I have a few questions for anyone who bought the Ep3 trial through play-asia.com and lives in US. Now I dont know if this is the appropriate board to put this is but... anyway here goes

1. Play-asia is in Hong Kong, thus did you have to pay any customs on the package?

2. Did the shipping take a long time? Friends tell me it takes along time to ship from Hong Kong.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I ordered from Play-Asia, and...

1. No, at least I didn't. They marked the package as "sample." Hehe

2. They have several shipping methods, which tell you about how long it takes. They range from 7-15 day shipping for about $5, all the way to 2-3 day shipping for $23.

I took the 7-15 day shipping, got it in 9 days.

Mine took almost 4 days for it to ship out...

Its still in the mail today. I chose the default, first option, for $5.00 which should take 5-15 days. I'm on my 3rd or 4th day now.

Really, I ordered mine on a sunday, shipped the next day (Monday).
Maybe they're busy.

Just remember, the server is only up till September 16th...

I ordered mine with the 3-5 day shipping and got it the next day (I dunno how 3-5 days translates to overnight, but I'm not complaining).

Well I ordered mine today, i chose the most expensive one, the UPS one, 21$... but oh well I dont mind, I wanted to get a shipping option with order tracking, and the other ones just said that there was either no order tracking or limited, which confused me plus, I guess i would like it asap, since the trial is liminited time.

Does anyone know how that voucher will work for the free final version, will it be like a coupon code option?

Thanks for all the replys guys

Yea, they send you an email explaining how it works. It's just a code that takes off that amount from the price of the game.

1. The dumbasses put the full value on the package for me so I had to pay the equivalent of $40 when it arrived at my house.

2. Shipping only took three days from HK to UK, but because there was a charge it took a day longer.

I was really pissed at Play-Asia for putting the full value on the box...they should know better being an import game company. Anyway they apologised and said they would put $0 when they finally ship the full version.


EDIT, I choose the EMS shipping option...pretty cool as you can track it.
