just finished ordering something and the site worked fine.

I noticed that their prices are higher than other sites

RNIverson · « **Reply #64 on:** Oct 06, 2006 at 04:06 PM »

i think its because of their free shipping promo. although some are really too expensive, other titles are also cheap considering its shipping included already. but still try to visit other sites to compare prices. for example buyoyo have titles with cheaper prices compared to yesasia even after adding the shipping charges. for R1 dvds, buy from amazon and the like instead. what i like about yesasia is that i've never experienced lost packages with them, or loose discs (unlike koreandvds before)

free delivery on orders of $50 up?

Noticed that DVDempire has lowered some of their FOX releases to $8.99, checked them at yesasia & found their prices higher by almost $5.

too bad, i dont have an account at DVDempire

i think this is no longer a promo. until now they still ship $25-and-up orders for free

still free shipping on orders $25 and above

I just placed my first order from yesasia.com a few minutes ago using my MyDream JCB cc - has anyone used this same card for yesasia orders? How much was the forex rate of this card - like Citibank's? Thanks

I've ordered two titles from the Yesasia website last december. I have availed of their free shipping promo of orders $25 up. According to them, it was shipped last December 11. Up until now, I have YET to received my order. Anyone else experienced this delay before? It's almost a month now. I have already contacted them regarding the issue, and they are making me wait until the 8th of this month to contact them again so they could re-ship my orders.

In everybody's experience, what may be the reason for such a delay? I have ordered online before, at Amazon and other sites, but did NOT experience such a delay.

My longest wait from Yesasia took me about a month. A few occassions around 3 weeks. Due to the holiday season, it might be a bit delay. Thre's no reason to panic now.Hopefully, you will receive your order soon.

nash929 · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 05, 2007 at 08:47 AM »

Ok

. No longer panicking. But still anxious

patring · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 07, 2007 at 02:02 AM »

it happened recently to my sister. she was supposed to receive her order around the last week of November but by mid-December she hadn't received anything so she emailed them and after a few days they sent a replacement. she got the package after 5 days, and that's including the holidays.

hemisphere · « **Reply #75 on:** Jan 07, 2007 at 08:09 AM »

They must have forgotten to ship the packages. After two recent wrong-items-sent-cases and two instances of cancellation as the products are no longer available, I gave up on Yesasia as a reliable online store.

Hope my case is isolated though.

nash929 · « **Reply #76 on:** Jan 11, 2007 at 02:58 PM »

Well, I've notified Yesasia about the missing orders. They told me, they'd re-ship my orders ASAP, but i don't think it would be in the next few weeks or months. Only if i've known Yesasia was undependable, I wouldn't have ordered from them.

I no longer think cases stated above are isolated.

Just curious, are YesAsia items delivered direct to your address (like Amazon) or do you have to pick them up at PO, regardless of amount?

you have to pick them up at your local post office

pchin · « **Reply #79 on:** Jan 25, 2007 at 10:47 PM »

In Manila area, it's the same i.e. you have to pick them up at your local post office too

gadgetguru · « **Reply #80 on:** Jan 27, 2007 at 12:38 AM »

Thanks. I am wary of picking things up at the local PO, kasi the local kupit-lector might charge arbitrary rates...

After reading the negative comments. Decided against ordering at YesAsia and tried Play-Asia instead.

Thanks to Skylynx888, Pchin, and Hemisphere (for the recommendation that The Devil Wears Prada is @$15 less at Play-Asia vis-a-vis Yesasia).

in my case, they undervalue the package's declaration only when i write a note on the comment page.

Does this work with other online merchants? Because I ordered a few items from an American site which cost around $80.00, including shipping. So I asked them about the lowering of the declared value to around 50 bucks on the comment page. It's been three days since I've placed my order now, and my items still haven't shipped, nor have I received any reply regarding my query.

Should I take the comment down?

hemisphere · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 29, 2007 at 08:34 PM »

This note is specific to Yesasia. Care to share what online store are you referring to.

coco_men182 · « **Reply #83 on:** Jan 29, 2007 at 10:01 PM »

Crap. Haha. They must think that I'm a crazy person. It's shoptna.com. So, for $80, does anyone know how many pesos the customs might charge?

frootloops · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 29, 2007 at 10:10 PM »

OT:

Can anyone please share some of their experiences with PLAY-ASIA? Will there be someone who can highly vouch for this site? TIA

hemisphere · « **Reply #85 on:** Jan 29, 2007 at 10:19 PM »

For Play-asia, you may ask Pchin. Have not ordered from the site since it's Paypal exclusive some years ago.

Depends sir. From experience, P1000.00 minimum. I suggest to ship your items via Johnny Air Cargo if the order includes DVDs only.

The bundle includes shirts too. If 1,000 is the minimum, what might the maximum be?

Oh well. It'll be worth it. Thanks for all the help!

Bought for the first time at Yesasia. The order was confirmed and after sending copies of credit card bill.

When the package arrived and it was indicated as gift with no monetary value printed. The post office/customs guy take a long hard look at it and seems uncertain whether to tax it, it was tv series, so kind of large with multiple discs. Luckily I was not taxed.

I would have preferred if the price was shown, since if I was taxed, at least that price would serves as the basis of the computation. Without price, Customs could literally charge anything, so if they charge per disc as someone had noted before, the basis (for taxes) could easily be MUCH higher than what I paid Yesasia since as a TV series, it contains five-six discs.
