8 Tips for Shopping Black Friday Blythe Deals

  1. Make a wishlist before the sales start. Decide on hair, skin, eyes and style in advance. Our design your own Blythe doll guide helps.
  2. Know normal prices. A deal is only a deal if you know the usual price. See how much a Blythe doll costs.
  3. Watch out for fake sale shops. Sales season brings copycat sites with prices that are too good to be true. Our honest buyer’s guide shows the warning signs.
  4. Check shipping and duties. Free, tracked shipping with duties included saves surprises. See Blythe doll import duties.
  5. Read the refund policy before you buy, not after.
  6. Order gifts early. Made-to-order dolls take time to finish and ship.
  7. Use coupons carefully. Only use codes from the shop’s own emails or website.
  8. Set a budget. The happiest collectors buy what they love, not everything on sale.
