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

NLAfter I purchased I saw the trustpilot… After I purchased I saw the trustpilot reviews and I got scared, but the tickets were there - as promised - the day after I ordered them (the Netherlands). Everything was complete and fine and clearly communicated from begin till end. Would surely buy again here!

CASCAM MIDDLEMAN PRETENDING TO BE… SCAM MIDDLEMAN PRETENDING TO BE OFFICIAL SITE! When I tried to book my seats, I discovered the real site for JR Rail Pass (I was not able to book seats, as I had not ordered from the real site).....so frustrating!! Trying to get my money back now

SGScam Middleman This is a scam. At best they are an unnecessary middle man that makes getting a pass more expensive, more time consuming, and less convenient. Passes can be purchased online directly from JR and then picked up at any vending machine with a passport reader. Purchasing through jrpass.com means you pay a higher price, you pay to have a voucher mailed to you, then, once in Japan, you must go to a specific kind of JR office (of which there are relatively few), you must wait in an often long line to exchange your “voucher” for an actual pass. Don’t fall for it. Don’t waste your time or your money.
