Customer reviews of CHIBI AKIHABARA

well-packaged package but no tracking information

The figurines were not well protected enough in the box, bubble wrap on 180° is not enough. It needs to be placed all around underneath and above if possible. As a result, the boxes arrived crushed. Fortunately, the figurines are fine... When you choose to pay more to be delivered cleanly against signature, it would be nice not to be stuck all day waiting only to end up going to a pickup point... So yes, it's not your fault if DPD didn't do the job but having the option to choose might be better.. I still want to point out that the previous shipping team did well to end on a positive note.

Hello, very disappointed, I ordered 3 figurines very poorly protected in the box, so the 3 boxes are very damaged, the figurines were added back into their boxes so they were detected and then resealed, so really disappointed.

I ordered a large number of Banpresto figurines, almost all of them had already been opened and the boxes re-taped. They claim to sell new products, I requested a return as soon as I received my order on December 12, which was 8 days ago, and I have had no response to date. So, look for a more reliable site!

3 months to send a pre-order released at the end of August 2025 and once received, disappointed to find that it had been opened, without the internal protective plastic, wrapped in bubble wrap hastily and taped everywhere as if it had not been opened. Being a pre-order, the figurine was supposed to be sealed and new, which was not the case.

I preordered a Kirua Zoldik statue in June 2024, scheduled for September of the same year. A collaboration between the site and Kitsune Statue where they announce a super short delay between the preorder and delivery, so normally we expect reliable timelines. I received the statue in August 2025! (after 7 delays...) And in terms of quality, the face was below the images present on the site and even on the box (rounder face, different eye tilt). The character looks more like a sulky child than a killer... I really thought "all that waiting for this". And no instructions are provided to attach all the lightning bolts to the statue, they are delivered loose in bags and we try to figure out which goes where based on the photos on the box, it lacks finishing.

6 months delay on the expected delivery.....

I had to cancel the order for the first time because it was taking too long.. the figurine was supposed to arrive at the end of December 2024 and by the end of March 2025 still nothing, so I made the decision to cancel because it wasn't going to arrive in time for a birthday (it was a gift). I am well aware that it's not Chibi Akihabara's fault but the supplier's. But it's still very annoying ^^'

Waiting for the 2nd part of my order, waiting time much too long for a pre-order. I'll rate and give a real opinion once I've received everything, for now I'll leave it at that. Quite disappointed and astonished coming from Chibi, surely the last pre-order I make with them.

One of the flames decorating the Sukuna figurine was broken. This must have happened during transport. It was easily glued back together, but as it was a gift, it was a bit of a shame.

CHIBI AKIHABARA met the deadline and the package was well packed. Contents as advertised. However, the DPD France carrier, who was supposed to make a home delivery, didn't bother to drop by and went straight to the nearest post office to drop off the parcel. This is a deplorable attitude on the part of the carrier and I am very disappointed.

I've had several orders, and I was clearly disappointed with the last one. It's true that pre-orders can be delayed, and that's normal, but it would be nice to let the customer know by e-mail. And when there's no information available about a specific date, why not be transparent and just say so? The parcel I received arrived in poor condition, and I'm well aware that it's often the carrier's fault, but parcels can also be thicker and figurines individually protected. Fortunately, my figurines were unharmed. Then I cancelled a figurine from my order after 3 months of waiting and fearing it would never arrive. Noting in passing that on another site it says that the figurine in question is out of stock with all European distributors, even though I'm told it will arrive in December or early January. I find the refund period (30 days) rather long. To date, no refund. (Cancellation on 6/12, here we are on 20/12). Finally, I think it would be nice for your customers to receive a "commercial gesture" (free postage) when it comes to separating an order for a faster shipment following a delay of several months on a pre-order, rather than claiming the postage in this case. But of course, on this last point, each company does as it sees fit. In short, Chibi Akihabara remains for me a trustworthy site (official figurines), but certain points need to be reviewed. No more pre-ordering from them for me.

Zero, I made 4 attempts to sav and as luck would have it it does not work, I have the sword of my guts which is defective I am not satisfied and let it know in the commu of the collection

not serious! figurines pre-ordered 1 and a half years ago for a delivery scheduled 6 months later. since I had no news, I asked for a credit (since there is no refund if you use Paypal) no response .... and as luck would have it, the colli arrived a week after the request!

I never received the package :(

it arrived quickly but I would have liked to have a figurine but tampis

I am satisfied with my order however, the delays in my pre-order are annoying. I understand that Chibi Akihabara depends on these suppliers, but I find it annoying to wait for a given date and not have it respected. The seller should make a commercial offer or something, because waiting an extra 3 months on orders is unacceptable.

