I rated this a four star because they have a lot of options, drinks, food, snacks, items, etc. They have everything very organized and I haven’t had any issues on the website. The only sucky thing is... See more

It's nice to see so many different colorful and designed products. Probably you discover every time something new. Room for improvement is the lack of labelled products with vegan or vegeterian.

Japan Candy Store is unreliable

Japan Candy Store took 6 months to ship my order. When I received the order, they let me know that one of the products had expired, and they issued me store credit for the order. I emailed back asking for the amount to be refunded to my card, but they never responded.

No communication + scam?

I placed an order on December 2 on their website, and since then I haven't heard anything except for a message about the move, but that's it. I haven't heard anything despite sending reminders on WhatsApp at the beginning of the year.

If you happen to be reading this, my order number is JCS68421.

I've ordered twice in the past and never had any problems (except that the tracking was terrible), so I'm very disappointed, and I feel like the only way to contact them is through TrustPilot.

UPDATE
I did receive part of the package. It's been almost a month since my order was updated, but there is still no delivery update for the other products, and some products are in a single shipment (four deliveries for one order, and only one arrived in early February).

No news on WhatsApp, even though they claim otherwise in their reply to this message.

Overall expirience was quite bad.

I orderd a box there on December 1. and still gotten any Information if my Parcel has been shipped. Since ordering i tried to get in touch with the Custumer Support two Times and didn't get any response.
Its January 1. and still no Information or Package....

If someones wondering if i have recived anything... It's now January 13. and still nothing... No shipping information or parcel...

It's February 1. Its been about 2 Weeks since i did recive some shipping information. Still nothing showed up and when i look into the Shipment Tracking nothing had changed.
At this Point i am wondering what will show up at my door (if something comes) because i bought the Snack Rescue Box with Stuff that has reached its Expiry Date.... It's been two Months...

It is Febuary 10. and the Box finally arrived. It containd as much Candy as promised but most of the Stuff Expired in the beginning of October last Year. I knew, that the Box would contain Candy thats close or just over the Expiry Date, but over 4 Months is quite a lot...

In conclusion: If you live in Germany you shouldn't buy a Box with Stuff thats close to being bad... Otherwise be prepared for a long wait.

It is far past the promised ship time…

It is far past the promised ship time and I have attempted to email the company multiple times to check on my order with no response. I have had to submit a claim with my bank to reverse the charge.

They just took my money

They just took my money and never dispatched anything. Ignored all of my messages on multiple platforms. I've had to contact my bank to hopefully get my money back.

No customer service

Order JCS68960 - ordered snacks and candy for my daughter as a Christmas gift. No shipping information but gladly took my money. Reached out via email and WhatsApp with zero response. Terrible customer service.
