Want to Buy a Sex Doll on AliExpress?

"For that price, I could purchase TWO identical dolls directly from China"

"For that price, I could purchase TWO identical dolls directly from China" - we still sometimes hear this phrase.

People go on AliExpress and see supposedly the same dolls, but twice as cheap, or even 3 times cheaper. Happy about the find, they contact the Chinese sellers, receive factory photos supposedly of those dolls, then place their order, transfer the money, and start waiting.

And after 1 - 2 months, they receive their doll. But it's nothing like what they ordered.

In the best case, the sex doll only vaguely resembles what they saw in the photo. It's completely oily, giving off a dreadful smell of paraffin.

The makeup has partially rubbed off, and the eyelashes have stuck to the paper in which the head was wrapped.

And these aren't horror stories; we've described the TOP-3 problems our clients who had previously been burnt and purchased a fake on AliExpress have told us about.

Why does this happen?

Reason No. 1 - Chinese Legislation

The legal system in the PRC is such that they don't care about violating laws in another country, let alone the rights of citizens from another country. Therefore, by deceiving you and sending a product that doesn't match the description, the seller will not face any consequences in China.

Yes, such mechanisms exist. Moreover, they work, and you can resolve disputes through them! However there's a catch that sellers on AliExpress will surely use in such cases.

For goods costing over £500, the seller has the right to demand a return to their warehouse for a technical inspection. This means that in the event of a conflict, you will be asked to send the package to the other side of the planet at your own expense (!), which can be around £300 - £400 for shipping.

And this also doesn't guarantee that after several months of "technical inspection," you will get a refund for your order - because, from the seller's perspective, they have fulfilled their obligations, and if you didn't like the product - that's your subjective opinion.

Do you think many people deceived decide to go through such a procedure? Very few. And that's exactly what such sellers are counting on.

Reason No. 2 - Pricing of a Realistic Sex Doll

Let's delve into the case of a TPE doll.

1 kg of high-quality TPE costs on average £14/kg. A model of average build and realistic height requires about 30 - 40 kg of material. Additionally, oil, antifungal additives, dyes, deodorants, antibacterial coatings, etc., need to be included. Strictly speaking, the composition of a doll is a VERY complex formula because, besides the mechanical properties that replicate the sensation of human skin, the material must also last long, be hypoallergenic, and not breed bacteria.

A normal, high-quality model contains all the aforementioned additives in its material composition. Naturally, cheaper alternatives cut corners here.

A quality metal skeleton, even considering its welding and direct manufacturing at the factory, will cost the manufacturer at least £40 - £80 (In the case of an EVO-skeleton, even more).

A significant portion of the doll's cost goes towards paying sculptors and artists. Fake factories literally mass-produce models - casting them in moulds, then with minimal post-processing, "slap on" makeup and box them up. This is exactly why their dolls look so poor. They are cast in absolutely the same moulds as the branded models - fake factories usually buy old moulds from reputable factories. But practically no work is done after the material cools down.

Logistics, electricity, rent, and, of course, the factory's profit. On average, manufacturers mark up the cost of the doll by 20% to 40%. Shipping a package weighing nearly 40 kg halfway across the world is also a very costly endeavour. Therefore, all this significantly increases the price of the finished model.

Simple maths shows that a sex doll cannot cost less than £800-1000.

On AliExpress, it's practically impossible to buy a high-quality sex doll from well-known brands. Simply because it's more profitable and convenient for a major brand to work with online stores than to maintain their own army of managers. On AliExpress, in 99% of cases, you'll find the cheapest brands or scammers selling fakes as if they were branded products.

Not at all. Some brands are sold on AliExpress, but there are 3 important nuances:

The seller will be the same Chinese vendor who simply buys them at the factory, marks up their profit, and sells via AliExpress, not through an online store. But, as we've written above, they won't bear any responsibility towards you. You're buying a pig in a poke, with no guarantees that the doll you ordered is what you'll receive.

Such a doll will cost no less than £1600. So, you're not saving money. For example, TPE dolls from Irontech Doll. The brand has become very popular, and many Chinese sellers resell it on AliExpress. But the cost there is almost always higher than on the websites of official partners. This happens because brands give exclusive pricing to their affiliated partners, so retailer websites will always offer a better price.

If you fully trust the seller on AliExpress, you can place an order. There's a chance you will receive a TPE doll. Otherwise, we would advise you to turn to affiliated partners. Always pay attention to where the seller's company is registered. If it's your country or a country whose legislation is closely linked to yours (for example, the USA and the UK), such a seller will bear full responsibility towards you.
