If I order from playasia ,will I have to pay customs on the door ?

[Mr Ono]

Depends on what you order.

If it's a game or small items the no.

If it's a PS2/XBrick/Cube then likely yes and you are better off going to Yes-asia (where you definitely won't get stung).


Biggest item I have ordered from PA was my GBA Player which got through. I have a pair of Cha Cha Amigo maracas coming though - so we'll see.

[stroppa]

I have maracas coming from lik-sang, will I get stung for them? surely not, they were only like ?20 or so.

[RLench]

Customs limit is ?18 so you'll get stung if they bother to check

[bungle]

Thing, yes asia is cheaper on some stuff (mainly viewtiful Joe) than playasia. And the shipping is free. Hooray!!!

[Mr Ono]

That's the BIG question. The maracas actually look more expensive to the untrained HMC&E monkey's eye so they may charge.

I've had 2 sets from HK before and neither have been charged though.

Why will you definitely not get stung if you go thru yes asia?

Not entirely true, Mr Driller for the cube turned up for me this morning with a rather Unwelcome ?7.48 customs charge.

I recommend sending Alice in their Customer services dept an e-mail asking for the goods to be marked down as a gift or a low cost demo.

P.s. Mr Driller Was still worth the Money !

[wod]

of topic a bit but dont yesasia deliver to the uk or something a warehouse and then repack and send from the uk, so there no charges.

[Mr Ono]

First off, Yesasia ship from UK therefore - no charge.

I got a BIG boxes worth of stuff from them this morning with no problems.



Play-asia - I got my maracas this morning and got hit with a ?7.48 Customs bill ft: - the bloody thing is only worth ?12 for ****'s sake!
Can't be arsed to appeal.

Yes they did (marked "Sample" as well.)

But those ****ers at Mount Unpleasant thought it was a con trick.

Is that the global site (global.yesasia.com) or another? I ask as their price for the GB Player is pretty good.
