How the bottle arrives — delivery, prices and stock

I do not ship anything

No parcel ever leaves this shelf. Every doll described here is dispatched by the shop on the listing you reach through the buy button, under their delivery terms, at their speed, to the countries they serve. Delivery questions can only be answered by them.

Why a price can differ

The number on a card is the price I read on the listing when I last updated that room, and the date is printed at the foot of every page. Prices on these toys move often — seasonal demand, a new seller, a licence ending. Treat my figure as a guide to the bracket a doll sits in, and the listing as the price you will actually pay.

Shipping, tax and anything a shop adds at checkout are not included in my figure, because I have no way to see them.

Reading availability

Where a listing tells me a doll is in stock, out of stock or low, I pass that on. It can go stale within hours. Licensed clothing and Disney outfits disappear fastest; the surprise capsules come back most reliably.

If a doll you want has gone, the room page is the useful place to stand: the dolls beside her share her mechanism and her size, and one of them is usually the same toy in a different set of pyjamas.

Returns

Handled entirely by the shop you bought from, under their own policy and clock. Keep the box until the batteries have been in and the tears have run once — that is when a fault shows up.
