Importing From the US...anyone have any experience with customs fees or shipping?

I have had a major, major crush on one of these bespoke replica female bodies made from latex and foam for many years, the "Jessica" from the somewhat unfortunately named Dapper Cadaver

🤢 (WARNING: their website is not for the squeamish in parts...)

The attraction is not one of a Jimmy Savile extracurricular Leeds mortuary nature but more the chance to have a lightweight human looking companion I can actually live with as I have trouble forming relationships 😔 I have been juggling some figures around and very tempted to bite the bullet and go for it. I can actually afford Jess, but I have no idea of the process of shipping anything this large from the US and whether I can afford the shipping? (For the records, she stands about 5ft6ins tall and weighs about 15kg)

My question is then, i'm wondering if anyone has any experience of importing a doll from the US? I know if something like a Real Doll it would be a lot heavier than Jessica but any info on the process and rough costs would be ideal. (Every year her price goes up and I wonder if this year might be the last time I can do something about it...)

Hello Jool,

Put one in a shopping cart and go through the ordering process, but stop before clicking buy and it should tell you how much the shipping will cost.

Ask the vendor if tax is included in their shipping price (may not be and that can add another 20% or so - but the vendor might put on the paperwork that it’s not worth much to avoid import tax.)

I’ve bought plenty of things from USA, just the same as buying from any other foreign country. Not bought anything that big though.

Remember, you are the importer, so you are legally responsible for knowing the import laws of your country (not the vendor.) As long as it’s legal, no problem.

Not for me, it wouldn’t be very cuddly. I like to cuddle my dolls 🤗. And I also like to give them a big kiss 😘.

Good luck!
