Seller info:
We are a non-smoking home. I check to make sure the dolls don't smell smokey before reselling.
We do have 3 crazy dogs.
Rooting and Doll info:
I use the knotting method to reroot my dolls. This method I find hold hair in place the best. I have been rerooting since the early 90's. I have dolls that I rerooted from back then where the hair is still perfect and in place.
Rooting definitions:
Ponytail/ PT: These dolls have been rooted like the original Barbies. They have 2 layers of hair rooted around their heads on the outside. The hair is then styled up into a ponytail. These dolls are designed to keep their hair that way. Their heads are otherwise bald in the middle.
Ponytails: These dolls have 2 ponytails - they are each rooted just like a Ponytail dolls. They will have bald sections between each ponytail. They are rooted w/ a full part down the head. Hair cannot be taken out of ponytails and styled to lay flat.
Full Head: These dolls have been rerooted with a full head of hair. Sometimes they might have a part, sometimes they don't. Hair is thick and full. There might be empty holes, I don't always put hair in every hole, this assures that the hair lays better and the head isn't overly stuffed w/ knots.
Types of hair used: I use a variety of hair types. For Curly hair dolls I use vintage bagged doll hair. The hair is pre-curled.
What comes with your doll: Dolls come with outfits and accessories mentioned in listing. Anything else you might see stands, other accessories are not included in listing.
Shipping Info:
Unfortunately, I do not offer International shipping. Please do not ask for exceptions.
I do NOT ship via First Class or Media Mail, please do NOT ask me for an exception. Shipping is expensive, please don't ask me if I'll cover the cost.
All shipping will be via Priority Mail Flat Rate services ONLY.
These rates include USPS Tracking and
$50 Insurance. Due to COVID I haven't been getting out as often to the post office - usually only 1-2 times a week. If you need your package fast - CONTACT ME and I'll get it out.
You'll note that some of my items are set at the Padded Envelope price of $8.75 - this price is good for up to 3 Barbie dolls and no more. Any orders over 3 dolls will move your order to a Medium Flat Rate Box of $15.40. If you wish for your doll(s) to be shipped in a box instead of an envelope, just let me know and I'll be happy to update your invoice.
Certain dolls might NOT be covered for the envelope rate - this includes all OOAK/ Rerooted dolls, larger dolls, and dolls that I deem to be too fragile and should require more secure packaging; this includes Barbies with Fashionista, Model Muse & hollow jointed bodies. Vintage dolls will not go in an envelope, they will only ship in boxes. Other toys such as those in package will only be shipped via Priority Flat rate Boxes to avoid the packaging getting crushed.
I offer the envelope rate as a less expensive option to the boxes
since I don't offer First Class. Just remember
I am ALWAYS happy to combine orders so you save on shipping. In the
end - the more you buy the more you save on shipping!
