A silicone doll delivery checklist helps you inspect a new arrival before cleaning, assembly or styling changes its condition. Begin with the parcel, compare the contents with your confirmed order, and document anything that needs clarification before attempting a repair or adjustment.
The aim is not to test every feature immediately. It is to establish what arrived, whether the visible condition raises any concerns, and which instructions you need before moving on to first use.
Keep your order confirmation, a camera and a clear unpacking area ready. If you notice damage or a possible configuration mismatch, pause and contact the seller with a specific description.
Silicone Doll Delivery Checklist: The Essential Checks
- Check the parcel label and photograph the unopened box.
- Record visible packaging damage before removing protective materials.
- Unpack carefully, keeping accessories and documents together.
- Compare the delivered configuration with the final order confirmation.
- Inspect visible surfaces and components without forcing movement.
- Retain the packaging and report unresolved issues promptly.
- Begin assembly and first-use care only when the relevant instructions and any concerns are resolved.
This is an inspection sequence, not a substitute for the instructions supplied with your exact model or the terms applicable to your order.
1. Prepare the Space Before Opening the Parcel
Choose a private, well-lit area with enough room for the box, the doll and the separate accessories. Clear the route from the delivery point before moving the parcel. Arrange help if its weight or shape makes handling uncertain.
Prepare a clean, stable, padded support suitable for the model’s weight. Remove jewelry, sharp objects and loose hardware that could catch the surface. Keep packaging tools away from the place where you will set the doll down.
Have the final order confirmation available rather than relying on memory. Include any written changes agreed after checkout. A useful inspection compares the delivered item with what was actually ordered, not with every styling detail in a promotional photograph.
For questions about the delivery process itself, refer to AivoraDolls’ Shipping & Delivery information. The checklist below focuses on what to do once the parcel arrives.
2. Record the Outer Packaging Before Unboxing
Check that the recipient and tracking details correspond to your delivery. Photograph the box from several sides before opening it, especially if there are crushed corners, punctures, wet areas or disturbed tape.
Start with an overview that shows where an issue is located, then take a closer image. A close-up of torn cardboard alone can be difficult to place later. Keep the label readable in your private records, but obscure personal details in any image you choose to share publicly.
If the parcel is visibly damaged while the courier is present, ask how to record its condition under that carrier’s procedure. There is no single accept-or-refuse instruction that covers every shipment; follow the applicable delivery terms and seek prompt guidance from the seller when needed.
Do not immediately discard the box or padding. For example, UPS’s U.S. claims guidance tells recipients to retain damaged contents and packaging, and describes the photographs it may request. Use the requirements for your actual carrier and service; this example does not imply that every AivoraDolls order ships with UPS.
3. Unpack in Stages and Keep the Contents Organized
Locate the intended opening and follow any unpacking directions supplied. Avoid pushing a blade deeply through the carton or cutting where you cannot see what is underneath. Open one layer at a time and photograph the internal arrangement before removing it if damage is suspected.
Set small packages, documents and accessories in a separate area. Check folds and compartments before treating protective material as empty. Do not pull the doll out by a hand, foot, head or loose accessory; use the model-specific handling method and get help if needed.
Should you record an unboxing video?
A video can supplement your photographs by showing the sequence of opening and inspection. Position the camera before handling the parcel so filming does not interfere with a safe lift. Keep clear still images of any concern as well.
Do not assume that a video is a universal condition of support or a guarantee of a claim outcome. Follow the evidence requirements communicated for your order and carrier.
4. Compare the Contents with Your Confirmed Configuration
Work through the order one item at a time. Mark each entry as present, unclear or apparently different. This is more useful than deciding that the whole delivery “looks right” or “looks wrong.”
- Body and head: compare the delivered design with the confirmed selection and any order-specific photographs.
- Appearance: check the agreed skin tone, hair and other selected visible details.
- Separate items: account for accessories, detachable components and any tools explicitly listed as included.
