Please Note: For our customers using Paypal and Paypal Express, we calculate shipping after an order is placed. Depending on how your paypal account is setup, this may mean that we cannot charge you directly for shipping and in those cases we will send you an invoice through paypal for the cost of shipping your order. We cannot ship your order until we receive payment for shipping.
If for any reason you need your order to be shipped ASAP we recommend paying with a credit card.
Shipping of dolls and outfits usually is $5-$15. Priority's base cost is just over $5 and it is about $1 per $100 to insure. Note: $125 is $2 to insure, $236 is $3, and so on. East coast tends to be closer to $7 minimum.
International orders, due to size and/or insurance restrictions, may have to be shipped in multiple boxes. We ship abroad using USPS Priority. Customs requires us to declare the value.
Boxes: We charge you what UPS charges us. Due to the large sizes of the boxes needed to mail display boxes, UPS charges by dimensional weight not by actual weight. Currently, boxes are shipped by noon on Wednesdays only. An alternative available to those close to the Los Angeles environs is to pick the boxes up at the show. (See the show page for more information.)
Due to the drastic variance to ship internationally and to ship boxes, please email for estimates.

Express costs $48.
