Between a silky purchase and a stressful dispute, the difference can be a few minutes of care during delivery and inspection, and the checklist below is the exact process experienced customers follow every time. Not complex, but readily skipped in the excitement; purchasers who skip it end up with a damaged doll and no recourse. Before the Receipt, Check the Box Signing the delivery receipt comes after inspecting the box. Because they're enthusiastic and in a hurry, most people skip this, the single most essential step. Crushed, torn, dented or wet? Photograph the box before you open it, and do so from multiple angles. Your signature on the delivery ends the shipping company's liability, and a damaged box signed for without documentation means any claim you make later will be denied. Thirty seconds and a few photos can save you hundreds of pounds. When the Courier Won't Wait Signing is the point of no return. By signing you accept the delivery as received in decent condition, and any damage that wasn't documented at the time becomes your issue rather than the shipping company's. A damaged-looking box gives you the right to refuse delivery or sign as "damaged", and either way your right to claim is maintained. 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". Keep the Packaging Until the Inspection Is Done Once the box is inside and you've documented any apparent damage, open it prudently. Don't tear into the cardboard; use a knife or scissors along the tape, since a careless opening can scratch or cut the doll inside. If something is wrong you may need the packaging to return the doll, so don't discard it until you've completed the inspection, and remove the doll slowly, checking as you go. Armpits, Groin and Neck First Tears in the armpits, groin, and neck: that's the first thing to check. In these zones the material is thinnest, and shipping damage is at its most common. 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. When you find tears, photograph them straight away and contact the vendor before you do anything else. It's possible to repair small tears, but a tear that's been ignored or worsened can become a much larger problem. Fingers One at a Time 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 visible breaks or tears. It's much easier to resolve if it's reported right away, and a finger that's been damaged in transit is a typical issue, especially with wire-frame hands. Check each finger individually, and bend each joint gently to confirm it moves freely. Moving On When the Bolts Are Fine Third, check the standing feet bolts, if your doll has them. Make sure they're not protruding through the sole of the foot, and that both bolts are present, secure, and not loose. A missing bolt is a manufacturing fault, and a loose bolt is a safety issue, so both are worth reporting. The next check awaits if the bolts are present and secure. Check Four: The Head Sculpt Your fourth check should be the head sculpt. Make sure they match: compare the head that arrived with the photos of the head you ordered. It sounds plain; even so, head swaps are more usual than you'd think, and a mismatched head is a legitimate complaint. Check the face shape, eye colour, makeup and overall expression; if something doesn't match, photograph it and contact the seller. When a Joint Catches The fifth thing to check is the joints. Put each joint through its full range of motion and make sure everything moves smoothly, with no grinding, squeaking, or resistance. A stiff joint is ordinary; a grinding joint, or one that feels like it's catching, is a defect. Using a doll with a defective joint can make the problem worse and may void your warranty, so if you find a problem, document it and report it before you use the doll. Confirm the Dimensions 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. Manufacturing errors do take place, making a doll that's the wrong size a legitimate complaint. Custom size purchasers in particular need this, since a size error has no simple fix once the doll has been used. Sizable Patches Are a Defect The seventh thing to check is the skin texture and finish. Look over the whole body to make sure the skin looks consistent, watching for uneven areas, discolouration, or noticeable seams. Some slight variation is normal; large patches of discolouration, or evident seams, are a fault. Photograph whatever looks mistaken; if you're troubled, contact the seller. Wig and Eye Inspection The eighth check, a wig and eye inspection, is worth doing. Make sure the wig is the colour and style you ordered, and that the eyes are the correct colour and properly set. They're part of what you paid for, so a mismatch is a legitimate complaint, small details as they are. Obviously photograph the wig and eyes and compare them with the order confirmation, then contact the retailer. Uneven or Hard Patches Are a Defect The ninth check is the overall feel of the doll. Use your hands to feel over the body for any lumps, hard spots or inconsistencies in the material. You can expect some texture, but a doll that feels uneven or has hard patches is a flaw. Silicone should feel smooth and consistent while TPE should feel soft and pliable without any hard spots, which makes this especially major for both. Don't Discover It Weeks Later Anything extra that came with the order, accessories included, gets checked tenth. Present and in good condition: that's what everything should be if you ordered a spare wig, a storage bag, or a cleaning kit. They're much easier to resolve if you report them immediately rather than discovering them weeks later, and missing accessories are common. Original Packaging Protects the Return The packaging itself is an eleventh check that's regularly overlooked. The original box and any internal packaging should be kept for at least thirty days, since most returns and warranty claims require it. The seller frequently refuses a doll returned in different packaging, and one shipped back in original packaging is much more likely to arrive in great condition. Because you may need it, label the box plainly with the date of arrival and store it somewhere dry. Building Your Case Documenting everything should come before contacting the vendor if you find any issues. Photographs of the damage, the packaging kept, and a written note of exactly what you found and when: that's the evidence to gather. Get in touch with the retailer immediately, describe the issue obviously, and include the photographs. You want to stay away from the retailers who don't in the future regardless; most will resolve issues swiftly if you report them early and supply evidence. Slip-ups That Cost Buyers Claims It generally isn't fine inside, so don't sign for a crushed box and assume it is. You'll need the packaging if you have to return the doll, so don't discard it until you've completed the inspection. Hold off on utilising the doll until you've completed the inspection, 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. Plan B: The Chargeback Now and then a seller refuses to honour an assurance claim you believe is legitimate, which raises the question of what to do next. The documentation you collected during the unboxing is your strongest asset in that scenario, and it's worth escalating carefully. Contact the vendor in writing rather than by phone, so you have a record of what was said and when, and include all the photographs and a clear description of the defect. Request a chargeback from your card provider if the retailer still refuses, offered the purchase was made with a credit card. Documented and timely evidence is what card providers need, and given clear evidence of a defect and a refusal to resolve it, most will side with the customer. Flaw Versus Damage Also worth asking is what the assurance in fact covers, since not all warranties are the same. Covered by most warranties are manufacturing faults such as tears at the seams, joint failures, and material defects; not covered is damage caused by misuse, accidents, or typical wear and tear. Fault claims that are clear will be honoured and user slip-up claims that are clear will be rejected, which is why the difference between a fault and damage is significant to understand. Everything being covered is not a given just because the doll was expensive, so read the assurance prudently before you acquire. Documenting Condition at the Moment of Delivery The unboxing checklist takes about thirty minutes and is the single best protection for your purchase, which is the bottom line. What the checklist does is document the doll's condition at the moment of delivery, the one moment the vendor and the shipping company are both still liable. Avoiding the most typical cause of buyer disputes comes down to taking it seriously and doing it properly.
