Notes

Like most of the hobby shops, you place your order and Ami Ami will send you a link to review & pay for your invoice.

But one of the things we like best about Ami Ami is how they’ll provide you with the available shipping methods before paying.

This is a great feature because you can compare shipping rates & save money on the best transit time to your location. Completing checkout in 1 step instead of the 2 or more like with other hobby shops.

Ways to Save $$:
Ami Ami has a reward system called Ami Ami points.

After you place your order and it has shipped Ami Ami will credit your account with Ami Ami points.

The amount and rate of points earned may differ per item. 1 point = 1 Japanese yen.

The more money you spend, the more points you earn!

Notes

We’ve order an Azone International doll from CDJapan.

They don’t have the largest selection of dolls but don’t overlook them.

CDJapan, is like HLJ, a great dolly backup source.

That’s great news.

The more backup shops you have, the better chances you have in bringing your dream girl/boy home.

Ways to Save $$:

CDJapan has a point system.

It’s called CDJapan Rewards.

Once your order has shipped, they’ll credit your account with points earned.

The points are worth 1 Japanese Yen.

So you can apply these points on your next order to save $$.

Doesn’t it feel good to save money?

Notes

eBay is a nice site to shop for dolls.

We’ve grab a couple of Azone International girls from eBay.

You may end up paying more than the retail price for your doll.

In some cases, the higher price tag maybe worth it.

But before you hit that Buy It Now button, do your due diligence. Review the sellers feedback and read the listing for all important details.

When in doubt, ask the seller for more details.

If you don’t feel comfortable or if your concerns are not answered then skip that seller.

Have patience.

You’ll get your dream doll.

It may take a little longer than you want but don’t give up.

There’s nothing like jumping into a purchase and then later regretting it.

Notes

We’ve placed several orders for Azone International dolls here.

A good thing about HLJ is that it takes a while for some dolls to sell out.

So if your usual hobby shop has sold out of a doll, HLJ may have him/her available.

Notes

Hobby Search is a great source for Azone International regular release dolls & the Pullip family of dolls.

They have very reasonable prices and ship quick.

Popular dolls sell out fast here.

So you’ll need to place your pre-orders quick.

But all is not lost

Hobby Search, on occasion, restock their previously sold out dolls.

So visit their restock section often for possible back in stock dolls.

Ways to Save $$:

Hobby Search has a point system called Hobby Search Points.

When you place an order with them they’ll credit 3% of the item cost to your account as Hobby Search points (1% for magazines and books).

You can use these points on your next order to save $$.

And who doesn’t like to save a bit of money now and then.

Hobby Search’s customer service department is quick and friendly and they reply to messages quickly .

If you have any issues with your order or if there are items missing from your package (like it was for our Mio) don’t hesitate to contact them for help in resolving the issue (they sent us her missing coat).
