Good company in the making
April 9, 2023

I got a few things from anime ape and it's all quite good quality, it's has odd miss stitch and the thread colour may not being a great match for the fabric but still looks really good for being made to order and "hand made". The shipping would be frustrating, if you don't read all the information they have on they website. It's really not that bad, you will get your tracking number well before it's ready to ship but about a month from ordering to receiving is not too bad. Only thing they need to work on is how they promote they'll give you a discount for 15% off your next order but it's only good for a week (I don't know too many people who don't buy everything they want in one order) or here's a $10 "gift card" but it expires in a 2 weeks ( where I'm from gift cards don't expire) but they send discount codes all the time and it's hard to change your order even 10 minutes after you ordering

Buy from them!
May 31, 2023

I have bought shirts, Shorts, Sweaters and so much more. I love this brand and I will continue to get merchandise from them. I love them so much I feel more like a family member then I do a customer.

Mediocre and backed by fake reviews
March 23, 2023

Ordered the Dale Hawaiian shirt https://animeape.com/products/chip-n-dale-button-up-hawaiian-shirt/ - The quality is mid; it seems sturdy enough but the stitching is visible on the outside and high contrast. The size, though, is the killer; all the reviews I can see say these shirts tend to run large and this is absolutely a size and a half small. I wear a 3X-4X and the 4X I ordered fits like a very small 3X. No way to leave a review on the website; I can only assume their reviews are false. Unable to return, as the shirt was washed and out of the original packaging, which is super unhelpful especially when it comes to sizing problems.

SCAM COMPANY
January 15, 2023

I ordered a queen size Goku quilt on December 31,2022. On January 5,2023 I was given a tracking number, I went usps website and checked and seen it was awaiting item so I checked all the boxes for notifications. On January 9 I got a notification from usps saying my item will arrive on January 12,2023, then January 11, I received a notification saying that my package was in final destination in Oshkosh, Wisconsin awaiting delivery that was after the post office was closed. So on January 12 I went to my post office and told them they were delivering to the wrong state. I live in New Orleans. So nice lady took my info and she was like, Oh honey they lied to you. She told me that the package only weighed 8.8 oz and that yes it was first class and only costed $3.99. Also was the fact that my name wasn't even on it. So I emailed them and sent screenshots of their website and usps's. Basically proving they give me the wrong tracking number but yet I haven't received a email or anything. It says on my account on their website that my order is complete. Bull$#*!! Their website states that it was started by 20 something year old geeks who just lost their virginity. But you look at complaints on the BBB they say they are a family company. Which is it? Anime Ape website gives a Wyoming address no phone number but if you look at the BBB it gives you a Florida address and Wyoming number which is *******273. Then you call it the damn message says, Sorry did we F@&k up your order? That's it other than here's our email address. I also found out that the Florida address is a UPS store and the Wyoming address is a company name Laurezone LLC. Found another Wyoming number on another website I haven't called it but most likely the same. Of course I filed a complaint with the BBB, but I'll see. Emailed the company and told them they should be investigated by the F.B.I. Next time I'll make sure the company is BBB Affiliated and I will do my research before hand. So as of right now I'm out of $62.30( they had a 20% off). I am going to see where this goes but please do not for all the love of the Super Saiyan God don't order from this scam site!

Anime
December 15, 2022

I love anime ape because the have such a good variety of anime clothing for my favorite anime (one piece) that I really wouldn't be able to find in stores or on Amazon. I wouldn't be surprised if I had one of every item within the next couple years

Anime ape shipped my package to the wrong address, blamed me, and then stopped responding when I asked for a refund. Hopefully my chargeback goes through

Ordered the Rengoku Cloak Coat hoodie and it's better than I could have imagined! Excellent quality with a nice inner lining that keeps me warm. Colors are vibrant and I'm getting a lot of compliments while wearing it. Ordered the size large and it fits as expected.

From the business

WE’RE A BUNCH OF GEEKS
Anime Ape was founded in 2013 by a group of geeks in their mid 20s who had recently lost their virginity. We started making shirts as a joke… But after a few of our designs went viral, we knew we had something special here. So after brainstorming over 8 redbulls and 12 rounds of Halo, we put together a genius 3 part marketing plan…

Phase 1: Design funny shirts
Phase 2:?
Phase 3: Profit

From then on, we decided to focus our energy into producing great designs and handpicking the coolest collectibles from all around the world and offer them on our website. We’re always adding new products and working hard to find new merchandise that our fans will truly appreciate. Join us, don’t take yourselves too seriously, and have a good time.