I've ordered from Chibi several times, and the experience has been less than ideal, particularly in terms of customer service. Out of more than ten orders placed, two bad experiences stand out:- a parcel considered delivered by the postal services and therefore by Chibi, was in fact undelivered. After filing a complaint for theft, no help came from customer service, nothing. In the end, the parcel reappeared two months later, by some magic (but not Chibi's).- More recently, and in order to give the site a second chance after several successful deliveries, I pre-ordered two figurines, available for May 2024. Debit occurred on March 2024. Okay, fine. In May 2024, an automatic e-mail tells me that delivery is finally scheduled for the end of July 2024. The other figurine is available but they won't send it to me, it's linked to the second one by the pre-order status. At the end of July 2024, no news from the site. So I'm forced to write to them. I receive another automatic e-mail telling me that the second figurine, which I've been waiting 6 months for, has once again been postponed until December 2024. Of course, there's no offer to send me the first figurine in the meantime. I finally asked for a refund, which took 30 days! As I write these lines, and since August 7, there's still no refund from Chibi, so I can see that customer service is bad, and business sense is clearly not this site's strong point. If you have any problems, you'll be on your own and no solution will come from them. I'll never order from them again.

Figure arrived in good condition but box and carton very damaged. Box arrived in a small cardboard box with no protection inside. Figurine box folded and dented.

plus:-good price-figure conforms-respects INITIAL deadlinesminus:-Poor protection of the box, which led to its damage-Bad delivery address -Erroneous delivery date change emails

I asked to be delivered to the parcel relay point of my choice, but the parcel ended up at the other end of town with restrictive delivery times. Apart from that, the parcel was top notch.

First figurine bought from you, very satisfied with the figurine but I had a lot of problems with the delivery and the deliveryman...It's a shame, hoping that if I recommend you one day it will go better in terms of delivery ????

I placed a pre-order over a year ago. The site easily answered my questions and queries about this one, no problem at all. However, compared with other sites, pre-orders take much longer to become available. This poses quite a few problems if you want to be sure of receiving your order without the product passing you by. Even though it's a supplier problem, it's quite stressful. What's more, the refund system is not at all up to scratch. I had to wait more than 3 months after having waited a year for my pre-order (still not shipped) and its cancellation (voluntary on my part) to be reimbursed after having contacted them several times as well as having gone to the japan stand, assuring myself that my order would be reimbursed more quickly. I still had to contact them again and wait a week for my money. That's why I don't recommend this site if you ever pre-order.

No response to emails despite reminders. Cancellation requests ignored and censorship on social networks when confronted with the facts.

I waited 5 months for my order, but in the end I didn't even get all of it. Disappointed and I will not return to your site.

The figurine box arrived damaged, whereas the parcel was intact. By this I mean that the box with the figurine was placed in the parcel already damaged by the pieces of tape present. I'm so disgusted that I haven't yet opened the box to check the figurine.

Figure too small for the price

I paid a pre-order of 799 EUR with them in 2023.The delivery date is in 1 month.After that, it's 8 months of silence, with no delivery or notification.In 2024, I discovered that this order was still undelivered.I asked about it, was told to cancel the order and waited another month for the refund.In the end, I was refunded 785.17 EUR.I asked why I lost money.I was told that I was the one who cancelled and according to their T&Cs, it's my responsibility and the transaction fees are my responsibility. Definitely a site to avoid. ==============Update================They said I'm not honest because I'm the one who cancelled the order.Yes of course, for an order that's due to be delivered in 1 month, I waited 8 months.Knowing that no one notified me of this situation during that 8 months.And in their GTC there's only customer responsibility, never on their side.For an order that's due to be delivered in 1 month, I waited 8 months.Knowing that no one notified me of this situation during that 8 months.I think that if they don't deliver the product for 10 years and the customer cancels his order, it's still the customer's responsibility.Their sentence made me laugh "If you had been patient a few more times, we could have provided you with news of your pre-order, which has finally been postponed to the end of this year. "They already know that the product will be delivered at the end of this year but they didn't tell anyone.What a bad attitude on their part! Really a site to be avoided.

I've just given the figurine as a gift, and it's got a broken foot, which isn't very good, as you can imagine.

My pre-order was forgotten without apology, but quickly made up for anyway.

16 months of waiting (which I can understand) to receive a figurine on an 11 cm black base!!! which didn't appear on either the site photo or the description. However, Chibi Akihabara offered me to send it back and get my money back... but after 16 months of waiting...

