Hi Jaheim,

We’re really sorry this happened — we understand how frustrating it must be to receive a code that doesn’t match what you expected.

We’ve already gone through the screenshots and details you sent, and this has been escalated to the relevant team for a proper check. Everything’s been documented on our end so they can fully review what went wrong with the balance you received.

At the moment, we’re just waiting on their investigation results. Once we hear back, we’ll update you right away and make sure this is properly resolved.

Thanks for your patience while we sort this out — we’ll be in touch as soon as we have news.

Best Regards,

I paid for a blizzard balance card but…

I paid for a blizzard balance card but all I got an intermediary website that issued the gift card (Wogi) and it is actually issuing Razer gold (currency to buy on razor shop).

That Razer gold site is very very invasive and I had to add a phone number and my national identity in order to create a wallet and redeem the code there. Furthermore it’s Razer gold and not the product itself. It’s terrible and the product page from play Asia does not tell us this. Go through hoops just to redeem a ridiculous code via 2 third party sites. This playasia website has been super sketchy and non transparent. What a waste of my time and money and potential data leak. I will not recommend ever. And guess what? The razor shop don’t even have $50 blizzard balance card at all. Super super scam move by playasia.

Luckily, blizzard shop accepts razor gold as currency, so I have to jump through another hoop to topup razor gold with my credit card, before purchasing a game via the blizzard bnet shop.

Seriously? F*** off PlayAsia. I already had a bad experience with shipping via economy taking 3 weeks (it’s delivery within Asia!) while my item from Amazon is reached me in a week, on the same price. Now I get scammed with this BS. I am never using playasia ever. Would recommend you guys not to, so they will improve. Just buy things off other sites.

If I can give -10 stars, I would.

Hi CyberMew,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about the frustration this experience has caused.

We want to assure you that your concern has been taken seriously and has already been escalated to the relevant supplier for further review. We are currently looking into the redemption process and the product information provided to ensure everything is clearly and accurately communicated moving forward.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to go through multiple steps and third-party platforms to complete the redemption. This is not the kind of experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Your feedback has been shared with the team as part of our ongoing review, and we have also sent you an email regarding this matter for your reference.

Thank you again for your time and feedback. If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best Regards,
Playasia Team

Poor service

Poor service. I made an order more than 24 hours ago. Order ID. #65204203
I have been waiting for the code since then to no avail. I opened a case to issue a complaint, no response as well. It’s been almost a day now: enquiry #19809879

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Charles.

We’re truly sorry for the frustration caused by the delay with your order.

After carefully reviewing your order, we found that the issue occurred because the payment was made using Bitcoin. Since our system processes orders in USD, cryptocurrency payments can sometimes be affected by exchange rate fluctuations during the conversion and confirmation process. In this case, the final converted amount received was slightly lower than the required order total, which prevented the order from being automatically completed and caused the delay you experienced.

We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after waiting so long without receiving your code or an immediate update from our support team. That is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

We have already reached out to you directly with a detailed explanation of the situation, along with the resolution we can offer to help make things right.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding, and if you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reply to our support message. We’ll be more than happy to assist further.

Best Regards,
Playasia Team

Digital Code Problem

Usually, I receive my codes instantly, but I have had a problem where it would show me “preparing order” but I actually never receive it until I cancel and get a refund.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced with the digital code delivery.

In some cases, orders may remain under “preparing order” a bit longer as the code is being manually processed or while it undergoes additional security checks before release. This is usually done to ensure everything is properly validated and secure.

That said, we understand how important instant delivery is for digital codes, and we’d like to have this checked further for you. Could you please provide your order number or contact us directly via email so we can look into what happened and assist you accordingly?

We appreciate your patience and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello everyone and good day I ordered …

Hello everyone and good day I ordered the resident evil generation pack on the switch and I looked everywhere and I really got excited to see 3 left in stock in play-asia so I didn't hesitate to order my copy I was so happy and filled with joy and I when I paid and received an invoice literally an invoice like a confirmation of the order next day I receive a long apology from their team stating it wasn't in stock? And then I tried to ask why would it happen like how there were 3 in stock I didn't get a clarifying answer on how that happened but I asked for a refund now it's more than a week I wanted a track for my refund they didn't send me one and like I said in my email first time buying from them and last time and I'm gonna be warning my friends about that site till the day I die

Hi Dear Resident Evil Survivor 🎮

First off—thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re really sorry this turned into more of a horror story than a fun purchase. That’s definitely not the kind of “Resident Evil” moment we want you to have with us.

