Whine whine whine Dollfies and shipping/ Berry Hujoo/ Blythe/ Barbie Dress/ Hair Group

So, getting Dollfie bodies is tough for Canadians again. I seem to remember there being a way of shipping that cost $17US. It was the same for 1 body as it was for a bunch but that was the end of it. NOW they appear to have done away with it in favor of only working through UPS. UPS Standard to Canada is $21.84 and you run the risk of getting hit with extra charges if you go over $50, I.E buy more than one doll. So you are paying more than before for the pleasure of paying even more. Nice one, guys.

USPS (EMI) starts at $25.95US to Canada. I'm wondering if the folks who choose that one get around the extra fees. It sucks that it's more but if you can pay about $4 more instead of $50ish in fees, THAT would be worth it.

Ebay is totally not a good option. The cheapest body right now is $10US more than Volks USA. $42CDN after shipping for ONE body. Cripes. I supose maybe you could buy a bunch and ship them together but TEN DOLLARS AMERICAN MORE. *shiver* Looking at this makes me wonder if anyone's switched to Obitsu just because it's less hassle. Cheaper on Ebay, you can get them from places like Junky Spot too.

They came out with a new Hujoo that I DON'T hate. Berry is kind of cute but I HATE the other two and I figured out why: It's the nose area. It's so small then upturned too much. Before Berry, the only Hujoos I liked were heavily modded but this one's nose doesn't look so pinched.

There's also a new Blythe called Simply Peppermint. With a name like that, Lon must TOTALLY want it, right? No. The fact that I can't have her doesn't bother me at all. She looks washed out. The black is too harsh for her, they should have gone with darke hair. Or made the outfit in a darker green or pink. As it, it does nothing for me, NOOooooOTHING! >:D

One of the things I picked up at the thrift store recently was this Barbie sized black velveteen dress. Any no where it's from? The tag is cut so I can't see a brand name. I'd like to alter it but I want to make sure it's not RARE!! HTF!! before I do anything to it.

Hmmm...now this is odd. The last time I checked the doll hair group, we had 101 submissions. Now I check it, there are 3 new ones but it says 102 now. O_O Did we lose a couple?
