"My experience with the purchasing of a product, the time of delivery of that product, and the helpful nature of the personel of this company was outstanding and beyond my wildest expectations. I will look forward to doing future purchases from this company with a feeling of great trust, and confidence in knowing that they do everything possible to provide the best value and service to their customers. Thank you, Play-Asia.com, and you have my strongest recommendation for a super future!

"Amazing selection and great service. I ordered from them 2 games on Sunday night and recieved them on Wednesday morning. They were in great condition as well!
I will do business with them again. Highly reccomended!"
"Play-Asia.com is the worst store in the universe! So, stay away! Their service sucks chinese panda poo!!
Their customer service answers you in broken english I mean "engrish"!
Anyhoo... They use something called creditcard verification (never heard of that before)? Witch requires you to provide them with the following details:
Front and back of your credit card. Photo-ID card (such as drivers license, passport) showing the same name & signature as the credit card... Scary, huh?
When I told them that: "I'm "NOT" a creditcard scammer! You can trust me"!! Someone from their customer service said:
"Dear sir. I'm sorry to hear that".
I mean... WTF?! "I'm sorry to hear that"? Eh... They dont u n d e r s t a n d what you're saying! Either they're stupid, or they're stupid.
And they send you automated answers! You simply cannot trust this company! I fully concur with "narutoLee". This store is horrible!!

"Excellent service and very satified with the experience. Initially, I was concerned and had questions about sending copies of my ID and credit card (I now know is common for overseas verification purposes). My questions were answered immediately and email support was excellent (thanks R).
Delivery was as promised (1wk - keeping in mind order was not shipped during the holiday rush) and the product was carefully and thoughtfully wrapped (important for not having dropped pixels)
I'm thoroughly enjoying my PSP!"
"Amazing service! I ordered my pink Nintendo DS Sunday night and it was on my doorstep Wednesday morning at 9 AM. I was very pleased with the experience and the fact I can get stuff that's not available in the US (I ordered a game and a music CD as well) at reasonable prices very quickly. I can't say I've had many domestic orders arrive so fast."
"this store is horrible! I placed an order for PSP value pack, which they claimed to be shipped within 24hrs. Then after full 5 days with no responds from them, I contacted them and waited another day to receive a reply saying 'we will not ship your order until you can verify it'. crazy! then after that it takes another 2 weeks for the verification and now almost a month the order is finally cancelled. This is totally a nightmare and don't buy from them, ever!"
"Sorry to be the dissenter, but I've thus far had a disasterous experience with this company. It's been a week since I ordered a PlayStation and three games that were all marked "Ships within 24 hours." None of them have shipped seven days later. I keep trading e-mails with them but only get form letters inserted with apologies in broken English. Also be aware that they have some strange verification procedure which required me to send copies of my driver's license and the front and back of my credit card to Hong Kong. That's more than a little worrying in these days of identity theft and fraud. So, I paid $368.80 for something that was supposed to ship in 24 hours and arrive 2-3 days later, but is now marked that it MAY ship on the 18th of August, almost 20 days later. I simply cannot trust this company.
UPDATE: I received my items on the 11th of August -- 12 days after I ordered, and about a week late. Good thing I paid for 2-day shipping or who knows when I would have gotten it. It should also be noted that Play-Asia only started responding to my e-mails after I told them I was going to post a review on ResellerRatings.com"
"My god! It's fast!
I just made my order yesterday, check my e-mail this morning said the order had been shipped, and in the afternoon I got it already. I live in Asia (not in Hong Kong), I bought from many other Hong Kong's sellers, none of them were ever this fast. Even with UPS, I didn't expect any seller to process my order so quickly, I made the order yesterday AFTERNOON, it's not even 24 hours yet when my order arrived.
Well, I must say UPS is really good, too. But, it could never be this fast if the seller take their sweet time processing the order.
My order arrived correctly and in good shape. The pricing is not cheap, but at least it's not over-priced. Shipping cost is considerably low. And I also got the $5 off coupon for the next order. Sure way to get people to buy again, isn't it. Well, at least I'm satisfied for now."
"Great company to deal with. I have used them on many occasions for PSP games and accessories which aren't yet available in the UK. Site, selection, price and shipping options are all excellent."
"this is a outstanding company,delivered on time,not 1 issue,I shipped ecomamy and they upgraded the packaging for free"
"Ordered a Gamecube component cable and a component switcher box. I opted for the most expensive shipping option ($24) and received the package in 3 days after it was shipped. From Hong Kong to Tampa, FL in 3 days. That's good time. I wouldn't hesitate to order from these guys again."
"Highly Recommended!
After looking at various online sites for a Sony PSP, I came across Play-Asia. It was the one reputable (from what I've heard) retailer which had them in stock (The others estimating a shipment in one week), and while the price was high ($449 for the system and one game - Roughly $200 more than its retail cost) it is the same amount all of the online retailers are selling it for (Supply and demand), so they werent gouging prices anymore than anyone else, they were actually cheaper than some retailers who had it listed for $499 for just the system!
Long story short, I ordered Saturday night, received a shipping confirmation on sunday, and by tuesday morning it was at my doorstep.
They were very fast, always answering my questions, easy to navigate the site, and decent shipping prices seeing as how theyre coming from hong kong (The system and 2 games cost me under $30 for UPS Express - 1 single game cost me $22 for UPS Express from a US Retailer!), and each order has a $5 coupon for a future one."
"Good pricing, a fine selection of import games, and extremely fast shipping (if a bit pricey). The order took a couple of days to process by fault of my own (I was fiddling around with the order contents), but once it shipped it arrived on my doorstep in 24 hours, with a $5-Off coupon included! Wich such fast shipping and great service I'm definitely shopping at Play-Asia for all of the Bemani games I need. A+, definite recommendation."
"I was a bit skeptical of buying from this website at first but then when I came to this page and read the ratings I thought I might as well take a chance. Well it turned out great! I recieved my game very quickly and with no hassle.
Although shipping cost is a bit high, it is worth it. I definately recomed this store for anyone who wants security and great service."
"After selling out of a very popular product, they immediately let me know so that I could choose another item. The communication was excellent & very friendly throughout. I received my order from across the globe in a timely & secure manner. All in all, a very pleasant experience. A great place for imports! :)"
