Customer reviews of CHIBI AKIHABARA

I ordered for the sales and some of the packaging was damaged or even open. Otherwise the discounts were interesting and the shipping fast.

parcel arrived a day late and badly protected so one of the boxes was badly damaged and 4 others were partially damaged

Order conforms to what I ordered but I got a figurine as a gift where the support is broken. Otherwise well packaged and protected.

I wanted to order for a friend and send it directly to her, but it was impossible to send it in her name. I ordered without being logged in, using someone else's email address to send in her name. You could change the delivery address but not the name. What's more, I don't understand why it was pre-ordered, but we saw it earlier, so much the better, but it doesn't look professional. Fortunately, the figurine arrived in good condition.

After 5 months of waiting without any news (I'm not counting the 3 months of pre-ordering, but after those 3 months, I tried to contact them without success to get any news), the parcel was finally dispatched during my vacations. Having opted for parcel delivery, I had a deadline for collecting it, but I didn't get back in time. After finally managing to contact Chibi Akihabara by e-mail (no answer on the phone and impossible to leave a message), they told me that I could have asked to postpone delivery on receipt of the e-mail announcing shipment, as they could then delay departure from their warehouse. Except that this was not specified in the first e-mail (no link to carry out the action), and that I received the e-mail notifying me of the departure from the warehouse within a minute of the first e-mail (so in practice, it was impossible to request a delay in delivery). They also assured me that they had replied to my first e-mail requesting news, but I had no trace of this (and at the time, I had been watching my spam for quite some time). Maybe I missed it, but Chibi Akihabara didn't provide me with any proof of this reply (it's a bit easy to just say "we had replied"). The next step was independent of Chibi Akihabara, but neither DPD nor the parcel relay (unreachable) could do anything to keep my parcel any longer. The parcel finally went back to Chibi Akihabara, who didn't let me know when it arrived again. I had to send them several emails to get news, even though they had said they would let me know, so I waited another month and a half. After paying shipping costs (understandable, but not very commercial in view of my experience), I finally received my parcel (hurrah!).Incidentally, the figurine is of good quality and conforms to the description. But the quality of service and communication at Chibi Akihabara needs to be reviewed. In my opinion, the main point for improvement is to offer a real possibility to postpone or schedule delivery, especially when we're talking about this kind of package where you don't know the availability date in advance. For example, when you have finally received the pre-ordered product, a delivery date could be predefined on your side, but a warning e-mail could be sent to the customer to give them the opportunity to plan delivery (and without a response within a certain time, the predefined date would be used for delivery). You could also provide a link in your first shipping notification e-mail, so that you can actually postpone delivery if the customer so wishes.

Extremely long time to receive my order compared to other stores for the same purchases.badly managed after-sales service complicated to get someone and when you get there they do not do what they tell you on the phone! In short, I won't be going to them again and I don't recommend it.

The tracking and delivery nothing to complain about, however I received a figurine with a broken hand while the box was in good condition, a spot of glue is settled but it is an inconvenience to avoid.

The price is too high for the quality.

Lack of information on pre-order tracking. Quality shipment, well protected

Usually satisfied but this time not at allOrder placed in March. I asked for Colissimo to be sent to a relay point but it was sent by DPD to my home and to the address of the relay point, so they refused the parcel and I had to wait a month to finally get my parcel and then the figurine broke and I had to wait another 3 months to send it back. Now customer service insists on sending the figurine back to me via DPD but I have nothing but problems with them. I want it sent back via Colissimo point relais as I requested when placing the order. Thank you for respecting customer choice. Maybe Colissimo parcels are handled by DPD in Belgium but they are deposited in a "Colissimo" point relay if you send by DPD my point relay does not take parcels sent in "DPD" (by the carrier itself).

On the site itself at the top! The products received were top notch, perfect, and the packaging complied. However, the delivery person or company was pure and utter crap, I don't know if it depends on you, but I just had to say it! delay, bad follow-up, bad delivery notice, and in the end a delayed delivery that ended up in a relay point.

Figure pre-ordered 2 years ago, debited the next day. 18 months delay on the release of the figurine due to the manufacturer. No problem. The figurine has now been out for 3 months and still nothing. In one of my many messages to support, I learn today that the supplier still doesn't have the product in stock. And WORSE! My money (we're talking 360 here) has been working for Chibi-Akibahara for 2 years. How many customers are like me? I have now asked for a cancellation and a refund following this news. I'm waiting for them to get back to me.

Delivery time too long

Usually nothing to report, but this time I needed information via customer service. I had to deal with a rare condescension that shocked me. I'll empty my loyalty points next time and move on to another store.

Half-opened parcel. Fortunately, nothing was missing and everything inside was well protected.

Product conforms, but the waiting time is extremely long, even though the "Itachi Dioramatic" figurine has been available since June in certain specialized stores such as manga story in Paris. And the figurine had been pre-ordered since the end of February for delivery at the beginning of August. What's more, the figurine's box was damaged because there's large bubble wrap on one part but not all around the figurine's box in the carton, so with the carrier(s) there's bound to be a lot of damage - in short, I was disappointed with the waiting time and the packaging of the box.

I removed 2* because of the DPD delivery. I asked for home delivery and was at home waiting for the parcel. The delivery man didn't come and dropped the parcel off at the point relais. Imagine if I didn't have a car... Otherwise for the site Chibi is very good, ordered on 20/07 received on 22/07, it's great. Can't wait to place another order. It would be great if I could change the delivery service.

