I'm going to order some stuff but I'm not too familiar with online shopping.

Between Play-asia & Lik-sang, which is better? Do both send stuff to Malaysia shore?

Thanks

Both Play-Asia & Lik-sang send item to Malaysia.

I prefer Play-Asia. Their price are cheaper. And they offer free shipping for most of their items (IINM, Lik-Sang only offer free shipping for Games / Handhelds console). Bought from Play-Asia few times before and I like their service.

U can also check out YesAsia.

Right thanks. Play-asia is indeed cheaper. I got XMC component video cable for USD19.00 as oppose to Lik-sang's USD29.00 of the very same unit.

just wonder, when it ship to MAlaysia.
wont we got tax on it?~!

Usually if the item is under RM 500, you won't get taxed. If you kena tax, then you're very unlucky. Some forumer even managed to bring in Xbox 360 console and didn't kena tax.

havent tried lik-sang before.
play-asia and yes-asia are good...
no tax so far. *touch wood*

Play-Asia.

Lik-Sang very leceh...needs PAY PAL and won't accept credit card.

Play-Asia free delivery deliver nicely to my door step.

yaya got free coupon also


check out aki from signature

bought from P-A & YesAsia.
P-A fast & reliable. free shipping via airmail (insured). i look at the postage P-A have to pay (inclusive of insurance) on the packets & parcels, and i feel very grateful to be 'subsidized'. bonus- stickers & coupon

YesAsia is a little slower when processing their order. Some games (especially the budgetted titles) are cheaper than P-A. also free airmail shipping (i believe also insured). didn't print the postage on the packet, so dunno how much was the postage fees. bonus - 1 issue of GameWave mag

dun forget superufo too

well, i bought stuff from lik-sang before, items arrived safely... but based on the info in here, I just ordered something from play-asia... fingers x'ed! Free shipping is nice

dunno if this will help..but i used to order stuff using DHL (not video games)...DHL staff told me that for personal items that below RM2000 no tax But the only problem is kastam always simpan ur stuff lama2 especially if u using normal mail order...for inspection lah itulah inilah...... but that was like 1 year ago..so now i really dunno..

The problem is... DHL, UPS, FEDEX, all so expensive... depending on the country of origin, it could be even more expensive than paying tax... but of course it's alot faster...

It all depend on luck. I have order many2 time from play-asia only once it took more than 10 days (20 days to be exact) to receive the goods. So far no tax yet. (Well the most i order RM360.00). But i realise, if i order game, usually the package will be open and the gamebox also been rip. But no damage to the game. As for accesories. None have been open so far. Plus all this is normal shipping.

You mean the game's shrinkwrap plasic has been ripped?

He says its normal shipping. Probably the airbubble mail from PA which is free...not the DHL/Fedex kind...

Still I want to hear about the gamebox. Having it open is fine. Having it open and then have something ripped inside isn't my cup of tea.

^i think he meant the P-A delivery cardbox open/resealed.

received all my airmail bubble parcels with no problems. 1 of them went through an official Kastam inspection though. it was opened & resealed with tapes & stickers; "Dibuka Untuk Pemeriksaan" "Dibungkus Semula" "Dilepaskan" content of the parcel was not 'molested' in any way

i bought my xbox 360 premium ntsc console from dvdboxoffice via DHL. No Customs Tax - Arrived ~1 week.
not really that expensive ~rm1800.00 inclusive DHL shipping..

between yesasia and superufo, which one i better?

definately go for playasia, i've been ordering from PA so many time. tax or not tax all depend your luck. i was unlucky once, 1st time ordering 2 games from PA RM350 and Kastam tax me RM140.00 what to do? if you dont pay. your game will stuck at kastam office.

Lik-Sang R.I.P.

Lik Sang use to sell game titles slightly more expensive compared to PA.

playasia is the best ; liksang already dead...

Tak usah dikenang yang sudah meninggal...

What about our local online stores like consolegames.com.my and tsb.com.my? Are they any good? I never bought any games online before, was wondering whether it's worth the wait for the games to arrive.

CLOSED DOWN!!

I don have enough money to buy from them
but i have enough money to buy from playasia

Both of them? I was just browsing their site just now

Play Asia is definitely the preferred choice man.
Their shipping is pretty fast.

Lik Sand has been closed down i think.

I would like to which payment is most preferable when buying from Play Asia?

As for bank transfer, how does the process go?
First time on9 customer...

Most preferred method would be credit card, for me. I think for bank transfers, they will contact you with the details of Play-Asia's routing and account number, etc.

I have ordered a wireless racing wheel for XB360 from play-asia and got taxed for it. As for my other items which are mainly games, live membership and live points all arrived fast and unscathed. Only tried once using the airmail, took longer than usual but arrived untouched as well. Most of my purchases i'd rather pay the extra for FedEx shipping than use the free airmail. Reason is i dont have the patience to wait for the items arrival.

I can say PA's service is

Lik-Sang was closed by Sony long time ago... I thought this information already been told?

we should start funding to get lik sang back into court for one more trial,and to get all the money back from sony.who's with me?

If order from PlayAsia , normally how long to reach Malaysia with the free shipping service?

Normally around 7 days for me. The longest was almost 1.5 months, but that was 1 out of 5-6 attempts and the first time I bought more than 1 item.

what options of payment is there for playasia?

me noob here. don't get frustrated please.

just wanna selit here... my question is...if it says "no region protection" means that i can play it with my ps3 bought from anywhere in the world?

and also...those who had bought from PA before..normally shipping type what did u choose? air box@ air bubble?

Yup, PS3 games are region free..

u mean bank transfer?

worrr..typo lerrrr...im too lazy to correct it...

I used to choose bubble envelop. But after reading about horror stories abouut the game getting damage due to postman carelessness, switched back to box and have been using it ever since.

hey, just wondering, for the box or the bubble envelope: is the delivery like those registered mail deliveries, where someone has to sign when they receive the item? or do they just dump them in the post box without needing a signature?

They just dump in the post box without signature, like normal mail.

Anyone tried GameShop.com.sg ?
