and i'm just wondering before i call them...
did anyone else from America that ordered this product get it late from playasia?
i did order the cheapest option for delivery
it says it will take 4-8 days
but it shipped on the 21st and still not here -_-

The cheapest option for delivery will take way more than 4-8 days, it would take at least a couple weeks I think. Depending on where you live. According to Play Asia's website the cheapest option takes anywhere from 5-14 days all the way to 4-5 weeks, though the latter is rare. The packages are insured but there is no tracking so there's no way to check on its current location.

But I paid a kick-in-the-teeth $20-something to ship my game. I got it a day or so after I got the shipping notice. :/

Be careful not to interpret "ships within ___ days" as "it will get to you in ___ days." It's an easy mistake to make, but if a site says it will ship in so and so days, then that usually means that they will send you the item in that time frame. How long it takes to get to you is another thing entirely. My game came while I was on vacation and we had the mail halted, but I'm guessing it took at least two weeks to get here from the time I ordered it.

In other words, don't freak out yet. It's probably normal.

If it ends up taking a month or so, I'd call them.

Yes, I would give them 3 weeks to a month. I ordered mine on the 1st, it shipped on the 4th, and I still have not gotten mine yet either. I am curious as to where their shipping faculty is...

hi i orderded grand bazaar from play asia took about 3/4 weeks in the end i emailed them and got a really polite msg to wait a few more days and then the one day i didnt check the mail it came lol so if you do contact them it maybe easier done via email, i find that when you give up waiting for it then it'll come the next day lol

If it helps at all, my game just arrived today, and I chose the cheapest shipping option. It shipped on October 4th, so from Hong Kong, China, and arrived in WA (State), USA, on the 13th. So it took 9 days of shipping, and 3 days prior to that was spent processing.
