INTRO: After more than a dozen FYD nPA orders, and at least 7 different template changes, FYD finally has a top quality nPA ID. I've seen FYD slowly improving their nPA every 1-2 months since I began ordering from them in 2018. I have a picture showing the 4 most distinct changes that they have made, with the newest version in the top right corner.
COST: 10/10 - They are currently running a "50off" coupon. This combined with the free duplicates and group discounts makes them one of the most affordable IDs around at $25/ID. The only other two vendors that I know of which have similar prices are noblefakes ($25/ID with free dupes, but as low as $20 with a large enough group) and 21done reseller ($20 for first ID, $12 dupes). FYD also has a reseller program, but it seems outdated. They offer IDs for $35 and slightly quicker shipping once you become a registered reseller, but I don't see any reason to choose this option over the $25/ID option available to anybody with a group of 4-6+ people.
COMMUNICATION: 7/10 - I will be honest and say that I haven't spoken to their support in at least 6 months, so I don't know what their responses times/CS is like right now. Their CS was always rather "meh" when I had an issue, but I haven't had a reason to contact them in any of recent orders so it does not concern me.
SHIPPING: 7/10 - Exactly what you would expect from a big foreign vendor. Every order I've ever placed has arrived in 25-35 days, with the one exception of this last one which I placed during CNY, which took a little over 40 days.
STEALTH: 10/10 - I have never had an order seized.
TEMPLATE: 10/10 - I don't have an nPA o21 physical to compare this to, but I compared this to an older nPA u21 and was overall impressed with the colors, placement and fonts of everything. Some of their past versions have struggled in these categories so I'm glad to see that they've corrected the issues. The new material also feels much more realistic and substantial. They have also now added the "Real ID" star to their IDs. I don't know if this changes depending on issue date, but I would assume that they do not.
SIGNATURE: 10/10 - Signatures have always been correctly sized and placed. It's up to you to provide a decent signature, so you can't blame them when your signature drawn with a crayon on a piece of looseleaf doesn't come out well.
HOLOS: No noticeable issues compared to the u21. Since I'm comparing a vertical ID to a hoizonatal ID, I can't comment on the placement of the holos, just their appearence.
PHOTOSHOP: 10/10 - Photoshop looks great.
SCANNING: 7/10 - I haven't heard any complaints yet with this batch, but some of FYD IDs I've ordered in the past have had trouble scanning at places with high end scanners.
PICS: https://ibb.co/wMr92BV
Original FYD nPA: Bottom right, I believe that this is the very first nPA that they made. Colors were awful, fonts were completely wrong, ID felt paper thin, and holos were way too bolded compared to the real ID.
Last model with the old material: Top right,This ID had fixed most of the issues with the colors and fonts that their original nPA had. ID still felt thin and flimsy, but looked much better compared to the original
First version with new material: Bottom left, this ID was the first that came with their new material. Colors were faded and the entire ID was tinted yellow.
NEWEST VERSION: Top left, this is the ID which I am reviewing.
CONCLUSION: 9/10 - Overall I would highly recommend FYD and their nPA. I don't see anyone having issues with this ID assuming that you have a good picture and attitude. Prices are great, and they offer good IDs for a variety of states.
