Voice of Customers

HongKong 50s
Customer support always responds quickly and accurately to my inquiries. The first time I used the service, I was not familiar with the operation, and customer support provided me with detailed instructions.
What impressed me the most was the speed of their response, always getting back to me within a few hours. -
The United States 30s
I think the best part is that they package multiple items together for free.
I always ask for a large number of items, and they always pack them so neatly and carefully that I am fascinated every time. -
Singapore 30s
I feel secure because I am using one of Rakuten Group's service. I have used them several times so far, but they have all shipped quickly and I have never had any trouble with customs. They notified me the payment of customs duty promptly and without any uncertainties, and that the documentation is well handled. I will continue to use the service while I am abroad. Thank you very much.

Taiwan 20s
Both packing and shipping were speedy, and I think it is a very convenient service, as I received the package in 3 days from the packing request to the delivery.
I often use Rakuten Ichiba, so it was nice to be able to use Rakuten points to pay for overseas shipping! -
Australia 40s
My parents don't quite understand how to ship overseas, so I use Rakuten Global Express because it is convenient for me to buy what I want and have it handled there.

I have had deliveries with no accidents so far.
I appreciate the speedy judgement of items that cannot be shipped overseas, and the careful handling of the subsequent process, which I can use with confidence and trust.
