"I had made a pretty big ordered from Anime Rider of about 15-20 items about a month before December of 2013. I loved it at first, great prices, fast delivery. I had even ordered season 1 and 2 of a series and they send me both 1. I messaged them that they sent one of the wrong things and they said keep it we will send you the right one and I got it. But the closer it got to the end of the things on my ordered I started to have problems. They started to take longer to send my items and took forever to respond I had to write them constantly. It to go the point I had and still have almost 2 years later 5 items they did not send me. They still have not replied and no refund. They said at first they could not send them because they were out of stock but they would let me no when they get it and its on its way, so I was patient and stupid and waited and still not a thing. "
"so don't buy from animerider.com I ordered 6 dvds on 1/23/14 I got 3 of them 1 month later and still waiting for the other 3 its now 7/30/14. I tried calling finally got ahold of someone he doesn't speak English. if there is a law suite on them I want in or I am going to try to go there in person if I do LAPD can pick me up after I get my money back! "
"Anime Rider is a scam. They fool you into thinking you are making a legitimate purchase and then they steal your money. I ordered 3 items on June 30th for $310 and received an email that my order is being processed. It is now 7/22 and I have yet to see an email saying my items shipped. All of my attempts to contact this company have failed and I doubt I will receive an refund. Take my advice, do not buy from this company!!"
"I placed an order for Christmas gifts in early December. I received one of three items with a note on the invoice stating that the rest were backordered. After waiting well beyond Christmas I attempted to contact them by mail and voice. They never responded. I asked for my money back that they so conveniently (for them) debited from my account. No response. I contacted the Federal Trade Commission and filed a complaint. No response. I called the Better Business Bureau for Los Angeles and after two months they replied that they finally contacted someone at Animerider who told them they tried to process a refund but for some reason couldn't. I again demanded a refund by check. No response. I'm calling LAPD today so see what else I can do."
"I placed an order on 12/15 and received an email that told me that my order was being processed and I would be contacted via email in 24-48 hours. The items were said to be all in stock. Today is 1/9 and I have yet to receive this promised email. I tried repeatedly to get in contact with someone from the site but the phone number always sends you to voice mail and the emails were never responded to. I spent almost $250 and the only thing I have to show for it at this point is a headache and a credit card bill. Just like wmi-doug, I would also like to work anime rider but this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth! "
"Placed an order 12/3 for a couple of xmas gifts. Monitored the website for status of the items, and they were instock and available the entire time. Now today, 1/3, I get an email from them stating the order was canceled. I send an email asking why, and it was returned as spam. I called, and got a computer which transferred me to some crazy extension # with over 12 digits. If this is the customer service, I would not place an order with them again. AR.. I'd like to do business with you, but this is NOT a good impression .. Please reply .. Thank you"
"Took three weeks or longer fir my order and not to mention there site is not secure
I ordered from them and ended up someone got my
Credit card info and charged 500 and something dollars
Thank god discover was on top of things "
"I purchase 5 anime dvds from animerider.com. I received 3 dvds yesterday and they said they will send r3st of them today without any extra shipping charge. Delivery was really fast and good customer service!! I was happy with them."
"Order18 Items from them three weeks ago. None are on back order according to there website. Sent a message to their customer service when my items will ship and no response yet. Bad customer service . Check out their facebook and you will see other people complaining they haven't gotten their order yet as well. Would hate to make a complaint to the better business beuro. They don't even have a phone number on their website to contact them. Hopefully they will contact me soon, but as for moment i would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. "
"Ordered figures and dvds online, came on time and they are in great quality. (and obviously the best price)
oh, and they included some munchines which were nice touch...
will definiteyly buy from them again.
"
"Sorry to say. I would not trust this site (Animerider.com) they are the same owner for Animeharu.com (you can Google about their ratings and learn of the amount of complaint and scam they have took upon their customers. (I am among one of them gotten scammed by Animeharu.com). They now operate this new site animerider.com. so be WARNED and STAY AWAY.
After doing some more research, I learned this guy have long list of bad raps, and history running different domain names in scamming your money. Once they are done with this one, another one will pop up.
So more research before you buy. See below for more details about them.

"I purchased three Japanese anime DVDs for my son (he did all the research). Prices were quite lower than other sites. I received the merchandise on time as they stated. Very pleased with the whole transaction."
"I ordered a set of dragon ball manga and a week later it's arrived. And I found out couple of them were missing. I was disappointed and upset. But then there were a small bag which was fulfilled with asian candies and crackers and an apology letter saying my missing books were sold out and they're on the way. Love their website layout. Easy to navigate. Price is overall cheaper than others. Everything was perfect except shipping but definitely coming back for another stuff. "