Satisfactory plastic product, but remember to order well in advance (about 4 months) if it's a gift for a special event.

I received a beautiful yuji itadori figurine with very good value for money, moreover the figurine arrived on time, but unfortunately the box was very damaged during transport because the package was poorly protected.

Ende Februar bekam ich eine Figurenlieferung bestehend aus 6 unterschiedlichen Prize Figuren. Beim Auspacken stellte ich bei 2 Figuren einen Defekt fest. Eine abgebrochene Hand und ein abgebrochenes Accessoire.Also eröffnete ich am 22.02. ein Ticket, schilderte dies und machte vom Schaden jeweils ein Bild. Binnen von wenigen Minuten hatte ich eine Nachricht, ich möchte doch vom Schaden + Karton (von jeder Seite) ein Bild nachreichen. Sofort gemacht und abgesendet.Dann keine Antwort mehr. Am 24. Dann einmal nachgefragt, wie der Status ist.Keine Antwort bis zum 26.Die Antwort bestand dann quasi aus der Nachricht "jemand kümmert sich drum".Am Mittag vom 28. immer noch keine Antwort. Also mal etwas direkter und nachdrücklicher nachgefragt. Antwort bekommen mit "man kümmert sich darum "Am 29. Antwort bekommen, dass man die erste Retoure organisiert hätte (zur Figur mit der abgebrochenen Hand). Man hat auch extra überprüft, ob alles intakt wäre. Ich habe mich bedankt und nachgefragt, was denn mit der anderen Figur ist und ob es da Statusupdates gibt. Keine Antwort bis zum 4.3. Also schon 2 Wochen...Man schrieb, dass man nun auch generell die andere Figur organisiert hat (schickte auch Bilder mit, dass alles heile ist). Aber wo denn da bei meiner was kaputt wäre. Anstelle da im Ticket nochmal meine 11 Bilder und den Eingangstext zu lesen.Ich schickte das Bild vom Defekt also nochmal. Noch am selben Tag schrieb man mir dann, dass man mir nur das intakte Accessoire nun nachsende... Ich fragte gar nicht mehr "warum nicht die ganze Figur"(kann man ohne doch eh nicht verkaufen aber nun ja...). Stattdessen fragte ich "Sie meinen die eine Figur + das Accessoire der anderen?". Und darauf antwortete man mir heute "nein nur das Accessoire". Ich habe da bis jetzt immer sehr gerne bestellt, aber ich habe selten einen so derartig inkompetent, unzuverlässigen und schwer zu erreichenden Support erlebt.Nicht nur steht das alles unter dem selben Ticket, sodass jeder der daran arbeitet alles dazu lesen kann, sondern ich sehr das schon kommen das das einzelne Accessoire hier wieder kaputt ankommt, weil man es einzeln verschickt. Ich habe das noch nicht erlebt, dass eine simple Retoure/Ersatzlieferung so anstrengend in der Korrespondenz und Abwicklung ist. Nach 2 Wochen habe ich nichts. Ich fühle mich nur noch verarscht und als langjähriger Kunde nicht wertgeschätzt. Die noch offene Pre Order wird da meine letzte Bestellung sein.

Not very satisfied. My order included a pre-ordered figurine (received months after its release in stores) which was very different from the photo on the website, and of poorer quality (unrecognizable face among other things). So disappointed, I won't be buying any more figurines on the internet: you pay for a product based on the photo provided and you get a much worse one.

It's not your fault, but waiting 3 months for a figurine to be delivered is too much: it was expected at the end of November and received on February 15.

Poor quality item and nothing to do with the description

I received damaged boxes and paint defects on all my figurines... but apart from these inconveniences, the boxes were not overly protected apart from air "cushions" to fill the void.

I was very satisfied at first with my first 2 orders. But lately not at all: I know they are waiting for delivery of pre-orders but I find the time very long each time there is 2 or 3 months difference with the announced date while the physical stores have received the items.....The other time, 2 months after the announced date, I receive an e-mail saying that they won't be delivering the ordered items after all (I've been reimbursed, so it's not a problem, they're legit about it) and now I'm waiting for items that were scheduled for the end of November and still haven't been delivered.... Maybe your supplier needs to be more serious.

The 3 stars correspond to the lack of protection in the parcels. I ordered 22 figurines, which arrived with a few air bubbles here and there, but no real protection. The box had 4 holes made during transport and some boxes suffered from the lack of bubble wrap for example. Apart from that, everything was perfect and I recommend it.
