I ordered 3 anatomic torso's from them with the full legs(a seriously low close-out price) on them..they are from an artist Carol K and originally cost $79.95 each..you know the kind that go up to just below the chest(where the cloth body would show)and all the rest below is soft vinyl..I hope I actually get them...then I will buy 3 more kits to go with them.
I wanted Cathy R's anatomic torso kits,but she keep goofing me around by changing the shipping date over and over and are really nice and were only $49.95 each with arms and legs
I have ordered from them awhile ago. I didn't have any trouble then, but I see on thier google checkout some people are experiencing communication troubles with them. They are having one heck of a sale though!
DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT order from RDK. They are not honest at all. There is absolutely no guarantee that you will ever get your kits. Please, do yourself a favor and order from anywhere other than RDK.

The woman who owns RDK is such a fraud!!!! I found a site where she has burned alot of ppl who are reborners.. for many years. She took advantage of many ppl and I was one of them I am not sure what to do..
I want to cry and I don't have no clue what to do now... I am praying I didn't lose my money that I earned cause where I live I work hard for it.
I will be a ninja and she will write me back or else!!!! She will get tired of me sending her email... Worried alot now. I was excited but not any more!!!

There is an interenet fraud website you can go to report any sites that are dishonest I'm not sure if they can get your money back but you can report the incident. =(
Upon researching it further I see this website has been doing this for a couple of years so far =( I guess at one point you could go through paypal as payment but no longer can I guess there were just too many complaints so paypal in no longer connected to them. I personally would file a complaint throught the fbi internet web fraud site. Like I said I ordered awhile ago from there and had no problem...I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I see though some artist spent hundreds of dollars there and never heard from them again...no kits...no money...no email =( research dates this back to at least 2008! Amazing she hasn't been shut down yet. It's so sad.

I ordered from them about 1 1/2 ago so I don't know. I would say maybe 50/50 chance but looking at the web at other complaints it may be less =( Hopefully you used a credit card and will be able to get a reimbursement of protection through them.
I payed for them with no problem I haven't gotten my order in the mail yet. I am hoping she is a good christian woman who wouldn't be a fraud. But I will keep you posted on if I get mind or not....
Yea my budget is like about 80.00 and I spent like 62.50.... So I bugged her twice last night and she told me that ppl are jealous of her and that she is closing her business because she feels its time to move on but doesn't want to leave the reborn industeries all together.. She still wants to sell some reborn kits. Because ppl are being dishonest and "hogging" the industry and the reborn's that are like limited editions and ect.
I felt she was being honest but at the same time it was like she wanted to tell me what she thought I wanted to hear.. if that makes sense?
I told her that I was a christian and I came right out and asked if she is a fraud... she told me that she fell ill and had to reimburse customers with cash or merchandise... and that's how paypal fell into the mix.... I guess they suspended her account for six months and this is how the nasty "humors" got started. I don't know who to believe But I did ask her though to check my status on my order as I was taken advantage of before... So she was like I was taken advantage of by business ppl and by whatever she said.... In all of what she wrote I just feel like she was tallking me a line of crap ( can I say crap?) to make me feel better. But I told my b/f and mom that if I don't recieve my order in a couple days, I might just give her extra time and by the date I feel I should have recieved them comes up she will hear from me every day until she sends me my order.... she also says she is back logged with lots of orders and that she is sending them as she recieves them so if 5 ppl ordered before me then I would have to wait until she sends those... How stupid if you ask me.... But What do I know I am only 24 years old!!!! so yea....

Yea I did read she supossely fell ill a couple of years ago swine flu or something. I hope she is honest and send the kits people paid for. It would be so sad to find out this has been going on for years and no one has put a stop to it yet. I guess anything is possible....I guess you just have to wait and see at this point. Did she give you a reasonable time for expected delivery? 7 days ? 1-2 weeks? She should have some idea I wold think other than "first come first serve"
Well she did not say how long since there was lot of orders which backed logged her/them... The normal she says is 3-5 days cause she sends them either UPS or USPS... so I will be waiting.... She did reply to my first and second email.. and I had my mom and b/f read it they both say she sounds sincer(? spelling bad)lol and that she seems to be honest through what they read. My b/f is one of them ppl who can tell by how you type/write and the wording as well... so lets keep our fingers crossed... lol
I am a little calmer than last night lol. I freak out first then I come to my senses

I met her at IDEX a few years back, and she seemed very nice. I never ordered from them because there was a statement on the website that said the vinyl was not meant to be baked / heated or some such thing. To me, this meant I could not use my heat set paint method.
You should have the order within 2 weeks max unless you live outside the US.
Good luck, y'all!

