Note: Dolls are carefully packaged for shipping, if wigs/ heads can be opened without damage the inside is packed to avoid movement to eye mechanisms. IF the head can not be packed inside we carefully position the eyes in sleep mode and wrap with terry like cloth than tissue and then tape the area to avoid any damage to the eyes and bisque, the doll is wrapped in tissue, then paper than bubble wrap, usually double or triple layer, the dolls are placed in popcorn in center of boxes, double boxed if size and such dictates.
