繁琐

太烦了

Easy and efficient!

Easy and efficient. Excellent communication.

Higher handling fee

The handling fee is around 3-4% of the 10% tax refund amount. After deducting the handling fee, you will only receive 6-7% of the tax refund, which is much less than other agencies that can give you 8-9% of the tax refund.
Besides, their tax refund application is more complicated than other agencies as well, which will reduce your willingness to apply for a tax refund.

差评

增加了无比多的难度 体验感很差

退税一年都不到账

退税迟迟不到账,也不提示原因

非常难用

不好用,一直下载不顺利

Complete rip-off

1.5% commission is outrageous. Will not buy again from Garmin Japan, and will ensure to avoid other retailers using this service.

非常差

太麻烦 浪费很多时间 操作很复杂

Horrible Receipt Photo Experience

I had to redo this not once, twice, but SEVEN times. Absolutely trash app. Broken and had to complete the flow on the website. Terrible app, should honestly cease to exist.

很方便

购物退税真的很方便、操作简单

굿입니다

빨라요

앱은 편리한데…

환급을 해주기가 싫은 거 같음 절차가 너무! 번거로움

Take 30% of YOUR tax back

Wouldn’t bother claiming the tax back. As a tourist you are entitled to 10% tax refund however the app takes 30% of that 10%. Shocking just leave the tax waste of time claiming it back.

Theft of data

Be careful and read the fine print. This is a third party entity that is trawling a lot of data for a small return on VAT. Protect your data. Is not worth it for the small refund - this is where they are scamming you. Many data collection disguised as convenience exist just want to write to be careful. Your personal data is worth more than the refund.

Easy refund

Of all the VAT refund programs, this app makes it so easy to recoup your funds.

Be ware of the hidden fees!!

I really hate PIE VAT as they are scamming people’s tax refund by charging twice; the 15% fee AND the transaction fee when you try to get refund to your credit cards. I will never use PIE VAT or buy anything from stores that use PIE VAT.
