My name is Susan G., Frollein Suzy, from Germany. I’m having troubles to reach Clare M. from Ireland, known as ShimmyImmie♥ on Flickr. January 15th I’ve contacted Clare regarding a Tinkerina custom, which she offered in the “Dolly Adoption” Facebook group. Please see below for our full conversation. Summary: We agreed on a price of 280 EUR that included shipping, I paid immediately through Paypal on January 15th and she promised to send the next Monday, which was January 20th. We also agreed on getting tracking for security reasons. As I haven’t heard anything from her I contacted Clare on January 21st to see if the doll has been shipped. She answered two days later, telling me that indeed she posted the doll but that her purse has been snatched which contained the receipt for sending. She asked me to wait for her getting an replacement ID which will allow her to ask for tracking at the postal office. When the doll had not arrived by February 1st I mailed her again to ask for a tracking number. I did not get a reply fromr her and messaged again on February 7th, to which she answeed that she will get her new ID soon, that the doll is fully insured and that I would be fully refunded if the doll is not showing up. I answered that I’m okay waiting for another week. After that I haven’t heard back anything and Clare didn’t answer my mails from February 14th or 19th.
Due her silence towards me, I saw it necessary to open a case with Paypal. Which I did on 20th of February - one month after the doll had been posted. As I didn’t get any reaction from her after opening the case (what I had hoped for), I requested “Käuferschutz” (Paypal buyer protection) on February 24th and also wrote to her once again. Which was also unanswered.
I still wish that we can resolve this and I hope to hear back from Clare soon!

Hi, I have 280 EURO left. So if you are willing to include shipping to Germany I would take her for this price. I can pay immediately. Hugs, Susan

Thank you! Money received I will be shipping her Monday for you. Do you require tracking?

tracking would be great, I dont know if its expensive in UK. But it would be better, so we both have a secure that it arrives. What do you mean?

Yes certainly tracking would be best it isn't very expensive!

Happy Tuesday. Have you shipped her? (I know I'm totally impatient, sorry.)

Hello there! No worries you aren't impatient at all! My apologies for the lack of contact. She was indeed shipped to you! I did get her tracked but after going to the post office I had my bag snatched, which contained all the receipts for the items I posted (along with lots of other special things as you can imagine). If you can bear with me I'm just waiting on my replacement ID arriving and then Ill be allowed to ask for tracking info very sorry if I cause you worry!

Hi, I want to let you know that she did not arrived until now. I hope for next week. Maybe it would be a good idea to ask for the tracking number if possible. I hope you get all your things back, I cant imagine how it sucks to lost everything in my bag.

Hi, another week and no doll arrived. Normally it takes 1 or 1,5 week from England. I'm afraid she got lost. What should we do?

ShimmyImmie♥
Hi there! Im so sorry she hasn't arrived to you yet. As I'm not in mainland england (I live in Ireland!) It can take longer to reach Europe but this is worrying. Tracking for my new photographic ID tells me I will have it tomorrow so I will call to the postal service and request the replacement tracking. She is fully insured so if the worst has happened you will be fully refunded. I'm so sorry for your wait!

Oh, Ireland, I never was there. We wait another week, maybe you can get the tracking and then we will know where she is.
