Noppin: A Review

Yo ho ho!
After receiving my package from Noppin, I think it's fair to write about Noppin and their awesome service!

First thing first, what is Noppin? To cut it short, we can use Noppin to buy many things from Japan, especially the rare one since they support Yahoo Auction~ You can also use Noppin to buy many things that is not auction-ish with their Shopping Service.

Long story short, I won an auction of some NEWS goods from a 2012 concert called Utsukon, and by 13/4 Noppin shipped my package with SAL (I requested it, their main shipping method is EMS but dang EMS is too expensive).

10 days later, I received my package <-- for those who aren't sure with SAL, trust me it's awesome. I never lose my package, and their arrival is not that long either (tested Registered Airmail once, they come after a month or so. But with SAL, it's always 10 to 13 days). 10 days for much cheaper shipping cost is awesome.

And so, what's so awesome about Noppin?

• Cheap. Than the other Auction Service that I used, Noppin is much cheaper. Their service fee is fixed, and it's only 500 yen (FUCKING 500 YEN) for every auction up to 4000 yen. More than that? You can check by yourself.
• Various shipping methods. I tried another auction service once, in the Dark Ages aka when I don't have PayPal, and they only want to ship using EMS and they costs me about 10.000 yen for my super heavy package (I won the auction for 1500 yen, but the shipping costs 10.000 yen. What a life). BUT NOPPIN, you can choose your shipping method! 
• Auction storage. After paying for the item you won (14 days deadline, otherwise charged 300 yen a day. Better be fast on this), you can store your items in Noppin's storage for 60 days. So, you can ship some items together!
• No rush to pay the shipping fee. After deciding you wanted to ship your item, you will be charged with shipping fee of course. But no rush, after the fee is all fixed, you got 25+ days (I forgot okay) to pay it. So, if you're tight on money, you can still save your money before paying it (aka me, aka the life of a student). There's a countdown on the web, check it to make sure how many days you have left (sounds scary).
• Fast response, kind Customer Service. Their CS is super kind, I swear to God. My questions are super silly, but they kindly answered all of them. 

So, I'd rate them: 10/10

Yes, I have no regrets nor any complain. Noppin is awesome and I will keep using them for my fangirling needs.
