Hello,We are sorry, as customer service has explained, we have opened an investigation with the carrier and we are still waiting for a response from him. We understand your disappointment, and it is regrettable that the carrier's error should penalize us when the investigation is still not complete...Sincerely.

Delays not respected in relation to the site. Support that responds when it suits them - Infamous support, I think that even FNAC does better.EditIf you do not assume the deadlines do not get ahead with false advertising.Paypal has contacted me to give me right.

I've ordered from this site before, and had no problems until recently, when I discovered that the figurines were reconditioned (I don't know if this is the case for all of them or not, but I was told that they were, even though I'd received new, unopened figurines). As a result, on my last order I received a figurine that was very badly packaged, with a missing part, while another of the same character, the box had not been opened and was in its original packaging. The same goes for a Bandai model where the box wasn't closed. I don't know if this is normal or not, but for this kind of product where all the parts are essential, it's worrying not to even have sotch on it. What's more, the after-sales service needs to be improved... On the phone, I had the impression that my interlocutor was talking down to me, when all I was asking for was a normal, new figurine, like the others I've received with no problems. I didn't really get an answer to my questions and I'm still waiting for my problem to be solved.

I pre-ordered an article in October 2021, for August 2022. My article didn't arrive until October 27, 2022. More than 2 months late! And I don't really care if it's "normal". It's not normal! When you set a deadline, you stick to it. Of course, a moderate delay is understandable. But this isn't reasonable! It's just unbelievably unprofessional. You might as well not give a deadline if you're not going to meet it anyway! What's more, this isn't the first time I've seen this kind of problem, which CLEARLY indicates a redundancy that's anything but acceptable. In conclusion, I won't be spending my money with your company again. I'll go to more competent people, to whom I'll be happy to give my money!

HelloWe are sorry for this inconvenience. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for the delivery people who are dependent on their company. We use their service, but we have no control over their actions. On the other hand, their behavior penalizes us, since we only receive a red star.

I pre-ordered two figurines from them, and when I got to the pre-order end date for the second figurine, I was worried that I wouldn't receive a delivery notice, so I checked the site, which had shifted the pre-order end date by 1 month without notifying the customer. When I contacted customer service, they explained that there was a delay in delivery on one of the two figurines, and that if I wanted to receive the first figurine, which was available, in advance, I'd have to pay additional delivery charges. In the end, I received both figurines three months late...

I ordered a figurine for my nephew's birthday and asked for it to be delivered to the store. Unluckily, it was closed for vacations, but the shipping company reported that it had been delivered. I found out from the website that they had contacted the company, so I had to pay the shipping costs a second time. I finally received my order, although it took a little over a month to get it, so I'll be able to give the figurine as a present for his birthday, even if he passed away a few weeks ago. Although the site offers a nice selection of products, this is the first and last time I'll be buying there.

Hello, As indicated by e-mail, your parcel was returned to us because no one came to collect it at the collection point. It remained there from July 21 to 30. The carrier contacted you on July 22nd and 24th to inform you of the availability of the parcel at the pick-up point, and you also received an e-mail from us informing you that your order had been dispatched on July 19th. You contacted us on August 23rd to inform us of the non-receipt of your parcel, i.e. one month later. Knowing that the error did not come from our company, nor from the carrier, it seems normal to me to ask you to contribute to the cost of returning the parcel at the rate of 5.90 euros.Sincerely.

Always get G and H...seems rigged
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello No, our lotteries and sweepstakes are not rigged. When you play a lottery, you know what you're getting into. There are a lot of small lots for not a lot of figurines. And yes some win figurines, I invite you to see all our stories on instagram. It's a random draw. It's almost the same principle as if you buy a scratch game. And again, there you necessarily get a lot. Saying it's rigged because you won small prizes is bad faith. Just like your note.Cordially

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

Hello We are very sorry about this bad experience. We have no control over Banpresto's packaging inside the box (if that's what you mean, as we can't be more specific). We cannot open the boxes to check, otherwise the figurine would lose its authenticity. Please do not hesitate to contact customer service if you have not already done so. Sincerely
