RealDoll - Importing into UK
 

Has anyone ever had any experience of importing a RealDoll into the UK and also with shipping and in particular customs handling dealt with. There used to be a UK agent but they no longer exist.

Any help and advice would be most welcome.

I had no problem with them and that was to the Channel Islands although it was 7 years ago.

try gummipuppen.de before brexit

I find that I have to nominate an import agent who clears it through customs and also arranges to deliver it from the airport to your door. They collect the VAT from you and they charge a small fee (quite reasonable in my experience). The only problem I found once or twice is I have to contact the import agent and tell them I am expecting the doll. You cannot rely on them contacting you when she arrives. I had one doll sitting in their warehouse for a week while I was expecting them to contact me.

I don't know why Abyss Creations cannot arrange it all like the manufacturers in Japan do.

It might be worth trying one of the UK Vendors on here just in case they have a connection or are planning to take on Abyss creations.

Just out of curiosity which one are you looking to import. :cool:

Who is the German reseller?

Congratulations on getting a Realdoll. I can't help you on importing since I live in the USA, but Abyss has come along way with the quality, and details of their dolls.
