What to do if I ordered specially made bobblehead dolls for my bridal party but the manufacturer made the dolls poorly and shipped them just as poorly, causing a few to break?

They shipped the dolls without requiring that we pay because we had so many problems with the entire process. They did not deliver as ordered, do I have to pay? They will not answer my phone calls or emails– and I call or email daily. It’s been weeks since we received the broken dolls and they wont provide a return address to have them replaced or fixed. I am ready to fix the dolls myself, but I don’t think I should pay. Am I legally required?

If you ordered certain bobbleheads for your wedding and many arrived damaged, you should not be expected to pay for the damaged items. I would write the company the problems you have sending copies of photographs showing the damage. In your letter which you should keep a copy, mention that you will not pay for the order until the problem is resolved.
