Very disappointing. I pre-ordered an item on 28 Jan due for release on 4 Feb. I never received any updates so had to chase. I received a fairly prompt reply (to his credit) but was told they didn’t ha... See more

Ordered 5 games from the site. One was dispatched within a couple of days, no problem. Several days went past, no word on the others. Sent a chase-up email and waited a few days, no reply. Managed to... See more

The game was cheaper to pre-order on this site than anywhere else, which was great obviously. Unfortunately, it arrived two days after the release date, which was less than ideal considering it was a... See more

As with a few people, I was quite hesitant to purchase something from a business I hadn't heard of, but I went with the TrustPilot reviews and I'm so glad I did! The game was marked up as the cheap... See more

Disappointed with Delays and Lack of Communication

I ordered The Last of Us Part II on May 4th, and as of May 12th, the order still hasn’t been dispatched. I’ve sent multiple emails, tried calling (the number doesn’t seem to work), and even reached out via Facebook, but I haven’t received any response.

I understand delays can happen, but the complete lack of communication has been very disappointing. If I don’t hear back soon, I may need to return the item once it arrives. Hoping for a resolution soon.

SCAMMERS!

I ordered a game, which never turned up and all emails asking for an update have been ignored. Also the phone number listed on the website is no longer active. Had to get a refund through Paypal. DO NOT USE!

Awful communication

Awful communication, I have ordered a controller and have been waiting for a month now to radio silence
No message back or email back I have emailed 6-7 times now
Still no sign of what I’ve ordered
Do not use this company

Order not shipped more than one week. Support not answering to email letters.

Hello, why has my order, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, not been shipped for over a week? You are not answering my 5 emails? What's going on? Are you closed? Please ship my order today, because I can't wait anymore. This order contains a Birthday gift! If you can't ship the order, why aren't you answering my emails? I need this game badly - while you haven't sent it to me, it's already out of stock in other stores. If you don't have this game and can't ship it, please refund it. But shipping is prefarable

Avoid at all costs

Pre Ordered a game (Fatal Fury City Of the Wolves) for Thursday the 24th of April. It is now the 29th and I still don’t know what’s going on. I was told on Thursday by the seller that he would try getting an update on my order within the next 24 hours. It has now been over 100 hours since then and I have received no update. I have been emailing them continuously but haven’t heard a whisper. Pls avoid this company like the plague. Communication is non existent.

As a first-time customer

As a first-time customer, I had high hopes for a smooth experience, but I am disappointed that the ps5 controller I ordered on the 1st April has still not been delivered. I have already sent two emails, spaced 48 hours apart, but have not received any response or update regarding the status of my order. This lack of communication is very concerning.

Preorder was late but good communication would try again

Ordered a preorder well in advance, only found out the day before launch that it wouldn't be dispatched till the day of launch with the expectation of arriving the day after. I only got this info because I chased it up. While I recognise that this may have been due to factors beyond the shops control I still would have liked to be informed earlier there was an issue. I would have given 4 stars but my copy wasn't dispatched till the evening of launch day and didn't register with royal mail till after 8pm meaning there was 0 chance of it arriving next day so it actually arrived 2 days after launch. I was impressed by the quick email communication and would try again with a non-preorder item.

Edit: You've misunderstood which customer you are responding too. This was my first order with yourselves and I haven't emailed about compensation. So i'm honestly startled by the end of your reply. i'm sorry if you felt my review was unfair I thought that my willingness to try using you again showed there was no hard feelings.

We do not hand over stock to Royal Mail at 8pm because they are not open at 8pm. You can see this for yourself here - https://www.royalmail.com/services-near-you/delivery-office/swansea-delivery-office-sa1-1aa.
The stock was handed over in good time for next day delivery using Tracked 24.
The first scan with Royal Mail takes place AFTER the stock has been handed over and they begin processing it in their distribution centres.

EDIT - Thank you for providing further information on your order. I apologise for the confusion and welcome the honest feedback. The information I have provided regarding Royal Mail remains true. While we always aim to get pre-orders to our customers on release day, sometimes things go against us. Hopefully, the market leading price you paid provided some solace :)

Pre-order not on time.

Not happy, pre ordered a game back in February for release date 6th/3/25, well we are on the 6th and the game had not even been dispatched.
They have no social media sites to get in touch only a email (emailed and no reply yet) & phone number (not calling as signal where I live is non existent)
Wish I had stuck with my usual retailers.

I apologise for not fulfilling the order. This is a one-man business and sometimes I make mistakes. I have cancelled and refunded the order for you.

Ordered a product days ago without any…

Ordered a product days ago without any confirmation so I’ve had to buy from a different company and already got the product that same day without any issues so now I need to cancel my order with you and you will not answer calls and email says it’s invalid so I can’t even send an email. Rubbish

Dear Patrick, the product listing clearly states “Please note this item is currently out of stock. Dispatch estimate is approximately 1-2 weeks.” And your order has been cancelled and refunded, as per your request. The request that you sent via email this morning and we received with no problem.
I wish there was a Trustpilot for customers so I could give you a 1 star review. Helmet

Order canceled by seller

Very disappointing. I pre-ordered an item on 28 Jan due for release on 4 Feb. I never received any updates so had to chase. I received a fairly prompt reply (to his credit) but was told they didn’t have adequate stock. I feel they should verify their stock allocation before accepting orders they cannot fulfill. Lesson learned, and buyer beware.

Sorry I let you down Jeff. This is very much a one man operation and sometimes I make mistakes. There’s been a significant increase in orders and customer service since I listed the site on Klarna, and it’s tested my mental strength at times. Hopefully, you’ll try the site again in the future and you’ll have a better experience like 99% of our customers. Best wishes, Gavin.

I have pre order 3 weeks ago

I have pre order 3 weeks ago, and haven't got any confirmation it's 3 days due release. Phone number invalid. Not replying to emails... I got money back after 5 days .To add to review . My issue it's not that you not replying to my emails 2 at one day and 2 more following day... But that you haven't informe me es a customer than it might be delay on product or give any alternative option to solve problem in the first place Gavin.

Hi Mazvydas, unfortunately we were let down by a supplier on this title. I have tried to fix it but I have not been able to this time. When you emailed us, you were notified of the current wait time for a response. You were also notified that emailing again very soon would push your email to the bottom of the queue. Rather than wait, you sent multiple emails with a few hours, which meant other customers were seen to before you. I can also see you have placed 8 orders with us previous to this without any issue, yet you have never left a positive review. Your order has been refunded. You have been notified of this as well. I sincerely apologise for letting you down on this occasion. Best wishes, Gavin.
