I rated this a four star because they have a lot of options, drinks, food, snacks, items, etc. They have everything very organized and I haven’t had any issues on the website. The only sucky thing is... See more

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It's nice to see so many different colorful and designed products. Probably you discover every time something new. Room for improvement is the lack of labelled products with vegan or vegeterian.

Great Snacks

They always have such a nice variety of snacks for a reasonable price. Such a great gift idea for those who want to try new and exciting snacks.

My one special treat

I've never had a need to call their customer service, but their regular service is fantastic. I love the stuff that I get and it's always fresh and in good condition. In this economy have cancelled almost everything but i've kept this.

BRO.

I ordered 4 items and they were ALL in stock when I ordered. I have only received one. I ordered June 28th, and it is now August. I have received no updates, no notices on how these products randomly ran out of stock as soon as I ordered them? That now I need to put my phone number in for them to tell me when they'll be restocked. If I order something with a promise of there being a stock of those products, what sense does it make that now I can only receive one product that in of itself took almost a whole month to arrive?

Frustratingly Long Delay

I'm incredibly frustrated with this company. I ordered my first time in May and STILL haven't gotten my order. It took me reaching out to them to get any info on what was happening and even then they weren't able to even give me an estimate on when my parcel might arrive. I was talked out of canceling the order last month by an employee, but at this point I'm thinking the money would've been better spent somewhere else. Most of the snacks I picked are available on Amazon, Haisue, or other online candy stores that I know will get my order to me within a month.
64 days and counting. This is ridiculous.
The only reason I gave two stars is because the staff I talked to were very polite.

*Edit: Coming up on three months and still nothing. I reached out to the company to cancel. Don't recommend this shop at all based on my experience.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!!
Put in the order June 2nd. After a few weeks I sent an email asking what happened. Got a response that said they were moving their warehouse from Hong Kong to Tokyo. After a month I sent another email and received no response. They were quick to take my money, but are now bothered that I want the order I was promised, and can’t seem to respond to emails anymore. So I guess I’m out of $60. Total scam.

Hi Erik! Thanks for your patience! We notified all our customers by email about potential delays as we transitioned our warehouse from Hong Kong to Tokyo in response to U.S. tariffs. The good news is, our warehouse is now ready and we are shipping orders already.

Since you have requested us to cancel your order, we replied to your email and refunded your payment. Please feel free to reach out again if you have any further concerns or questions.
