Failure 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!

Awful shady practices Awful. Website says if you spend over $880, you get up to 50% discount on your shipping price. Despite this we paid the full $23 for shipping to Australia. They email me days later saying they’ve put my order on hold because they decided it costs an ADDITIONAL $45 to be shipped. $68 shipping total when I already spent $1100. Ridiculous. Cancelled my order and bought it from Klook where it was $97 less that JRPass, and that was before their awful bull crap extra shipping charges.

Ignoring me and Misinformation on the activation date Misinformation on the activation date The website states that it can be purchased 180 days in advance. since my travel date was more than 3 months after the purchase date. I wanted to take advantage of the current pricing before the price increase in October. I emailed their customer support and received confirmation that this was possible and was told to contact them back to change the date once I made my purchase. As soon as I finished my transaction I sent an email and asked to change the activation date. I didn't hear back for a few days, so I sent another email. 3 days later no reply stil and reading similar reviews!!!, how do I get a refund when you ignore me!

Not the best, yet fair Absolute scam. We paid two 14-day passes and they told us they would ship them to our hotel in Tokyo. We never got them and they are not even replying to emails anymore. Absolute scammers, never buy from this company, they are just a middleman!!! EDIT: AFTER A WEEK OF NOT RESPONDING TO EMAILS AND US HAVING SENT MULTIPLE MESSAGES TO PLEASE REFUND US, THEY MADE A 100% REFUND ALSO WITH SHIPPING COSTS.

Positive 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.
