GBOrder with confidence! Hard to tell which service in UK is legit as the official Japanrailpass.net site doesn’t provide weblinks for official 3rd party global resellers and the reviews for the usual Google sites seem to vary A LOT! Decided to go with JRPASS.COM *only* because they had an active forum. Ordered the passes (in London) and received the jrpass within 2 days! Slightly more expensive, but when you are parting with over £400 for a rail pass, an extra £10 was worth it. Definitely recommend if you are new to this.

AUFailure of responsibility JR Pass failed to collect and pass on the required information for the package (family of 5 so a high transaction value) to be cleared by South Korean customs. As a result the package was delayed and consequently arrived after we'd left the country. If we'd cancelled the order we lose 20% so I managed through the kindness of strangers to get it rerouted, delivered, picked up and sent to another address. If your service is sending packages around the world, at least know what the requirements are for the country it's being sent to! Highly stressful to say the least and we still have to hope the package turns up!

JPAt best poorly run and disingenuous At best a poorly run and disingenuous company. Claimed to ship the pass in 2 business days, while in reality it took 8 and therefore did not reach me before my trip. At which point they say the only recourse is to buy another ticket and after the trip refund the previous one, without mentioning that they only refund 85%. My traveling companion purchased his jr pass from another company and had it arrive within 2 business days with no issues

JPPositive experience Has a wide range of JR passes available on that website which are all easy to purchase. The passes arrived a few days after I ordered them as expected and exchanging them in Japan was very straightforward.

GBDO NOT purchase your JR pass through… DO NOT purchase your JR pass through this merchant. The site poses as an official Japan Rail site, but the JR service in Tokyo has never heard about them. The voucher NEVER arrived and the costumer support is simply not responding for OVER A WEEK now. There is no other forms of contact. Hopefully, I manage to get a refund claim through credit my credit card company. Their reported TrustPilot score is fake (how this is not checked is beyond me). UPDATE: immediately after this review the company finally answered and I received a full refund.
