Hello everyone,
This is just a short informational post regarding the status of Good Smile Partner Shop retailers in the UK and Europe; as some of you may have noticed some large changes on the official Good Smile Company website in regards to who is a Partner Shop.
Akibashi has been a Partner Shop with Good Smile Company for over 3 years, proudly providing our customers with as much variety of Nendoroids, figmas, Pop Up Parades and many other products from the manufacturer at excellent, competitive prices; along with our very generous loyalty reward system.
Recently, Akibashi has been informed by Good Smile Company that have decided to revamp their whole Partner Shop scheme with retailers and distributors in Europe; therefore they have had to refresh their whole list of retailers and are slowly reviewing all the stores across Europe to award the stores that provide the same consistent service and selling legitimate GSC products. This has affected all retailers across the UK and Europe, and is not exclusive to Akibashi only.
As this has only just happened recently, only a couple of stores in Europe have been reinstated as a Partner Shop at the moment. Akibashi is currently awaiting the renewal of its status; and we are confident that this will be the case. Rest assured that as a store, we continue to source our products from legitimate distributors across Europe through official channels that have been checked and verified by GSC.
In the meantime, Akibashi will continue to provide you with legitimate products, quality customer service, and excellent pre order and in stock items!
Mark Stebbing
Owner of Akibashi Store
