Japanese Green Tea Shops

I had been using a different review app for over 9 years. Little by little the prices increased (extra Paid features) and customer service got slower and slower. Finally, I made the dreaded decision to move to another app. Judge.me was my choice based on the huge amout of positive reviews in the Shopify App store. First I exported my reviews from my previous reviews app, uninstalled it and removed the sections from my store. Then I downloaded and installed Judge.me. It was very easy to import my reviews into the Judge.me app. After that I explored the various settions and adjusted the colors and styles to my liking. (The widgets are very simple to adjust). The whole process took less than an hour or so. Finally, I explored every little detail about the app and how it looked in my store on Large screens, tablets and on smart phone screens. Out of the box the app performed flawlessly. I did find that my previuos app was somehow still showing review "stars" on my collection pages. (I had asked for that customizatioin - it was why it remained after the uninstall). I also had a problem with when tapping the "stars" under the Product name it didn't work the way I wanted... I wanted my "REVIEWS" tab to automatically open. I reached out for help to solve these two issues. My request was answered in minutes. (Needless to say I was impressed). Andrew said he would be helping me. Indeed it was true. Andrew removed the old leftover code and replaced the stars on my Collection pages with the stars from my (imported) Judge.me reviews. Now, when a customer taps the review "stars" under the Product name it automatically opens my REVIEWS tab, just exactly as I wanted. This was all accomplished the same day I installed the Judge.me app. I spent the next day exporing all the features and options that the Judge.me app offers. A large selection of easy to install widgets, many customization features, auto publishing to my SNS pages, easy to understand flow (and adjustment) of review requests sent to customers and (very important to me) Google rich snippets & Google MyBusiness, Google Shopping. (These were extra paid options on my previous review app). Finally, the pricing is simple. Just 2 plans. FREE and Awesome for just $15. (about half of what I was previously paying). As a long time store owner (I did receive the 10,000 orders Shopify award - working on my million) I know the importance of a good reviews app so of course I chose the Awesome plan from the get go. I can only say that I'm very disappointed that I waited so long to make the change. I highly recommend this app and praise the customer support. Well done! I'm looking forward to growing my business together.

Although my theme has built in Mega Menu, I prefer this app. It is much more user friendly and it works with my main, mobile and mobile toolbar. The menu is absolutely beautiful. This required very little work on my part. I’ve been using this app for quite some time with absolutely no problems. I recently upgraded my theme to Shopify 2.0 and of course reinstalled it on my new theme (which Also came with a sluggish and complicated Mega Menu). I had a small problem with my main menu font size (my theme is a custom theme) as the app is designed to use your theme settings so it will look great right out of the box. However, my theme being slightly different than most, the app didn’t copy my font size. Calin and Anca fixed this problem for me in no time. Once again my store is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for the wonderful and detailed review! We’re incredibly happy to hear that the app has been a better fit for your store than the built-in Mega Menu options. We truly appreciate your continued trust over time, especially after upgrading to Shopify 2.0. Since custom themes can sometimes require a few adjustments, we’re glad Calin and Anca were able to quickly resolve the font size issue and get everything looking exactly the way you wanted. Thank you again for your support and for being a long-time user of the app.

App works as described to easily add shipping rates from Japan using actual shipping rates from JP Post. Useful option of excluding certain countries if you do not want to provide some or all of the services to those selected countries. Updated as shipping service service becomes available to countries which have restrictions in place due to the coronavirus situation. Pros: * Saves hours inputting shipping rates manually. * Automatically updates for countries which have restrictions due to coronavirus situation. *Can "block" one or all of the shipping options to countries you do not want to provide service to. Can set different weights for different sized boxes. Cons: *Have to monitor JP Post website to see when countries lift restrictions (due to coronavirus) and shipping resumes, as they are automatically added to your available shipping options without any notice from "Easy Rates". NOTE: Asked developer if "Easy Rates Japan Post" users could be notified (by newsletter or email) when countries (with restrictions due to coronavirus could resume shipping) were "automatically" added to the list of countries where customers could place orders. (over a year has passed, no progress) *While you can add a shipping rate such as "free shipping", you can NOT control which countries will be offered the rate. (You can probably do this by creating custom shipping rates in shopify settings, but would be a very useful option to be able to do it right in the App). * Customer service: A bit slow to respond, doesn't work on weekends. (When you have a store and need help, it isn't easy just to close your store for the weekend until customer service responds. Support should be as much a priority as creating useful app which store owners depend on). My review of four stars is mostly due to lack of App customization and slow customer service.

I've tried several "geo blockers" and while all of them work, most of them are very easy to bypass. The "Unicorn Geo-Blocker" has done a very good job of blocking countries. It's a very simple APP to install. After installation just "type the message" you would like users in "blocked" countries to see, select the countries you want to "block" and then click the button to "enable"... That simple. PROS: Very simple to install and set up. Ability to customize the "message" blocked countries will see. Easy to "enable" or "disable" with the click of a button. APP doesn't slow down your page or "wait for verification" before displaying your page to your customers in "unblocked" countries. Excellent support from developer. CONS: None FINAL NOTE: After I installed the geo-blocker, the only thing I didn't like was the phrase "BLOCKED" "this store is not available in your country. I wanted something a little softer sounding like "Sorry... this store is not available in your country", or "Sorry, we do not have shipping options to your country". I asked the developer if they could change the text for me...and within a day the option to add custom text was added! 5 stars for APP performance and excellent support from Darryn.

