This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The next time everyone I talk to says, “Don’t do business with this guy, ” I’m gong to listen. Everyone told me he was the worst they’ve ever encountered, customer-service wise, and that, once he had your money, he would either ignore your emails, or respond to them rudely or confrontationally. They were right. I paid him $1000 for a Marilyn Monroe mannequin and custom 1950’s wig in the style she made famous. I waited the five weeks he told me it would take to ship. Then, when I politely inquired about when it would be shipped, he copped an attitude. After seven weeks, the mannequin arrived, but without the wig. When I asked why the wig was missing, he went off on me and told me, if you don’t like my service, send the mannequin back. Well, folks, a mannequin costs $100 to ship and I had already invested $240 in enhancements by having the country’s premier makeup artist do the makeup on her face. So, not only could I not return it, I would lose $100 shipping, even if that was possible. Now, he has basically told me I’ll never see the wig. So, in return for my $1000, I have a useless item. Whoever heard of displaying a bald-headed Marilyn Monroe? Stay away from Jim Warren and Vaudeville Mannequins, and you won’t have to learn the hard way, like I did.

I have a similar experience with Jim Warren. I bought 2 mannequins and when I got them the makeup was not the same as the picture he provides. He said he would pick them up and refund. Needless to say that did not happen. I had to open Paypal dispute and returned them at my cost. Still after 2 weeks has not refunded and had to escalate the claim. I am glad I had a signature confirmation. This company very shady I am so sorry I ran across them. The mannequins do not look like the photos they look like they were painted in some sweat shop somewhere.
This is a company to stay away from if you do not like what he sends he will not stand behind his mercahdise.
Wish I had researched more before I bought so hope this helps his next victim
