Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello,We're sorry you didn't receive your second cup Ramen. You informed us of this oversight on Saturday, July 23rd. As our Customer Service department was closed on Saturdays, your message was processed on Monday, July 25, and an e-mail was sent to you on the same day asking how you wished to be reimbursed. Today is July 28 and we are still waiting for a reply from you. In the absence of a reply from you, this 3.00 euro item has been reimbursed in the form of a credit code available in your customer area. For your information, the processing of your order took longer than usual because our entire team was mobilized for Europe's biggest Japanimation show, Japan Expo. Sincerely

I went to your stand at the japon expo on Sunday, there was a very unpleasant lady, not smiling and not even bothering to reply to customers, her replies were very expeditious. Very bad experienceFor the website it's Ok
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloWe apologize for the inconvenience. Our aim is not to be unpleasant, far from it. You're the first person to bring this problem to our attention in the years we've been exhibiting. At Japan Expo, you have to understand that our sales staff try to move as quickly as possible so as not to keep our customers waiting. Of course, this doesn't excuse anything, but they go as fast as they can, which can give the impression of being rushed and unpleasant. What's more, we're all human. Our teams had been on site since Sunday July 10, setting up everything, not to mention the long days of Japan Expo itself, the heat and the fatigue. Of course, even that's no excuse for being unpleasant, but you can understand how nerves can run high. We're sorry you had a bad experience that cost us one hell of a red star. Sincerely

Really disappointed. Today I went to Japan expo where they had a stand. I bought a figurine for 50e, when another stand sold all its stock because the figurine was for 15e I asked why Chibi akihabara was selling it for 50e. I was told it was a question of supply. Looking on the internet, the price of this figurine doesn't exceed 30e, and even Chibi akihabara was selling it for 29.90e. I think it's a real steal
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloWe are very sorry about this experience. You should know that at Japan Expo, products are sold at a higher price because you also have to take many things into account: location, rentals, etc. Don't be fooled into thinking that JE invites exhibitors for free and doesn't charge any participation fees. You had every right to refuse to pay for the 50 figurine, since we don't oblige our exhibitors to buy them, and we leave the choice up to our visitors. Sincerely

I waited too long for my figurine (I ordered it in November and received it in June), and the orders were wrong (I didn't receive the right figurine).
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello SirIn your message, we suggested several solutions to remedy the long wait. You decided to change product. You chose a product that was more expensive than the one you ordered. My colleague sent you the procedure for paying the difference, specifying that you would need to return the product after paying the difference. However, we never received any confirmation from you, so the order was not changed and you received the product originally ordered. Regarding delivery times, suppliers have been extremely late, and we've made this clear on our forum, even giving the new release dates for products where we had information. We have also put procedures in place to avoid long waits. A fact on which we are unfortunately dependent. We can't ship empty parcels just to meet the dates. However, we apologize on behalf of our suppliers for the delay. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely

Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello,We are very sorry that your experience has been so negative. The pandemic situation has meant that many products have been postponed to a later date. Despite our reminders, we do not always obtain new dates. This is beyond our control. We try to communicate as much as possible about the information we have. There are 2 topics open on our forum (accessible to everyone) explaining the situation, giving new dates when we manage to get them. We change counters whenever possible. We're trying to work on a better communication tool. This takes time. However, we are always available to answer questions, whether via the networks or by contacting us, and we are never bothered to answer. The way a text is written can sometimes be misleading, with people thinking one thing when it's not the case. Our priority is to satisfy our customers. We apologize on behalf of our suppliers for this long delay and we also apologize for this sudden bad experience. Sincerely

