i used kpoptown but they got more expensive and now i order from kpopmart, i never used yesasia because it's even more expensive than kpoptown and i already feel guilty for buying this stuff
i don't know if shipping is completely kpoptown's fault since once the package leaves it's up to the courier to get it to you.
i will say that i've also had issues with their shipping and while it was the post's fault(it was stuck in customs), they weren't very helpful and sometimes took days to respond to emails.
do they give tracking number for the parcel? and also when you buy cd from yesasia do you get poster with them as well even though it doesn't say anything on the page?
if you want to get the most out of your orders, go to reputable ebay sellers. just look for the ones who sold a lot already and good scores. their prices are competitive too. they live for positive feedback
both are fine. yesasia's prices are always pretty bloated. kpoptown can be a little slow if you're doing a preorder of a popular item (it took forever to get my overdose albums u____u). dvdheaven's also a decent option (they changed their name but i can't remember what it is -- it'll come up if you go to dvdheaven.com though).
my first box dvd set kept getting pushed back, which while not their fault, they could have sent an email telling me that it was pushed back and i would have been in the third wave of shipments. i also preordered it and didn't receive my socks but i'm meh about that
dvdheaven is now ktown4u iirc. they seem to be on par if not cheaper than kpoptown. i just wonder if they still overcharge for shipping.
i like buying from yesasia bc it's the most convenient for me but it's expensive. i used to buy pbs from kpoptown and their shipping is cheaper and has options which is good for heavy items. choose which one works best for you, it depends per country
sa but if i could, i'd rather buy from ebay than these 2. i like the way ebayers pack their goods (sometimes with freebies too). just the thought ebayers does extras to make you order again. yesasia packs with cheap (but reusable) bubblewrap
i like buying from yesasia bc eventhough the prices are rly high, the shipping is extremely reliable and if purchasing over a certain amount the shipping is free, they're also fast with dealing with issues with the products shipped. i once ordered shinee's concert dvd but inside was sj's dvd instead so they resend the real one and now i got the sj one free lol
but yesasia albums don't come with posters unless you pick the option that includes poster in te set and it's usually much more expensive
