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.

At 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

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.

Scam 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.

After 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!
