Collector Protection

Return Policy

We stand behind every product we sell. If something isn’t right with your order, we’ll make it right — here’s how.

Eligible Returns

Returns are accepted only under the following conditions. We take every claim seriously and handle each case individually.

Damaged on Arrival

Product arrived with visible damage to the item itself — crushed packaging, broken parts, torn pages, or any physical defect caused during transit.

Item Not as Described

The product you received does not match its listing — wrong edition, incorrect volume number, different figure variant, or significant discrepancy from what was advertised.

How the Return Process Works

1

Contact Us

Reach out to Akiba HK as soon as you notice an issue with your order. Email us at hello@akibahk.com with your order number.

2

Provide Evidence

Send clear photos and/or video showing the damage or discrepancy. Include multiple angles so our team can assess the issue accurately.

3

Review & Resolution

Our team reviews your claim within 48 hours. If approved, you choose between a full refund or a replacement product (subject to availability).

Resolution Options

Once your claim is verified and approved, you choose how we make it right.

Full Refund

Receive a complete refund to your original payment method. Processed within 5–10 business days via Stripe.

Product Replacement

We ship you a replacement of the same item at no additional cost. Subject to stock availability — if unavailable, a full refund is offered instead.

Non-Eligible Returns

To maintain fair pricing and protect all collectors, the following situations are not covered by our return policy.

Change of Mind

We cannot accept returns because you changed your mind about a purchase or no longer want the item.

Ordering Error

Returns are not accepted for items ordered by mistake — please double-check your selections before checkout.

Opened Sealed Products

Figurines in blister packs, sealed collector’s editions, and factory-sealed items cannot be returned once opened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to report an issue?

Please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order. Claims submitted after this window may not be eligible for a return or refund.

What kind of evidence do I need to provide?

Clear photos showing the damage or discrepancy are required. For damaged items, include images of the packaging as well. Video evidence is helpful for issues that are hard to capture in photos (e.g. loose joints on a figurine).

How long does the review process take?

Our team reviews all claims within 48 hours of receiving your evidence. We’ll notify you by email once a decision has been made.

How will I receive my refund?

Refunds are processed to the original payment method (Stripe). Please allow 5–10 business days for the refund to appear on your statement.

What if the replacement item is out of stock?

If you chose a replacement but the item is no longer available, we’ll offer a full refund instead. We’ll always notify you before proceeding.

Do I need to return the damaged product?

In most cases, the photo/video evidence is sufficient and you won’t need to ship anything back. In rare cases, we may request the item be returned — shipping costs for verified claims are covered by Akiba HK.
