I ordered from play-asia. I don't think it was worth almost $20 to get it faster, except for my own selfish reasons. Tomorrow is my 8th day and I'm hoping it'll come. I've seen so many people get it there so that's what I chose.

A lot of people on this forum recommended Play-Asia, and I ordered mine from there. (Shipped on the 31st, haven't checked my mail cause I know its not here yet) Some people have also ordered from yesasia.

From what I've read in this thread, most people who ordered from Play-Asia got it on the 8th, 9th, or 10th day.

Waiting for 35 days is highly unusual, though the site does say the air mail can take 4-5 weeks in rare cases. I'd suggest e-mailing Play-Asia if it takes that long, find some way to confirm that it didn't get lost in the mail or something.

I ordered with Play-asia, and my order came just fine O-o' I got the second cheapest shipping though, because I've had problems getting things in just bubble wrap before(took about TWO months from something I ordered frmo France to get here, yet it took only a week from England before D: So yeah...)

It's not normal to wait over a month, which is why you should probably contact play-asia D: Mine took 8 days to get here, a little faster than the usual stuff I get from Hong Kong. I live in NJ too, so yeah. It's insured, so I'm sure it's better to e-mail them about it *nod*

mine is still on time, i'm just saying for some ppl who've waited for a month, mine's only been 4 days coming so it shouldn't be here yet. i just hope it doesn't get lost or something on its way to malta

you were lucky tyler, that it shipped before they closed down for good. I was an unlucky one. they closed down a day after i ordered it. but i ordered a pokemon pearl from play-asia saturday. and today is the 3rd day after it shipped on tuesday. i used the second cheapest shipping and it should get here sometime next week.

Congrats lilaznkrnboi19 and TylerDurden ^____^~!

*sprinkles more dust on the thread for others* <3

Man xD I think it's so funny that I'm starting to be able to read the names of the Pokemon the trainers are sending out so I have a general idea on who I need to switch too. This never happened when I imported Fire Red *slightly amused*
