kushalrocks Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hey! I have ordered quite a few games from PA. Best shipping method would be through FedEx or DHL but it's very expensive. I would suggest that you go with free shipping. It will take 3-4 weeks though but it's free so you will save money. Anything below 10K and is a gift, customs will not be charged. Just select the gift option and you should be good to go. They send stuff throufh Hong Kong post and it's delivered here in India via Indian Postal service. If your stuff is lost in transit then you can file a claim and there is a whole procedure with that. Sent from my Phone. Not true i have been charged customs multiple time , be it playasia or amazon, or hut .heck for 500 s game back in 2010 i was charged 250 rs customs :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otaku.u Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 it all depends on your luck whether you'll be charged customs. for play asia choose bubble wrap option less chance of getting charged with customs. economy box always got me charged with customs. also opt for registered more security in getting parcel getting delivered. regarding amazon uk rather than choosing amazon fullfiled who charge customs at check out opt for secondary sellers (like panda games) who charges only 2-3 pounds for shipping...customs again based on your luck.

Thanks will let u know how it wentGift wrap doesn't mean that it will actually be gift wrapped. It's just that they will mark the item as gift and I think remove the invoice. I have always gone for free shipping with PA but I can't seem to remember if they would allow gift wrap on the free shipping or not. I have ordered from Game.co.uk too and took the gift option and no customs was paid. Same with Amazon UK as well for Blurays which was marked as gift. I don't like paying shipping tbh.

Sent from my Q700S using Tapatalk Not sure. I use an ICICI Bank Visa Debit card and there are no international transaction charges. I would suggest call your bank customer care and find out. They will give you the best information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monokuma Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 They actually do charge for international transaction. At least HDFc does. They don't do it right away but its every 3 months or so. And its a very minimal amount... Sent from my Nexus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xubz Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Its been 25days since I ordered a few Vita accessories on PA. Does it generally take that long? I used game.co.uk for a few pre-owned/new games and it arrived in 15 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used game.co.uk for a few pre-owned/new games and it arrived in 15 days. yep it can take upto a month depending on the type of shipping. So if you've chosen standard (the cheapest one) you can expect anywhere from 14 days to 40 days. Generally 21 days is about the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
