A lady purchased a doll directly off my website, we had a few e-mails back and forth and I sent her doll. She received it today and this is the e-mail I got tonight:

Lily arrived today and I am sorry to say I will need to return her. I ordered it for my seven year old daughter and I don’t think she will take good care of her. With her neck needing support and her delicate body I don’t think it would be good for either of them. I am very sorry for the inconvenience! I will ship her back tomorrow. Thank you very much for the fast delivery time and great service.

I have never had this happen before. It wasn’t a custom doll so I guess I will have to refund her money.
Guess I will need to put in a “no return” clause.
I, too, have my customers involved in the reborning process with photos of my progress so usually customs are not a problem. I thought I was pretty specific when describing my dolls on my website and had she told me this was going to be for a 7 year old I might have steered her to another doll (like a Berenguer) - – maybe I should see if she would do that
My now 3.5 year old grand baby has 2 and one of my more keys. She; lays with hers and takes them in public all the time. They are not too delicate. The only time any of their body parts came off is when I took ones bead off cause she “had boy hair” . My grand baby has her own ideas.
Well my nieces got one and the only problem is the hair!! They do not listen about how to take care of the hair and they really do not have any left at this point so I would suggest painted hair to anyone that has a child that will be playing with it!! This is just my experience. I am sure there are kids out there that could handle them better, my daughter has never done any damage to mine here at home!!
Hi Judy
Im sorry this happened to you
I got screwed.over once when a woman ordered a custom doll and put.down.half and then after i ordered supply and began working

Katie .
I’m so sorry Judy that this happened. I hope the baby comes back in excellent condition and you can resell her. I would not refund the money until you have a chance to inspect the baby. And I would certainly add the non-refundable statement to your baby pages.
I got my doll back just the way she was sent. I plan to refund her money minus PayPal fees, but do I refund the shipping she paid originally when I sent her??? I am thinking - yes. Am I right?
Julie -
She originally paid $200 for the doll and $25 for me to ship it. So should I refund just the $200 minus the PayPal fees? I want to do what is right.
Yes - shipping charges and Paypal fees are her responsibility, not yours. This failed transaction should not penalize you. If she wants a Berenguer for her daughter, perhaps you can offer a better deal than normal…
