Bad experience. I ordered in January. I haven't gotten the products yet. I've already payed, but I don't have any information about the products. I lost my money.

I placed an order with them for a blue-ray box set.

I placed an order with them for a blue-ray box set.
They quoted a 1-2 day shipping at a specific shipping rate.

However, after THREE days of not getting any kind of shipping confirmation, I sent them an email to ask about the shipping delay.

I received an email from them on the 4th day informing me that the shipping rate had increased significantly. They needed my approval before they could ship the item.

As of the fifth day, they still have NOT shipped my oder in spite of their claim of shipping in1-2 days.

As a result of the shipping delay and increased shipping rate, I consider this to be dishonest and rather annoying outcome. I'll never order from them again in the future.

Excellent buy!

Fast shipping! (one week from Japan to Europe)
The package was good, too. I ordered a book and it's sealed in plastic, a bubbles thingie and some papers (gonna reuse them for sure!). Totally a good experience!

Worst Customer Service I've ever seen

I've pre-ordered a CD one year (!) ago. At the shipping method I've choosen was available. A month and a half after the released date (so, 2 months my preorder), and only because I contacted them, they told me that the shipping method was not available for my country because of delays and that if I wanted my CD I needed to pay the double of what I paid at first. It's been one year ago, the shipping method is still available and I've never gotten neither my CD nor my money back. They didn't even propose a discount or anything. Don't ever order on this website, you might never get what you want.

Looks like a scum

I`ve often ordered from this store before and it was my favorite one. However, for the past two years, CDJapan has looked like a scam to me. I pre-ordered item that was in stock. As soon as the payment is made, you wait a week to find out that the item is out of stock. After a month of waiting, the order is simply canceled and the money will not be returned to you. This situation had placed last year, and it happens again. The money will be returned to you with points that you can spend on an item you don’t need or on something you want, but maybe next year. However, be sure you will not receive your order in the next year too.

You would make it your favorite store

I discovered this store last year, at first I didn't believe the prices, in my country allot of this stuff is overpriced and I asked myself where is the catch? But there is no catch, the prices are great and you can find a lot of items that youI wouldn't find elsewhere. The items are carefully packaged and everything arrives in excellent condition. They give you reward points with every purchase and also give out reward points to loyal customers. The proxy shopping for sold out items worked out great for hard to find items.

When buying in this store

When buying in this store, you get an excellent Japanese quality product in a super reliable package. The service is at the highest level. I only regret that I did not become a client of this store earlier.

Great experience

I've been a customer for over a year now. I like the variety and have bought various stuffs from books, mangas, cds, stationary, etc. I love that they give out reward points to loyal customers and they packed items really well. They also have proxy shipping for sold out items on the site which worked out great for hard to find items. Overall it's a great experience.

Super-duper website

Super-duper website. Tells you all the info you need, like if there are subtitles on dvds, offers you free gifts if available with new release items and has a proxy buying service. Great website and great service!
