Product was delivered in great condition and within expected timeframe. Packing was better than anywhere else imo. Reasonable price as well.

I regularly pre-order Switch games from Itemdrop, and they always provide excellent choice, service and prices. It’s great to find an online store where you can get a reply from a knowledgeable human... See more

Would recommend to anyone ordering online - shame the shop is so far away from us as we'd love to visit! We've bought online several times recently, games have come quickly and well packaged. They hav... See more

Amazing Online Shop

Was a bit sceptical as I was placing my preorder of Like a Dragon: Ishin. But was put at ease after I placed the order and it was worth it as the game arrived on the morning of the release date. Amazing website with a lot of reasonably priced games and other merchandise, some of which I haven't seen advertised in the UK. Would happily order from them again and would recommend others to do so.

Thank you Steven. It's always a bit of a leap of faith with unknown businesses on the web but we're doing what we can to reassure people we are legit. I'm glad you took the leap and we provided. We import directly from some overseas manufacturers so some of the items we sell don't have a big presence in the UK. There are more in store than on the website so if you're ever in Devon, we're just a little trip away.

A+ all around to this company.

Great prices on these kits and items very well packaged.
Just placed another order for a few more bits from the ranges available.
Well worth checking out the miniatures and such available from here.
Not a one i had heard about before and was very glad to have found this new source for good priced miniatures.

Took a bit longer than expected to arrive (10 days after ordering) and had very little in the way of communication, but absolutely no complaints about ease of ordering, packaging and choice of courier (Royal Mail).

Itemdropped the ball here.. is this a scam?

First time buying from Itemdrop and still waiting on news of my order placed on the 15th January.

The Managing Director replied to my first email to let me know the items paid for were "stuck in the supplier warehouse" however no follow-up since then and I am beginning to wonder if this is just a scam. The price seemed too good to be true.

If something changes I'll update the feedback. Sometimes with this lesser known retailers the only way to actually receive a response is by going onto Trustpilot. I'd really like a response and ideally the items paid for or if they aren't going to be delivered then my money refunded.

Hi. Seems we're very good at not replying to you in a quick manner as it is now 4 months on from your order. I had rather dropped off the ball in terms of Trustpilot reviews as, as a small business of 3 people, I was prioritising other factors in the business to help streamline processes in the quiet months that start the year in our industry. Now some order has been introduced I'm back on it.

So I've spoken to my partner, the other Managing Director, and she informed me the whole situation was a bit of a mess. So here goes from my understanding; our Star Wars Legion items are half in stock and half held with our supplier (for dropshipping purposes if we run out of stock in-house as we only have limited space in our store). We usually keep enough in stock to deal with daily orders but on this day it seems our lower price (which was good and true) had been shared on social media so we had more orders than usual. We had sold through all we had in store so went to our supplier but found they had issues at their warehouse and had closed for a Toy Fair and didn't seem to get rolling again for 2 weeks. I believe you were informed of this, given a chance to cancel and told we would contact you if anything changed.
My wife chased and chased with the supplier for a couple of weeks with no change before you contacted us again to which our reply a couple of days later was definitely too late on this occasion. She doesn't remember why it took so long to reply, she remembers replying to the email you sent on the evening of this review but doesn't know why the email the day before this hadn't been replied to. It seems our issues tend to rise around the beginning of a month which could be a payday increase in sales issue as my wife is responsible for customer service, half our purchasing and 90% of sales so it might be taking her longer to reply. I will discuss this with her and see if we can't pass some of the customer services to our sole employee around the beginning of the month to help her time.

To finish off, I believe you were refunded, and offered the items at the same price again once our supplier had sorted themselves out which was emailed to you just 5 days after this review. I fully understand the frustration, fully understand we could do better and appreciate your time to offer us feedback so we can address the issues we might run into in the future. Thank you again.
