Very prompt

Very prompt. Great prices, surprisingly some items are cheaper, with shipping and taxes, than they would cost if I were to order them from Europe (I live in Romania) or Aliexpress.

What I liked the most was the small sticker on the package box, asking the delivery person to handle the package with extra care. It's the first time I've seen such a sticker on packages, and I've been shopping online and from all over the world for quite some time.

My dealings with Plaza Japan

I have dealt with Plaza Japan for several years. The selection of model trains & service is excellent & recently answered a question I had about Japanese railway containers.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. Some kits are hard to find in the UK and the price is good. For a total shipment price of up to £135 the UK VAT is already collected and the parcel gets delivered directly to the customers door - no fuss at all. Highly recommended.

The order I placed was severely delayed…

The order I placed was severely delayed for almost a month, and when I reached out to cancel it after waiting so long they wanted to charge a 5% cancellation fee. In the end I finally did receive my order and it was packaged very well, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Reply from Plaza Japan

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.

The shipping method selected for this order was an economy untracked service, which does not provide tracking updates once the package has been dispatched. This option is offered as a lower-cost shipping method for customers who prefer reduced shipping fees, but unfortunately it also comes with slower delivery times and limited shipment visibility while in transit. If you would prefer tracking numbers in the future, we highly recommend standard air registered, which is also a bit slower and budget-friendly but does provide tracking numbers for a slightly higher price.

We want to assure you that your order was shipped. International economy mail can occasionally experience significant delays depending on postal processing and customs in the destination country.

We understand the lack of tracking can be stressful, and we are always happy to assist customers with shipment inquiries through our support channels.

We appreciate your patience and feedback.

Great value items

Great value items, available, well-packed and quick delivery. One can pre-order and be notified once items are available. Fantastic source of Kato model railway items.