- Instructions: locate the information needed for assembly, handling and care, whether supplied on paper or digitally.
- Unclear features: ask for a model-specific way to verify anything that cannot be checked visually.
Do not dismantle the doll to prove that an internal option is present. Some features require documentation or a prescribed check rather than a visual inspection.
If an item appears missing, check the remaining packaging and any separate-parcel information before reporting it. State exactly what is unaccounted for. Clothing and props shown in catalog photography should only be expected when they were included in the order.
5. Inspect the Visible Condition Before Making Changes
Use even lighting and inspect the parts you can see without unsupported lifting or forced repositioning. Start with the overall appearance, then look more closely at the face, hands, feet, surface details and accessible connection areas.
Look for cuts, open seams, detached details, unexpected discoloration, exposed internal parts or damaged connectors. If something concerns you, take an overview and a close-up before touching or treating the area. Never open a tear further to make it more visible.
Describe what you see before deciding what caused it
A useful observation is precise: “There is a narrow opening beside the left wrist” or “The hair supplied differs from the option listed in my confirmation.” Avoid guessing that an issue was caused by production, packing or transit when the evidence does not establish that.
For a color or finish question, photograph the whole area and the detail under the same neutral lighting, without filters. A screen image alone may not settle a subtle comparison. Ask the seller to review the difference rather than automatically dismissing it as lighting or declaring a defect.
Do not begin with stain remover, glue, heat, powder or cosmetic touch-ups. An attempted correction can alter the condition you need assessed. Keep the doll supported and wait for appropriate guidance if you find a concern.
6. Treat Assembly and Movement as Separate Steps
Completing the visual inspection does not mean that every feature should be tested immediately. Read the model-specific assembly and movement instructions first, particularly for detachable heads, joints, standing systems or powered options.
Do not force a connector that does not seat as described, tighten an unfamiliar fitting by guesswork or test a joint to its maximum range. If the instructions are missing or unclear, leave that step incomplete and ask for the correct procedure.
If you encounter unexpected resistance, instability or an exposed component, stop. Do not repeatedly recreate the problem for a video. Likewise, do not connect power to a component that appears damaged or wet. A delivery inspection is not a stress test.
7. Begin First-Use Care After Inspection
Once the configuration has been checked and any concerns are resolved, follow the supplied first-use care instructions. Photograph unexplained marks before cleaning them so you retain a record of the arrival condition.
Use the silicone doll cleaning guide for the general sequence, while following the directions for the specific materials and components in your model. Do not assume the body, makeup, hair and electrical features tolerate the same cleaning method.
If you will not use or display the doll immediately, prepare an approved supported position and ensure cleaned areas are fully dry. Our silicone doll storage guide explains the relevant precautions. Do not assume the shipping position is also suitable for long-term storage.
What to Send the Seller If Something Needs Attention
A concise report makes it easier to understand what you received and what remains unresolved. Contact AivoraDolls support with:
- Your order number, tracking number and delivery date.
- The specific item, option or area you are asking about.
- An overview photograph and clear close-up images.
- Relevant packaging images if the parcel or contents appear damaged.
- A brief account of what you noticed and any steps already taken.
Keep the original files and share personal order details through the official support channel, not in a public comment. Retain the packaging while a damage issue is being assessed, and ask before arranging a return or attempting repair.
Report concerns promptly and check the applicable order and carrier requirements. This checklist does not create a new reporting deadline, return entitlement or refund guarantee.
Finish with a Clear Record, Not a Rushed Setup
Your silicone doll delivery checklist is complete when you have documented the parcel, checked the contents, recorded visible concerns and identified any instructions still needed. An unresolved item should stay on the list until you receive clarification.
Taking that time before dressing, posing or modifying the doll gives you a reliable starting record and a more considered first experience. Keep the confirmation, photographs and care instructions together so they remain easy to find when needed.
