Extra steps for no reason. I avoid shops that require this process like the plague. go for shops that already deduct the taxes. first time using this the lines to get the tax refund at the counter took forever. Staff at thecounters are all rude and take forever to check your stuff and it requires so much information and you need a bank account tie it to.

Hey thanks for writing a review. I just want to share some information here -- The tax deduction VAT Refund process is getting removed as apart of a VAT Refund regulation change in Japan next year, so all providers will be in the form of a "refund". Also, tourists can withdraw their VAT Refund using credit card and a number of other secure methods

I bought Skechers shoes in Sweden and requested a tax-free refund. They told me I had to download this app, but the process was complicated — they asked too many questions and did not refund the full amount they were supposed to. Everything about the refund felt suspicious. In the end, I returned the shoes to the store and uninstalled the app. I do not recommend dealing with this company.

Completely Unnecessary. All other stores do their tax rebates automatically to your card you purchased with, but this store forces you to download an app and overcomplicate the process. time waste.
