Families who love Aiko
“I ordered the Japanese mini Aiko doll for my granddaughter for Easter and know she will love her! Aiko is so cute and easy to carry. I sent several questions to joeydolls. They respond quickly and are a very caring & understanding company. I would most certainly order from them again...”
“It brought tears to my eyes when I saw Aiko for the first time! I appreciated the attention to detail and the cultural accuracy of her attire. It was also larger than I thought it was going to be which was an unexpected bonus...”
“We bought this doll for our 3 year old daughter. She absolutely loves having a doll that "matches" her hair color, and that of her family members. The doll itself is a great quality and I'm so excited for her to have the opportunity to enjoy this time with it...”
“My daughter loves our Japanese doll. It’s sometimes hard to be confident and feel proud of yourself when you are from different background in overseas when your group is under represented but this doll helped my daughter feel proud and confident about her background...”

How does free shipping work?
Free shipping starts at a merchandise subtotal of $120 CAD in Canada, $120 USD in the US or $120 AUD in Australia, after all discounts and before shipping and taxes. A discount can bring an order below the threshold. The threshold applies to one delivery address per order; separate orders cannot be combined to qualify. We cannot split one order across multiple addresses.
We ship to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Orders to the US, Canada and Australia have no duties or tariffs. New Zealand orders have paid shipping, calculated at checkout, and are not part of the free-shipping offer. Pickup is not available. Final shipping options and charges are shown at checkout.
Can my order ship in a box?
Orders usually ship in a mailer bag. You can add a shipping box + tissue in your cart: your order then ships in a shipping box with Joeydolls tissue and tape instead. It isn't gift-wrapped and there's no separate keepsake box. Check that it appears in your order summary.
Some bundles already ship in a box (their list of included items says so), so you don't need to add it again. A digital gift card is delivered by email and needs no packaging.
Where does Joeydolls ship?
We currently ship to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Final available destinations, shipping options and charges are shown at checkout.
How long will my order take to arrive?
In-stock orders are typically processed in 2–5 business days, followed by the delivery estimate shown at checkout. Preorders follow their product-specific shipping window, then transit time. Orders containing a preorder ship together when all items are ready.
What is your return policy?
You can request a return within 21 days of delivery for eligible unused items in their original packaging. See our Refund Policy for the full details.
Play with purpose
What I wished for as a child, made for yours
Growing up, I never had a doll that looked like me or celebrated where my family came from. When I became a mom and still couldn't find one for my daughter, we made them. Every Joeydoll is designed with cultural care, so more children can see themselves, their families and their traditions in everyday play.