We completely understand how exciting it must’ve been to spot those last few copies, and how frustrating it felt to find out it wasn’t actually available. Stock issues like this can sometimes happen due to timing overlaps, but we agree—you deserved a clearer explanation and smoother follow-up.

Good news though—we’ve got your order number (#64984401), and we’ll take a closer look at your refund status right away. Our customer service team will reach out to you ASAP !

We truly appreciate you giving us a shot, and while this first experience didn’t go as planned, we’d really love the chance to turn things around for you.

Hang tight—we’ll do our best to make this right!

Find Another Seller

Be careful with this outfit. They advertise unbelievably low prices on third party sites like gg.deals. Then when you click through to play-asia.com to buy, you discover the real price is 4 or 5X higher.

Always remember: If something sounds to too good to be true, it is.

Great seller with items that always arrive safely packed

I've been buying from them for over 15 years now. The games always arrive and are safely packaged. Sometimes you need to wait longer if you buy multiple games, as they don't have it in the warehouse, but it's worth it in the end.

Its my first time ordering at playasia…(Update)

Its my first time ordering at playasia and i have to give it a 1 star. I ordered the Nikke Material Book (order Number is #64877204) and CS number is (19729377 &19735625) because i only could upload 3 images. The Item WAS IN STOCK at the 4th of April but instead of the material book i did got art book. I didnt wrapp of the seeling and i was wondering how the F hairs got under the wrapping. Im super frustrated and angry about this looks to me that playasia takes his Job not very serious. After checking the Shop again the material book is obviously now out of Stock and gets back at the 30th April because its considerd a collectable now.

I will change this Review if we get things done, but after i saw the condition of it with hairs under the wrapping a simple refund or something else is not enough. I hope you can send me the right item after we get things Sorted out.

If we get this sorted out i will change my review but so far a 1 star for me very disappointing.

Update: After getting in contact with the CS from Playasia we talked about the situation and the Provided evidence from me made the situation pretty clear.
They saw the Video and Pictures and Immediatly without hesitation they took care about this situation.
The correct Book was deliverd this time and as i promised i change my review from 1 Star to 4 Stars
The CS was really nice and answered properly to my Questions and concerns (so no casually genereted message just that the email hit there server is obviously genereted like in all companies).

Overall it was a good CS experiance.

Im now more willing to consider the playasia shop if i really want something from overseas.

I bought the Deluxe Box of Crimson…

I bought the Deluxe Box of Crimson Desert for PS5, and with all the fees it came to 188 euros.

Then they sent me an email saying it was no longer in stock and that only the Japanese version was available. Even so, I accepted. That box cost 107 euros, which means I should have a balance of 81 euros.

I told them I wanted the Asian version and chose Resident Evil Requiem for PS5.

Then they emailed me asking to pay the shipping fee for Resident Evil. Fine, I paid an extra 5 euros.

After that, they sent another email saying that the Crimson Desert box was still not available.

I asked them to send Resident Evil first while I waited for the Crimson Desert box.

And now they are charging me an additional 98 euros.

They are incompetent, liars, and scammers.

I do not recommend that anyone buy anything from this damn site.

Scam never touch

It’s been 4 months since I’ve placed a 200$ order for earpods and their only automated response everytime I’ve reached out is “we’re still confirming supplies with retailer absolute failure of a website
Edit: been 5 days and I’ve sent an email everyday like they asked and still only gotten automatic replies till today they said “sorry might be another 2-3 months until we get the item” like are we serious? If you don’t even have the item why sell it? Never buy from them especially after looking at the other reviews recently

never got my item nor my money back

I purchased an item from this company and received the incorrect product almost 20 days ago.

I contacted customer service immediately and provided all the requested information and proof. Since then, I have sent multiple emails and opened several tickets trying to resolve this issue.

Throughout this entire time, I have repeatedly been told to wait while the matter is being “investigated,” with no clear timeline or resolution.

At this point, the company has already acknowledged that they sent the wrong item. There is no reasonable justification to continue asking me for more time and patience.

This situation has gone far beyond acceptable. Making a customer wait this long for a simple refund, after admitting the mistake, is both unreasonable and disrespectful.

I expect this issue to be resolved immediately and my refund to be processed without any further delay.