This APP creates a beautiful Instagram feed which can be placed exactly where you want it on your Store. The customization features are easy to use and look absolutely fantastic. I had a little trouble with the APP conflicting with my installed " awesome fonts", but a quick email and everything was fixed right away. Nice work to the developers and the support team!!

I was searching for a simple App to allow me to add a minimum order value to prevent customers from being able to checkout with very small orders (since many of my products are under $3.00). After trying just about every App in the App store I finally came across "Minicart - Min Max order limits". The app was very easy to install and setup. Customization was simple to get it to look like it was part of my original theme. I did run into a small problem with my custom theme (which displays dynamic checkout buttons in my Minicart), but Tommy was on it right away and fixed to issue very quickly. After a few days of experimenting with the various settings and customizations, I decided I wanted to add a back ground image to the "popup". Again, Tommy was on it within hours and provided me with a small bit of custom CSS code which was very easy to insert in the "Custom CSS" block which is built into the App customization feature. Perfect! If you are looking to set a minimum order value (apparently many more options which I haven't needed to try) then this App will solve your problem. It has been performing exactly as I wanted. It also provides a very smooth eye pleasing experience for my customers.

If you are printing labels by hand, then you sure will appreciate how useful this app is. You also might be aware that in the near future (January 2021), all shipments from Japan via Japan Post (specifically to the United States) will have to be "printed". In principle "hand written labels" to the US will not be accepted by JP Post, as parcels with handwritten labels may be delayed or returned by US Customs. It will become necessary to use the JP Post "International Mail My-Page Service". (I've already tried using this service and soon realized how cumbersome and time consuming printing even one label is). If you want to make shipping from Japan simple and easy, then this app is a must for your store. The App is very easy to install. No coding is necessary, just install and you'll be able to print labels with ease in minutes. Pros: Simple to install. Very easy to print labels. Automatically prints Customs forms and Invoices when necessary. Saves a huge amount of time processing orders. Cons: You will need to keep lots of ink available for your printer. Customer service: When sending an email request for "service", no "acknowledgement of receipt" and mediocre response time. A bit pricy as even the cheapest (lite plan - just 100 labels a month) costs $14.90.

This app does exactly as it says. Customer service did the installation for me within 2 hours of me downloading the app. They were also very quick to resolve issues I had with my custom theme. Angelika and Vitali were especially helpful and friendly.

I have a custom theme which also includes a "back in stock notification". I thought it was working perfectly, but later realized that almost all of my notifications were going "unread" (and mostly winding up in my customer's junk/spam folders). Not much point in sending notifications if customers don't see them. I tried just about every "back in stock" notification available but none of them worked well enough for my strict standards. Finally I gave this app a try. "Out of the box" it worked flawlessly. (Most of all customers were actually receiving my notifications). I did a lot of testing for this app to make sure it was perfect for me. Well before my trial period was up I had already decided that this app will be part of my store permanently. I had a little trouble getting it to look just the way I wanted, but the customer support I received from James was fast and very professional. Their support worked with me tirelessly and eagerly until I got it PERFECT. It looks like it was made just for my custom theme. (If you want to see what it looks like in a real store have a look here: https://japanesegreenteashops.com/collections/blendy-stick-coffee/products/agf-blendy-aroma-blend-elegant-rich-instant-coffee-24-sticks-48-grams). I have over 300 products in my store and I manage everything myself. Since my products are "perishable", I have to keep a small inventory so that I can provide the freshest products with the longest expiration dates. Even though I restock almost daily, I was still missing sales because of even one day that and item was out of stock. This app solved my problem. I saw sales from the first day I used it. The "dashboard" is also very useful. I can see which customers are after which items, this really helps me set my limits for inventory. The price is competitive, especially if you consider "you get what you pay for". This app performs very well, customers actually receive the notifications, support is outstanding and it can be customized to fit your theme perfectly. I give five stars without hesitation.

I was having a very hard time getting a font that would look good in my store, and alignment was a nightmare with the stock fonts I had to choose from. This app (the free plan!) helped me get everything looking perfect! The support I received was fast, professional and courteous. A small drawback is that you have to upgrade to install a custom font, but that wasn't a problem for me at all. I've used many of the "Nitro" apps and I'm always very happy with the results and customer service. Highly recommended!

Something needs to be done to keep using my Mailchimp services. I installed this app and everything went well. It only took a few minutes to sync my shop. I "signed up for our newsletter" to test and everything worked as supposed to. There is one problem though, I'm not able to access the app from my store, I have to go to the App store where I tap "install" and then I can see my data. Update: I'm able to access the app directly from my shopify store on my computer, but on mobile (iphone) via the "Shopify app" I get a message "Cannot Authenticate - Please Try Again" Update 2: New subscribers to my store are being added to my list. Everything seems to work perfect. There’s really no need for me to access the app because everything is being done just like before in the back ground. I want to thank you for providing a work around. Especially for free. Shop owners, like me....don’t worry!
