The store received my pre-order after all the other stores I had already done business with, so my gift arrived too late, disappointment.

Very disappointed because of the total lack of communication. The most important thing is to warn us if a problem arises with the suppliers, which is the least we can do.

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.

I've placed several orders with them in the past, all of which went well, but my last one was a bit more complicated, as a product had been awaiting delivery from the supplier for months, with no indication of how long it would take.After almost a year's delay on my order, and several messages to the store trying to get more information or to unblock my order, I had to insist a lot (I had to wait several weeks for my request to go through) before they finally gave me some information. The lady at the after-sales service (very kind and competent) told me on the phone that she thought the supplier was taking them for a ride and would never deliver the product in question, but if that's the case, I find it incomprehensible that they don't contact the customers concerned to keep them informed, or at the very least post this information on the site's forum. This way, the people concerned can cancel their product if they wish. But here it's up to each customer to insist on being told that their order will never arrive if the product is not cancelled, so I had to cancel the product for my order to be released. Overall, if there are no unforeseen product availability problems, the store manages very well. This experience won't stop me from recommending them, but you should be aware that sometimes you have to be persistent to get information about your orders.

Pre-ordered figurine, received several months later. In a strange way, it was wrapped in bubble wrap (the figurine in the box) it was very badly made with a defect on the head, I was offered a coupon for 10% off but I found it light all the same. I still don't know if it's an official figurine or not, at least it doesn't look like the photos, what a shame. It's the Raphaël figurine from the anime Moi quand je me réincarise en slime. We'll have to see what condition the figurine is in for a future purchase. But the "bubble wrap" packaging already tipped me off. For this reason, I can't recommend this site highly enough.

Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloIt says on our website that we sell 100% official figurines. If you take a closer look at our site, you'll also see the words: Banpresot/Bandai partner. Unless Banpresto is making counterfeits, which is impossible, your figurine is official. It's not uncommon for figurines costing around 30 euros to have manufacturing defects. They're mass-produced in factories. As I reread your conversation history, it seems to me that my colleague suggested several solutions. It was you who decided to keep the figurine and take the 10% discount code. You were perfectly free to return the figurine after I had given you a label (specified in the message) and ask for a refund, but you decided to keep it anyway. Sincerely

First time I've been disappointed with the store. Parcel received with no problem but the box of my figurine pushed in so it's that it was done at the time of the setting out of paperboard. Fortunately my figurine is fine, but I'm still disappointed and hope it's the last time this happens to me.

The products I ordered arrived fairly quickly and well packaged, however I'm only giving 4 stars because I had a problem with my original order, the figurine I had ordered was withdrawn from the site (probably due to the lack of information given by the supplier regarding the release date) and I wasn't informed. I think an email update on this type of incident would be good, it reinforces the trust between customer and seller (we have less the impression that the seller does things behind our back). I was entitled to a credit note, and customer service replied within two days, so that's a good point too.

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

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).

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

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
