With so many BJD shops and dealers out there, you might wonder, “Why should I order through BJDivas?”
In recent years, scammers posing as BJD dealers have been on the rise, and many have already fallen victim to their scams. It is more critical than ever to buy from a trusted source. We hope to be that trusted source for you, and we believe we have the history to back that up. In all our years of operation, we have either fulfilled or refunded all orders, no exceptions, even when our partners did not compensate us. We don’t hesitate to utilize the full force of the law even across international borders to ensure that derelict former partners fulfill their responsibility, even when they try to run and hide from that responsibility. In many situations when other dealers do not want to expend the time and monetary investment to force derelict partners to fulfill what is owed, we do not hesitate to invest both in order to make our customers whole. While we do not legally need to go after derelict partners, we have and always will do what is right by our customers.
We strive to provide you with unparalleled customer service and special perks no matter where in the world you are located. When you order through us, the following are just some of the benefits that you can enjoy:
- We are an officially recognized partner of all of our listed BJD companies. As an official dealer, we have contractual agreements with all of our represented companies. This makes us legally their representative, which means that purchasing through us is the same as purchasing through the companies directly in terms of product legitimacy. Furthermore, our official relationship means that our represented companies must perform the same degree of after service that they owe to customers who purchase directly from them. Unlike many BJD stores out there, we are NOT a reseller, as resellers do not have official relationships with BJD companies and instead act as purchasing agents. Purchasing agents cannot guarantee after service care and BJD companies are not required to recognize items ordered through purchasing agents as legitimate.
- Extended and flexible layaway plans! We offer the longest layaways anywhere. If you’re not sure how long to request, please contact us and we’ll work with you to find a schedule that best fits your needs. If you need to further adjust your payment schedule, for instance say you’d like to set up something like paying a varying amount each period, simply get in touch and we’ll see what we can do!
- Your doll is being made while you pay off your layaway! Unlike other places, we submit your order with your first layaway payment so that your order enters the production queue right away. Ordering through us with layaway means that you don’t have to double-wait!
- We’ll tell you like it is! Some companies have very long wait times. This information isn’t always easily accessible, due to its suboptimal nature. This won’t stop us from cautioning you about companies with long waits and other potentially negative factors before you place your order. Customers are encouraged to ask questions about any such topics and we’ll gladly provide the information that we know about them.
- Save on shipping! We’ll always find the best shipping rates for you. Unlike most other places, we calculate shipping based on actual weights, and we don’t cut corners by shipping flat rate when we can get you a better deal shipping non-flat rate. For international customers, we offer the option of shipping directly from the doll companies themselves.
- Relax while we work for you! As BJD owners ourselves, we understand how stressful the waiting game can be. We are very diligent about keeping up communications, and we will check the quality of your dolls when they arrive then follow-up with the parent company to fix any problems if they arise.
- Join the VIP Members Group! All customers in good standing who have ordered from us can join our group on Facebook, where there are exclusive offers/releases, games w/ prizes, giveaways, and other cool stuff we can think of! Be among the first to know about limited releases, and interact with other VIPs, who are able to help you with all sorts of things BJD!
As we are super devoted to each of our customers, in addition to always endeavoring to empathize with them about how frustrating the long wait times can be and doing what we can to help alleviate those frustrations, we strive to consider and address each customer’s specific needs. Some examples of us going above and beyond the norm to provide exceptional service are as follows:
- During a sales period in our Etsy shop, without being asked to do so, we manually applied the discount for customers who had checked out without entering the coupon code by refunding the discounted amount.
- Checking each order to see if it’s eligible for special discounts that the customer may not be aware of.
- Refunding shipping surcharges even when they’re less than $1.00.
- Tailoring layaway plans specific to each individual’s needs.
- Helping customers rehome their dolls.
- Always accommodating curveballs that come up in individuals’ lives.
- Taking the time to thoroughly help newcomers to the BJD world to understand the nomenclatures of, and where to find resources for, the hobby.
- Assisting customers with image searches for product comparisons and taking our own photos to provide requested visualization.
- Recommending face-up artists after taking the time to understand a customer’s tastes, needs and budget.