Very disappointed compared to the ratings on this site. You don't need to have a problem with the order because the after-sales service sucks. It's after having been on other site and forum concerning chibi akihabara to make me another opinion that I saw that it had full of problem already and that in addition to that it suppresses all bad opinion (perhaps that this one will be also).In any case never more I will order at them.Réponse à Chibi Akihabara:Bonjour,Oui je vois que sur ce site il n'y a pas filtrage autant pour moi je retirer ce que j'ai dit et tant mieux si c'est le cas.Yes you talk about reviews on this site but without talking about reviews on the internet, I asked around me people who are used to buying figurines online, your site is not very in praise too.A procedure that is not explained anywhere and I find that you explain poorly at first you offer me a 10 percent credit or an exchange. Then you tell me to break the figurine when it's already broken without any explanation. What you also forgot to mention is that if I send it back, I have to pay the shipping costs myself, even though I'm the one who received it broken. Yes, I didn't reply, I was advised to insist, but I don't think there's any point, so I've decided to close the case, and I don't feel like paying for the return parcel as well. It'll cost me less, but I'll try to get someone to repair it for me and cover up the breakage a bit. I still received a figurine where I have nothing to say but if you've looked on Truspilot you must have seen it I've noted it well because it corresponds to what I ordered." Truspilot with 1?227 and a verified company flag. It's true that 89% positive reviews from many different customers doesn't carry much weight" as you say in this sentence so you don't have to worry about any negative reviews will not harm your sales and your regular customers.I also wish you a good dayCordially.

Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello There is no filtering possible on Truspilot. All reviews posted by customers are visible and you can see (with a minimum of research on the platform) that negative reviews of Chibi are also present. It's easy to come and criticize our customer service without giving away your concerns. After checking your order reference, we've noticed that YOU refuse the procedure for changing figurines. This procedure is required by our supplier in order to replace the product. We've also offered you the alternative of returning the product to us, but to date we've had no response from you. It's up to you if you prefer to believe sites or forums where there are only negative reviews of our company, rather than a site like Truspilot with 1,227 and a verified company flag. It's true that 89% positive reviews from many different customers don't carry much weight. Wishing you a very good day.

No matter how hard we try to contact our suppliers, we cannot send packages with nothing in them simply to respect the dates, which are only indicative. You have the option of returning it to us (at your expense and in its original boxes) and requesting a refund, bearing in mind that we are resellers and not manufacturers. We have no control over the products leaving the factory. Defects on the figurine are not our fault and are sadly common on Banpresto/Bandai Spirits products.

Order placed 3 months before the release, order not received 1 month after the release.open a "ticket" is useless, you can write whatever you want you will get the same automatic response (true I put a "." I received the same response as when I wrote a paving stone).Sending an e-mail isn't much use either, so you won't get any reply. Calling is the only option, and even then, only if you manage to get them. I naively ordered thinking that pre-ordering 3 months before the release would guarantee that I'd get my figurines straight away. But they're having "supplier problems", which is questionable because they're the only ones to have them: all my other orders from other sites are prepared for the release or even before, and arrive on time.In short, go the other way.
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello. Yes, we have an automatic message for requests that are always the same: release date, awaiting supplier delivery. The reason we send this message is that, as indicated in the message, despite our numerous reminders, the supplier has not given us any new dates. We can't make one up. Following your message, my colleague gave you the telephone number to contact her. What's more, we're dependent on our suppliers. We can't manufacture it ourselves, nor can we go directly to Japan to get it. You point out that we are the only ones in this situation, but after checking, we have read messages warning of delays on sites identical to ours. You understand that we cannot ship an order for which the products have not yet been released, or else, as in this famous sample message, you have several proposals at your disposal to find a solution. I invite you to contact my colleague who will explain the situation to you in person. Sincerely

This was my first order and will be my last. I ordered 2 figurines, one of which arrived broken, I opened a ticket on the order to ask for an exchange, I was told that I had to send lots of photos of the figurine and its box, which I did three times... since then, it's been radio silence and as no email can be found on their site, no possibility of communicating with them apart from this famous ticket. As the figurine doesn't seem repairable, it's as if I've thrown my money out of the window... So I wouldn't recommend this site unless you want to throw your money out of the window.
