Free Shipping available at Playasia

UPDATE as of September 20, 2024:

You can finally see if eligible individual products are available on free shipping!


Shipping is now free for economy shipments at Playasia when you spend over $99.99 on eligible products! That means you can bundle toys, games and whatever else your heart desires.

The Free Shipping Update

Global shipping has been a significant topic of discussion for Playasia since 2020 and more so recently considering international conflict and fluctuating crude oil prices that affect the cost to ship products internationally. In order to adjust to these fluctuations in crude oil prices our shipping rates will consequently increase by $1.00 for all airmail shipments starting today, May 4th. We will monitor our available shipping channels and rates closely for ongoing development.

To combat these shipping price increases and the effect on our customers the option for free international shipping will be making a much-requested return. All orders valued over $99.99 will have the option to ship for free via Airmail. Unlike our promotions in the past there is no end date for this additional service.

  • Airmail base shipping costs increased by $1.00.
  • Airmail eligible orders over $99.99 will now have the option to ship for free.
  • This does not apply to existing orders.

Some products will be too heavy to ship via airmail and thus will not be eligible for free shipping. If free shipping is not automatically applied to your order – individual weight and dimensions are likely the culprit! Currently products with an individual weight over 650g will not be eligible for free shipping. Total order weight must also be under 2,000g.

        it free shipping but still you have to tax?

        • Fem says:

          Hi Demetrius,

          It depends on the country to ship. Once the designated country received the parcel and demands to pay the tax, the customer is subjected to pay the tax.

    • Kazu says:

      If you go to the info page of the item you want and it says “FREE DELIVERY when spending over US$ 99.99!” right next to the price tag, it means it is eligible for bundling to get free shipping. Vice versa, if the item doesn’t have that, means it is not eligible.

  2. Luiz says:

    I want purchase 3 games they ask me to pay 30 dollars for ship.

    for US

    • Fem says:

      Hi Luiz,

      You have to bundle for $99.99 on eligible products to avail of the free shipping.

    Where can you check the weight of the individual items?

    • Fem says:

      Hi NGamerCole,

      Unfortunately, you can’t check the weight of a certain product on our product page. But once you order, you will be able to get notified if you are eligible for the free shipping.

  4. Lucas says:

    Does it apply to pre orders? I was trying to do a $108 pre order that for sure was way below 2000g but still charged me $43 for shipping.

  5. Jon says:

    When i added my last item to my shopping cart (total ~$130), a notification pops up saying the cart is eligible for free shipping.

    Yet when i try to check out, there are only two shipping options that are over $30 each. Is this a bug?

  6. DExus100 says:

    I was about to checkout on some pre-orders for a couple of plushies that all have the “FREE DELIVERY when spending over US$ 99.99!” advertisement. I added them all to my cart, with the order valued at $124, but when checking out…. the shipping was going to be charged anyways. Is the offer a lie? Is there something I have to do for the offer to apply? Is this not available for pre-orders? Is it because two of the plushes release before the other 6?

  7. Chris says:

    does this apply canadian shipping? It only show one shipping option which is express?

  8. Mike says:

    I am offered free shipping but I have trouble. I don’t see the option at checkout. I have got 4 LPs in my cart. How would I access the free shipping?

  9. York says:

    I think the same problem as lots of previous comments.

    I wanna buy two Splatoon 3 gaming headsets, one Splatoon 3 card pocket and one Splatoon 3 game.

    It says free shipping to US, but it is not…. and there is no specific guideline in your page.
    when I go through check out stage, There is no options to choose but $130.00 shipping, is this your site error? You must improve about this shipping cost with specific price option per item.
    Otherwise it looks like you cling to people without telling expensive shipping cost first….

    No matter what I do there is no free shipping option. It is always express and you can’t unclick it. Why is that? The object doesn’t weigh that much.

  31. Nori says:

    What is the possible reason behind some items not counting for the free shipping?
    I’ve seen a few items that are shippable through economy shipping but don’t count for the $99 for free shipping
    Will these permanently stay like this? Are there certain needs to an item to be accountable for free shipping? Because I have not seen significant differences in those items which left me confused.
    Is it just random and am I unlucky? I’m very curious, thank you for the answer in advance.

    • Fem says:

      Hi Nori,

      Currently products with an individual weight over 650g will not be eligible for free shipping. Possible some of the items you have chosen have weighted over 650g.

      Expect 20% standard tax on your order since that’s Austria’s tax rate.

      Hi Carlos,

      If you mix digital and physical orders, you will get an error. So, it’s better to order pure digital or pure physical to avoid error. And yes, you PSN code will arrive on your Playasia profile.

    Hi PlayAsia, i am trying to order 5 plush toys for my son and each item says it qualifies for free shipping as does my cart when I go to checkout but when I get to to my delivery options the only option i have is expedited shipping for a high premium. My cart is only ~$110 USD but shipping is an additional $50. can you assist?

  37. Caressa says:

    The free shipping if you order a plushie isnt possible

  38. Alex says:

    If I purchased two pre-orders (one to be available in March and one to be available in April) at the same time in order to get the $99.99 free shipping offer, will the March pre-order be shipped first when it becomes in stock ? Or will it be on hold until the April pre-order becomes available?

    • Fem says:

      Hi Alex,

      If you want to ship the March pre-order item first, your free shipping fee will be cancelled. To avail the free shipping fee, you have to wait for the April pre-order item to be available.
