I'm planning on buying a DS game from Play-Asia. Now my question is, is the site reliable? And if I order tonight, when would I expect my item to arrive? Since Raya hols are just around the corner.. Thanks in advance

Btw, I live in KL, Mont Kiara/Hartamas area..

Play-asia is totally reliable!
Have been making purchase from Play-asia since last year. ALL Item received (JPop Single, Album, Accessories) , was well packed with bubble wrap and those small white L shaped styrofoam.
That is to say, they package their item darn good.
Your DS Cartridge won't be the problem.
The only problem is it's delivery speed. If you were to choose the FREE Airmail delivery, expect delivery up to 1 month. If lucky, 2 weeks. Blame Post office. Always get my things a week after kastam check. Malaysia Pos Office not efficient. ==
But if you need urgent, you can always use FedEx or EMS Speedpost, with a fee of course. Most of the time the delivery itself cost as much as the item itself.
Your location won't really affect the speed of delivery, it's the service you use, and the efficiency of your local Post office.

Anyhow, Play-asia can be trusted. You have my personal guarantee.

Thanks for the reply, but will the fact that Raya is here affect the delievery speed??

Probably, if it reaches from Hong Kong to Malaysia early.
With Airmail, normally you can get within 2 weeks. That's because your item reached Malaysia from Hong Kong on the First week(Estimate) and pass kastam, and then Malaysia Post take it's sweet time for a week to send out your things.
If Raya, this might happen:
Same one week time to reach Malaysia from Hong Kong. Then after pass Kastam, Post Office also "Hari Raya", so delivery delay. Then extend until 2-3 weeks only send out.
But if you are lucky, You can get early lo.
Paid delivery(FedEx) confirm won't affect delivery time. Already said "PAID" liao ma. Their reputation on the line. At most also 2-4 days.

i've bought about 4 items from Play Asia.
1.battlefield BC
2.FF13 guidebook
3.GOW3 guidebook
4.psp accessories set

my first three transactions went smoothly.
my items arrived within a month of my purchase date.

however, my final purchase(4) never arrived.
it's been more than 2 months since i bought it, and it still has not arrived.

Play Asia had to conduct an "investigation" with the HK post office, and everything checked out fine,so it's most probably Pos Malaysia's fault.

anyway, after the 3 week investigation, Play Asia gave me a choice:

1)have them resend the package (and hold no liability if it gets lost in transit)
2)get refund in store credits

i chose option 1.
but because they wont bear the cost if it goes missing again, i also bumped up my shipping to a paid one(USD12.90,i think) and also added in a game they had on offer.

the package arrived the next day.


so if you need something quick, i'd recommend the paid option.
the free shipping may or may not arrive at your door step

but as far as PA's reputation is concerned, you've nothing to worry..they're very reliable

ps.i chose free shipping for all my items, and only had an issue with my latest purchase.
and when i received the GOW3 guidebook, the post man actually made me go and get it myself from the post office...he didnt bother coming up to my office, he just left a note
lazy prick

Just curious, what's the DS game you're looking for?

Opportunist

Pokemon Soulsilver but now im considering just buying it from a store. I want it quick and I think it will be too expensive with the paid shipping. Plus, I dont think my mum will let me buy anything online I've actually seen the game in a shop at OU but i dont know the price. anyone know the price of the game around here?

playasia is reliable but.. pos office on the other hand is not.. whn it was send across the globe like europe ot USA it took only around a week to reach.. But... Msia? it makes me weep... so... fedex is more reliable..

How long does it take if the items says digital delivery?

I can't tell exactly how long but before they introduced the digital delivery thing it took 2 days for them to send me my PSN code through email.

But as a guesstimate I would say it will take a day.

If buying goods from play asia, what is mean by kastam check?
Let's said i buy 2-3 games, then i will be charge for import tax ?
Thx

just got my move sports bundle last week. took 1 week for processing and finally arrive on my table.
while i was in malaysia, it's more faster. so you don't have to be worried over it

i bought a figure from playasia, discount like rm60.
i was like, why so cheap?

when it came everything was perfect, except the left hand sikit dislocated.

oh well, discounted item, as expected

i hate it after they revise the free shipping to minimum USD20 item

used to be USD10 then you're entitled for free shipping

Bukan USD 50 ka?

kyo if i buy games from u. can u send it to pakistan? which one is better. buy from you or buy from playasia?

PA lah. Tak haram pulak postage malaysia ke sana.
