[killer_race]

hey i was just wondering and er...also worried...does yesasia sell pirate albums? because i bought the rene liu cd+dvd (hk version) and it just came across my head why there would be a hk version and a taiwan version...and why the hk version has DVD and its the same price as taiwan version...is it possible its a pirate version? especially since its from hk? o_0

No it does not. It's a site with great credibility.

I assume you're talking about

HK Version (http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1004098367/aid-358/section-music/code-c/version-mandarin/did-83/) TW Version (http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1004097772/aid-358/section-music/code-c/version-mandarin/did-83/)

It all depends on the country I guess, like how Japan has a higher average CD price.

Ask Yesasia if it worries you this much.

YesAsia is actually pretty fast with their response, usually within same day from my experience.

After looking at those 2 products, the HK version is published by "East Asia Music" while the TW version is under "EMI" . If you want to be absolutely sure what you get is real, get the EMI version. However, that doesn't mean the HK version is pirated. Sometimes companies like EMI have licensed local distributor to sell their products, in this case, it may be East Asia Music. But again, if you want to be absolutely sure, just ask them.

Hi guys, I’ve been purchasing items from Yesasia religiously for just over a year & I actually recently contacted them with a similar query; I inquired what the difference between a Taiwan version VCD & a Hong Kong version VCD of the same item was except for the price. The response was that the items are being distributed by different distributors, a Taiwanese distributor & a Hong Kong distributor, other than that the items were exactly same. Yesasia has a fabulous reputation & trust me there is absolutely no way they sell any bootleg copies of anything…

The goods do take long to ship out from Yesasia, you know. They say that in the FAQs on the site, and depends where you are in the world. One week is relatively fast, deliveries to Europe can take ~2 weeks, but nothing to do with their credibility.
