Hello Japan Crate team! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ I wanted to thank you for making me happy with a variety of sweets and colorful, interesting design of the boxes. (◕ᴗ◕✿) I liked almost everything from the contents of the box, but the drink in the bottle impressed me the most.^^ I look forward to the next order to enjoy the taste experience again. (◔‿◔)

The products I receive monthly are unique and handy. The items are worth the amount I pay for it. Recently, my crates have been arriving later than usual and I did not receive an update until I emailed the company. However, customer support was very kind and quickly updated me on the situation.

They won't respond, so redoing one here. I was correct in my previous review. I finally got the one I ordered on JULY 10th and got the one for August. Fantastic. The one I specifically said I ordered it for was never shipped and they just went, "here, have this one, it's fine".

Japan is a very special place to my heart, and being able to check out and try new things there in my hometown makes me happy. I love the themes you create and follow with your monthly crates. Keep up the excellent work, and I can’t wait to get my first crate ☺️
Hi Razan! Your love for Japan is heartwarming! We can't wait to share the joy with your first crate. Stay excited for the wonderful experiences ahead! Thanks for the feedback! We really appreciate it. Have a great day! ＼(٥⁀▽⁀ )／
Don’t bother emailing them, Just leave reviews because that’s the only way you’ll get a response from them… I originally made a review on 7/11/23 for a partial missing order and they responded asking for my “order number and that they would look into it.” I have not heard back from them since. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but it’s been over a week and I should ATLEAST have some type of update….. at this point just cancel my future orders that have been already paid for…

Fulfillment time too slow, not worth it for the money. I have ordered my first Japan Crate 20+ days ago, last night I had to cancel it due to exhaustion. Plus counting it’s almost 50€ per month (additional taxes/duties upon arrival in Eu) it’s way too much I can afford. It’s way too convenient to visit my local Asian shop. What a shame, I really was looking forward to try them for once. I would suggest to lower the subscription costs and fasten up the fulfillment time.Thank you
Hi Simona! First of all, thank you for complying with Trustpilot Content Integrety Team to provide additional information about your order. Secondly, we're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Japan Crate didn't meet your expectations. Cancelling your subscription after such a long wait must have been really frustrating, and we completely understand how exhaustion can play a part in such decisions. We understand that the cost of the subscription, along with additional taxes and duties upon arrival in the EU, can be quite overwhelming and out of reach for some. Your concerns about affordability are entirely valid, and we want you to know that we're listening. Regarding your subscription, we have already processed a full refund back to your original payment method, so you should see the amount back in your account by this time. We truly hope this resolves any financial strain you might have experienced. Additionally, we will be sending you an email shortly to further address your concerns and discuss any potential improvements we have in the works. Once again, we apologize for any disappointment caused, and we hope that you will consider giving us another chance in the future. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support. Have a great day!
First off it was a very slow delivery with no updates, then when the postal service in my country made a mistake and send it back to them, the assured me that they would send it to me again when they got it. Again I got no updates and when I send an email to hear if they had gotten the crate back, I got no answer. Now I'm sitting her with no crate and no money 6 months later.. Edit: after posting this review, I have gotten my money back from them, which improves my experience with them a bit. I'm still at three stars because I had to make a bad review before they took any action to help me.
Hi Tobias! Thanks for sharing your details. I will send an email shortly and discuss a resolution to your issue. Again, we sincerely apologize for the experience. If you have further concern, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support. Have a great day!
Awesome Service but shipping still needs work ever since it was switched from DHL.
Hi Omar! Thank you for feedback. We apologize for any issues you've experienced since the switch from DHL. We value your support and are actively working to improve our shipping process for a better experience. If you have further concern, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support. Have a great day!
Hi Marika! Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us! We are excited to continue serving you. Have a great day!
It was ok. Got the May Shinkansen box. Several items in box had expiration dates for May and were previous items from the Sakura box.
Hi there! To clarify, the date on the item is not the expiration date. The date that is mentioned on the packaging of our products such as candies, chips, dried noodles, drinks, and other Japanese snacks, is something that is referred to as shoumikigen (賞味期限), also known as the Best Before Date. The Best Before Date is the final date that the manufacturer deems the item to be fresh, it is still safe to consume up to 3 months after the fresh date as long as the product is still sealed :) We hope this helps. If there’s anything else we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.
I've always wanted to try it. So I finally pulled the trigger. I like how many different things will come in it and they are all things I could use for work since I work in an office.
Hi Patricia! It's wonderful to hear about your experience! Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to continuing to serve you. Also, thank you for your trust and support, have a great day! (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆
I love Japan Crate! Their new billing date really works for me too. Thanks. I give 4 stars only because there are no sneak peeks of your other crates (Umai, Inku, Doki Doki, and Gatcha).
Hi Stewart! Thanks for the feedback. Though we didn't get a 5 star (*^‿^*), we really appreciate you. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. Have a great day!
There is a nice variety of snacks in the Japan Crate and it is fun to see all of the new and funky flavors. While I'm not a fan of fish flavored things, I try every one of them just in case I might actually like it. I'd love more variety of drinks though.
Hi Angie! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience! We are happy that you love them and we appreciate your support. We are looking forward to continuing to serve you. Have a great day and thanks for choosing us! ＼(＾▽＾)／
Site was easy to navigate and fun! Looking forward to my first box!!
Hi Brittany! It makes us very happy to hear that you had a great experience. Thank you for your kind words. It is our pleasure to serve you. (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆
I have ordered in the past before and was confused as to why my order was taking so long. I reached out to the customer service and they replied in a nice thoughtful manner. I now understand why it took so long and I can't wait for my new crate!
Hi Josh! We are happy to hear that you had a great experience! We look forward to continuing to provide you with the best possible service. Have a great day! ＼(＾▽＾)／
