Tried to buy various snacks, they sent me an email requiring me to send them a picture of my ID and credit card, only showing my name on the credit card. Super inconvenient.

Tried to use a gift card and still required a payment method. Afterwards, sent an email notifying me to verify my identity by sending a picture of my ID or credit card via EMAIL. Their engineers really need to pull it together because this is a super simple feature for them to be messing up on. If you receive the same message, please do not send them your id or credit card for so many reasons.

I received my items on time, in good shape and they were good quality as well. I used PayPal to pay and it was easy. Yes the shipping time is long, but it tells you that before you buy, so you don't have to order from them if you aren't comfortable waiting. For me, getting such quality items at a great price was worth a little patience.

Fast shipping, products nicely packed in box, good price and variety. Snacks, body care, skincare, kitchen ware from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan.

Ordered twice, worked fine. Then started asking picture of ID and credit card on the next order. (can be masked other than names and last four digits). Switched to paypal, still asking the same thing. This is a bad practice. Find a better way to do the fraud protection.

Both myself and my friend tried to order. We were told our credit card orders were denied. This has NEVER happened to either one of us. These morons then requested photo's of our drivers license and credit card for verification! Who does this? I think this is a total SCAM for your info. Read other reviews...this is a very problematic company. RUN THE OTHER WAY!

I placed my first order on Yamibuy on 8/11 and finally received the box today (8/26), the shipping time was definitely toooooo long, though it did come all the way from California to the East Coast. The shipping label was created 2 days after my placement, and there was no update until another 5 days later when it was finally picked up by Fedex. :/ ( I’d thought the package was lost.) The entire shipment process was soooooo long that I would think twice before placing my order again. However, I’d have to give them a lot of credit for bubble wrapping all the drinks+glass bottles very nicely, and organizing the box immaculately with air packet on the side. So luckily there was no spillage or cracks despite my order containing quite a number of glass bottles traveling across the entire country. I guess Fedex also handled it well as per the “Fragile” label on the box so the box arrived in pretty much pristine condition! Pros: well packaged, easy to order, coupon for first order, price is comparable to local Asian grocery market, also no sales tax for my state. Con: expect at least 2 weeks of shipping if you live on the East Coast :/

I ordered it two weeks ago but never received my package. Called CS, the lady said they will refund. But what's the point for me to shop then? Yamibuy is indeed a joke...
