One of the worst customer services One of the worst customer services you will ever see. Be careful as well about the fact that they sell opened, used, and possibly defective items as unopened. Happened to me more than once. You will read about this here as well, it happens often apparently. They won't do anything about. They might even ban your account if you try to ask for a small compensation about it. It's a very terrible shop. The state of customer service in Japanese shops is terrible all around anyway, so don't expect this to be any better.

I love Mandarake I have ordered 3 times from Mandarake, and I adore this service. I’ve only ordered figma figures and the shipping cost is very reasonable (around 1000yen) which is so good for how quickly they arrive, which is plus or minus 4 days. I imagine that purchasing anything larger would up the prices, I have never found cheaper prices on rare action figures and i will continue to use this service.

Disgusting Practices & Scalpers' BFFs Disgusting practices. No communication. Cancelling and banning loyal customer accounts, while alternatively allowing native scalpers to purchase items only to re-list on Yahoo auction for 4x to 10x the retail price. Many items are special figures or kits that many of us who admire/respect the artist have been searching for for years. Mandarake would rather let the scalpers have everything. Also took money for an order, then cancelled but kept the money. The item was relisted for sale on the site, without any reply or refund, so fast that it was absolutely intentionally. Do not deserve to be in the figure-collecting community's good graces.

Best japanese website to order from abroad I ordered many many items from Mandarake and all of them were positive experiences. They are usually quick to respond to a question and are really trying to be as helpful as possible. Also you can find pretty much anything anime, games, music, books related and even though most items are second-hand, the condition is almost the same as if it was a new product.

Awesome online experiences Really can't fault Mandarake - they have awesome prices on rare products, they ship super-fast and communications aren't a problem. I've had tow transactions with them and there's not been any problems at all. Highly recommended.
