Was it on backorder?

You know what. I ordered on Play-Asia an artbook of "Spirited Away" for my sister for Christmas, around the 15th of December.
I took the cheapest shipping fee option (which still was fucking expensive) so it was supposed to be shipped within the 5-15 next days. So basically I had 50% chances to get the order at time for Christmas wrapping and stuff.

It has been sent on the 30th of December... <_<

If it wasn't for the fact they have a shitload of artbooks available while Yesasia doesn't, I'd make all my orders on the latter. No effin' shipping fee past a given amount of money spent on the order (which usually is fulfilled with a music CD+DVD edition), usually get a free Japan Mini of your choice with the order (got my sis' a Tare Panda keyring along with the music CD I bought her for her birthday) and moreso, they send their products in time ; the estimated time is often longer by 4 or 5 days than the actual delivery.

I pre-ordered last month a music CD which was coming out today (the 21st), it has been shipped last night at midnight, JP hour (so 4pm of the previous day at my location). I should get it by the next week. That's how online order delivery is supposed to work.

strange...i never find play-asia's slow at all. I order from them once in a while even though i choose teh cheapest chipping it arrives quite fast
