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.
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

I was supposed to receive my order on the 18th, but I got it on the 21st. The carrier went past my house without even stopping to drop it off at a relay point, and the box was damaged.

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

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.

I placed a pre-order and the figurine arrived after 5 months, more than one of which was late. The figurine itself is perfect. However, the support to hold it is very crooked. As a result, it tilts a lot and sometimes falls for no reason.
Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloWe are sorry that you are not satisfied with your order. Please note that we are dependent on our suppliers and that product delays are not our fault. An article was posted on our forum explaining the delivery delays. 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.

HelloThe products you ordered were pre-orders with different release dates. As perfectly indicated on our website:" What you need to know before pre-orderingIf your basket contains both in-stock and pre-ordered items, your order will only be dispatched when your pre-ordered items are available. For this reason, we invite you to make your purchases in 2 separate baskets, which will allow you to receive your in-stock items first without waiting for the pre-order release date. "Products are dispatched when they are ALL in stock and have arrived at our premises. Should the wait become too long, we have a procedure for shipping products in stock. I understand your dissatisfaction, but we are only a reseller, not a manufacturer of figurines. That's why there are delays of varying lengths, and why, unfortunately, some products may be delayed due to the health crisis. Our teams do their utmost to dispatch orders when all products are available. Should you require a faster delivery time, it is preferable to order figurines already in stock. Sincerely

Translated reviews
Response from CHIBI AKIHABARA
HelloWe are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your product. You have ordered a Midoriya Izuku The Amazing Heroes Vol.13 figure. The only parts that usually need to be assembled with Banpresto figures are the head and the rod to hold it in place. Most of this manufacturer's figures are like this. They require a minimum of assembly, which doesn't require much handling. You also have the option of returning the product to us (at your expense) in its original cardboard box for a refund if you are dissatisfied. To give us two stars for a product that requires little assembly proves your extreme disappointment. We hope, however, that the service provided for your order has met your expectations. Best regards

Hello,We apologize for the long delay of your order. When we put a counter on the product sheet, we already add days to the supplier's date. With the health crisis that has taken place and that we are still suffering from, suppliers and even manufacturing plants have fallen behind, especially at the moment with the shortage of certain materials. Despite our many daily reminders, suppliers are unable to give us new dates, or else they provide us with vague estimates. You should also know that we are not responsible for supplier delays. We sell the products. We do not manufacture them. Despite our best efforts to keep our product sheets as up to date as possible, there are times when we are unable to give a precise date. What is certain is that the figurines have been ordered from our supplier and that, on receipt of the goods, the orders will be dispatched. Once again, we apologize for this delay on the part of our suppliers. We remain available on our social networks, on our website by opening a ticket in the contact us section if you have any questions. Sincerely
