Hi. Has anyone bought stuffs from Play-Asia? Are they reliable compared to Amazon or other e-commerce sites? I appreciate it if anyone shares their experience on using buying stuffs from Play-Asia here.

Bought from them like 6-7 years ago. I was in Germany at that time. No issues.

Reliable site. But the unknown factor in Malaysia is our customs. If you buy media which doesn't have English name maybe can sangkut and need approval from Censorship board.

PA is fine as long as you're not purchasing Limited Edition items or you'll get ripped off. If you're planning on getting Japanese stuff, you might want to consider AmiAmi or Nippon Yasan as well.

More expensive than Amazon and AmiAmi? Also, what about their delivery times?

I see. Are there any cases of Limited Editions scam from Play-Asia?

What about buying soundtracks and music albums from CDJapan?

yes.

they use aramax which is express shipping. i bought a Bluray set shipping FOC.

original price $120USD, got it for $34. now back to $120 edi.

but Aramax is underman power, so you might have to call them up to get faster deliver.

Woah, why the sudden price hike? Our poor currency exchange rate?

I see. I will check on YesAsia. Thanks again.
