I got both Assassins Creed and Uncharted sent seperatly via the cheapest option(Forgot to change to UPS which is the usual shipping type) and i'm dying to play them.
They were shipped Monday and i'm in Metro Melbourne. Can i definetly expect to get them Monday?

In my general experience, it takes them roughly 8 days. So if your stuff got shipped on Monday, I reckon they might arrive this coming tuesday.
I had my Uncharted shipped on Monday too, so I am hoping too

Well you will generally find a 5-10 day shipping period for normal airmail but also as its coming upto Christmas there might be delays due to large then usual volume of mail being sent.
Also all international mail goes via Sydney first, so your games would go to Sydney then sent off to Melbourne. _________________ RIP Buddha 19/10/1952 - 03/01/2004

I bought a mem card on the 5th of Nov and it didn't arrive until the 22nd. Thats the longest its ever taken, its taken as short as 6 days once. I dont mind though, it only costs like $3-$5 for shipping.
edit: shipped same day. _________________

I usually go with Ups and I get them usually two days later, which is excellent considering it is a nine hour plane trip.

I'm guessing there was some sort of delay with yours Darkwing. I've never heard of more than 8-9 days after shipping and its not close enough for Christmas to have that much of an impact.

The postage packet is about 25cm long, give or take a few cm. Hope this helps.

Why don't you just check the shipping information on the website? _________________

my package is closer to 30 cm.
although what this has to do with Play Asia i have no idea.
sorry, too much Scrubs, if there is such a thing.
(i could've also run with something along the lines of "and i'll give and take you a few cm.") _________________

I get EMS shipping with most of my games since they are so gigantically cheap due to AUD<->USD ranges. Usually takes a few days via that way.
Normal shipping it depends on stock availability as well as if it's part of a bargain deal that P-A do. I grabbed Nodame Cantabile on DS for $24 (inc. shipping) and it took almost 2 weeks to get to me.

Although my question has pretty much been answered above I thought I may as well ask.
I bought a wi-fi adapter and the shipping date was Nov 26, 10 days ago, still nothing. (I'm in metro Melbourne)
Is it worth emailing them or something if it's not here tomorrow?
The wait has NOT been worth the $60 saved.  _________________ irregardless isn't a word.

I'd at least wait 14 days, or however long the site suggests to allow. _________________

I'm in the same boat as everyone - my stuff shipped on Nov 26, still hasn't gotten here... which is a pain, because I wanted to get in some disgaea action on my PSP during my flight...

I had my US-NTSC Wii ship last Wednesday and arrive in Perth on Friday morning (not even 2 days as I ordered at like 10p.m. on Wednesday ) via UPS! Best shipping I could imagine. I had clients to do work for and planned to work all the weekend without interruptions however SMG destroyed that so badly it's not even funny. _________________

When you look at a product it says 'shipping 1-2 days' or sometimes shipping 1-2 weeks (or similar). Log on and it will tell you when it was shipped. I haven't had one instance where it took more than 1 week to arrive to my place in Brisbane after it was shipped, however the delay was actually them sending it. But at the same time, the product clearly said shipping from 1-2 weeks so it's not false advertising.
What date did it ship?

I'd say the spate of delays in shipping recently just has to do with the Christmas rush. Be patient folks  _________________
