Samurai Buyer is an online shop that sells Japanese goods. It rose to popularity when popular Youtubers such as idubbbz, AkiDearest, LostPause, JadenAnimations, Sharla in Japan, and other popular youtubers featured the company through unboxing videos. It also became quite popular because of the “Engrish” the owner, Misaki, used to communicate with those promoting the company.
Recently, Twitter user @merryweatherey wrote about their experience with the company, and exposed the unethical practices Misaki was promoting within the company. They also talked about how they were unprofessionally fired, and are now being slandered by Misaki.
People have spoken out about goods they ordered being damaged or incomplete upon arrival. Merryweatherey also exposed that the company charges absurd amounts of money in shipping prices after the item is ordered and upon cancellation, only refunds the shipping money. Consequently, the cancelled item is added to Misaki’s “Meme boxes.” People on twitter have also voiced that Misaki is bad at communicating with sponsors and customers, and will not respond for months.
