A few minutes of care during delivery and inspection can decide between a silky purchase and a stressful dispute, which is why experienced customers follow the precise process in the checklist below every time. Not complex, but easily skipped in the excitement; customers who skip it end up with a damaged doll and no recourse. Inspect the Box Before You Sign Look over the box before you sign the delivery receipt. Most people skip this step because they're enthusiastic and in a hurry, even though it's the single most vital one. Before opening a box that's crushed, torn, dented or wet, photograph it from multiple angles. Because the shipping company's liability ends when you sign for the delivery, they'll deny any later claim if you signed for a damaged box without documenting it. A few photos taken in thirty seconds can save you hundreds of pounds. When the Courier Won't Wait Your signature is the point of no return. Once you sign, you're accepting the delivery as received in decent condition, and any damage that wasn't documented at the time becomes your complication rather than the shipping company's. With a damaged-looking box you may refuse delivery, or sign as "damaged", which keeps your right to claim. If inspection before signing is refused by the courier, the one thing you can do is sign with a note saying "unchecked" or "signed without inspection". Open It the Right Way Prudently does it when you open the box, once it's inside and you've documented any evident damage. Rather than tearing into the cardboard, use a knife or scissors along the tape, as a careless opening can scratch or cut the doll inside. Remove the doll slowly, checking as you go, and don't discard the packaging until you've completed the inspection, because you may need it to return the doll if something is mistaken. Check One: Tears in the Armpits, Groin and Neck Check for tears in the armpits, groin, and neck first. These regions have the thinnest material, which is why damage is most typical here during shipping. You can check the armpits by gently lifting the arms, the groin by slowly moving the legs apart, and the neck by gently turning the head. Should there be any tears, photograph them right away and contact the seller before doing anything else. Small tears can be repaired, but a tear that's been ignored or worsened can become a much larger complication. Individual Finger Checks Fingers are the second thing to check. Look to see that every finger is intact, that the joints move smoothly and that the material shows no evident breaks or tears. Especially with wire-frame hands, a finger that's been damaged in transit is a common issue, and it's much easier to resolve if it's reported right away. Each finger should be checked individually, and each joint bent gently to confirm it moves freely. Report Both Problems The third thing to check is the standing feet bolts, if your doll has them. Check that both bolts are present, secure and not loose, and that they're not protruding through the sole of the foot. Both are worth reporting, since a missing bolt is a manufacturing defect and a loose bolt is a safety issue. Present and secure bolts mean you can move on to the next check. Photograph Any Mismatch The fourth thing to check is the head sculpt. Confirm a match between the head that arrived and the photos of the head you ordered. Head swaps are more common than you'd think, which makes a mismatched head a legitimate complaint, obvious as it sounds. Check the face shape, the eye colour, the makeup, and the overall expression, and if anything doesn't match, photograph it and contact the seller. Move Every Joint Through Its Full Range Fifth, check the joints. Each joint should be moved through its full range of motion, with everything moving smoothly without grinding, squeaking, or resistance. Don't worry about a stiff joint, which is normal, but a joint that's grinding or feels like it's catching is a fault. Report any issue you find, documented, before you use the doll; using a doll with a flawed joint can make the difficulty worse and may void your assurance. No Easy Fix After Use Your sixth check is the body proportions. The waist, hips, bust and height should match what you ordered, so measure the doll against the advertised measurements. A legitimate complaint is a doll that's the wrong size, and manufacturing errors take place. Purchasers who ordered a custom size should take particular care, as there's no easy way to fix a size mistake once the doll has been used. Sizable Patches Are a Defect The seventh item on the list is the skin texture and finish. Uneven regions, discolouration and evident seams are what to look for, and the skin should look consistent across the whole body. A fault is large patches of discolouration or apparent seams, while some minor variation is typical. Troubled? Contact the seller, and photograph anything that looks incorrect. A Mismatch Is a Legitimate Complaint An eighth check, a wig and eye inspection, deserves doing. Colour and style of the wig, colour and setting of the eyes: all need to match what you ordered. Though these are smaller details, they're part of what you paid for, and a mismatch is a legitimate complaint. You should photograph the wig and eyes clearly and compare them to the order confirmation before you contact the retailer. Some Texture Is Normal Your ninth check is the overall feel of the doll. Go over the body with your hands, feeling for any lumps, hard spots, or inconsistencies in the material. Texture, to a degree, is usual, but an uneven doll or one with hard patches is faulty. This matters especially for silicone dolls, which should feel smooth and consistent, and for TPE dolls, which should feel soft and pliable without any hard spots. Missing Accessories Are Common Don't forget the accessories and any additional items that came with the order, which is the tenth check. Order included a spare wig, a storage bag, or a cleaning kit? Then everything has to be present and in decent condition. They're much easier to resolve if you report them immediately rather than discovering them weeks later, and missing accessories are common. Packaging as Evidence The packaging itself is an eleventh check that's frequently overlooked. For at least thirty days, keep the original box and any internal packaging, as most returns and assurance claims need it. A doll returned in different packaging is frequently refused by the seller, and a doll shipped back in original packaging is much more likely to arrive in good condition. Because you may need it, label the box obviously with the date of arrival and store it somewhere dry. A Good Seller Resolves It Quickly Before you contact the retailer, document everything if you find any issues. Take photographs of the damage, hold onto the packaging, and note down precisely what you found and when you found it. Get in touch with the vendor immediately, describe the issue obviously, and include the photographs. Vendors who don't resolve issues rapidly after an early, evidenced report are the ones you want to stay away from in the future anyway; most do. Four Things Not to Do The doll typically isn't fine inside a crushed box, so don't sign for it and assume it is. Discarding the packaging before you've completed the inspection is an oversight, since you'll need it if you have to return the doll. Before you've completed the inspection, don't use the doll, as employing a damaged doll can void the assurance. Proving the damage was there from the start gets harder the longer you wait, so don't wait to report an issue. Card Providers Side With Evidence There's also the question of what to do if the vendor refuses to honour an assurance claim that you believe is legitimate. In that situation, the documentation you collected during the unboxing is your strongest asset, and it's worth escalating carefully. A written message rather than a phone call gives you a record of what was said and when, so contact the seller that way and include all the photographs and a clear description of the flaw. When the retailer still refuses and you paid by credit card, contact your card provider and request a chargeback. The evidence needs to be documented and timely, yet most card providers will side with the buyer where there's clear evidence of a flaw and a refusal to resolve it. Flaw Versus Damage One more question: what does the warranty actually cover? Not all warranties are the same. Manufacturing flaws, for instance tears at the seams, joint failures, and material defects, are what most assurances cover, whereas misuse, accidents and normal wear and tear are excluded. A claim that's clearly a defect will be honoured, while one that's obviously user error will be rejected, so understanding the difference between a flaw and damage is significant. Everything being covered is not a given just because the doll was pricey, so read the assurance carefully before you buy. Your Purchase Safeguard The bottom line is that the unboxing checklist takes about thirty minutes and is the single best protection for your purchase. Vendor and shipping company are both still liable only at the moment of delivery, so that's when the checklist documents the condition of the doll. The most widespread cause of buyer disputes can be prevented if you take it seriously and do it properly.
