15 useful questions to ask a reborn doll supplier before a quote

A ready-to-use supplier checklist for materials, variations, packing and service.

Product identity

Ask for the exact product name, SKU, variation and latest representative photographs. Confirm whether the item is available now or made to order. If several sizes appear in the same gallery, identify which images match the quoted size.

Construction details

Request material by body part; finished length and weight; whether the body is solid, hollow, jointed or fabric-filled; the hair method; eye type; paint or finish details; and safe range of movement. These answers often matter more than a broad “realistic doll” claim.

Included items

Ask whether the doll comes dressed, what garments and props are included, and whether a care sheet, certificate or gift box is provided. Request itemised pricing for optional extras or custom finishing.

Service and timing

Confirm production or preparation lead time, shipping cost to your destination, delivery estimate, tracking, insurance options, duty handling, and what happens if the variation differs from the description. Ask how problems should be documented after arrival.

How CATDOLL can help

Place the dolls of interest in a single enquiry basket, include your country and approximate quantities, and list any essential preferences. Our team can use that information to clarify a quote without asking you to rebuild the list from scratch.
