Bhushan Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 you don't have to go to office to pay customs. the custom cost is added and mentioned. I've never ordered from play Asia but from amazon I do. amazon accepts debit card too. note: when ever your package arrives tell courier guy that you've paid customs on line.

Amazon mentions it where it's taking a deposit from you for custom charges. In orders where it's not mentioned and custom charges are there, then the delivery person will collect from you @blackops..In play Asia there are different delivery methods and if customs is applied then it depends on the delivery method Normal free delivery :if you are charged customs, then postman will collect it from you while delivering your game Registered post: same, since the delivery will be done by postman, he will collect it FedEx or other couriers : the courier guys will collect from you when they deliver it to you Usually if you order a single game, customs don't catch it unless you are very unlucky.

Sometimes people order 4-5games and don't get hit by customs, sometimes just one game and you are still charged.. Totally upon luck.. Playasia is good, UK sites you can try like shopto, game UK etc.. I personally go for registered post, so that at least some safety is there (postman has to get your signature) Still many people get it safely even by normal mail.. Depends on how good the postal service is in your area, if you using them for delivery.. International couriers are very good like FedEx etc, but very costly so mostly it does not make sense paying so high for delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killzone123 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Try ordering a single game, not so expensive.. And see how it goes.. You will get a idea yourself.. Don't order a high value item.. Many sites offer refund/or shipping the same thing again...but yea all that or refund takes times also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
