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!

Correction, jrailpass.com does not offer Meet&Greet service I had written a bad review about the Greet&Meet service, it turns out that this service is not offered by jrailpass.com but by jrpass.com which presents itself as the official site for the Japan Rail Pass. So, I stand corrected as in fact railpass.com does not offer this service.

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

Resisted giving full refund for pass delivered too late The website said had enough time to deliver the pass before travelling, but I paid extra for next day delivery. It did not come for a week, by which time I had already departed for Japan. The company then tried to only give a partial refund. They eventually agreed after multiple messages to pay full refund and postal costs, but then in the end refused to pay for the registered mail to return the pass (which they insisted we use if wanted any money back at all). Very disappointing.
