Just gave my first order and there’s nothing really to complain about. The packaging was great and everything arrived safely. Will be purchasing from here again!
I’m currently master setting battle partners and I bought a booster box to help . The package came fast and nothing was damaged. Definitely buying from them again!!
I’m always skeptical of online pokemon buying but I saw about Mankey business on Instagram and decided it give it a try with some packs. The shipped fast and came packaged great! Very fun to open. Then I got a booster box and even though it took a while it still made good time and came with a discount for the inconvenience of being later. Got amazing hits too (in picture) I’ve ordered more already. Definitely a hidden gem and a great website with fair prices!
I got the Korean paradise dragon booster box, snow hazard booster box and the Japanese cyber judge booster pack. I am honestly really happy with what I got every thing came on time and was in great condition. I got like a a lot of hits the Korean ones are not worth anything but I don’t really care about that honestly. And I feel for everything I got it was good price.
For a company shipping from the east cost and being home built cards still get to the west coast within a couple days for this price and story you just can’t beat it anywhere

I'm so glad I took a chance and ordered from this shop! Not only was the price amazing but everything from the communication and packaging was great! Also, it doesnt help that I pulled one of the biggest chases from the boxes that were sent to me 😆 Thank you so much!
10000% recommend this store and I will be ordering from you guys again!
I must have sent you the box that I was supposed to open becasue it had almost all of my chase cards!
Thanks for giving us a shot, thanks for the kind words, and thanks for sharing your pulls!
Item exactly as described and fast shipping. Will purchase from again !
I ordered a booster box and two singles, one of which was unfortunately canceled before it was shipped out. However, the owner gave me a free japanese pack as compensation on top of a full refund for the single that got canceled 😊.
Also, the rest of my order arrived in perfect condition in about 6 days. Definitely a very considerate and trustworthy business!!!
Placed my first order a few weeks back and was very pleased to see how carefully and individually packaged each booster box was. There was even a personalized note inside. Was very satisfied with that experience that I had to place another order, which literally arrived within 4 days. Will continue to purchase and hope more things are in stock (they sell out quick so gotta get on it faster!)
This is business I believe in. It's something that is helping the collector community. With rising prices and harsh supply this company is working to help people. With more than fair prices, great ship times, safe packaging, and a great overall message. I would recommend this business to many people! Thank you for keeping the integrity of the hobby alive.
Amazing quality and shipping time! Love this store and have purchased many times! PULLED THE ZEKROM from a booster box I bought! Trustworthy shop!
The boxes were very fairly priced, shipping was very prompt, and everything way packaged super well- the boxes were wrapped in bubble wrap, then a thick brown paper and a sticker held the paper together. They were also put in to a well fitting box so they didn't rattle around in transit. I also got fantastic hits from my boxes (Umbreon EX from terastal and the eevee full illustration from Vol 2!) so they are definitely worth, and trustworthy! Would 100% get cards from them again (:
This was cool, the pricing is great and the packaging and speed it was received in was awesome. I got 10 packs and unfortunately no hits, may have just been the way the dice rolled but left me skeptical on buying loose packs again.
Thank you for your order and for taking the time to leave feedback! I want to address your comment about being skeptical of the results, since transparency has always been at the heart of Mankey Business.
Assuming the name you used to leave the review matches the name on your order, you picked up 13 packs spread across 10 different Japanese sets. Most of those were single packs, with just a couple of sets at two packs each. With Japanese product, the “guaranteed hits” people talk about are structured at the box level, not the pack level. For example, sets like Triplet Beat are guaranteed to contain 1 Secret Rare (SR) or higher and 3 Art Rares (ARs) per booster box (30 packs). That means your odds of hitting one of those higher-rarity cards in just 1–2 random packs is statistically very low — in fact, not hitting anything beyond holos is actually the most likely outcome in a sample that small.
I want to be very clear: I never weigh, scan, or manipulate packs. Every loose pack sold through Mankey Business comes straight from factory-sealed boxes and is handled with integrity. What you experienced is simply the natural variance that comes with buying loose packs instead of full boxes.
I absolutely understand the disappointment when luck doesn’t swing your way — it’s part of the highs and lows of ripping packs. But I hope this explanation helps clear up why your results turned out the way they did. And I do appreciate you recognizing our pricing, packaging, and shipping speed — I put a lot of care into every order.
