"First time shopping with Entertainment earth. I had an issue with one item from my orders. Client Representative Donald Tapia was Very Helpful. He was polite and very understanding about the issue with my order. Donald was able to fix my problem. Great customer Representative, this company is lucky to have someone to solve customers issues. I will defiantly shop at Entertainment earth again.
Thanks Donald"
"Had a fantastic customer service rep! Fixed my concern right away! Thank you! Signed Nortena!! "
"He was easy to work with and went out of his way to make my experience awesome! "
"Donnald was awesome!! Thanks!
Excelente Customer Service & products!!"
"After ordering my item, they didn't ship it out within the processing time they promised, they then couldn't cancel it even though it hadn't shipped yet and here I sit typing a negative review because my item still hasn't been shipped and I'm rolling onto a fourth day that they still haven't shipped my item. That being a business day, because if we add the weekend you would also know that they still haven't shipped my damned product or even prepared it for shipping which most companies do.
I recommend going to otakumode.com, where you can get your product cheaper, because apparently had I gone to their website i would've saved 12$, by the way it does include shipping. So, I would've paid 74$ instead of the 86$ I spent.
Their customer support promised it'd be shipped out today, which I still think is a lie, because it would've been shipped out by 10am, like they had mentioned and that I now have to wait for about 24-48 hours just 'cause apparently it takes an automated system that long to send it thought."
"First, and foremost: YOUR REP COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU.
They're basically Millennials doing a side job for discounts or college credits. They could really care less about their jobs & it shows. You can literally, hear it in their voices. They also tend to laugh at you, especially when you've got a legitimate case.
They basically charge you nearly full price. Over charge you for shipping. Send you dusty & moldy goods;
Pack your items to ONE SIDE of the box & load up the air pillows to the other, pretty much guaranteeing damage.
You'll get 50%-80% damaged goods 60% of the time, only to be told by some kid half your age: "That's how retail is". Pfft.....
They pick through the best of their own shipments then, offer THEIR retail customers "Mint Condition". Whilst schlupping their damaged goods off to their Wholesale Customers.
Brilliant, but sketchy TO THE MAX. BEWARE.
They're like a used record store: There's a specified LIMIT to how much of a refund you're going to get for damaged items.
Usually, a total of $48. No matter if your order was $100 or $1000. They completely screw you!
No matter if THEY'VE sent out your items already damaged, indicated by INNER box damage, but no OUTER box damage.
They KNOWINGLY send this stuff out to you, because they know they're not going to give anything back anyway.
And again: YOUR REP COULD CARE LESS.
So, Wholesalers Beware!
These glowing reviews are conspicuously from around their facility in California. Pretty sure some of them wrote these themselves.
The other though, are pretty accurate.
Entertainment Earth **** bad!

"I was urged to preorder from sales rep Paul Brushey in my "Orientation," but I pre-ordered items for August, and it got pushed back every month, and now it is expected to come in February. I asked to cancel and now they want to charge me 15 percent "restock" fee that is just a blatant lie they never even placed my order to the manufacturer. DO NOT BUY THEY WILL DO THE SAME TO YOU. I have been fighting with the company for weeks to not pay this charge and will update once I know more. They claim that if they never ship your item I still have to pay. I will not accept this! Do not give them your business "
"The always enthusiastic Donald Tapia ended up helping us checkout at both NYCC and SDCC 2019. Both times he was patient and inviting with us given the long wait times in line we had it was a breath of fresh air to see Donalds smile and energy. He was very knowledgeable of the company and suggested we check out the online store to order more products in the same geeky fandom we seemed to like. The entire staff at the cons Rock and work really hard to keep the crowds well. Thank you Entertainment Earth."
"Good, stuff shows up in a reasonable time frame"
"EE Distribution (their wholesale branch) is really difficult to work with. Their reps simply don't care, their website is ancient and inefficient, and their internal processes are very manual. Terrible value as well. They charge almost retail price."
"After purchasing a item from entertainment earth the item was sent to the wrong address then returned to sender, after 10+ calls to USPS and Entertainment Earth I was informed that the package was sent to an old address and I would have to pay to have it shipped again and if i decide I want a refund it would not include the shipping I had already paid. This is exactly why large corporations are destroying small internet business.

"Entertainment Earth lacks transparency, nickels-and-dimes its wholesale customers for everything, ESPECIALLY with shipping costs, has extremely poor customer service, and does not represent companies (like Hasbro, Funko, etc.), well. They will not honor refunds or exchanges for defective or damaged products (they blame both issues on USPS services (USPS is not responsible for nor the cause of manufacturer defects. Entertainment Earth Account Rep’s (Gilad E.) Response: “I tried to explain that the claims you are filing are for product issues, not shipping issues. However, management explained that we do not ship direct with USPS, so claims are never available for products shipped using this method.”), unless you upgrade to FedEx/UPS, then, I was advised, they MIGHT honor refunds or exchanges). Very deceptive practices. I highly do NOT recommend Entertainment Earth to anyone."
"Donald and other staff provide the best customer service. Ordering and picking up at Will-Call is always easy. Keep up the great work! "
"This review is for the "wholesale" part of the company. EEDistribution is not really a wholesale company, their "wholesale" prices are high and not really wholesale prices and their shipping (especially international) is ridiculously expensive. Their account reps are quick to respond to emails when you place an order but once the items turn up damaged and you try to make a claim they are slow to respond and obtuse, a 5% refund for unsellable items, what a joke. Do yourself a favour and avoid this company at all costs. If I could give a negative score I would."
"Every time I deal with them on the phone I get excellent service,dealt with Eddie today and he went above and beyond in placing the order for me. They also do free shipping which a lot of places do not. It also makes me happy to know that the people there are actual collectors themselves to.All in all entertainment earth has always done good by me and I will always continue to get from them in the future. Thank you EE."
