Shipping Question.

[Radiant Hero]

I ordered a game with standard shipping from playasia.com that was apparantly shipped on the 25th of November. It is now the 9th of December and I am starting to feel worried. I have ordered from them before, but never were they this late. Is this common? Should I worry?

Christmas rush is making mail busy. It hasn't been long enough to start worrying yet IMHO since it's only been 2 weeks.

I received a parcel from them this morning, it was dispatched on the 23rd...

Is standard shipping by boat or air?

If by boat, it could be up to two months.

If by air, it could be a few weeks. Plus, Christmas holds up stuff depending on what country your are ordering from (not really a big issue in HK) or receiving stuff in (depends where you are living).

The standard method is Airmail, 2 weeks isn't unusual to me (I'm in the UK though) With Christmas on top I don't think the OP has anything to worry about, In fact watch it turn up tomorrow...

Play Asia standard shipping takes quite some time. That's one of the reasons I switched to NCSX for my importing needs; they get their release inventory within a couple days and then the domestic shipping options range from a week (ground) to a day (expensive air).

My experience is that if I order with UPS Courier airmail PlayAsia orders get here surprisingly fast (to the US), sometimes in a couple of days. If I go regular AirMail, it takes 7-10 days. But since I'm mostly buying old PC Engine games, I'm rarely in a rush.

I've had delays with them too. Always got my stuff in the end.
