Ordered two figures *unopened… Ordered two figures *unopened condition* boxes are like brand new. EMS literally arrives in ireland in under 3 days and SAL under a month at least, which I usually choose for smaller figures. Definitely check them out if you're looking for a good price.

My purchasing experience with Madarake… My purchasing experience with Madarake was deeply disappointing. I bought a celluloid during an auction for 50 euros. To my dismay, upon receiving the item, it was in a deplorable condition and emitted a strong vinegar smell. I naturally requested a return, which was granted. However, the shipping costs to send the item back to Japan amounted to 190 euros, nearly four times the item's value. I reached out to Madarake, hoping for some form of commercial gesture or that they would cover the prohibitive return cost, only to be met with utter silence. Despite sending over five emails, I got no response. Furthermore, my delivery through DHL was plagued with delays and issues. With DHL refusing to process my complaint since I wasn't the sender, I once again turned to Madarake, hoping they could step in. Yet again, my attempts to communicate were ignored. While Madarake might offer quality products, their customer service is downright pitiable. If you encounter an issue with a purchase, be prepared to be left in the lurch. Such indifference towards customers is unacceptable, and I can only caution others about the risk of ending up the "big loser" as I did.

Astronomical shipping fees They have very good prices with their items. But they over-inflate shipping fees to very shocking extents that it defeats the purpose of getting any good deals from them in the first place. Would've given 0 rating if I could, for trying to milk you for that big extra lump of money at the shipping.

Amazing Japanese store It's easy to shop there as they have English setting for international buyers to make things simple when looking for anime goodies they sell. This place has almost everything you can think of in amazing condition. I bought chainsaw man denji nendoroid here that looked to be only displayed in box and looked brand new. Some items have to be estimated and checked for availability on their different branches like Sapporo but got back to me quickly. I will always look to this site for authentic figures.

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.
