Paid $45 for an $11 box of nothing.
Paid $45 for a $11 box of nothing. I subscribed to Japan Crate's, Doki Doki Crate for all things kawaii! The first box took a really long time and that's probably because of Covid, so I can let that go but when I got the box (3 months later), it was not what I expected at all and it seems like, what was inside the box was not worth the money that I paid, so, I skipped the next renewal and had planned on canceling. But they had already charged me for next month's crate before I could cancel and when I emailed them, they did not reply and put my ticket as 'resolved' without even talking to me about anything! So already, 1. The things inside the box aren't worth the money and are generally things that you can get at a Daiso or Japanese convenience store. 2. Customer service completely sucks and lacks existence! I didn't calculate how much money was in the first box but I did this time because before I even opened the box, the fact that I had the box, made me livid. The prices of the items were in yen on the tags of the items (which seems like a dumb move on their part) so it was easily transferred into the US dollar or I could just scan the barcode and directly look up that item and its price; So every price you see, is exact. So, I paid a whopping $45, not just for the crate itself but for their special speedy shipping that they added on without even consulting me. What's the price of everything inside the September crate? Exactly $11.40. Tell me not to be angry. The items I got were a mini Sanrio hairbrush, a Sanrio kitchen/bathroom mat, a Sumikko gurashi plastic plate, a flimsy paper rabbit notebook and a cat KITCHEN SPONGE. They gave me a sponge. Yes, they were cute but not $45 cute and barely even $10 cute. I've since swiftly canceled the subscription and am never going back. Livid.
