    Just wondering how much the shipping costs to Ireland and does it usually take long for the game to ship here?

    depends on what option you pick, there are 4 if I remember.

    You can choose between basic airmail, which can take 2 or 3 weeks to come from Hong Kong and you don't get a tracking number, right up to a courier like FedEx which takes a few days and you can track online.

    For either expensive or urgent items I would recommend the courier option as it is quick and you can track your item in case it gets lost

    Just bear in mind that more expensive postage options can attract more attention from customs. The rule of thumb with play asia is to only order one game at a time. Anyone that i know personally that broke this rule got caught by customs.

    I only ever order one game at a time and use the cheapest postage option. I have never had an issue with customs stopping anything yet, even when I ordered the camera which came in a bigger box. But just be prepared to wait a week longer than usual to get your games and be happy that your saving a load of cash in the process.

    Ive never used anything but the lowest shipping option, about 3 euro i think... never ordered more than one game at a time... never been caught with customs! Delivery has been getting quicker, bout a week including weekend, maybe a little longer which is quite good for the savings!
