Huge shipping issues to the US

Out of 3 boxes, I have only received one :( They seem to be getting lost in transit.

Hi Veronique! I have reviewed your account and would like to first and foremost sincerely apologize for the sub-par experience; unfortunately, the ongoing supply chain issues has delayed the arrival of many of our crates.
With the recent increase of Covid cases, our logistic partners have been affected with a labor shortage, thus affecting some of our shipments. Due to these abrupt and unexpected changes, we decided to pursue other shipping methods that would allow us to ship our future crates without delays. As we've already set with the new shipping method, we kindly ask you for your understanding and patience. Rest assured, we finally finished contract agreements, so everything should be going much smoother from here on out. However, we're really sorry that it has...
long shipping delays but good quality

took 3 months to arrive but we loved everything in the box! there were two items, though, that were just like standard american products and we would have preferred something a little different. they were a simple salted potato chip and a candy that was essentially m&m's. 2 out of 10 products wasn't a big problem though. and all items were good quality and we devoured it all.

Hi Cynthia! We're sorry about the shipping at the moment but rest assured, we are trying our 100% best to sort all things out to avoid future delays. Thanks for the feedback. We’ll definitely take this into account when putting together future crates. We really appreciate the update and have a great day!(o_ _)ﾉ彡☆
Give me my money back

*UPDATE* I got a surprise in my mailbox today. I was fully expecting to never receive this box, but it arrived today. The wait & communication was frustrating, but I love the items in the box. I like the packaging and I really appreciate the pamphlet with the descriptions of the snacks. It's Valentine's themed for Feb so there is a lot of chocolate - luckily I love chocolate. As much as I like the box, I'm not sure I would order again because I don't want to pay for a box and then sit in limbo wondering if it's ever gonna show up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ordered this box in January and I still haven't received it. About a month ago I got an email stating that processing orders had become more difficult, so I'd have to pay them $10 to ship my order out. I immediately emailed for a refund & was told it would be shipping shortly. Well... where is it? I understand the pandemic made things tough so I was trying to keep patience, but it's run out now. You shouldn't have accepted orders if you knew you couldn't fullfill them. Also it's very obvious that they're writing fake reviews to keep their rating up. Almost every review with the "Verified Purchase" tag is 1-star. I want a refund immediately.

Hi Tanya! It is great to hear you already received your crate! Finally!!! This is great news and we really appreciate the update. Thank you for taking time to update your review. We really appreciate it. Best Regards. (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆

I wish it had a little more stuff in it. Maybe a bigger box.

Hi Jeffrey! Please note that we have a variety of Japan Crate snack box. If you prefer a bigger box and more snacks and candies, why not try our Japan Premium Crate instead? With 18-20 full-size candy & snacks and a Japan-exclusive drink and lastly you'll get a bonus item as well (from a bag of Japanese Kit Kats to collectibles).
Thanks for the feedback. Though we didn't get a 5 star (*^‿^*), we really appreciate you. If you have any questions, we’re available anytime through our support email. Please reach out and we’re more than happy to help.
Great Crate!

After initially declining to refund an auto-renewal of this product when I notified them of my intent to cancel (though they continute to claim I did not) and then reiterated my desire to cancel on the same day as the subsequent charge, the vendor agreed to refund the remaining amount of my purchase in exchange for removing the negative review. I am apparently unable to just delete this review, so I am editing it to clarify.

I would never have paid over $20 for the small amount of "samples" I got, but my kids had a lot of fun testing everything. The experience was nice. I liked that they included a little booklet explaining all the snacks.

First box took forever, 2nd caught up

Updated as of the second month receiving this box - the content was awesome, I’ve special ordered (and had to search hard!) for several of the snacks I’ve gotten from these crates. The first month I ordered I did end up waiting about 7 weeks before receiving my box (ordered March 02 - they shipped my first box around March 20 and did not receive it until the 3rd week of April) but the second box I got the last week of April. I am waiting to see if this trend continues and it takes 1-2 weeks to deliver to my location in the western United States, or if that second box was expedited due to the huge lag in waiting time for my first box. I will continue my subscription, because the snacks are things you just can’t get where I am, and there is huge value to that for me!!

Hi! We sincerely apologize for the experience. While it is our intention to delivery our crates as quickly as possible, regretfully, we have limited control of our crates once they leave our warehouse (delays are normally the result of customs, weather, or the postal service). Rest assured, your crates should be arriving soon enough.
Question
Aug 29, 2018
Nicole N.
Will I still get the premium August box if I order now?
Hi! When ordering on our website, you are ordering the crate for the following month (example, orders placed in the month of September will be the for the October crate).

Japan Crate is good for food and every thing else and I loved their plum blossom chips in their April box. The thing that gets is me no tracking and the 2-6 week arrival so you have no idea when it'll be coming.

Hi! We have chosen to ship our crates without tracking so that we can invest more in the crates (better items). We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

We did love the crate but was hoping for a year of the dog theme- maybe a Shiba!

I've been a subscriber since March 2016. I have only had one problem: one box contained several lemon-flavored items and a bag of cough drops. Otherwise, I love everything. No problems receiving items or boxes, so I can't comment on customer service. I've tried several boxes, but this is my favorite. Last month I got soy sauce flavored Cheetos! Yum!! I am very happy with this service, but I do miss the Manga comic that they used to send each month.
