How to Replace the Eyes on an American Girl Doll

The American Girl Doll company sells a wide range of dolls to suit different age groups and interests. In addition to baby dolls and historical young girl dolls, they also offer a full set of books and accessories. The company offers a repair service to replace doll parts and limbs. The service is called the doll hospital. To get your doll's eyes fixed, you need only to send it in to the company for a stay at the "doll hospital" where the doll will be repaired and sent back to you in a hospital gown, bearing a certificate of good health.

  Seal your box and detach the address label that is provided at the right of the admittance form. Attach the address label to your box. Send the box out through a local shipping service such as UPS or USPS. Don't forget, you have to pay for shipping, so talk to an agent at the shipping location to get the correct label.
