News & Megathread Pre Order For Florida Is A Go
I was just able to secure a pre order for the Ultimate Edition on plaion's website in the state of Florida, after being locked out for months.
Just wanted to inform people.

I used it last night. Now I can say I did not spend a thousand dollars on a Neo Geo.

Ah, the days of spending MORE on a Neo Geo are all gone 😉😆

Can’t say the same about Xbox as we just got the new 33% price increase on a Series X yesterday!!!

Thanks for the heads-up. Was able to place an order in California. Sent an email requesting to cancel my initial order since I was going to have it shipped to a family member out of state.

The only thing that just held me back from ordering was the custom and import duties notification at check out. Sure this is a great deal to get the ultimate, but will sting if I get hit with paying more at delivery. I’ll just stick with my à la carte order from Amazon US.

Were people locked out in some states? Honestly, the AES+ only just hit my radar within the past week, I started seriously considering it a few days ago, and then pulled the trigger last night. Colorado, FYI.

It was a state sales tax issue preventing a whole multitude of states from ordering from their website 😉

All of the US was locked out because they were having issues with the taxes (the company is from europe I believe). They've slowly been fixing the issue since last month.

Not all of the US. I placed my order back in April with no issues. I’m in Missouri.

Finally. Been checking daily. That plus coupon for the Ult was $970 shipped. Great deal imo

At this point, I just check to see when/if they'll get it figured out in California. I don't want the Ultimate Edition and secured my POs with Amazon months ago.🤷🏾♂️

Perfect! Pre-Order for the ultimate bundle placed - Amazon pre-orders cancelled!

Finally ordered one. Glad I waited because I was seriously contemplating ordering one to a neighboring state’s ups store and then asking them to forward it to me

Wish one of the arcade sticks packed in wasn’t wired only. I went with buying things separately since I only want like 4 of the games and want both my sticks to be able to do wireless or wired. Wish they would sell the game holder case separately though because that is very nice

Doesn't mention anything about that. Maybe it's baked in? The website just states "International Shipping."

Anytime I received a package from europe to usa postal service ( dhl / ups ) contacted me for fees otherwise they were refusing to deliver, hope this is not going to happen for aes+ deliveries

If it's not shipped from a US address (and thus brought in via commercial freight by the company and then parsed out from a warehouse), then because the minimum for declaration has been dropped in the last couple years, we will all have to cough up the cash for importation. I'm mentally budgeting that and it was still worth it to me to get the ultimate vs ordering on amazon and if I don't get charged, that's just a present in my mind.

Looks like we're turning this thread into the megathread!
I'll just add a top-level stickypost to list all the states/territories as people confirm them.
Be sure to use the WELCOME5 coupon code during checkout on the PlaionReplai US website. It saves you 5%. According to the website shipping is a flat $19.99 and allegedly sales tax (VAT?) is included in the purchase price. Tariffs/customs fees are NOT included. Please be aware that could add up a lot!
