Hi Coombach
When Ulyana arrived into Heathrow I contacted Horizon International Cargo Ltd who took over the whole job of import duties, Vat and delivery and managed to get all duties down to as follows.....
Ulyana is a body 1

Customs clearance was £45.00
Import Airline Handling £37.00
next day Delivery £70
Total: £152.10

Import Duty £98.09
VAT £341.44
Use of Deferment £15.00
Total: £454.53

Hope this helps and enjoy.

Thanks for your help! Sorry for the late reply but have been ill recently. Those costs seem very reasonable! Were you contacted when the doll arrived at Heathrow?

Thanks

One year I omitted to tell them I was expecting the doll to arrive on the scheduled day. She sat in the warehouse for about a week and she still has impressions in her skin from her clothes. (That was Joanna, a soft and fairly heavy Realdoll.) So, don't wait for them to contact you. You need to contact them!

He has said that the shipping agent will contact me when the doll arrives at Heathrow airport to inform me of taxes. I can then arrange delivery through the shipping agent to my home.

@Everhard I can use Seko as you recommend them. Not sure who Carl used, perhaps I will contact him again and ask??

Thank you once again for your help, I appreciate it.

Hey Chris Hun,

Hope you dont mind me asking , what firm did you use for your doll when she came to Heathrow did you use Seko ? Iam about to order my doll but would like to understand what i need to do to get her to my door as she can only be shipped to Heathrow and I live in Scotland.

Hugs and thank you

Before pressing that button please do check that the weight will be OK for you. There was a member photographer here Angelah who was very very enthusiastic but had to sell her lady because she couldn't handle the weight. Likewise a lady here has sold her 160 size doll of another make because of weight.

I'm not expert on the Anatomicals and Angelah's from memory was only in the region of 26kg or so but she had difficulty with that. It's a lot of money to spend and then to lose significantly upon if after receipt you find she's on the less manageable side for you.

Best wishes

This crops up every time a new doll owner is talking about a sil or TPE girl and I know it can seem lie we are trying to put people off with harping on about it every............. bloody.................. time


But of all the things to consider about a solid doll purchase it is the NUMBER 1 consideration. it doesnt matter a pickle how wonderful or anatomically correct or beautiful a doll is if you simply cant manoeuvre it about, so please research the weight, and try the weight out. A doll is always a dead weight in human form.

I know the Anatomical that Harem refers to and she was NOT 26 kilos! I got her in and out of the car for Angelah, and she was more in the 30's i'd say. Add the fact that her spine joint allowed for easy movement and carrying her meant not only handing the weight, but also supporting the whole body and hips together when doing so.

Fantastic Doll, not saying anything bad about it, but certainly required back and arm strength for lifting.

Brilliant!

That's really good news.

It will be great to see another Anatomical around - they are underappreciated.

Best wishes

Yup, she ain't no featherweight doll and Angelah is a very small lady, she needed help whenever she wanted to move the doll. I also reckon Natasha/Zina's body 4 is about 32 (give or take) KG. Pretty light weight for me but I can see even this weight giving problems to some new owners not used to lifting heavy awkward things.
