The online store Chibi Akihabara is praised for its efficient and prompt shipping, with many customers highlighting that their orders arrived quickly and in good condition. The careful packaging of items is consistently mentioned, ensuring that products are well-protected during transit. Customers express satisfaction with the quality of the figurines received, often describing them as beautiful and a perfect addition to their collections. Additionally, the customer service is noted for being responsive and helpful, effectively addressing any questions or issues that arise.
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.

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!

Hello,
We are sorry to read your review, but after a complete verification of your file, several points need to be clarified.
Our customer service first responded to you on 16/12, via your customer service ticket, asking for photos of the concerned products in order to analyze the situation and, if necessary, intervene with our supplier.
Following the creation of your review, we contacted you again by email on 22/12.
To date, we have not received any feedback or photos from you.
Without these elements, it is unfortunately impossible for us to confirm an anomaly or to initiate a return or supplier claim procedure.
We remind you that:
* We only sell strictly new products, from official suppliers.
* We never open the boxes before shipping: the items are sent in the exact condition in which we receive them.
Having received no proof or response from you despite several follow-ups, no resolution is unfortunately possible at this stage.
We regret that the situation could not be clarified in time, but we cannot be held responsible in the absence of feedback from you.
Best regards

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.

Hello,
We have taken note of your review, but we have not received any report from you through our official channels before this publication, which makes the situation difficult to address. We would like to remind you that we only sell new products, supplied by official distributors.
If the product you received actually had a problem, we invite you to send us photos attesting to the condition of the figurine so that we can inquire with the supplier and resolve the issue. Without this information, we unfortunately will not be able to act on your report.
Have a good day,
Best regards.

6 months delay on the expected delivery.....
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
We completely understand your frustration regarding the delay of your order, and we are sincerely sorry.
However, this delay was related to our supplier, who also experienced significant delays in delivering the product. On our side, we shipped your order as soon as it arrived at our premises.
And finally, the figurine was indeed delivered, right? It's not perfect, we know, but we always do our best to fulfill every order, even when delays extend independently of our will.
Thank you for your patience, and we still hope that you like the product once it's in your hands!

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 ^^'

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! When this kind of problem occurs, it's essential to contact us before any intervention, as an exchange may be possible, but only if the figurine remains in the condition in which you found it. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible now that you've glued it back together...
Don't hesitate to come back to us if you have any questions or problems in the future, we'll be more than happy to help!

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.

Hello,
First of all, we solved the problem directly with the customer after receiving his comment.
However, prior to this, we had not received any requests via our official after-sales channels (ticket, email or telephone). As we regularly explain, customer service requests must be submitted via these channels to ensure optimal follow-up. Unfortunately, notices are not the right way to contact us for this type of situation. We have therefore taken the necessary measures and replaced the faulty sword.
We remind you that for any question or problem, it is essential to use the following means:

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.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! We fully understand your frustration with delays, and we share your disappointment when release dates are not met. Unfortunately, we are entirely dependent on the lead times of our suppliers and manufacturers, who may themselves encounter unforeseen circumstances (production delays, transport, etc.).
We always do our utmost to keep our customers informed as soon as we have more details, but these delays are unfortunately recurrent in the world of figurines and pre-orders.
We hope that, despite the wait, you are satisfied with the product you have received!

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.

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.

Hello,We'd like to clarify a few points about your experience.First of all, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.It's crucial to clarify that it was you who chose to cancel your order, in full knowledge of the terms of our General Terms and Conditions (GTC), which constitutes a retraction on your part. In accordance with these terms, in the event of withdrawal by the customer, any additional costs associated with the choice of a payment method other than the standard one, such as the Paypal commission, will not be reimbursed. Furthermore, despite the aggressive tone of your messages, our team has always been transparent and courteous. Regarding delivery times, it's important to mention that the pre-order you placed came from the manufacturer Taka Corp Studio. Their company encountered difficulties until the beginning of this year, delaying the release and delivery of your order. These circumstances were beyond our control, and while we understand your frustration, we regret that your review was not entirely honest, as it was you who cancelled your order. If you had been patient a little longer, we would have been able to provide you with news of your pre-order, which was ultimately postponed until the end of this year.Despite this disappointing experience, our team acted with professionalism and respect throughout the process.Sincerely.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hello,We're sorry to hear that your figurine arrived broken.It can happen that during transport, even with the protections, the figurines inside the boxes move a little and the fragile parts can therefore break.When this happens, our customer service is there to help you, and please do not hesitate to contact us :)Wishing you a good day, Sincerely.

The price is too high for the quality.
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
Hello,Thank you for your feedback. Although we try to maintain very competitive prices throughout our store, in your case, the price indicated for these figurines is the manufacturer's recommended price. What's more, you have benefited from a pack, which is less expensive than if you had bought these two figurines separately. Have a nice day :)

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).

Hello,We're very sorry that you had a bad experience with this order.According to the history we have concerning this situation:First of all, our customer service explained to you why your order was sent the first time by DPD, this one had passed a certain price, and this carrier is more adapted in these cases. The relay point then refused the parcel because it was too bulky, so it was returned to us. When this happens, an after-sales service request is made to our suppliers, but it can take a long time for the figurines to be exchanged, and our customer service department has warned you on this point.Concerning the shipment of the new figurine, we would like to remind you that we are in no way responsible for the actions of the carriers. Unfortunately, we have no control over the moment the package is entrusted to them, so it's not our fault if the courier doesn't show up. In addition, as our customer service department has informed you, you are not a resident of France, and therefore, when your parcel is entrusted to Colissimo, it must be passed on to another carrier in your country, which in your case is often DPD.We had taken your choice into account, only Colissimo works this way, and once again it's not our fault. From the numerous exchanges you had with our customer service, whether by telephone or e-mail, you already had all this information in your possession. Please believe that we are very sorry about this situation, and that we would have preferred it to have happened as usual: without any problem.Hoping to have clarified the problem concerning your order,Sincerely.

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.

Hello,We're sorry that the DPD delivery driver didn't give you your parcel on time. Unfortunately, from the moment the parcel is given to the carrier, we no longer have control over their actions.For future occasions, we invite you to choose another carrier such as Colissimo, but also to report to DPD what happened with your parcel so that it doesn't happen again.Good day to you.
