I ordered a tri-wing screw driver from play-asia.com. I live in Canada, it took about 2 weeks from the time I ordered the screw driver to when I had it at my door. The price was the best I found (including shipping to Canada). Their website was easy to use, and I paid with paypal.

I recently ordered a Japanese Playstation2 and a pre-owned Limited Edition Beatmania Controller from Play Asia. Both items came quickly and very well packaged (with a complimentary Japanese Candy)! The prices on both items were very good due to a summer sale they were holding at the time. None the less, I scoured the internet and could not find a better deal on either item anywhere else!  
 
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchases at Play Asia. I would heartily suggest them to my friends!

Play-Asia is an importers friend. I recently ordered a GP2X personal entertainment player from them. I made the order on a late Friday after business hours and it shipped on monday from Hong Kong and got here on tuesday to California. the package was carefully packed and neat and they even sent me some Chinese version of Poprocks for free. I thought they had charged me twice but in reality it was an authorization, then the actual charge so the second charge was dropped, When I e-mailed them about it I got a same day response explaining to me about it. Play-Asia is a great store and I would recommend them to anyone.

I ordered Wii component cables on May 21 and received them on May 29 with the cheapest shipping to Canada. Works as advertised. Way better than paying Nintendo 3x as much.

I've ordered twice from Play-Asia now, mostly cables, and have had absolutely no troubles with them. Their shipping is fast, even when ordering with the cheapest option, i.e. just about a week or less, which is really good for the price and distance (to Canada).  
 
They have a nice selection of items, some of which are hard to find, especially for cheap prices (even compared to eBay), so that makes me appreciate their services even more.  
 
I haven't had to deal with their customer service though, so I can't comment on that.

I had a bad experience ordering a very specific item off of ebay (Super Dual Box Pro PS2 to USB controller adapter) so I turned to Play Asia to get the correct item as advertised (rather than a cheap copy).  
 
It took a bit longer than expected to process my order (about a week) but it arrived at my home in the eastern United States from Honk Kong in only 6 days! So it took around 2 weeks for a complete turn around but I got the item for an excellent price, the shipping costs were practically nothing ($3 I think) and most importantly I got the correct item and it works perfectly.  
 
I will definitely deal with Play Asia again. By importing the REAL products directly from stores located in the country where the item is made, you bypass all of the problems related to counterfeit or defective imports from third parties (which is a huge problem with Chinese-made items like this).  
 
Highly recommended, just remember to order ASAP since it may take a little while to get the item.

I ordered a psp camera from them jan. 31st and they said it shipped, still don't have it and then they charged my account again for the same order. I emailed them about the problem and they said they would take care of the second charge and then they charged me again? So I get charged three times for the same order. Since then I have had to cancel my debit card and cancel all future charges. I will never order through play asia again!  
 
I did receive my order from play asia sooner than expected and the second and third charges have fallen off. Though the unnecessary frustration of the charge process has not changed my opinion of play asia.

I ordered an adapter so that I could use my PS2 controllers on my computer. Price was good, shipping was cheap. It took a while to get here, but I guess cheap shipping from Hong Kong would take some time. Adapter works great, they have all sorts of stuff to buy.

Grat prices, however the shipping is extremely slow if you get the cheapest shipping avaliable.

Smooth first purchase of two in-stock PVC figures from this retailer. Would have preferred extra cushioning (figure boxes fit snugly inside delivery box, which would have been poor protection if box had been dented in transit; luckily not in my case), but otherwise, a perfect transaction.

Extremely pleased with this company. I've heard nothing but good things with them, so I decided to purchase In the Groove for PC from them. Needless to say, they shipped it to my house in 5 business days, which is amazing considering they are OVERSEAS. Companies in the states here can't even do that... it's pathetic.  
 
Play-Asia is the best. They include a little $5 off $50 coupon for most purchases. The company was great to deal with, everything came quickly and perfectly.

Ordered a tri-wing screwdriver ($3.99) so I could open up my Gameboy Advance. My order was processed very quickly and I received the package today (August 16, 2006). It shipped on August 10 (shipping only cost $1.30). Very quick shipping considering it came from China. Will definitely buy from them again.

Ships quick for imported goods. Quick and easy, will shop again.

amazing service!! just what i was looking for, i use ups, and in 3 days it was at my door, everything as described. thanks.

I've bought from Play-Asia several times and each experience has been excellent. They have managed to obtain rare Japanese items like the Mushihimesama and Ibara soundtrack sets, as well as offering good prices on more common import releases. They also give out random bonus goodies in their shipments, usually stickers promoting upcoming games and coupons good on your next order. The only downside is that since they are in Hong Kong, next-day shipping to anywhere outside of Asia is an impossibility, and even then expedited shipping will cost a pretty penny. Airmail is very cheap but typically takes a week or so to arrive - kind of a pain when you're waiting for that hot new release! Still, Play-Asia is an indispensible resource for anyone who regularly purchases import games.
