Anya Doll order from Volks

[Purple Keisha]

I'm trying to figure out the shipping timeline of an Anya doll I ordered from the Volks Japan website and. I've heard that their Japan orders usually ship out before the US orders. Since she's going to my old address, I need to know when I'll have to go and pick her up. I'm just trying to get a rough idea based on past doll releases.

Do any of you have experience with ordering directly from Volks Japan? How much of a head start do their orders usually get before the US shipments go out?

Orders from Japan usually ship in 5-14 days after launch if there are no lotteries or special events. Orders from the US usually show up a week or two later, depending on customs and how stuff is handed out internally.

Volks Japan usually ships domestic orders a few days to a week before international ones. So if your US address was still active, the dolls often leave Japan first, then hit customs, and finally the US

Japan orders usually ship 2 to 4 weeks ahead of US releases, but it varies by doll type, the limited editions move faster than standard releases.
Which Anya are we talking about, the new FCS or a different line?
