I contacted them and asked them why the over charge on shipping and they never responded. I recently contacted them regarding an actual shipping quote on a few thousand dollars worth of dolls, again no response. I happily took my business to ebay where I will at least get ebay bucks for future purchases.

MFD has really good deals on secondary market and sale dolls and Marg is a pleasure to deal with.Im a new collector and was kinda intimidated reading all the terms and conditions on the policy pages of these 2 sellers but 1 email was all it took for me to order and layaway stuff and they have a loyal repeat customer.That example of expecting a buyer to pay return shipping on a wrong item is just nuts!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-60702569499514228162010-07-22T11:46:55.708-04:002010-07-22T11:46:55.708-04:00I absolutelly love purchasing from Marge (My Favou...I absolutelly love purchasing from Marge (My Favourite Doll), I often pay more for shipping, just because of how special she makes me feel!!<br /><br />As for Chelsea Collector Cottage, I have to complain about their communication (almost inexistent, and rudeness too), and their shipping time... 2 times I purchased from them, both times packages took over 3 weeks to arrive to Portugal.<br /><br />I like to buy directly from the Integrity site, even though shipping could be a bit more fair, but I always get my packages in 5 to 6 days!<br /><br />Bic is another WONDERFULL place to buy from... shipping is very fast, Kazue is very nice to deal with.<br /><br />I was never successfull when contacting Susan's Shop of Dolls, so I never purchased from them.<br /><br />I have purchased onde from Gigi's Dolls & Sherry's Teddy Bears, they were really friendly and they shipp overseas, but too bad they don't have Paypal...

Very impressive. <br />Two Daydreamers never did anything awful to me, but they are aloof and sometimes even snappy and critical and they never had any idea who I was after 5+ years of loyal patronage--they even used completely false information about my order history in a snippy correspondence with me, leaving me sort-of confused and sad. Who needs it with so many other extraordinary people out there working hard to give you a perfect shopping experience??<br />Thank you to Lynn and George and Barrie and Ann and so many others who put in the time and effort to do it right. <br />I think these reviews are spot-on, Terri. Thank you for putting this together!<br /><br />Oh--and I can add that Carolyn at Sweetheart's Dolls in NY is lovely and nice and I have found a few treasures at her store. It is a bit cumbersome to place an order (you have to call it in, and this keeps me from ordering a lot at her store) but I would love to visit someday and shop there in person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-92085675921783029192010-07-22T04:59:19.226-04:002010-07-22T04:59:19.226-04:00Thanks alot Terry for this very useful list.
