    I ordered something from Play-Asia about 2 weeks ago and am still waiting for it. Is this normal?? Just want to make sure and be re-assured this is normal. I'm in Saint Paul, MN by the way.

    Surface, 1-3 months.

    Standard Air, probably 2-4 weeks.

    EMS, I dunno, 5-7 days? Maybe quicker?

    Which method did you choose?

    Well if you choose the baisic one, it should arive within a week or 2 at most, it all depends on where you live i guess, i orded the japanese version of sonic mega collection from them and got it within a week, then again i live in san diego which is next to the ocean, so i say wait another week or so, however if you did choose airmail like i did, you are not covered or insured if it gets lost in the mail, though in your sitaution im sure it will come it just takes time to get it.

    I live in Hawaii and anything takes forever and a day. 2 weeks minimum. They must be shipping to the mainland first.

    I order off play-asia for normal air and it usually take around 5-7 days to deliver here in Down Under... though the last order from lik-sang took 12 days to deliver via normal air...

    I checked the email again when they said they shipped it, and it was dated September 2 and the method was Air Economy Bubble. So is this still normal to be waiting at this time??

    economy air generally refers to 3-6 weeks delivery window so I'd say you will need to wait till late Septemer - early October... (This is according to our AusPost)

    I ordered from them a few times. I can't remember the exact means of shipping but on average it took about 2 weeks for me to receive my items.

    Was everything you ordered in stock? I'm not sure but they may delay or offer to delay your order until it is completely filled.

    I just got it a while ago. I guess it took 3 weeks to the day that they shipped it.

    I thought Pay Asia's shipping times were a joke ! From Hong Kong to Japan should take no longer than a few days but it took them 2 weeks to send me something. Back when Lik-sang were really good I would get stuff from them in about a week or less.
