I don't know a lot of people on AHS who use Play-Asia, so I'm just curious about your experiences with the site, like how fast the shipping was, delivery, etc. 
For now, I will just stick with HMV and YesAsia to get J-pop CD's, but I might add Play-Asia to my list if it's good, lol. |
Play-Asia is okay. I only buy from them when they have a sale, if I have a coupon, or if I'm looking for an OS press that I can't find at YesAsia.
Their prices are usually less than YesAsia and their shipping is not too expensive: it usually costs around $3.50-5.00 USD for a single album (depending on how many discs it has) and is also pretty fast. I always go for the cheapest option (Air Mail) and usually get my items in 6-8 business days - which is about the same length of time that it takes me to get my orders from YesAsia.
My only complaints with Play-Asia are that sometimes you might get an album with a broken case (this happened to me twice), they won't cancel your order if they can't find what you want (they'll just keep on looking for it, even if it's impossible to find), and that they charge your credit card up-front even if they have to search for an item from their suppliers.
