Why collectors choose LapinNoir.JP
Common worries for figure collectors — and how our system solves them:
- “I don’t know when or how much I’ll have to pay.”
→ With Pay Later (Installments) you freely decide the amount and timing of each payment. As long as the final payment is done before release, you are in full control. - “I fear a huge one-time charge on release day.”
→ Unlike other stores, we never force lump-sum billing on release. Payments are flexible and spread over months. - “Preorders lock up my credit card limit.”
→ Because we charge per-installment, your card is billed only for what you choose each time — your credit line stays available. - “I want to combine items and control shipping & tax timing.”
→ Unlimited Storage lets you hold items indefinitely and dispatch whenever you want. Mix in-stock and preorder items into one parcel to manage duty/VAT and shipping efficiently. - “I don’t want a storage deadline.”
→ Storage is no-limit, no expiry. You ship only when ready, aligning product cost, shipping, and tax with your cash flow.
