Merbellas Thread

[polyhymnia113]

Raven mentioned somewhere it was a new upgrade for an added cost when she first announced it. I think she may have "grandfathered-in" a few tails and included it for some already on order / in production for whom it wasn't yet an option at the time they ordered and paid.

RAVEN JUST SENT ME AN EMAIL THAT MY TAIL IS DONE AND WILL BE SHIPPED OUT ON TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. I also got lots of pictures but they are too big to attach. if any one knows how to fix this problem i would love to know!

Annika that's so exciting!!! As for the pictures you'd probably have to resize them manually using some kind of picture editing software. Paint.Net is free to download and use <3

Yay!
What are you waiting for?? I look forward to see them

i wasn't aware the nude waist was extra? i had it done for nothing more.

yeah that's what i thought as well? o-o unless that changed recently

[Mer-Crazy]

I was charged for it when I ordered in August, so I'm assuming it's a paid extra now, which I think is a completely reasonable thing, since it's exclusive to Merbellas and obviously is more work than just a normal waist. I also don't think it's unreasonably priced, I had no complaints about paying extra, heck I expected it. I'd like to know if anyone ordered after me and got it and whether they had to pay or not. Maybe I'm just unlucky haha. Here's my invoice:

i am waiting for my tail and here's a photo!

Be aware also that the nude waist is a $150 upgrade.

And I'm assuming when you say tax you mean the import tax your country charges when you get it? Because Raven's prices are GST (not sure if that's the abbreviation everywhere sorry) included. And if that's the case, remember you'll have 200-300 days to save for that, so you won't need it until August at the earliest, but more likely November-ish.

Another thing, (I'm not aware of your situation so I'm going off the assumption you're just going to email and hope for the best) is the actual chance of getting an order spot with Raven. It's exceedingly difficult. I only got in because I was a previous customer. So even though you're ready you may not get a spot straight away.

Not that I'm trying to discourage you at all! I'm not. Raven is amazing and your designs are beautiful (I like the aqua/green one). I'm just trying to make sure you're well informed.

Yes I do mean import tax. we had GST and PST before but they "harmonized" (aka combined) our taxes so now it's called HST.
I did have that experience where i did have a "ready to order" email sent to her with all the details so it would be easier for her, but i never got a response back so i just assumed she was occupied... :P still, i won't give up lol!! thank you for the headsup though it was much appreciated.

[polyhymnia113]

Amazing news! !! I am so excited for you! I don't kniw how to fix the uploading large pics issue but I hope someone else does so you can post the photos super soon!!

if it costs extra to do a blended waist i won't get it :P no biggie lol.

[annika]

maybe its the waist transition upgrade not the nude waist

[Mer-Crazy]

Just having the waist painted the same as your skin tone (blended waist) is free as far as I know. But the new translucent waist (like what Raina has with Mega Rapidash) and on this tail is a $150 upgrade, just to clarify sorry >.<

[SeaGlass Siren]

oh that's what it was? xD ok so i must be safe then i'll just get it coloured to my skin tone

[Merman Arion]

Your pictures are gorgeous! I love classic mermaid tails

What monofin is inside?

Sorry for the confusion haha

[SeaGlass Siren]

[SeaGlass Siren]

Yay, I was going to vote for that. I think the "stars" will make the tail look awesome.

[SeaGlass Siren]

I'm thinking it'll just be paint brush flicks or paint splatters. :P which i am totally ok with.
