Website accepts payment for out of stock items!
I ordered a couple Transformers, checking out and paying on their website. Then my order was cancelled. I emailed back to ask about the reliability of the stock levels on their website (maybe for future orders) but no answer. So it was a waste of time really.
Update: I’ll revise the review if you reply to my original email and fix your website so it only shows in stock items.
Update: they have replied and updated the listing so that's something.

Nice website design, but a very disappointing experience overall
I really liked the design and general layout of Japanzon's website. It feels clean, modern and easy to navigate. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of my experience.
I ordered a game on May 28. On May 29, I received an email from the seller asking if I was aware that the game was used. Unfortunately, the message ended up in my spam folder, so I only replied on June 8.
The game was supposedly shipped on June 11. However, nothing arrived. On July 3, I started getting suspicious and contacted them through their ticket system to ask when I could expect the delivery. The tracking number they had provided did not work and was not recognized by the local delivery service. I never received a reply to that message.
On July 8, I contacted their support directly via email. On July 9, I was refunded without any explanation. About an hour later, I received a message from Japanzon saying that their supplier was causing problems and that they had to cancel the order. This was quite confusing, as the game had supposedly already been shipped almost a month earlier.
All in all, it was a frustrating and unclear experience. I do not plan to order from them again.

We’re very sorry for the frustrating and unclear experience you had. The game you ordered experienced an unexpectedly high demand, and the price on the market skyrocketed, making it very difficult for us to restock at a reasonable cost.
We truly did our best to fulfill your order and held on as long as we could before making the hard decision to cancel and refund you. We’re also sorry it took so long to communicate this clearly — it was never our intention to cause confusion or disappointment.
Thank you for your honest feedback; it helps us improve and avoid similar situations in the future.

It means a lot to us to be recognized as a trusted store for niche passions, and we hope to see you again soon for your next build. Happy assembling! 🛠️✨
Reply from Japanzon
We’re sorry to hear you never received your order. After checking our records, your package was returned to us due to an unsuccessful delivery attempt. We did not receive any contact from you regarding this, and the tracking—still available—shows that the parcel was waiting to be claimed before being sent back.
It's important to monitor tracking updates and be prepared to retrieve the package if delivery is not successful the first time. Unfortunately, once a returned parcel goes unclaimed for too long, there’s little we can do.
We remain available via contact@japanzon.com if you’d like to review your case further.
Good Prices and Trustworthy
Well priced products, easy to order and trustworthy for international shipping. I ordered a CD soundtrack and it arrived hassle-free. Would recommend.

RUN AWAY NOW
It’s a one star review because I can’t give zero stars.
What a horrible experience. I ordered something my son really wanted for Christmas ….. way back in September or October. I was charged and there was zero communication. I emailed multiple times - which is hard to do since they seemed to hide their emails - no result. Finally, in February or so…. I was forced to go through PayPal to get my Money back.
I had a very disappointed son and a huge hassle. Shame because they advertise cool things. Too bad they only seem to exist in the pictures.
Avoid.

We’re truly sorry for the terrible experience you had — especially around the holidays and involving a gift for your son. That’s the kind of disappointment no one should go through, and we completely understand your frustration.
At the time, we were facing serious issues with order fulfillment and communication that clearly impacted your experience. That’s not an excuse, but it is something we’ve worked hard to fix: our support channels are now more transparent and responsive, and our shipping process has been overhauled.
We regret that your order didn’t arrive, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It’s reviews like yours that have helped push us to make the changes we needed.

Thank you for your feedback. We do our best to reuse cardboard packaging to help save the planet, which might sometimes make the packaging seem less conventional. However, we always use plenty of protective materials inside to safeguard your items. Unfortunately, due to the long journey from Japan, slight damage can occasionally occur during transit, and we’re truly sorry for any inconvenience this caused. We appreciate your understanding and hope to improve your experience next time.

sudden price increase?
I bought a figure, they sent the wrong one. I got a refund and during this time of waiting they increased the price of the original figure?
Update:
Hi there, wasn't trying to say that I didn't get a refund. What I was saying though was how when I ordered the original figure I spent £68, when I went to re order it about 3 weeks later, the total price was £118? That's what I'm confused about, Thank you.

