Well packed in bubble wrap in several layers

Recieved the Japanese package in the UK within a month. Well packed in bubble wrap in several layers. One outside the box a few levels on the products themselves within the box. The coffee server are well made. The lid is secure once on but removable. For me it was important a flat server bottom to be able to maintain coffee at a stable temperature on top of warmers. Overall very impressed by the little details.

USA Based Buyer Finds Japanese Tools

Great option for USA based buyers to find Japanese garden tools. The prices are extremely competitive with US based products even when accounting for shipping. The better quality of Japanese steal makes it a no brainer.

The shipment took 7 business days, landing right in the middle of the estimated window of 6-8. The items were packed extremely well. The website is somewhat clunky to navigate but if you know what you are looking for the checkout process is a breeze.

Wonderful place to buy Japanese home goods

Wide selection of quality products made from Japan. I particularly love the Noda kettle I bought, and everything came well packaged. Staff was also very communicative and courteous about any delays in processing due to backorder.

Pretty good

Pretty good. One of the few places I was able to find this item. Delivered within a reasonable timeframe. Although shipping was quite expensive. One of the pens in the set arrived with the cap loose, however it works perfectly fine and is not dried out. Very happy with my purchase. (#866213KC)

The the product is exactly as described…

The the product is exactly as described and I have no problem with that. But I was not expecting was the customs duty charge, there was no mention at the time of purchase and this is the only reason why I cannot give five stars

AVOID!

AVOID!
I thought there was something off when I first encountered this site.
I ordered an item, it took forever to arrive, but overall seemed ok.
I then went to reorder the same item a few months later, it had more than doubled in price and the postage cost was nearly double too!
On challenging kiichin, I got some convoluted story that their suppliers set the product and postage price!
My initial gut instinct was correct, kiichin are little more than a 3rd party reseller, perhaps they should rebrand themselves “kerching”…
AVOID!

Dear Ian,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment and would like to clarify a few points.

As a seller, we do not manufacture the products ourselves but source them from our suppliers. Some items with high demand frequently go out of stock, and restocking can take time, which may impact pricing. Prices are set by suppliers, and fluctuations can occur due to availability, exchange rates, and other market factors beyond our control.

Regarding shipping, you selected Registered Small Packet AIR, which typically takes 25–30 business days for delivery. The process can sometimes be further delayed due to customs clearance procedures, which are unfortunately beyond our control.

As for shipping fees, we do not set or profit from them. We collect the charges on behalf of the delivery service, and rates may vary depending on the carrier’s policies.

We genuinely appreciate your business and regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. If there is anything we can do to assist you further, please let us know.

Best regards,
Kiichin Team.

Damage Item, No Replacement or Refund

My order of a Shirician grill arrived broken and inoperable. I contacted Kitchen, and they offered 20% off. I clarified with them that the item was inoperable and needed to be replaced. They then offered a 50% refund. I again let them know that the items were completely broken and not operational, and I needed a full refund or replacement. They did not respond, and I had to contact my CC co to file a dispute.

Dear Nick,

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by your broken and inoperable Shirician grill. I truly regret the poor resolution you received and the lack of proper follow-up.

After reviewing your case, it is clear that the issue was caused by inadequate packaging, which led to the item arriving damaged. I understand how disappointing this must have been, and I am very sorry for the trouble it has caused you.

We has been working to improve our packaging and customer service processes to prevent similar issues in the future. We hope that you can allow us the chance to serve you in the near future.

Once again, I sincerely apologize and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Kiichin Team.
