Since Pokemon games are pretty much in Hiragana and Katakana, I can manage through with it. I'll most likely be importing, yes.

Do want to remind you folks, though, that Japanese games cost more than those released outside of the US. You can expect a good number of Hong Kong sellers on eBay selling it for close to $50 or $60. PlayAsia and Lik-Sang ftw.

1. Your Mail Man stole it for himself.

2. Some retarded Mail Truck got in an accident and your game was cracked in half.

3. Your neighbors saw the package and took it.

4. Play-Asia thought they shipped your package but they didn't.

5. It got lost at the Post Office and it's still there piled with all these other packages there on top.

6. The airplane it was on crashed and sunk deep into the ocean.

7. Your package was delivered to the wrong house and the people either kept it for themselves or forgeting to ship it back to the post office saying they gave it to the wrong house.

8. The Mail Man thought your package was crap and threw it out the window.

9. It fell out of the Mail Truck and someone sold it on eBay.

10. You have it in your house and you don't know it.


And that's all I can think of what happened to your package. Play-Asia did say rarely Air Mail take 4-5 weeks. Maybe you should email them. I feels so sorry for you. Hopefully you get it this next week or Monday. ; _ ;

Yeah, you should probably e-mail them about that. It may have gotten lost in the mail or something. :(

I'm pretty sure Play-Asia includes postal insurance on the stuff they send, though, so if it did get lost you aren't totally screwed. It sucks that you have to wait that long, though. :(

@Pikimiki: I can't say for sure, but I'd wager they ship Monday through Friday. Remember, though, Hong Kong's ahead of the US by about twelve hours or so...so right in Hong Kong it's sometime in the early AM Monday. Your game will probably ship sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Copy-pasted off Play-Asia's site...

Economy Air Bubble

Type: Airmail
Duration: 5-10 days
Tracking: No
Insured: Yes

That's the cheapest shipping that was available on Pokemon Pearl. And it is insured.

And there are only four shipping options for it, not six like you claim. Don't spread false information like that, please.

EDIT: Whoops, only three. Could've sworn there were four before. Anyway, though, they're all insured according to the site.
