Dollies in the UK(Sinthetics)

[Iloveredheads]

Hi Guys,

My ultimate goal is to own my very own Sinthetics doll (alicia). My question is has any one taken order of one of these beauties in the UK and if so could you tell me or pm what the total cost (or thereabouts)deliveried to your door. Like i keep say would love to own one but just looking for a ball part figure I need to save up too(dont want to be short).

Thanks

I don't think there'll be that many, if any, of them been deliverd to anyone who posts on here scottishlad, which basically means you'll get no first hand reply. From a very quick look about, this is the address you want,sales@sinthetics.com, so you get it form the horses mouth so to speak.


I've linked a thread that seems to have all the necessary info you should need. http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ead.php?t=1657



darkangel doesn't seem to have posted since the last post on the thread, I've linked, so I don't know if he got his doll or not?

Good luck.

Thanks for that Jayjay, will have a good read through it!

You can get a rough idea as follows:

Convert the price in USD to GBP (British pounds) using one of the currency conversion web sites. Don't forget to include the manufacturer's overseas shipping cost.

Add 20 percent VAT payable on all imports -- even from countries that don't have VAT like the USA!

Add customs duty (I forget the rate, but it is not very much) and, if you use an import agent such as SEKO UK, the fees they charge.

If you want it delivered to your door, add that cost too. (SEKO's charge for that is very reasonable in my experience.)

It all adds up...

THanks for that Everhard gives me a better understanding of what costs are involved, now to go find the calculator

[Sinthetics]

We have delivered to the UK but I don't believe any of the UK owners post on any forums, which is a bit sad. My understanding is that the import taxes work out to somewhere between 21% and 25% of the commercial invoice amount. Shoot us an email at Sales@Sinthetics.com and we'll talk about the process more.

With a little help from Everhard i have managed to get a rough Idea of monies required to purchase one of these lovelies, however overtime a calling so expect me to be in touchnext year.......

Would be amasing to be the first one to get one on the forums

Alicia am coming for ya baby!!

I often wonder how many people have dolls but never post on the forums. I suppose some of them don't even know about the existance of the forums.

Anyway, glad you got it mostly sorted scottishlad.This time next year you'll be an Alicia owner...or better still win the lottery and you'll be an Alica owner in a few months!

I have to say the UK forum is pretty visible if you google love/sex dolls and uk.

My first stop during my extensive research wasn't this forum - nor was it third or even fourth. I went direct to the different shops and official manufacturers' sites first - but eventually meandered onto here (and also TDF and ODC) looking for reviews and stuff like that.

I think the forum has a lot more lurkers tbh, but that's the nature of the beast... but I think if more of us discover the friendly vibe and join, posting more general stuff and a wider sort of "chatroom" vibe about it, it'll encourage people to stop a while longer.

Yep, there is a real honest-to-betsy reason for me posting crap on here!

UKLDF isn't (yet) as vibrant as the transatlantic counterparts, but you can still log on to here once a week and find enough to catch up....

Sort of a snowball effect, once a site gets the initial traction... more is more and less is less....

In fact, I'd be minded to "re-brand" the site as a UK and European Love Doll Forum... but that's just me spitballin'

[jayjay]

Yup a bit of general conversation, friendly charm and politeness never did anyone any harm and will encourage people out of the shadows and into joining.

I came across TDF years ago, when Realdoll were the only silicone doll on the market. I'd seen them on Sky tv, so I went on the net to search for more info. I think I just Googled Realdoll and TDF came up as well, but at the time, I was spending too much time on my mates site to join so I just watched.

I would imagine there's a certain amount of stigma attached to dolls and people avoid forums and getting involved because of that, which is a shame, but I suppose only to be expected.

Everything seems to be heading in the right direction here though...."Mighty oaks from little acorns grow."
