I ordered over 1000$ worth of figures from them. It was confusing at first because the store was also working with the new tariff and tax laws. After I exchanged some emails with Hobby Genki about... See more

Good service

The private warehouse option is very useful, Figures come in quick and with no damage, some figures I get have tight joints but overall very happy with their service!

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 .

My first order on hobby-genki…

My first order on hobby-genki and they absolutely didn’t disappoint. My package arrived well taken care off AND 3 days after ordering! I will for sure order again.

I am very happy with Hobby-GENKI!

I am very happy with Hobby-GENKI!
I preordered the new Wingman figure from them a year ago. At first I was pretty skeptical about this, but still gave it a try. And wow, a year after, I received the order and it’s beautiful! Thank you Hobby-GENKI!

Customer service can be terrible with Hobbygenki

I pre ordered two figures in late December. For reference it's Hatsune miku Sourxuan pop up parades.

They never shipped my order to me despite seeing competitors having it in stock and I was just waiting and waiting with Hobbygenki.

They agreed to a refund or credit slip for this bad experience. I initially agreed to a credit slip but they didn't process that, so decided I just wanted my money back with a 5% deduction.

To this present day I still haven't received my money back. They supposedly processed my refund on 26th January and are doing nothing. They ignore my requests and have basically stolen my money. I may have to resort to PayPal at this point.

If you get your order correct with Hobbygenki it's smooth. If they mess up your order, it's some of the worst customer service you'll ever experience.

It's unfortunately made me use competitors more despite their good pricing.
