lacking_imagination 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 I recently imported Bokuno Watashino Katamari Damashii for the PSP from yesasia.com (from japan to america)I ordered it on the 18th of december, and they had a free shipping deal going on. The game was released on the 22nd and they said I would have it by the 30th. I paypaled them their money, and on the 23rd I got an email stating that the order had been delayed and would not ship until jan. 2. I thought, "well, I didn't really preorder it very early, and I had free shipping, so I can wait". On the 24th, however, I got a shipment invoice emailed to me (as was the original ship date). Well, I ended up getting the game jan 3rd. But I believe they sold my email address to spammers, because recently my email inbox has just been flooded with japanese and chinese spam.I'd beware ordering from them unless you're using gmail or something else with great spam guards.Also, their customer service is so-so... They only responded to one of my 4 emails I sent (all on different days, and the one they responded to was about payment)They may be cheaper, but I'd say you'll have better luck with lik-sang or play-asia.Also, the game was supposed to come packaged with a custom psp case (shipped with first set) but yesasia seperated them and is selling them seperately.

bucksta 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2006 hmm. that sounds like one of those free psp things. but in this case, you get spam in your mailbox AND you get the ordered item. if its too cheap its too good. thats exactly what happened to me when i ordered a digital camera from the cheapes place there was, i just got my email spammed. but thank god i have gmail. those spam guards really are good.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 Replying to lacking_imaginationI have the same experience of getting spammed emails after buying a limited edition of PSP from Yesasia. Also the price is higher compared with http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ where I almost received prompt replies to my questions from them.-reply by Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Yesasia is always expensive compared with http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ my experience, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ provides the fastest and reliable services including enquiry, shipping and refund. http://www.playasia.com/ is also good although sometimes they didn't response when they don't have stock.-reply by Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinchillables 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 True, but YesAsia avoids you having to pay extra cost (due to them probably incorporating the stuff in), but they have free shipping and a real nice selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onscreen 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 YesAsia is specialized in k /j Drama series, Jpop / Kpop etc.. i bought those from them and have yet to encounter problem with them. If your intention to buy console games, i did suggest you to go for other online retail. I do believe YesAsia isnt aware of the phishing flaw within their security layer as like you mentioned, incoming spams increased after purchase. What i believe is this phishing methods scans for free emails and distribute it remotely to spammers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daftpunk 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 Be aware of spam and hidden cost you never know what the hidden cost might be so be careful if you have to use credit card or anything at all and good luck in getting what ever you are wanting!-Daft Punk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
