8 medium size (16") pumpkin dolls and 20 new minis/pumpkins babies (4") will be available in my shop on October 30th at 8 PM CEST (Swedish time). (Half hour later at 8:30 PM the custom order slots are for sale). You can already check out all the listings in my shop. There is a countdown clock in my Instagram story, but you can also check the time you received this email and round it off to the nearest hour - that will be the time the ready-to-ship dolls are for sale in exactly 1 day.
As usual, I will take down the listings about 15 minutes before they are actually for sale. So then when they reappear in the shop at 8 PM CEST and it says that one is SOLD OUT - it actually means it has already been sold. Updating the shop this way should prevent any glitches (I have had a listing sell one too many when I adjusted the inventory numbers while the listing is up).
SHIPPING
If you have bought from me before with standard free shipping (USA, UK, Australia, Canada, most of Europe and many more), your shipping cost for max 2 minis is 130 sek (around 15 usd). For Sweden it's 60 sek. This of course includes a tracking number. You'll only pay for shipping separately when you only buy a mini (or 2) - if you also buy a medium size doll, the shipping is "free" (aka, included in the price of the medium size doll).
The minis will be shipped in a small cardboard box (so ignore what I said about envelopes in that Instagram post a few weeks ago). No worries about them getting damaged in the mail, they will be safe.
If you have bought from me before with DHL being your only option (like Puerto Rico), I unfortunately cannot offer a reasonable shipping price to you for the minis. I strongly suggest you only get a mini if you're also getting a medium size doll, to save on the expensive shipping. Or if you are planning to adopt a larger doll in the future, you can always ask me to make you another mini then.
How long you'll have to wait for your package varies a lot, especially outside the EU. This is mostly because customs depots sometimes have more mail than they can handle. If you're in the USA for example, keep in mind that it could take anywhere from 2-8 weeks. Usually it's around 3-4 weeks, but I cannot guarantee it. The only shipping option that will guarantee you'll have it in a week is DHL, but they are very expensive (for some it's over a 100 usd). Despite the insane prices, I have made it an option during checkout for everyone. For some countries like Puerto Rico and Mexico, DHL is still the only option unfortunately, nothing has changed there.
If you are new here and not sure if I ship to your country, please check my FAQ and go to the Shipping section. There you will find a list of countries that has free shipping included when buying a medium size doll. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
ADDITIONAL INFO MINIS
I have updated the listing info for the minis a bit since yesterday. The main thing you should know if you already read it yesterday, is that they do not come with any sort of certificate and they don't have a tag or signature on them.
Max 2 minis per person!
If the minis sell out, I might be able to make a couple more in November. I'll have to see how it goes, but feel free to ask about this. And iff you have any more questions about the new minis, please ask! I respond quickest via Instagram (direct message, I can miss comments).
CUSTOM ORDERS / PLANS REST OF THE YEAR
I plan to devote the entirety of November to custom orders, so I'll be able to take on 8 orders for a small/medium/large pumpkin (max 1 slot per person) - no custom options for the new minis. But if you missed out on the minis and want one alongside a custom order, then I make one of the existing styles for you. Again, custom order slots will be for sale at October 30th at 8:30 PM CEST, which is half an hour after the ready-to-ship dolls. If you want 2 custom dolls you can always ask, but I cannot promise anything yet.
I will handle the custom orders in the order I see them appear on my website, so the faster you are, the sooner it'll be your turn. But otherwise no need to be frantic with 8 slots available.
Please keep in mind that these custom orders might take longer to arrive than usual (especially the ones I finish last), because of the holiday season coming up. I absolutely cannot promise your custom order will arrive before Christmas, unless you choose shipping with DHL.
In December my shop will be closed, because I don't like to take part in the Christmas madness that overloads postal workers everywhere (plus, December is my birthday month). So after taking on custom orders for November, the following shop update will be in January or February.
MORE GENERAL INFO
If you are new to my work in general and want to know more about how much they move etc, I recommend reading The Dolls page (under About) and watching the Posing & Care Tips video on there/below. I also have an FAQ page you can check out.
The adopted dolls from the October 30th drop will be sent off within 3 business days.
Thank you all so much for your continued support!