I asked her at (rdk) if her kits she sells are non-toxic? She told me that they are non-toxic more than other ones out there.
She does seem nice with what little I have talked with her. She didn't get me a estimated time either.... I would ask her if But it puts her behind.
And with her only shipping on Mondays and Fridays it's hard to tell.
You will see your stuff..... (hoping lol) My b/f and mom read her replies she gave me and they both seem to think I will get my stuff.
I feel concerned at this time. But I am going to give it about 2 weeks before I get super angry.... I am sure with such a huge sale like she put on this last week and is going to have another one... she must be over whelmed. I am not making excuses I just could imagine myself getting over whelmed... But I would be shipping every day not just on Mondays and Fridays... That's my opinion and I am hoping that what she said is true about her kits she told me. But people say alot of things to sell their stuff.... I do know this for a fact, so if any of you get your kits before I do please let me know if they do okay in your ovens.

Maybe RDK changed the vinyl mix so it can take paints cured in the oven. That would be wonderful. Good luck with all of this. I hope y'all don't have problems and get your merchandise so you can enjoy and feel good about the sale.

Maybe things are better for her. I read in the google check out for her site that people still weren't getting orders from April. Maybe she's just WAY behind.
I know I can be impatiance sometimes but I really hope this isn't the case that she is that behind... Maybe she shouldn't have had a sale until the people who bought from her got theres.
Frustrated!!!! that's it all I can say.....

Hang in there Jodie, think positive and give it some time. Maybe she is truly just behind a bit. I do agree though if she was behind before then maybe she should have held off on such a big sale until she could get all the orders out in a timely manner.

About a year or 2 ago, there were lots of issues with RDK. Mostly them not shipping when they said they did, minimal or no communication, LOTS of disgruntled buyers. There were those few that were satisfied but about 95% not. I had heard that most of that was cleared up, just a few were having issues. That jealous part and all that other bull is just that... bull. After hearing from the people that were having issues with RDK, I believe that she just has "issues" herself (IMHO) and she doesn't admit that the issues are on her end. I have avoided buying from them ever since. I don't mean to bash a company but the evidence was overwhelming!
As far as her kits being non-toxic now, they would have had to drastically changed their vinyl mixture and also not had their kits made in China. And unless she is personally involved in the making of the kits, she, like any other doll seller (except Secrist/AV, and DD) would have to know the forumula and the where. I totally trust DD because their kits are made in Germany where rules are extremely strict. And Secrist says on their website that their doll kits made in the USA are non-toxic. Anyone else that says that are just guessing because they are the sellers not the manufacturers. (I believe we have discussed this at length in another topic thread, use search).
So I hope everyone gets their orders ok. Keep us posted. :)
I kind of figured that she just "told me" that they were non- toxic just to satisify me... I am afraid that they are not non- toxic.. and that I am afraid use them...lol but I guess I should buy another electric oven just in case for my reborning.. as I didn't buy secrist, I thought the price was good.. and so I just jumped in without asking questions here and asking at rdk... however I did send her an email just to ask.. I think? Well I just don't know to think..
Pat B. How could I find out if they are non toxic? Is there a way I can tell or a search I can do?
Thank you for any answers and suggestions!!!! You guys are the best...

A friend of mine on another forum ordered from her a few days ago. She went to check on the status and is said on order or in process or something like that. money was taken from the bank account she used, So she emails Cindy asking when she may expect to receive her order well she emailed back that she(cindy) cancelled the order and if she want to she(myfriend) can reorder. Well there has not been any refund to her bank account or notification of a cancellation through an email? I mean wouldn't there be some kind of notification indicating a refund? My friend would have never known anything if she didn't happen to email RDK. I mean any time I've cancelled something or it has been canceled that I ordered online I received some kind of email as proof.
I would think there would have been something to notify your friend... I am sending an email I am going to find out what she will say to me. And I will let you guys know... I can't believe she would cancle an order... Since she is closing her business up....

It's been 12 days since I placed my order with her...my bank guarantees my money..she will have to try to fool the federal police...I'l wait another 3-5 days,if I don't get a tracking number I'm having my payment to her acccount revoked..and have her investigated on a federal violation
I would..... for me it has been 8 days since I ordered not including the day I bought mine... We shall see.... I sent in an email to her asking how long does she think it will be before I see my order.... Reply ZERO.... I am hoping she will send one tonight or tomorrow!

Okay I was just on RDK right.. and on the home page she has a photo of orders she explains that the orders on left were already shipped out. and the ones on the RIGHT have been shipped out On MONDAY JULY 19, 2010... and you should receive them anytime!
So she worded it really funny but I figured out what she meant!!!..... all of us who ordered from her let's keep our fingers crossed..

I don't really want to think she isn't going to send my torso's...I would be more upset not to get these Carol Kneisley torso's than losing the $62...these are quite difficult to come by..
This would surely help when I finally get my Holly kit and be able to use one of these anatomical torso's with the kit...a further advancement in my art

Looks like my torso's were most likely sold to another...here is what she wrote the email today:
Steve:
This order was put on my desk as we ran out of the torsos early on and needs to be refunded. If you would like to apply it towards another order instead, just place the order and mark it as payment by check or money order. Your total amount was $62.97.
I apologize for not having them, but we may be reordering and I will give them to you at this discount.
