Has anyone ordered from Play-Asia recently?

I ordered Resident Evil 4 and it was shipped last Friday week, so that's 11 days waiting when I only expected 5 or 6. I'm getting a bit worried. Is the post delayed these days on international packages? It usually doesn't take this long.

It will take a week at best so hold on. The last thing I ordered from them did get lost in the post but they were very helpful and I did eventually receive a copy of my game. Turned out it was An Posts fault and not play-asia. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I've ordered a few games/DVDs from them before. I never had any problems with shipping. They're definitely speedy enough - Good site.

The problem isn't Play Asia, its An Post.

Have a read of this thread for more information.

I ordered from Play-Asia about 3 weeks ago, and they dispatched the day after. I guarantee that the envelope has been in this country for the last 2 weeks, waiting for the muppets in An Post to get off their asses and pass it on for delivery.

Seems to be the luck of the draw. I ordered a book from Play last Monday and it arrived on the Thursday!!! Seems to be a case of timing it lucky. I agree though that An Post have got really poor lately...
