Deceptive Barcelona-based reseller
JRailPass are clearly paying Google for a top spot in their search results as they are one of the first hits when searching for "Japan Rail Pass" as my poor father did. The site has the tiniest, barely readable text at the top of the page that they are not the official JR site, but it is clearly their intention to dupe people into thinking they are when in reality they are a Spanish-based travel agency that take hefty "handling fees" and inflated shipping costs. Worth noting is that these "fees" are not shown until the last (payment) step. They do not mark up the price of the actual pass - they make their money with these fees (137NZD in this case and 84NZD in shipping).
JRailPass do warn if the shipping is not expected to arrive in time for the departure, so my father put the address of the hotel in Japan, but the delivery country was locked to New Zealand. Despite there being no such address in NZ, JRailPass still dispatched with UPS the passes to the non-existent clearly Japanese sounding address in NZ..
He contacted them, and to their credit they responded promptly, but charged him another $75NZD to re-send the papers to the hotel in Japan bringing the grand total to $2180NZD .. had he booked them directly from the official JR site it would have cost $1930NZD.
I tested making the same flow as he did, and while I was able to select Japan as the shipping country, I unchecked the "Send me marketing material" option and closed the tab before making a payment. To my immense surprise (not) this despicable company started sending me marketing spam from JRailPass .. and also probably not a coincidence that I started getting spam in Spanish for dodgy sites.
Of course I can't prove it but I also strongly suspect a lot of the so-called "positive" reviews of them on TrustPilot are fake, again, it wouldn't surprise me.
While they technically did deliver the pass (Note, it's not the actual passes, rather a printed document that must be exchanged for the pass), I strongly recommend people look a little longer down in the google results japanrailpass dot net for example - and avoid this company
