Play-Asia.com; the biggest hassle?

[Dr_Jengo]

There was 1 online store which I POed one of the AC3 CEs from last year.. Can't remember which one.. (That's how many CEs I bought) which I paid via PayPal and they sent me an auto-payment invoice so my PayPal wasn't charged until release date and then my PayPal automatically paid the invoice.

I thought that was pretty cool but I wasn't expecting it. I couldn't figure out why my payment didn't go through and I mailed them to ask if my order went through. They told me not to worry and said my order has been processed.. I think it was JB Hi-Fi, the one with the Pewter figures promo..

yeah some sites do that. You pre order and then on release date you receive an automated email with a pp invoice. You pay, they confirm the order and ship the item. If you don't pay the site cancels the order automatically after X days.

This is a rather old threat but I have a question about Play-Asia.com and this seems the right place for it:

Can someone tell me their experience with the packaging of the items? Do they protect your items enough? Cause I don't want to risk buying stuff from the other side of the world without knowing how well they protect their packages..

thanks in advance

Most of items you can choose what type of packing and delivery you want.
Never had problems with my orders.

That's good to hear, thanks.

They also offer 'Neutral packaging' with no Play Asia logos on. This can sometimes help your package slip through customs unnoticed/avoid import charges.

Yes, you can dry that - it's cost only extra 0,5USD but I never used that...
