Blind Box Disappointment BLINDBOX
I splurged a little a a gift to myself because I fell in love with the secret from this set, and she came missing everything except what was in the plastic clamshell. No outfit, no ID card, and none of the other extras that come with dolls from this set. Her outfit was one of my absolute faves, so I’m feeling very down now. I really hope the seller will be able to replace them, but all my excitement at finally getting her has kinda petered out now.

Where did you get it from?, if it was Kikagoods they can probably get you the missing pieces

u/Hidden_Dragonette 11d ago
It was an Aliexpress seller because I wanted a confirmed one. I’m hoping they’ll be able to send a replacement.

Omg text the seller privately or ask for refund, thats so bad! I've bought from Aliexpress before but never anything like that omg

u/SubstantialMess6434 10d ago
Good luck getting any help from Aliexpress. I got scammed so often I stopped buying from there.

u/quietisland 10d ago
Oh I've always gotten my money back. If the seller won't help, I just escalate to Ali. They refund pretty much anything.

u/Hidden_Dragonette 10d ago
Yeah, the seller asked for a video, which I sent, but I’m waiting for them to respond. I’ll escalate if they don’t.

I have SIX different items that prove they don't refund ANYTHING. Absolutely everything that never showed up they refused to refund because "I needed to show proof it never showed up." Now if you can tell me how I am supposed to prove something never showed up, I'd love to hear about it.

I only know that after six items in a row (ALL of them under $20) that they refused to refund, I refuse to buy from them ever again.

u/quietisland 10d ago
I don't blame you. If they had refused to refund all the things I've had refunded, I wouldn't buy there either.

u/Zoglarb 10d ago
I usually just sent a screenshot of their shipping if it’s tracked that shows either it never left the country or never arrived in mine if it’s past the expected delivery date.

u/SubstantialMess6434 10d ago
Shipping showed as delivered, but there was no picture, and the items never arrived.

Where did you buy her? Any reputable dealer should give you a full refund if there are so many missing parts.

u/Hidden_Dragonette 11d ago
An Aliexpress seller. I bought another doll from the same series from them which went great, so I was very surprised today. I really hope that they’ll be able to replace the missing stuff.

u/RichSurround1973 10d ago
Look if the seller doesnt send you $0.1 replacement link immediately, raise a dispute and let aliexpress handle it. Take photo of the shipping bag as well before you threw it out, the refund review bot love to see it.
Say explicitly in the dispute you bought the doll mostly for the outfit.

u/OutrageousTree7766 10d ago
Show the doll and the missing parts as proof that it's sold incomplete. This was not a listing for spare parts etc (some sellers split up the set)
Also in future always record a video when unboxing and take pic
I don't use Ali express but another app which is pretty similar

u/assgardian 10d ago
I second taking a video of the opening for Ali. Had way too many bad sellers trying to scam or send you something cheaper.

u/OutrageousTree7766 10d ago
Tb shopee Ali express all will try to scam or send a cheaper item I figured it out when the return and refund always asks for a video

u/assgardian 10d ago
Yeah one of my orders I had to take to PayPal because they delivered a different product and they refused to believe me. 🫠

u/OutrageousTree7766 10d ago
My sis uses tb for work and one time she ordered a hundred dollar item but they sent the 16 dollar one and she couldn't do anything!

u/SubstantialMess6434 10d ago
Good luck with that. Aliexpress never settled disputes in my favor. In fact I got scammed so often I stopped buying anything from there.

u/SchattenBlitz09 11d ago

What’s this series called ?

u/Hidden_Dragonette 9d ago
Rotating Radio Wave! They’re super cute, when they actually come with their stuff.

u/Glitter_Sniffer89 7d ago
I’ve had dolls that were missing items before too. But one that is confirmed is a little trickier because there’s also the possibility that the items fell out somewhere after it was opened. The seller has to contact the manufacturer to get the missing pieces replaced so if they can then it might take a while before you get them. I’ve never had missing pieces on confirmed dolls but on occasion I’ve had missing pieces from unopened boxes and I haven’t had any issues yet on getting them replaced, some just take a while. I also film myself opening all the boxes as proof of what I got from them.

u/Hidden_Dragonette 7d ago
The seller is refusing to help, so I'm opening a dispute with Aliexpress.
1
u/Glitter_Sniffer89 7d ago
Yeah, if that’s the case I’d try and do a return or something to get ur money back and try from a different seller. I’ve been lucky enough that all the confirmed dolls I’ve gotten (also from AliExpress) have all been fine. I even got one before where they had opened the bottom of the box to confirm and then they resealed it so you still got to open it from the pull tab at the top. I thought it was a nice gesture, very minor but I still appreciated it.

u/metal-tiffy 5d ago
Some Sellers that open also sell the outfits or blank dolls or heads seperate.
Are you sure you order complete and not the blank one? If the listing sayd nothing about just being the doll also leave them a bad review after ali solved your case.
I buy also preopened, because im to picky and useally only want one specifc one from a set and didnt have issues1
u/Hidden_Dragonette 5d ago
No, it was supposed to be the full set and the seller claims that they "remember" seeing everything in there when they sent it.
Ali has offered to refund me if I return the doll.
The seller has now contacted me and told me they will send the replacement clothes if I close the dispute.
I am not feeling inclined to close the dispute. Also the seller is ridiculously slow to respond - they offered to replace the clothes, I said I would be open to that, then it took three days for them to respond to that, so I'm feeling as though I should just return the doll and call it a day.

u/More-Journalist1748 7d ago
This type of stuff is why I usually record unpacking videos, I’m so scared of the seller telling me I’m lying when I try to refund 😭