I have made a complaint following receipt of a figurine with defects. I was told that the figurine could not be replaced by the same model, even though the website showed that it was in stock. Still no reply. Very disappointed, I'm not starting a collection of damaged figurines...

Carton damaged during travel. The figurine's box was badly damaged, even torn, but fortunately the parts were intact.

I received my figurine slightly damaged on the front and it had a manufacturing defect on the back.I tried several times to make a support ticket on the site to make a claim but it was unfortunately impossible for an unknown reason.It's been nearly 3 weeks since I received my figurine but I still haven't been able to inform the site that I had a problem, I'm very disappointed... Apart from the above-mentioned defects the figurine is very beautiful and of good quality... I would have hoped for a gesture for my next order... Sincerely.

This is a criminal shop, who's saying that he delivered the order but never did it. I have to use PayPal refund method to refund the money. Crazy Freak never again! YOU ARE LIERS AND NOTHING ELSE! WAITING FOR DELIVERY YOUR OWN STUFF KNOWING THAT NOBODY IS PICKING UP YOUR NON DELIVERY IS NONSENSE TO WAIT FOR THE REFUND. STOP LIERS JUST STOP IT YOU NEVER DELIVERED IT NEVER! YOU HAVE TO REFUND IT RIGHT NOW! you refuse to refund and PayPal gives me my money back, you are scam and criminals. I never saw that package so it's was never delivered and you waiting for your own stuff to be returned and you ignoring all my messages. I bought the item at ebay and deleted my account at your crap website, never order again from your nonsense.

Excessive delay

I ordered a figurine on 5/03/2023 and received it on 8/03/2023. Packaging intact. This figurine was a birthday present for my daughter, who only returned from Spain a month later. The figurine was finally discovered on 9/04 but what a disappointment...one arm is broken, there's a defect in the cape and the toupet on the hat doesn't fit on the hat. Claim made on 10/04 but no reply. We'd like to know how to send her back and get a new figurine in good condition. I'm disappointed by the site's lack of responsiveness.

I waited months for my package to arrive. It was for Christmas and arrived in March without any information. I thought I'd never receive it when it arrived.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase but a little less by the very long delay in receiving it; item bought at the beginning of December and received in March. I know that Chibi Akihabara is not responsible for this, but I had to call to get an update. I would have appreciated being kept informed.

Nice gift with two drawbacks: the expression of the eyes is less tender than on the photos and the protective plastic on which it rests was broken. A shame for a gift. Otherwise a nice collector's item.

Did not warn when a product was unavailable. Waited 3 months for product. Otherwise, good figurines. Also prices can be more expensive than other sites.

Received quickly, but it's not the one I ordered! It's the same person, so it fits, it's very pretty, but I'm disappointed to give a gift that's not the one I chose...

Broken figurine

I bought four Demon Slayer miniatures (Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke) from Furyu at the Made in Asia at the end of the convention on Sunday 05/03, each for 25. Happy to return home with my four boxes, I was shocked to see that my Nezuko and Tanjiro figures were broken and wrapped in bubble wrap. Tanjiro's arm notch was broken in the shoulder, and I had to repair it with strong glue. Nezuko's flames had been glued back into her hand (traces of glue) and not in the right direction, so the figure's structure wasn't stable. So I was really disappointed to end my day with a disappointing purchase. Fortunately, the Zenitsu and Inosuke figurines were in very good condition. But hey, 50 of disappointment, it's very expensive for little 7cm high figurines.P.S. : I glued the figurines back together myself because I bought them on the spot (so not on your site, so no reference number), couldn't post photos to confirm my statements, and having seen the other comment from Baptiste Deroeux's Made in Asia purchase about your marketing professionalism (supposedly, one of your salesmen said you had the lowest prices, when clearly you didn't, you just had the figures I wanted), I had absolutely no expectation of receiving a refund or exchange from you, and you confirm this with your review below.

Much too expensive for little plastic things made in a Chinese factory, the cardboard box is more expensive than the product.

the DPD driver didn't give me the parcel personally against signature and security code as planned but apart from that rout went well so nothing else to report.

1 Item was unavailable: but as payment was made = choice between another item or a voucher (valid only for 1 year, which was not specified when the choice was made): I don't like this practice because I don't necessarily want or need to buy again. No refund possible even though the item was marked available at the time of ordering!

A rather interesting catalog, just a little (very) annoyed that my order took over 2 months to arrive, basically it was a gift for Christmas....

Parcel received intact but product broken for the second time

Broken voldemort wand

I still don't have my parcel

Figurine delivered damaged4 days to get a response from supportA very bad experience

I'm taking away 2 stars for the fact that I ordered several things, including 2 predefined baskets that I'm very fond of, even if there's a note saying if not in stock replaced but replaced on 17products 14products for a single basket I find this limited, why put a list. Then in the replacement it is not even logical, replaced the salted elements by sweetened I had literally 1seul element salted, moreover not even directly edible because they are broths of cubes and it is exactly the same situation for my 2 basket. Very above the baskets I think above a certain number of replacement of element of the basket we should be warned to know if we continue the purchase. I don't take into account the expected delivery time of 2 days to finally have my product 12 days later but this is excusable because it's a busy period so no worries. The packaging was correct, there was no problem with the figurines I ordered, no broken parts. I think that my situation is justifiable in relation to the fact that it was the holidays and maybe outside the holidays baskets are good, but on top anyway. I'm leaving 3 stars because I think it's rare to find a reliable French site and my problem isn't one of reliability.

Two orders paid for in advance and postponed several times, with delays in delivery.