Thanks again for supporting Mankey Business. Here’s hoping your next rip brings the hits you’re chasing!
—Stuart, Mankey Business
Pulled some cool hits from my build your own bundle, love what the store is doing, it gives me a chance to finally grab some product instead of fighting for it…..hope the business continues to grow
Heard that this was run by a critical care nurse and had to check it out. I am an ER PA and was having an awful time finding product before scalpers and have been super impressed with Mankey Business so far! Came with a few days and had packaged well! Love to get my hands on some Vstar Universe ( my favorite set)! Thanks so much and will definitely order more!
I stumbled across the Mankey Business site and was intrigued one because of product and two because we love Mankey too. Our last name is Manko and when I ordered and communicated with Stuart he was kind enough to create two custom boosters for my son's 9th birthday. Well he got them this past week and was so excited and loved the custom packs! All the products we have purchased have arrived quickly and as described. Great Shop, Great Customer Service, and Great Goals to help the collector and card lover! Keep it up!

Eric, this absolutely made my day. I’m so glad your son loved the custom boosters—and the Manko/Mankey connection is legendary It means a lot that you took the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Thank you for the kind words, the support, and for being part of what we’re building here. Hope your son had an amazing 9th birthday!
I found Mankey business from several Tiktok pack-rippers and decided to give them a try. Blown away by the way they run this store and the affordable prices for these packs. I bought a small order first time and immediately reordered some more full boxes again a week or so later. Love buying from here especially for Japanese pokemon packs. Stuart was so nice to reach out to me to help reduce my $ spent on the taxes and shopify fees. Great communication on back ordering and shipping infos. The items are legit/real. All booster boxes are seal and even without shrink wrap they are untampered with. They spend a good effort and time to protect these boxes during shipping so kuddos to them. Will definitely do business again when I can afford to splurge some more~
Thank you so much for the kind words—it truly means a lot. I put my heart into making Mankey Business a place collectors can trust, so hearing this made my day. I’m so glad you’ve had a great experience, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. Can’t wait to pack up your next order when it’s time to splurge again! 😊
I just received my first order from here and first of all, how quickly it arrived after ordering was an amazing start! With the drought of English packs being so difficult to find in store being able to open some new (and older!) sets in Japanese, especially for the art and quality, was so much fun!
So glad to hear your first order was a great experience! I know how tough it can be to find product right now, so it means a lot to be able to help bring that excitement back—especially with those gorgeous Japanese cards. Thanks so much for the support! 🙏🔥
Stuart is doing really amazing things for the community!!! I was able to pick up a booster box of Battle Partners for a verrrrrry fair price! The lowest I could find on the internet. Not only did it come quickly, but it was packaged great, and he also threw in a pack of perfect fit sleeves for all the HITS!!. Thank you very much! I look forward to doing more business with you in the future! (Actually, I already have. I'm late on this review. Both experiences were great!!!). Thanks dude!
Mankey Business replaced an order for me when it was stolen while in transit at no cost to me even though he didn't have to. He's amazing! Packaging is always excellent and products always arrive in perfect condition. Thank you so much and know you have a customer for life in me!
Great communication, awesome pricing and hit the jackpot with the pulls. Appreciate it and we will be repeat customers!
I don't write reviews for businesses often, and especially not for Pokemon cards. Recently so many small card shops have cashed in their morals and audiences to chase hype and a quick buck. I can't blame them, really, but I've chosen to only do business with shops that see something beyond the currently moment, and that's why I'm tying this all up.
When shops keep prices low and keep the hobby alive during these gold rushes, it's important to remember them when this all inevitably goes back to normal and shops that chased a dollar try to pretend like nothing happened. Mankey Business is the shop I'll keep using, even when the cushy times for shops end, because they were principled when it was easy not to be.
They ship fast, package securely, etc. etc. all the things you want out of a shop. When something was delayed, I heard about it early and often, with a discount code to make it right. My boxes had all the hits they should have had, and there were a few extras thrown in like the good old days. This isn't too good to be true, it's just how things should be, and I hope you join me in supporting good people and good businesses like this one.
