Questions
Q: Im allergic to gluten and dairy, is there anyway I can make sure I only get gluten and dairy free snacks? Asked by Alexandria S., May 2020
Hi there, thanks for reaching out, honestly, we don't actually offer any dietary specific crates. we cannot assure if our candies are gluten and dairy free. If you have specific allergies, then we advise against subscribing to our crates. Thank you.
This answer sucks
There is no such allergy towards gluten, if youre asking if its diet friendly, its candy.
Q: What is Kawaii? Asked by Cory L., April 2020
Hi Cory! Thanks for reaching out! We do appreciate it! "Kawai" is the Japanese word for "cute". If your interested to subscribe with our Doki "Kawai" goodies. Each Doki Doki Crate features genuine, licensed Japanese products of the highest quality. Each monthly subscription box features a new collection of fun toys, cute plushies and other items that will help you live your kawaii lifestyle. Talk soon! :)
“Kawaii” is the romanization of the Japanese word for “cute”, and has become a big part of modern Japanese culture, like how “manly” is in American culture.

Q: How long after purchase will it arrive? Asked by Abbie L., July 2019
Hi Abbie! Hope your staying safe. Upon order we ship the crates via DHL and will only take 5-7 days before it will arrive in your location. But of course, depends on where you live. If you have other questions or just wanted to say Hi! we’re available anytime through email. Reach out and we’re more than happy to help.
They ship on a "rolling schedule" which according to their blog means if you pay by the 14th, it ships on the 20th. Pay between the 15th and 23rd, ships on the 30th. Pay after the 23rd but before the end of the month, ships on the 3rd of the following month. They do email you when it ships, but they don't provide tracking numbers. I get the email that my crate shipped on the 3rd, the first month it...
Takes up to a month. They will usually Bill the next one before that one shows up. I stopped subscribing because half the time the box was busted up in shipping and they refused to do anything about it.
I was charged for a second one just as the first one arrived, it had been a month so I'd completely forgotten about it. As for the second one its been over a month and I still haven't received it, even allowing for Christmas that doesn't make sense. Also the tracking numbers don't work. But youtubers get theirs immediately despite living further away so I guess they aren't entirely lying, you'll get special treatment and immediate delivery if you are...

First of all.... The reviews that I’ve seen from this website completely scared the living life out of me. There are many complaints that customers haven’t received their crate yet. But I can assure you that they are doing the best they can! All you have to do is contact customer support for shipping information.
JapanCrate, I’m sorry I doubted you in the first place❤️ I’m currently enjoying my first crate I ever got from you guys and I’ve never been satisfied in so long. IT KNLY TOOK THEM 2 DAYS FOR IT TO ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE AFTER RECEIVING SHIPPING NOTIFICATION.
Thank you Japan Crate☺️❤️

Hi Josh! Thank you so much for writing in about this! I see that you ordered on January 10th. We're terribly sorry if you were expecting your crate to be delivered sooner.
On our website, at checkout, and on your order confirmation, we ask that you wait for 5-10 business days for your crate to be lovingly processed and put together.
Once it's been fulfilled, we ask that you wait for another 5-7 business days for it to be delivered. We also state that there are, unfortunately, slight delays with some of our shipping couriers. However, I see that your crate has been all set and ready to be picked up! We're just waiting for your shipping courier to swing by and pick it up....
Wonderful Assortment!

This box was beyond my expectations!! I loved the variety offered and the additional non-ramen bonuses! Very grateful for the information packet- keep ahold of that because the english instructions are in there and NOT on the individual containers! Super excited to dig in!

I only have gotten one box which was recieved March 4th with payment in February. It is now April 7th, and have been charged for March and April for $80. Yet have recieved nothing, I understand that shipping is delayed but there has been no communication on their end.
UPDATE
I recieved all the boxes about a month after this review. The company was having difficulties shipping due to the pandemic. I subscribed again because it is a really good box and we have alot of fun testing & trying all the goodies picked out.

Ramen Box

hello, I placed two orders on the same day for two different boxes. We had a great experience with the Ramen box but have not received any tracking or reply in regard for the other crate we ordered on January 10th. I believe shipping issues are the problem and hope my nephew receives his box as this was a Christmas present. I will send another email

Worst Service Ever!!

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!
I ordered the December crate on the 17th of November and received an email on the 28th November saying that my crate was shipped and is on it's way. However upon checking the tracking on DHL's website there was no update regarding DHL even receiving the crate so I contacted DHL and they said that they have not received the crate at all. Then after 5 business days I still had not received my crate, keep in mind that it cost $20 for shipping alone and it was stated that shipping would take 3-5 business days. I then emailed Japan Crate asking what the issue was and they said please allow 5-10 business days from the order date which made no sense as it had already been 3 weeks since I ordered. Another 5 business days passed and still nothing so I emailed Japan Crate again and they did not respond to me at all so I had to email them for a 3rd time and finally they responded but they didn't help me at all. I was very unhappy with the service and I emailed again stating that I wanted a refund as the service was horrible and I was no longer willing to wait. Then after that email I suddenly get an email from them saying that my crate was damaged and was sent back to them by DHL which was a lie as I contacted DHL and they said they didn't receive the package at all....

Patrick,
Thank you so much for your review. We are terribly sorry about your experience.
The automated email that went out on the 28th of November was very unfortunate, as
a small number of crates in that mass shipment were not actually shipped out on time.
Our crates are fulfilled within 5-10 business days, handed over to the shipping courier, and delivered shortly thereafter, depending on the shipping courier and the subscriber's location. (In your case, South Africa)
We fully anticipated that everything was on time and ready to be handed over to the shipping
courier, which is why the automated email went out.
However, your crate was in a particular batch of Premium Holiday crates that were damaged between our warehouses, before being handed over to DHL (meaning DHL...

Ordered a box early December with a note that it would arrive before Christmas. Was charged to my credit card but never received a box. Received a Valentine's themed box (clearly not the Christmas/ December box or even the January box) in late January after having my credit card charged a second time.
Customer service would not refund/ help regarding the box that never arrived. They simply stopped replying. I should have listened to other reviews about boxes not arriving. Avoid Avoid Avoid.

Hi Brandon! First of all, we're deeply sorry for the delay and for the overall experience. We saw that you had reached out and your ticket was accidentally closed, so we're not able to response back. It seems that we misunderstood your recent response and we didn't provide information about your delayed January crate. And we're really sorry about that.
Anyways, based on the email, your January crate was shipped and still in transit that is why we wont be able to refund it. When we handed to our new shipping provider during the shipment process last December, we thought it will be fast as promised but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances during the transition we've experienced more major delays because of the move that we...

We've checked your January crate and we can see that it was shipped but due to unforeseen circumstances during our transition with our new shipping provider. Your crate was included with the batch where it didn't shipped on schedule. We're really sorry for the delay. Rest assured, your crate is in transit. You can expect an email from us very shortly with the tracking information of your crate. Have a great day!
