NEWS FROM TASINA:
We are trasitioning.  As Azone is now using the WorldShopping app, I asked if I could retire from being a Distributor and they gracefully accepted. Those of you who have back orders, I will still receive and send those out to you when they are shipped to me. TASINA will now become a re-direction site. For those of you who do not speak Japanese and/or do not know how to have your computer translate the Azone site, this site will be updated with news about the new offerings in English and will direct you to the WorldShopping site to buy your item in English.
The idea for TASINA started in 2005 at an IFDC convention, when I met the two gentlemen who own and operate Azone. A few family and friends about 10 were my first to have me buy their dolls for them. and when the TASINA site went up, other people discovered us. I thought COVID would end TASINA, but quite the contrary as customers suddenly had more time to shop!!! I have now lost count of the number of people who use TASINA.
I would like to thank C.H. and T.H. of Azone for putting their faith in me and allowing me to start TASINA. It has been so much fun and it is really hard to give it all up. However my three grandsons have followed in their Nannie's footsteps and now all play baseball. Yes I was a pitcher in the Men/Women's Community leagues and just loved it. I started playing baseball as a six year old with the boys in our neighbourhood and didn't stop until my first child was born!!! My girls chose other hobbies and baseball was put under wraps. Now with three boys in the game...
I want to thank each and every one of you who used TASINA to further their doll collections. I loved sharing our doll collecting experience with you all. I am not severing ties from Azone, I consider the two gentlmen who helped me start this as best friends. Please visit TASINA to use it as a guide to using the Worldshopping site and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to message me for help.
I am still a collector and will still be buying the lines I collect from Azone.
Thank you for putting your trust in me and I wish you much success in all your dolly endeavours.

THANK YOU!!!

Updated shipping dates, see below

WORLD CLOCK

Due to delays in the production of some parts used in the body of the following products, and due to the paralysis of distribution functions in major production countries, and now due to the Tariff imposed on Canada by USA, the release date will be changed.
To date, the export situation of major producing countries continues to be confused.

The following are the updated shipping dates.

*Processing involves packaging, weighing and measuring the package, calculating the 35% Tariff, and invoicingfor that Tariff.  Then when payments are received for the invoices, I start printing the labels, attaching them to the packages, and shipping the packages.  I have no help with any of this so it takes me a bit when I have a large order to process. So you can estimate 1 to 2 weeks after arrival date above, depending on size of shipment.
