Took my money and ran
Update: Japan Candy Shop delivered half of my order completely melted, so I requested a refund for the items that were still yet to ship after a month. A week later, PayPal emailed to let me know that the refund failed. I contacted them again, and they offered to refund the entire amount, but this refund also bounced. Eventually got half of my money back through paypal disputes. Avoid this store at all costs.
This shop needs to warn customers that they're experiencing shipping issues due to tariffs. On the website it states a 1-2 week delivery time, but the items I ordered a month ago are either still in transit or haven't even shipped yet. Given the items that shipped immediately are going to take a month to arrive, that means the second half of my shipment will likely be over 2 months. Not great when dealing with food items.

No longer trusting this website
Edit 8/27:
As the company replied here, 4 out of 14 items arrived yesterday. Arrived items were all expired.
When I told them, they said "they were not expired when we shipped them."
First time worked out great, I received my order, no problem.
However, the second time I've used them, it's been problematic.
I ordered on July 27, and i have not received a single item. The support is abysmal - they sit on the email until you send a followup email, and the response I received was generic "thanks for your patience, we are moving warehouses, will ship as soon as we are ready." This was at 2 weeks after the order, and I did not even know that the warehouse was being moved.
According to TrustPilot reviews, they have been moving warehouses for close to 6 months. That's fine, I understand that it could take sometime. However, what I dont understand is their communication as a company. It is not that difficult to put up a banner on the website to inform customers that there will be a significant delay due to the warehouse move, and indicate how long they anticipate for shipping out the item due to the move.
I'm still waiting for the support to answer back my email I sent couple of days ago about expected timeline on the shipping - if they don't reply back by next week, I will start a charge back on my cc. I definitely no longer recommend this business.

I use Japan candy store for umaibo
I use Japan candy store for umaibo, however I am still waiting on my first order. I’ve ordered twice from them and it’s been roughly 2 weeks since I first ordered from them. My first purchase should be arriving any day now, slightly frustrating haha hoping it’ll arrive soon!

Fun way to try Japanese goods
I've been ordering goodies from Japan Candy Store for the last couple of years. I've loved everything I've gotten and will continue to purchase more things to try.
Full order not recieved
I made a $50 order of 9 items on June 23. According to their website, delivery takes 4-5 days. 6 weeks later, I've only received 3 items. After reaching out 3 times, the company finally responded that they had to move their warehouse to Japan (it would have been nice to be warned about this delay when I made the order for a July birthday present). On July 10, they assured me the rest of my order would be "shipped soon." On July 22 they said the same. Now it's August 8... and no shipment or rumor of a shipment. At this point I'd be thrilled with a refund.
