I'm not likely to recommend them. I'm sent a figurine in a box in poor condition even though I'd asked them to check the condition of the boxes carefully, I'm told I have to send it back for a replacement and finally when they receive it they send me a message to tell me it's now out of stock and they're going to refund me instead. They really couldn't put one aside for me as soon as they knew I was sending mine back? I'm only giving two stars because customer service is quick to respond.

Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloWe've received your product and found that the box wasn't in such bad condition as you emphasize. We couldn't put a figurine aside since you bought the last one, so it's only fair to refund you rather than drag the matter out, don't you think? We're sorry if the experience with our services didn't suit you. Sincerely

Disappointed, 60 euros for a mediocre win is the game of the draw but simply disappointed with my win.

Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Good day to you, sir. Yes, as you said so well in your comment, it's a game. When you play lotteries, you read the product sheets where it is indicated how the game is run and the prizes to be won. You're unfairly penalizing us because the draw wasn't favorable to you. How can we be held liable? This is a random draw, and you knew perfectly well when you played that you wouldn't necessarily win a big prize. We don't force our customers to play, they are free to participate knowing the conditions of the game. I completely understand your dissatisfaction, but to give us a red star when you knew and we had nothing to do with it - it's the draw - I find that very sad and a great pity. Sincerely

The parcel was received on time. Nevertheless, the packaging was damaged and the protection of the figurine was average. Fortunately, there were no defects on the box.

Omission of an item in the order 1 week and a half to just be prepared and sent And more after a claim the missing item is neither returned nor refunded just a miserable credit of 3.00

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

Fast and in good condition, at first I was a little doubtful after seeing the negative reviews but the package arrived safely and in good condition, however the delivery information is not very detailed, it's too vague.
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloThank you for your confidence. As you can see on Truspilot, the vast majority of reviews are positive... Concerning delivery information. We receive an e-mail informing you that the order is being prepared, then another informing you that the order has been dispatched. Then the carrier sends you an e-mail to let you know about the delivery. If you're talking about product delivery, we've posted a message on our forum, accessible to all without registration, explaining the problems we've encountered with supplier delays (which are not our fault). It is difficult for us to give precise dates when the supplier himself is unable to provide them. 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

HelloIf I'm not mistaken, if I look at the history of your ticket, my colleague replied on 19/07/2022. The deadline was longer because, as indicated at that time on our website and on all our networks, we were at Japan ExpoCordially

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 am never disappointed by the parcels I receive. They are very well packed and protected. The small negative point would be that for packages that are pre-ordered, the information is not clear enough once the pre-order is validated.

We have posted two messages on the forum (accessible to all without registration) explaining supplier delivery delays and products that have undergone a date change in order to keep customers as informed as possible. Concerning pre-orders, you have in your customer area, the status indicated with the changes as they occur. You'll also find frequently asked questions.

Fast, careful dispatch. However, bubble wrap around the boxes of figurines would have been necessary: one of the three boxes purchased was a little damaged (due to one of the cardboard tabs). Apart from this minor inconvenience, I recommend it!

the products arrived very quickly and in perfect condition, well protected. However, the DPD delivery service still delivered my parcel to the bookshop and not to my home, and this is not the first time, plus my box arrived in poor condition.

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

I ordered this figurine more than a year ago... despite the wait, it arrived very late and without any real explanation... I was browsing the site and I still saw the figurine in pre-order when it should no longer be... it was really tiring because there is no explanation... I had to send requests in order to get the answer to my question.Despite everything, customer service is top, they respond quickly and the exchange of the package is always very well.

Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloWe apologize for the inconvenience. If the figurine was still online with the mention pre-order, it is because it had been postponed by the manufacturer. We are working on a system to notify customers, but it will take time. We also have a forum, accessible to all without registration, which has twice indicated delays in figurines, one of them with an explanation of the delay. We are also always available on social networks: facebook, twitter and insta to answer questions, or via customer service. Sincerely

A parcel that was supposed to be a Christmas present arrived at the end of April (that can happen, no worries) but when we asked for information about the parcel we had the impression that we were bothering them, they replied to us a long time later and in the end once the parcel had been received no co gesture or at least a short note to apologize for the inconvenience and the waiting time. I'm very disappointed by my experience.

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
