Dollyhair slowdown?

[princeichi]

I know the website currently says there will be a delay in shipping of upwards to 2 weeks now due to short handedness, but has anyone else gotten hair yet they ordered this month? I hope I'm not the only one neurotically checking my e-mail 3 or 4 times a day now.

I'm leaving for college soon and worried I won't get my hair shipment on time. I ordered on the 7th or the 8th. Figures as this is my first time ordering too LOL.

Do slow downs like this happen often?




Not sure if this is the correct board, I couldn't pick between trader support or customs. Please move this if I'm incorrect.

I know everyone has different experiences but honestly, I've never had an issue. I haven't ordered recently but I placed an order the last week of June and had my hair within a week.

You could try emailing Tina and asking for an ETA. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

With the new stock coming in, they might be a little slow.

 I hope it arrives soon!

Okay, I'll try that! Thank you. c:

my last 2 orders , and a firend of mine , who im not sure if she is on this froum,  has ordred as well,

the orderes have been taken 3 weeks longer to arive than  previous orders,
also  we have both had  fairly  inconsistant  items in both our orders.

im not complainig as im aware that this can happen from time to time ,  but ive noticed , uneven cuts, uneven portions *some hanks have had way less then others*  and  epic staic fizzing  right from the bags.

all my past orders have been fine, the last 2  have had a few issues. but  not anything that would put me off from  ordering from her again.

The static thing is normal for a few colours unfortunately, it's like you're attacked by the hair! 

I've never had a problem before (from US to UK), but the message says that it's due to holidays. So either a) everybody is on holiday and nobody is posting out for two weeks or b) more likely, somebody is there and posting orders but might struggle to do everything just as quick on their own, so delays are possible.

The only thing you could do really is email.

I'm going to get an email over to Tina this evening and find out what's going on. I've needed to email her for about a week, but MLC, RL and Ruby have got in the way. I'll see what answers I can get

Oh wonderful! I haven't had a chance to send off an e-mail either. I can't wait to hear what info you get. : D

Hehe.. I think all of the hair is always a bit static when it comes out of the bag.. I think its amusing. I pull it out slowly and watch the strands flare out like tentacles trying to kill me. I just spritz it down and it deflates. Sometimes the weather can affect static too.

Oooo I never thought about the weather affecting the static, I suppose when it's particularly humid or stormy it can make it worse. I've been attacked by countless hanks of hair, maybe I'm just a super charged person lol

As far as some hanks seeming to not have as much hair, a factor may be texture. Whenever I order Golden Goddess it looks like it has less hair in it than say, Heart Throb.  But It's also shinier, and has a more oily texture, till you shampoo it.  So I think the ones that her site notes as having more oil than others, may seem to hold less then they actually do because of the oil effecting the "fluffyness" of the texture of the individual strands.  just a theory anyway.

If you have a kitchen scale, you could weigh the hanks of hair and if one is less, you can send her an e-mail marked "urgent".  I'm sure she'll make it right.  She's always been really good about addressing the random order issue with me, anyway.

Agreed on the oily part of things, some hanks can be underweight though, I think it's to do with the nature of her spinning machine. I don't think I've had any come in that are under though, so hopefully it's a one off if it's underweight. Let her know if it's badly under, 1 or 2 grams may not be worth it. I've always found Tina's hanks to very generous especially her Saran which have more hair in them than other suppliers
