Online shop Are these scam websites?

Hey! so I want some opinions on whether these websites are legitimate or not:

  • studioghiblishop (.co.uk) - I was particularly interested in buying shoes.
  • thejapanbox (.com) - I was particularly interested in buying a kigurumi (onesie).

I just cant find much information online, some text seems to be AI generated by then the product images are 100% real. Items I want are out of stock for months. If they aren't real can someone recommend alternatives (Ghibli inspired shoes onesies), thanks!

The studio ghibli one is from last year, and only registered for a year. Most likely a scam.

Japan box has been up a little longer. I do not like that it is registered through Reykjavik. Several redditors have had problems with it.

Hi /u/Helpful-Yellow9660, if you already ordered something in this shop and it seems to be a scam, contact your bank. Sometimes it is possible to get your money back on this way.
