A huge HOLY CRAP AWESOME in the direction of NCSX with regards to shipping. I ordered Segagaga from them late Tuesday night with the cheapest UPS shipping option and it arrived just now :shock:

I just ordered my first package from YesAsia and hope it will be fine. I Decided to go with YesAsia rather than P-A because customers service stated me that they can lower the price only by a half... I need <22euro;/ YesAsia had no problems with that.

What, you didn't believe me? 2 days is the norm for NCSX.

I've dealt with them before, and UPS is indeed fast for same-coast delivery, but this one took the cake. Basically I just paid for cheap shipping and got the equivalent of overnight (since it wouldn't have left the warehouse until Wednesday morning at least). Usually I got 2-3 days from ship date, not under 2 from order date.

It really depends on the shipping "range". For example, NCSX is located in NY and I'm located in NJ, I can could choose the cheapest shipping method (ground) and still have the item next day. Where you two guys are located are probably a two-day ground shipment from UPS.

I have the UPS map-chart hanging in my office, pretty handy.

Yeah, I already said that earlier too. I've worked in a place that relied on the UPS ground shipping times map from my area to meet holiday deadlines. There's no way anybody on the west coast would get NCSX shipments using ground in 2 days.

Then again, since you pay $6 for the cheapest shipping on 1 item, do you really expect anything less than prompt and sturdy packaging?

Just for the record, my Sega Rally order with PA arrived in decent time and without any customs hassle (although it's worth pointing out that I know other people who ordered the exact same game and are either still waiting for it or have been stung with an import duty charge).

I'm chuffed, but I'll still be doing most of my business with NCSX, I think, apart from on those occasions when they've not got what I'm after.