Hello Riley,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience regarding your order.
You were refunded promptly after we confirmed the item sent was incorrect.
As for the price, please understand that it may vary over time depending on the product's rarity and age. This is not something we can control directly, as it often reflects market availability or changes from our suppliers.
If you’re still interested in the original figure, feel free to reach out — we’ll be happy to help.
Best regards,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Due to the holiday season, we are experiencing a high volume of orders across multiple platforms and physical stores. Unfortunately, this can sometimes lead to products being sold out faster than anticipated.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and happiness.
Ignored for multiple weeks
Bad, incompetent customer service that took weeks/months to get back to me. After reaching out to them on social media, they finally found the time to respond. They claim I misrepresented the facts when they themselves also misrepresented the facts. They say my inaction lasted over a year, but in fact, I contacted them before the year mark. It was still late, but not over a year late; they let it go for over a year. Additionally, they closed my account during that time.
There are three phone numbers on the website, one in a banner, one at the top of the site, and one at the bottom. One didn’t even work, and the other two went unanswered during their working hours.
I intended to order as a guest, but I filled in my details carelessly and ended up with a full account. They should send a confirmation email after registration; this would have made things much clearer for me.
The search function is also poor. I remember searching for potential Figma figures and found nothing, but when browsing through the categories, I did find a few.

My honest First experience
This is the first time I have purchased from this site, attracted by the presence of some "rare " items at fair prices.
I ordered 3 figures, paid with Paypal and was sent confirmation of my order.
The next day I get an email saying that a refund will be issued because all the items I selected were no longer in stock.
I think that alone is enough to make the experience negative. It is part of running an online store that only items that are actually available are "buyable“.
Now another strange thing that happened is that tonight, Igot a notification that someone was trying to access my Paypal account.
Maybe it's just a coincidence but I hadn't paid with Paypal in weeks and this incident happened 24 hours after I placed my order.
In conclusion given
This experience I don't think I will buy nor recommend this site.
I am glad if others have had more positive experiences

Dear Linda Gabba ,
Thank you for your feedback. We deeply regret that your experience with us did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the Out-of-Stock Items:
At Japanzon, we strive to maintain an accurate inventory for our online store. However, as we also operate a physical store, there are rare instances where an item may be sold in-store before our system updates the online stock availability. We understand how frustrating this can be, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.
The most important thing is that your payment has been fully refunded, and the funds should already be back in your account.
Regarding the PayPal Notification:
We take your concerns very seriously. However, we do not have access to your PayPal account or its security settings. For your safety, we recommend reaching out directly to PayPal's support team to investigate any unusual activity on your account.
Commitment to Improvement:
Your feedback helps us improve. We are implementing measures to better synchronize our in-store and online inventory to prevent such occurrences in the future.
We sincerely apologize for this experience and appreciate your understanding. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,

Sold me an opened trial deck despite advertising it as New
I ordered a fairly rare Weiss Schwarz Hololive Gen 0 Trial Deck.
The shipping took a really long time that I actually thought that I was scammed.
Imagine my surprise when I finally received the Trial Deck only to find it Opened, as in the package's seal is obviously tampered with and the plastic holding the cards in place is missing. No good standing shop I know would sell an open Trial Deck for the amount I paid.
I should have just bought it from ebay despite it being slightly more expensive.
Anyway, in summary, if you are buying trial deck from Japanzon.com, you might be getting an opened trial deck instead.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered.
After reviewing the tracking details of your package, it appears that it underwent a customs inspection, which may explain the condition in which you received it. We understand how frustrating this can be.
Regarding the delivery delay, we apologize. Due to an exceptionally high volume of orders and a temporary shortage of staff, some processing and shipping times have been longer than usual. We are doing everything we can to improve our responsiveness and customer satisfaction.
Finally, we want to assure you that negative reviews represent less than 1% of our activity. We are committed to providing quality service to each of our customers and resolving any issues when they arise.
We hope you will give us another chance to serve you in the future.
