I hate bringing up the past but this is a reminder that you should not trust Joji at all. I thought s/he vanished off the face of the Earth but s/he has an active Instagram. Not sure if Joji still collects dolls but I would not buy anything from that person.

SCAMMER ALERT. This person has been messaging people on etsy wanting to trade or sell these dolls but they do not own them, I know one of the owners and she is not selling or trading her doll. This person has also made an intragram account called iroxykunbjd and is offering the same dolls for trade and sell. They block anyone who comments or messages them about this being a scam. Beware you guys.

Buyer beware. I know this person exhibited at Doll North but they are known to frequently go MIA and never resolve their transactions.

POSTED WITH PERMISSION: Hi all. I'm writing this as a warning in the BJD Community. These kind of things seem to happen far too often and it's happened to me before (not exactly the same…) so I feel super stupid for even going through it again. Not everyone in our gorgeous community can be trusted and like real life, you can be scammed. I live in Australia on a part time wage and I save a lot of money to be able to buy food for myself, food for my pets, veterinary care for my pets, clothes and only then the dolls and their accessories that I want to buy. Back in early March I paid a total of $90 USD (NOT including shipping - this equals to approx $125 AUD) for two outfits to be commissioned for my SD doll. One being a white sheer/lace gown and the other, an already made blue satin gown. I paid this money to Kai Brown/FrostedWonderland Shop and I paid through paypal via Facebook messages communication. Kai told me at the beginning of the transactions "I keep money" but I did not realise that this meant No Refunds - I thought this meant "I will keep the money, unless something bad happens". Please, for the sake of others, if you do not do refunds, specify. After paying the full amount there was a lack of communication between Kai and myself, I had to start every conversation and in April/May I was told that he/she has started working on the commission piece. Again, I had to do all the communication and we did chat about other things, so it almost was like a friendship. Kai explained that when the item was done, he/she would send me a photo of what it looked like. We spoke on and off through April, May and June. We stopped talking for a while as I thought he/she was working on the piece and I thought I would receive a message about the item. A couple of months went passed without word and to be honest, I did forget about the piece. I have had some issues with my dogs health, so I was thinking about him rather than my dolls. I messaged Kai in early August and asked for an update. Kai responded by saying that they have had other commissions they were working on and never got around to mine. I was frustrated and requested a refund. Kai explained that he/she doesn't do refunds because the money goes straight towards him/her paying bills and for food. He/she also said, "I did say I don't do refunds" and I had to go back through messages and be told where they apparently said this. I was beyond upset and angry. I sent Kai a message in September asking when the items will be shipped and he/she said "On Friday I will ship the outfit". He/She then asked for the shipping payment! I explained that I wasn't going to pay for shipping since I had waited for such a long time and that I had actually bought two items. Kai had 'forgotten' that I purchased two items. Since August, I have been requesting a refund and the items. I have received photos of the original commission outfit being almost completed but it still needs to be fully sewn together. It is now October and Kai has stopped responding. I'm now just angry at myself for letting this happen. Please make sure you are careful with everything you buy online. Please make sure you are updated every day/week with your commissioned pieces. I hope this Kai person NEVER does this to anyone else. And I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has had this happen to them. Since writing this (October 20th, give or take) Kai has sent me a tracking number but I'm unsure if this is legitimate.

This is a BIG FAT warning message for you all. It sounds stupid but this has affected my life, I've lost money that I saved up for this. I've lost merchandise too. I am referring to this person as 'friend' as thats what they were to me before everything happened. If you NEED to know their name, you may inbox me. I will not make it public on this page. If you NEED more information than what is here, please contact me direct. It has taken me a long time to write this out because I am still trying to tell myself that maybe things will change....... I am dealing with a 'friend' who I originally met and then my partner met through the BJD pages on facebook about a year ago. This 'friend' has not sent us Lati Yellow Clothing which we have paid for. Nor have we received any form of refund. It has been about....approx 8 months. There is always an excuse for this 'friend' to not send the items/refund the items, can't contact the postman, cannot find a tracking number, didn't have a tracking number. We have asked for answers and for a refund directly, saying we will go through Paypal if issues persist, however 'friend' is not responding to our messages (via facebook). And because 'friend' is in the US and we are in Australia - we cannot easily give 'friend' a phone call. To make matters worse, because I had bought a doll off 'friend' before and because 'friend' was always so kind to us, I did the payment through paypal as friends and family - we trusted 'friend'. The situation went from bad to worse when I had told 'friend' we had moved house and I asked 'friend' what address 'friend' sent the package to, 'friend' never asked me for my new address and 'friend' ended up sending it to my old one. When the package came back to 'friend' (from having a trip around the world), 'friend' STILL did not confirm what my address was/is. These troubles are making this doll hobby harder to love. My partner and I have lost well over $120 (AUD converted to USD). We have gotten to the stage where our dolls are not being touched because we do not have what we want/earned. We love our dolls, but its hard to love something when you keep EXPECTING a resolution. I want to state that I am on a part time wage - earning $450 a week max, $150 goes on rent a week. I do not have money to fork out on items like these all the time. Niki (my partner) and I bought in bulk from 'friend'. In fact Niki bought 'friends' items beforehand (before me). I Paid $105 Fees of: $4.22 Niki paid $50 With fees of: $2.25 105 + 4.22 + 50 + 2.25 = $161.47 That converted from USD to AUD = $196.06. We work really hard for our money and the things we love. We often find ourselves with $50 to spend for a week, covering us for food, transport and sometimes medical expenses. I am beyond hurt - beyond angry at the rudeness of this person. Please be careful out there. We, as people, get lost in the hobbies we love, but remember that it is real life - you can get hurt. Note: Adding persons name in: Jessica Blajda/Jessy Doll on facebook.
