I ordered an item from this website that they did not deliver. I tried multiple times to contact them for an update, and was thoroughly ignored.

Do not recommend. It’s been two months since I’ve ordered 3 different boxes. Close to $150 worth of product and they just keep offering excuse after excuse, no real resolution. I am now working with m... See more

The box had cool stuff in it (despite some of it looking like things you could get at any Asian market) but the overall experience was bad. For one, I didn’t receive everything in my order. The shipp... See more

First Box, hesitantly optimistic

The inspiremejapan box arrived today. Shipping took a while but I was contacted by the team early enough, so that didn't bother me. The sweet snacks were ok, but i revceived the same two savory snacks (in total 4 snacks) The cultural souvenirs were chopsticks, postcards and two patches for a jacket I guess (bit niche). I would have enjoyee Stickers or sth more. The magazine and the flashcards were amazing quality though and I did order the 3 month subscription in advance, so there is still a chance that the next boxes are a bit more diverse. Corona apparently influenced their buisness aswell. For someone without an asian supermarket or someone new to Japan, a fine box.

Still haven't received any of my boxes

I dont know if its because of Corona or what. But I ordered my first box back in April and still haven't received anything. I've stuff coming from Korea and China and it came within a week. I also paid for a second box and haven't received that. Needless to say I canceled my subscription.. im still trying to wait a little to see if I actually get them. If not, I'll be requesting refunds.

I haven't even received my order yet

Update*
To be honest, i was very disappointed with what I received. I got photo cards that I could've made myself, photos that were taken from fansites and printed out. I thought I was getting something I cant obtain myself.. I wish I could get a refund.. And they sent me a pack of ramen noodles which seemed pretty tacky..

I haven't even received my order yet. don't count your eggs before they hatch....

And even after your response it seems you didn't really read my review. There is nothing to review besides long shipping. I will submit another review after I have received my shipment.

Awesome culture box!

With great excitement I received my first Inspire Me Korean culture box today and I was not disappointed! The contents was varied and relative, with a combination of snacks, gifts, photo cards, language and culture info. I love it! The packaging is beautiful and the whole thing is just sending me deeper into this Korean culture rabbit hole I fell down after watching my first k-drama years ago. I'm sad I have to wait another month for the next one!

No communication about order yet kept receiving emails about how I did I like my order etc. Still haven’t received it and no idea if it’s been shipped, on hold or anything. Still waiting on a reply for company too after emailing them.

Variety

Quite impressed with the box that was sent, the variety. It would be great if my daughter could get the K- Pop one.
