I emailed my order in within 10-20 mins of the dresses initially appearing on the Japanese site, though, so my order is probably quite early. And the ivory normal waist jsk is probably the least popular so it's probably the easiest to confirm. Hope they get back to you soon.

From what I gather in some of the initial HL threads, the ones who initially made the predictions were saying the prices would drop after girls are bored with it, so more like a 1~2+ year wait, which we're not out of yet. It seems like poorfags latched onto the idea and then expected to be able to score a dress for a massive "discount" hot off the moment AP shipped them out to buyers, which is really, really dumb -- lolita doesn't have that many super rich airheads to be able to do that. So basically if you hang around for a few more years, the price for HL is likely to keep going lower.

I don't really have the same hope for MCD though, it's not an MTO. Then again, the secondhand prices on it are nowhere near Chocolate Rosette level, maybe the skirt or the muumuu might drop in price at least.

They don't let you update with new address? That's pretty dumb of them.

If you know the people living at your old address you can send them some small random junk from Japan. You only need to have the first delivery be successful and then you can change the address to wherever you want. Even if you bought MCD first, you can order some cheap stuff off amazon jp, send the cheap stuff to your old address, wait a few weeks for that to arrive, then you're clear to change the address and ship MCD to your new address.

Still kinda a waste of money though, and the first delivery has to be successful though, so just sending a package and the people living there not accepting it would still be a problem.

Probably a good idea to drop them a polite email and inquire about your order. I had a friend who had IW totally miss her order, they didn't realise it until she emailed them. It happens.

The one time IW didn't reply to my order IW ended up re-releasing the print and I got priority to place my order ahead of general release. I'm not sure that applies here, though, since only the bordeaux sold out.

Thanks, I've done just that. I thought that maybe over a week was normal but then read on the site it said 3 working days was the usual time. I hope it's just because they're bringing in what I wanted from outside their warehouse or something.

Also, that's pretty cool of them to give you priority for the next release.

>> No.9213688

>>9213658

Actually the longest I've had was waiting nearly two weeks for an invoice, and then nearly a month for it to be shipped out (they really did say they had to get one of my headbows from a warehouse). This was during a sale, though, what with everyone else apparently getting invoices or rejection emails for Rabbit Letter it's probably better to email them and get their attention now, while they might have a dress or two lying around to sell to you.

Ah, the re-release IW did was pretty mad. It was the Night Fantasy Sky and opened completely sold out, but a bunch of cgl anons all went ahead and send in email orders anyway. I think they put us all on the priority list. I'm basically hoping IW has enough orders for the bordeaux that they think it's worthwhile to do a second batch of just the bordeaux, but who knows if that is even possible.

Anyway, good luck, I hope your order went through and they're just getting items from the warehouse.

They're capable of original designs, it's just that they're marketing to lolitas, so the better-selling designs you see everywhere tend to be the ones that complement an existing popular burando print. I think their previous design with bunnies and cherry blossoms was original, which was why it wasn't a heavy bloodbath.

Anyway, lately AP has been putting out dresses without matching accessories, so I can no longer agree with AH ripoffs being a terrible thing. Cirque du L'Etoile, Antique Chocolaterie, Astro Regiment, Romantic Garden, Milky Swan all don't have matching jewellery in their series. Princess Cat reuses Cinema Doll jewellery. Jewel Marine and Marine Kingdom seem to share the same plain seashell jewellery. At this point I'm just happy for one more option to choose from, since AP themselves don't seem to want to sell us jewellery to go with their own dresses.

Very common. It's a half shirred dress, which means there's no zipper. The waist is 103cm so that you have enough space to pull the dress over your head. Someone with an actual 103cm waist is not going to be able to get into the dress.

You just really don't get how this works do you? If something sells out they have more orders to fill than a release that only gets a fraction of the items purchased. All the orders have to be processed at once, and there's less staf to do it. Seriously, you reek of new.

Fucking. I don't understand why they won't do a pre-order then. Maybe if enough people ask? I mean, they get more money... isn't that enough incentive? I'm no small business owner but it seems like a win-win for everyone if they just do a bloody pre-order and let everyone be happy? Or are they just trying to be super exclusive?

That's so silly though.

Generally how it works is you place an order with a factory for a certain amount of items and the higher the amount of items you want made in an order, the cheaper the price of the individual item.

Does anyone know where AH gets their stuff made? If it's a factory in China or hell even in the US, all they have to do is open pre-orders and then start production once they have enough to meet the minimum number the factory allows for a production lot. If people pre-order over the minimum amount, they keep more profits since each individual item's cost goes down as the total amount goes up.

So either they are bullshitting as >>9222673

Opening a pre-order and being transparent about the number they need minimum has no drawbacks though? I didn't say have them pay later, it's pay upfront and get a refund if the project isn't funded enough kind of system.

Seriously, this. Also if you're a small business selling something handmade, you're taking a risk with every release you do. They can probably anticipate that a Halloween release will be more popular and make more stock (I don't know if they did but I'm assuming), but every so often you'll put something out that you're hoping will do well but won't, such as the moon bunny stuff. They are a tiny brand, the risk is so much higher than an actual company like AP or BTSSB.

I personally don't buy anything unless I can preorder it, I just find it easier that way. AH should do a system where you pay a fraction of the price as a deposit then the rest when it's ready just like Taobao stores. I think it would work out better that way.

Their past Halloween release was a total bloodbath, resulting in their first MTO, so I don't think they'd make little for Halloween. The reason Moon Bunny didn't sell out is because it matched zero releases at the time. You could maybe find a taobao print that sort of matches the theme, but no major brand has a "moon bunny sakura" print.

AH is by AP/sweet lolita enthusiasts, so they are obviously make jewelry as an alternative choice to AP's god awful accessories. This release has a lot that can fit in with general gothic lolita, Rosy Night Masquerade which was a popular AatP release, and AP's sweet-gothic releases. It wasn't about the amount made, it was about all the current prints it could be matched with.
