Title: Shipping?
Post by: xkelpiex on November 14, 2012, 02:56:22 PM

So, I am considering getting a Bobobie sprite girl after christmas and am trying to tally how much she'll cost, but I need to factor in shipping. How much is shipping typically for a 43" doll? Anyone know? I'm hoping it's not more than 30 bucks or so.

It depends on where you order from. I never found the shipping too bad at JunkySpot. At most online places, you can just put items in the cart and calculate shipping without having to actually order.  ^.^

I so need this answered too because I'm planning on getting Bobobie Mei after Christmas. And she's already at 150.. so please tell me shipping isn't going to be super expensive.  >_<

^ Exactly how I feel lol!

Mine would be my first BJD. And after I order ALL her clothes/wig/etc... she's going to at least be 200 dollars. So please no high shipping!

Who are you ordering from? The Bobobie website?

I got my Mei from DDE and I paid around 15 or so for shipping. She is 42cm tall.

How much was the doll itself?

And fifteen bucks isn't bad at all for shipping.

If you're ordering in the US, I definitely recommend DDE.  They are super amazing people, their original location was right in my neighborhood growing up and I used to get my dolls' outfits there with my allowance as a kid.  They've moved since, but it's still close enough to drive to easily.  They are just good people and I always recommend them just to support their business.  Plus, domestic shipping.  I believe that Mei is $150.

For Canada, you'd have to look at shipping costs from various sites.  But I would think that DDE might still be a good option since it's on the same continent.

I'm gonna get her from DDE! She's cheaper than Bobobie doll mall and I'd be able to buy a nicer wig in the same order!
