Overall great experience.

Overall great experience.
Besides figures they have an incredible collection of merchandise that's hard to come by ..
For example if you are into music boxes then look no further.
Figures too are in good variety and they do show up pretty quick as available to preorder.
If there is something to complain is that once you put an order they can't update it like combine items from another one or add/remove items.
Other then this, it's a nice spot to enjoy anime.

I paid for my order

I paid for my order. A week after my order I received Hobby-Genki I was told I had to pay another shipping fee! I'm going to report this to the proper Federal Agency.

Reply from Hobby-Genki

Dear Customer,

We are sorry to read your message, but we would like to clarify the situation.

We never requested any additional shipping fee. After your order was placed, we contacted you regarding the new import tariffs recently introduced by the U.S. government. You were not asked to pay for shipping again — we only informed you about the options available to handle these new tariffs:

You could prepay your tariff in advance (DDP) to ensure delivery without extra payment at reception.

You could keep your order stored in our warehouse free of charge and without any time limit, until you decided to ship it.

You could also choose DHL shipment, where the tariff would be paid directly to DHL upon delivery.

Finally, we also offered a full cancellation and refund, which we processed immediately once you requested it.

Please also understand that all this information is clearly displayed on our website, starting from our homepage, and that each order requires confirmation that the customer has read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions of Sale before being placed.

We always aim to provide transparent information and flexible options, and we regret any misunderstanding that may have occurred.

Kind regards,
The Hobby Genki Team

They are awesome, I mean it

It's been a while now since I have ordered from them.
They have a lot of products and they have even one of the best prices between the websites I order from.
Once they helped me with a request I had even if they usually don't do it. Staff is always kind, only once it happened that they didn't answer me.

I advise them if you are looking for some kind of merch that you cannot find locally, or preorders etc.

They know how to handle tough delivery :)

Was using hobby genki for a bit already, but this time I had an unfortunate situation with my local carrier - and the parcel never showed up at my door and was returned (local delivery company just messed up with this one). At the hobby genki team they helped me track down the parcel and submit a proper ticket for the delivery company's return. They were super lovely and helpful all the way and shipped the same box back with the reimbursement of all previous delivery/return costs. So it's a good price and a good support, all you may enjoy in a store! Very pleased with my experience .

Lack of information or any care with my recent order

In the past Hobby genki have been smooth with orders, and even quick.

My latest ordeal has me being charged for extra postage via FedEx Connect only to NOT be given a tracking number or even if it has been sent.

Hobby genki contacted me to say that the delivery I chose ( Japan registered packet air) wasn't enough. Why was it an option in the first place?

I complained to say that was what was offered, but they said would only send them out to me if I paid extra. I want my items soon because I am travelling away so agreed to paid the extra 4000 yen.

Like I said no idea what has happened with the extra 4000 yen I have paid and contact with them is non existent.

TLDR: They've used the service I initially paid for, but taken extra money for no reason. I'm only giving them an extra star for good service in the past.

Hobby genki, by chance if you're seeing this my order number is ASTKXPWWK.

The extra charge you've done nothing about is WKJVRMRTD
