A checklist for comparing quotes from different love doll retailers.

Even with the same product name, the configuration and cost conditions can differ. This guide explains how to compare the main unit, options, shipping, delivery time, and support under the same conditions.

Editing image for comparing documents. Not a photograph of a specific product.

When comparing retailers, simply listing the prices displayed on the screen is not enough to ensure fair comparisons. Even if the product names appear the same, the heads, additional specifications, accessories, and shipping conditions may differ. It's helpful to first summarize your desired configuration on a single memo and then use that same memo to check the responses from different retailers; this will make it easier to identify differences in their answers.

Fix the configuration of the comparison target.

Please list the manufacturer name and model number, head and body combination, material, color, skeletal structure, and any additional items you wish to include. Please also indicate in a separate section whether the clothing and wig shown in the product photos are included. If you only send photos of the exterior, the composition of the photos and the composition of the estimate may not match. Please add the date of response for any items that have been confirmed.

The costs are divided into columns according to what is included.

Check the base price, options, shipping costs, and other charges in the same order. If the currencies are different, note the conversion conditions used during the comparison. Don't rank them solely by the discount rate; check the configurations to which the discount applies, the expiration date, and the conditions under which they can be combined. When considering the value of a perk, think about whether you will actually use it; this will help you avoid being swayed by unnecessary accessories.

In-stock items and made-to-order items are not treated with the same delivery date.

The process after ordering differs depending on whether we are shipping a pre-made item or creating one after confirming the configuration. We will ask you to specify the "estimated time until shipment" and the "estimated time until arrival" and from what point in time the calculation begins. For items in stock, please confirm the current status of the item and the range of possible changes. For made-to-order items, please confirm the timing of the configuration finalization and the confirmation procedure.

Check the contact information and scope of support.

When comparing support services, simply stating "warranty included" is insufficient. Clarify what situations are covered, such as defects upon arrival, ongoing support during use, and parts replacement. Keep documentation from the time of order that confirms contact methods, required records, claim deadlines, and return procedures and costs if necessary. Specific conditions will vary depending on the retailer and order details.

Ready-to-use inquiry text

"The manufacturer name, model number, and desired head and body are as follows. Please provide the weight of the unit, packaging dimensions, a quote including any additional costs, the shipping origin, the scope of changes after the configuration is finalized, whether a pre-shipment check is required, and how to contact you if there are any problems upon arrival. Please list all included accessories." Asking questions in this way, in a format that allows the answers to be transferred to a comparison table, reduces the number of items that need to be checked again later.

I will make a decision after receiving all the responses.

Leave any unanswered fields blank and do not fill them with answers from other vendors. If you can explain in one sentence which factors—price, ease of verification, delivery time, or support—you prioritized when choosing that particular candidate, then your comparison objectives are clear. If the information on the sales page differs from the individual responses, please confirm which applies to your order before making payment.
