue and white wig looks on her! I got my Miku in October, but her wig was defective... after lots and lots of waiting Volks finally sent a replacement, I'm so relieved. Well, it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm relieved they sent a replacement and didn't just say the old one was good enough. Communication was so slow...

mangaemi Posted March 13, 2015 Is it possible their site closing on Monday is bc they're getting ready to ship out a lot of Mikus and then post the ones that are left over from non payers? Kinda hoping so. ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cauldroness Posted March 17, 2015 I just got the notice that they're finally going to ship out the last back of Mikus. Orders will be shipped out in the order they have been received. Wonder how long it'll take them to get to the end of line... since my order was right before pre-orders ended. Will I get Miku before April? Doubting it...

berettapunk Posted March 17, 2015 It's very diffucult to encourage non dollfie owning friends to indulge themselves in the hobby when 1. Prices are quite steep 2. They see the people who are loyal dollfie owners being trolled for living in North america. ^_^; Please volks! Deliver unto us our prized girls! That being said, taking bets on who arrives first, miku or Jesus XD OMG WHERE ARE THEY ALL COMING FROM?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, taking bets on who arrives first, miku or Jesus XD It's an extreme luxury hobby so not everyone got money. Pretty much all large scale dolls are expensive but the standard dolls are at least reasonable from a Doll collecting perspective. ^^; I don't understand why so many collectors here think Volks dislikes the US or treats it poorly. O.o It's my understanding the Volks USA shop is just an extra dedicated shop that only US customers can use. You also have Volks international site as well, which many US customers did use and now have their Miku's. There's been many times when I'd have loved to have bought something from the US store particularly during the years when everything was 33% cheaper than in the Volks JP/Int store. That said I do hope your Miku arrives soon, but I don't think it's entirely Volk's fault as most US based stores take a few extra months to get stock in from Japan which has always been the case with the Volks US store.
