I've ordered from Nin-Nin a bit in the past and haven't had any problems with them (not saying that it's impossible that they'd rip someone off, but I haven't personally had that experience). Nin-nin is usually who I buy from if I want something that was exclusively on some Japanese game company's webstore (and thus wouldn't be shipped to the US).
I have zero experience with them myself. But when their price for the normal collection came up a few bucks cheaper than Play-Asia's the other day, I searched their name because I wasn't familiar with them. Anecdotes of people encountering hostile customer service and unfulfilled orders came up.
Well, I successfully purchased the Capcom e-store versions of Onimusha (Switch) and Okami (Switch), Space Invaders Invincible Edition DX (Switch), ESP.ra.de Limited Edition (Switch), and the Gorgeous Dream Edition of Dragon Quest XI (Switch) from them (maybe some other stuff too that I'm forgetting). I'll let you folks know if I wind up getting the Aleste Game Gear DX Edition from them. If I don't, I will undertake the simple task of filing a claim with PayPal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Granted, if you're in the US and want the Aleste Game Gear edition for the Switch, I'm not sure what other option would even be available to you at this point. Even at a $360+ price point, Play-Asia sold out, I don't know that ncsx.com even gets new games anymore, and ShopTo.net doesn't seem to even be carrying this (though I think they're mostly for EU imports).
