I have only recently signed up with Gunpla-San for their wide range of Kotobukiya and Bandai figures. They have a very large range of these models and their delivery terms and service are great. I have used them several times already and have had consistently excellent service, will be using them again soon.

Still no response for what I requested
In response to my previous review
I appreciate the company taking the time to respond publicly, but their reply leaves out several important details from our email exchanges, so I want to clarify a few points for accuracy.
1. Delivery issue:
While they state the parcel was “dispatched correctly,” the issue wasn’t merely a courier “routing” error — the proof photo clearly showed a completely different address. I had to track the parcel down myself late at night, with no help or follow-up from the company. When I raised this with them, I was told to “contact the courier directly,” as they considered the delivery fulfilled simply because I eventually found and retrieved the parcel on my own. That’s not acceptable customer care. I shouldn’t have had to chase both the courier and the missing kit myself.
2. Missing instruction manual:
They say the product “arrived from the manufacturer without one.” That may be true, but it doesn’t change the fact that I received an incomplete item. My first email clearly stated I was willing to wait for a replacement but expected some form of compensation, which wasn’t initially offered until I raised it myself.
In their response, they mention that they “immediately offered a free digital copy.” But that phrasing is misleading — what else could it have been? A paid replacement for something that should have been included in the box? Providing a digital copy of missing instructions isn’t a gesture of goodwill; it’s the bare minimum remedy when a customer receives an incomplete product.
3. Physical copy request:
Their response suggests they “contacted the manufacturer” to request a manual. In reality, they only reached out to the manufacturer after I specifically asked if a physical replacement manual could be provided. They later confirmed, after I chased again on 26 October, that they hadn’t received any reply from the manufacturer. I understand that they might not have been able to obtain one, but the fact remains that they didn’t even consider contacting the manufacturer until I prompted them to. Also, at no point was I offered a printed copy or any alternative beyond a digital file.
4. Compensation:
Their reply makes it sound like the goodwill refund was offered promptly and fairly. In reality, I had to negotiate from an initial 10% offer on the item only (not the full order) to 12% after explaining the delivery issue, missing booklet, and overall inconvenience. The total refund amounted to £6, which was roughly 12% of the total cost, or about £1.39 more than the initial offer. It wasn’t about the money itself, but about how little initiative was shown until I pressed the matter.
5. Digital manual:
They state they “photographed every page and confirmed each step was legible.” The file I received was a series of photos taken under different lighting conditions. It is readable, but inconsistent, and not the same as a properly scanned or printed manual. I requested a cleaner scanned version, but I’ve had no reply since. It would’ve been a simple gesture of goodwill to print and post the file, especially since I’ll likely never receive the actual manual.
Overall, I stand by my original review: every step of the process required me to chase them. At no point did they take proactive ownership of the problem. The company’s public response smooths over the delays, the lack of communication, and the fact that I’m still waiting for a proper manual for a kit I bought over two weeks ago.
Given that I haven’t heard back since sharing my negative review, I can only assume I won’t be receiving the scanned version I asked for — which is disappointing, but not surprising at this point. The only thing they seem proactive about is shifting blame onto anything and anyone other than themselves.

Quick and efficient
My order was dispatched quickly and the packaging was top notch.
Certainly can't complain at all about the service.
