I absolutely love it, it's soft and comfortable and I finally have an awesome button up to show my love for one piece, definitely wanting to order more as soon as I can, best investment I've made in a while!

“Fake Customer Service”

Kenneth A.
7/12/24

I messaged AnimeApe customer service about an issue I was experiencing, hoping to get some clarity. Unfortunately, the response I received felt very scripted and unhelpful. It seemed like the representative was just reading from a script, without addressing my specific questions or concerns. This experience left me frustrated and disappointed, as I was looking for detailed information. It's disheartening to encounter such impersonal service, especially when trying to resolve an issue. If you're seeking assistance from AnimeApe customer service, be prepared for potentially unsatisfactory, scripted responses. Good luck finding genuinely helpful service here.

I've ordered from anime ape a few times and I'm yet to have a bad experience… their products are top notch and their support responds fast, will continue to shop there until this changes!

Tip for consumers:
They ship from overseas and it’s made on demand, so can take 2-3 weeks to receive your order

Products used:
The jersey, Xmas sweaters, tshirts, cloaks

I really have enjoyed my experience with anime ape. The one thing that I didn't like was every time I tried to submit my order I kept running into issues but once I got my orders submitted it, it was very easy. I would like hopefully to see faster turn around times for shipping. Considering that even though 2 weeks isn't a long time, I would love to be able to get things a lot sooner. So that way if I'm doing a last minute order or I'm trying to get something for an event that I have it in time for that. Well I know I can plan ahead of time based off of what they have available. I would really enjoy being able to have an option to get a quicker shipping or next day shipping or something in that realm. So if that could be something that would be great. I also want to make note that they repeat the same patterns in different styles. I would love to see a bundle. We literally have the same prince for different styles. Why not have a bundle that gives me the option to purchase every one of those prints for those styles for that print. They can do a girl or guy bundle or let us do a mix and match. It's something to think about but it's not a necessity. All in all I was very happy with my experience and I will be coming back for more

I spent nearly $200 on a dream cloak, a hoodie, and a printed shirt for my wife for Christmas - all three were of poor quality - the dream cloak is made of cheap materials with poor craftsmanship, and both the hoodie and the shirt feel like non-breathable plastic on the skin. (Not to mention the print job is extremely cheaply done)

These garments were to be my centerpiece Christmas gift this year, so you can imagine my disappointment when she opened garments that were of this low quality.

There are numerous mentions on anime ape's website about the quality of their "hand crafted" products and their hassle-free return policy - Anime Ape has fallen short on both.

When a customer pays a premium price point for garments, the expectation is that the product quality will match the cost, but that is very much not the case here.

I initiated my return and I immediately start getting haggled by customer service. First they offer me an exchange (when I said the issue was the quality of clothing), then they offered me 60% of my money back, stating that it was "fair"

I'm sorry but when you mislead your customers into thinking they're buying a premium "handcrafted" product, but instead you're given a cheap print shop garment that isn't going to last, a 60% refund is not fair.

The return policy clearly states that Anime Ape will take it back for any reason and that satisfaction is 100% guaranteed, and I am finding that to not be the case.

These clothes aren't going to be worn, and I want to send them back. Anything short of that is unsatisfactory.

I can't believe I'm actually considering this, because I've never had do deal with customer service like this before, but if I dont get my money back, I'm absolutely taking this to small claims court

I'm a return customer when it comes to Anime Ape.
It all started with my Ahegao Hastune Miku Christmas Sweater, then came my Misato Evangelion Streetwear Sweatshirt, then my Ahegao Coconut (Neko-Para) Christmas Sweater, next up was my Frieren Streetwear Shirt and my Ahegao Kaguya Christmas Sweater.
The Christmas sweaters aren't sweaters per se' but moreso lightweight long-sleeved shirts. They're really comfortable and their feel is similar to a cross between a thin hoodie material and a t-shirt. They're somewhat "stretchy" and I love em.
The streetwise sweatshirts are sweatshirt material on the inside and a smoother material on the outside.
The streetwise t-shirts are of a material similar to 3D printed Ts. Sleek and comfy.
They fit around true to size.
Anime Ape has sales quite often and is definitely worth the money.
Shipping is relatively quick and gets to the states usually within a week.
Then it's just waiting for the USPS to do their job.
I highly recommend using Anime Ape and I do so often.

From the business

WE’RE A BUNCH OF GEEKS
Anime Ape was founded in 2013 by a group of geeks in their mid 20s who had recently lost their virginity. We started making shirts as a joke… But after a few of our designs went viral, we knew we had something special here. So after brainstorming over 8 redbulls and 12 rounds of Halo, we put together a genius 3 part marketing plan…

Phase 1: Design funny shirts
Phase 2:?
Phase 3: Profit

From then on, we decided to focus our energy into producing great designs and handpicking the coolest collectibles from all around the world and offer them on our website. We’re always adding new products and working hard to find new merchandise that our fans will truly appreciate. Join us, don’t take yourselves too seriously, and have a good time.
