hello err...i such a newbie and i know nutting about on-line buying stuff. recently i saw this cool stuff and i feel like wanna buy it, the game i wanna buy is on "play-asia.com'.
but i feel soo afraid that if this web is reliable or not, i only heard people buy stuff from ebay and amazon, but i never heard people buy stuff form this 'play-asia'.com.

all i wanna know is: should i buy game from this 'play-asia'.com, is it reliable?
any expert out there, lend me a hand, gimme a answer please.

playasia is reliable no worries at all. most of us here also buying from this same website. if you are using free shipping option and your package is lost you can get replacement from them.

play-asia is probably the most reliable online-gme-shopping site. They have got loads of goods on gaming/non-gaming(music/movies) stuff.
Plus, free shipping within Malaysia is another option that brings it up to its reputation.

Anyway, beware if you're ordering from outside Malaysia, as 'Kastam' may hold your package and requesting you to claim from them with a certain cost. One of my friend faced this problem and he had to pay extra RM24 (10% tax) from ordering Gundam Musou.

Good luck

play-asia is very reputable and reliable online shopping company...
dun orry about that...
there is a threat about play-asia ordering in LYN... u can post ur question about order anything from play-asia there and many expert in this forum will be glad to help u:)

thankx you people for your help!
one more question, for instance if i saw the prize of the game is rm149.9, do i have to pay more than this prize? i mean it said 'free shipping whithin m'sia' does that mean i dun have to pay for postage money and insurans and other thing?
in short: do i have to pay more than the prize indicate on the item?

synn, i tot got ppl threating play asia....

support playasia

You will pay the listed price if you don't take the express shipping. You might pay a lil bit extra due to forex differences and CC charges. Not much though, so no worries.

Good luck bro!

i wanna know that...
we are malaysian rite, so if i wanna buy this item, it's listed rm545, and the real price is US$160, and i'm using bank-in method(via HSBC)...so what should i put in the transfer slot? US dollar or malaysian riggit?
in short, can i use rm or US dollar?

it will be in US dollar. but um.. over rm500? with shipping w/o shipping?

even after adding or w/o adding ur shipping, the castam charge will be crucial. so i suggest you to reduce ur buying to below rm450 (for safety)

i think its better to use CC, bank in will inccured some charges one, later u bank in the amount, reach there , sure not enuff one

sorry wrong spelling haha...

btw i got ask be4, i try to transfer fund from CIMB to play-asia hk HSBC account.
extra charge for RM30...

so better use CC la...

bought a nexG la...

i can also help at a incredible small fee. please check my sig for more info!

back to bussiness eh

Any others then play asia?
i like something like everything online shopper....like buy.com

i tot they dun ship international?

now maybank has promotion TT to certain countries only RM10 flat rate for any amount..before this RM30 minimum..so buying more item is always avantage..if u want avoid KASTAM, please tell PLAY-ASIA to declare ur item as A GIFT or PRESENT..otherwise if nasib tak baik,KASTAM will charge some more

a gift is still taxable

yup kastam ppl these days very clever lah... you put as gift also they still can argue and tax you in the end.

the only best way, is have the value written much lesser, tats is the safest way

lolx
but play-asia will help us?

i dun think so

normally the cons of lesser value, is tat, in any event, the package got lost, tats the only max amount u will be paid (as declared)

try renchi.com they have the option at checkout to ajust the purchase invoice to percentage of your choice or try consolegame.com.my which is local hence no need for tax~

would i get taxed if my item is over 2kg but under RM500??

yea just call DHL and FEDEX toll free number they tell me the same thing as wat you say.

yape, standard one

and i check with fedex, why custom clearance for fedex or other priority shippin so fast one?

they say, its becos, be the items are sent, the invoices and data are aredi faxed over, so they will know which to tax or which isnt. so uipon reaching, the process goes much faster, even the items are to be taxed, the shipping company will pay for u on the spot

order something from goldenshop be4 with fedex...
reach next day noon time...=.=
it's cool... only 1 day...
