Love how the blame everyone else…

Love how the blame everyone else hahahahahahaha are you a Tory per chance as well? Complete and utter cowboys.... putting up fake reviews and passing it off as satisfied customers (none of which exist) now they rip off a disabled customer! Sums them up... scum of the earth!!

Edit - don’t know what your on about Jordan? Who’s Danny Williams? When are you going to refund the disabled “customer”!? Look at the band reviews mounting up as always..... enjoy your desperate attempt to cover up the truth as always..... either way their are enough horror stories now no one will ever buy from you again! 😂

Edit ... where have you gone PI ? Why won’t you answer your many accusations?! Usually so quick to come back with complete BS! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haha you deluded fool - have you seen the amount of Facebook groups that are laughing at you on a daily basis?! How you going to clear all backlog of ever growing negative comments below this time? More fantasy nonsense about supplies and excuses blah blah blah! You better get a good solicitor my man as you are going to need one.... thousands of customers hahahahahahahaahhaah

Jealousy doesnt suite you Alex Waddel/Daniel Williams :)
Edit:
Sorry Waddell, Williams not involved this time? Oh... yes he is, he is Jake Vegas...

Funny how your name, wadds, vegas, trev and many more all pop up at the same time claiming this and that 😂 you're a comedian but many people see right through your rubbish. Especially the thousands enjoying the console :)

Hows your business going? Still selling only 30 ogst every few weeks? Good luck getting more from odroid this week... just bought them all up - and the 200 that they bring in next week already ;)

I see a lot of negative reviews here…

I see a lot of negative reviews here and have to say I received my order after 1 month on saturday and it works fantastically well, despite the fact I cannot get the wireless controllers to connect. Bought as a gift and they are delighted and currently using an xbox controller and it works great. Thousands of games to choose from. Delivery was late, however some delays to be expected. All round a great service and happily purchase from piretrogaming again

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!
I ordered a console on the 27th July (order 126675) I was told I would have my order in 14 days due to a backlog, after many false promises and lies I asked for a refund on the 1st October, I was told this would take 10-14 days! I’ve still not had any money back and yet more lies regarding my refund!
I will be taking court action as I want my £245 back. I have been blocked from posting on their Facebook site and they have stopped replying to my emails! AVOID THE COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!

Be very wary

Ordered Superior system but had to wait 2 months In October so requested a refund, however nothing back so far so I have been forced to go through small claims court - really poor PRG - see you in court where costs will be higher if you had just refunded £195 originally!

Awful. Do Not Use..

Awful company. Ordered a Superior console. Cancelled the order when told it would take 2 months to deliver it. This was on the 1 October. I am still waiting for my money back. This company just lies and lies. First Dave was looking into it. Then their bank account was frozen. Then worryingly they said if I gave them my bank information they would get a third party to give me the money back!! “Dave” is now back looking into it. I am certain “Dave” doesn’t exist and this is just a big con. Do not use....

Happier!

About a year ago I bought the App from this company and everything worked great on tablet / mobile. So much so that when I came into some birthday money I ordered an ultimate console on the 9th Oct, website said 3-5 working day delivery and secure payment.
Decided to take the plunge despite the negative reviews as they appeared to be mainly from last years orders and the app was spot on.
6 weeks later and still no console. I have been chasing them up every few days about it, sometimes I get a reply and other times I get ignored causing me to contact them again. I have had replies about stock issues, email issues and others that say the console is ready to dispatch and will by the end of that particular day or week.
Still Nothing, not a thing.
Last email from them (Dave) was Thursday and said “I have your console, once I have the controllers on Tuesday it will be with you Wednesday”
Emailed and Facebook message on Tuesday to ask how the dispatch of the console is getting on and no reply to either.
In relation to the secure payment, it was a bank transfer and I cannot reclaim it through the bank. Please be aware.
I certainly feel very angry, upset and little gutted that my 40th birthday money which was used as a rare treat to myself has been basically “stolen”
If I receive my console soon I will amend the review into a more positive experience as maybe they have been experiencing stock issues but for the moment this review reflects how I feel.

Edit - Wednesday came and gone with no console and no reply to my email or Facebook message from the Tuesday either.......

Further update - good news, I have my Ultimate console! Taken nearly 7 weeks but had a very quick go on it earlier and it seems really good. Rating has been upgraded to show the fact I have a console. Thanks guys.

Great console and great communication every step of the way :-)

Initially I had a few questions before I ordered which were answered immediately.

So I ordered a console which arrived within a few days as promised.

Then I had a few support questions which were all answered within the hour.

Now I'm playing all my old favourites and absolutely loving it.

Thanks guys, you've made my year :-)

Superior retro ogst Consul So…

Superior retro ogst Consul So disappointed been waiting over nine weeks for a console that should’ve taken a maximum of 20 days. All I keep hearing is excuses about controllers and what else is disappointing is they never ever give me an update regarding my order it’s always me chasing For an update Not Good.

Ordered a superior console on the 5th…

Ordered a superior console on the 5th of September and was told 4/5 weeks before I received my console and I’m still waiting been told yours will be sent next week a few times now by PRG and even given a tracking number that did not work and they said the post office lost it seems like I’m just getting fobbed off with excuse after excuse . I have even been told my console is ready but they are short of controllers . If I get my console by this Friday the 15th of November 129197 I will amend this review of the company PRG retro pi . They sent me a tracking number as the stated below that they posted it and it got lost 🤔🤥 I sent this tracking number to my brother who works for Royal Mail to check and he come back saying it did not exist and was made up . Have been promised now from the 15th of October it will be with me the week after every week since and I’ve still not received my order .

Hey James,

We have sent it once already, but we are just waiting on more stock to arrive to forward the 2nd lot to you, as you were aware we have to wait for a parel search completion which has been done also. So it will be sent this week.

Sorry for the inconvenience but we have to follow protocol.

Totally concerned at first, Very glad I dealt with them now 😊😊

I would like to say firstly that this first review I’ve ever done on a business, let alone on an online business that I came across on Facebook.
I ordered and paid for my supreme system on the 6th Oct 2019 not realising that there such a negative agenda against PRG. I then came across there trust pilot page and I have to admit I was taken aback with so many people suggesting the company was a Scam. I’ll be honest I thought myself I had totally messed up, however from reading the company’s responses stating they had supplier issues I thought I’d give them a chance and keep calm. I personally own a number of small businesses and fully understand things sometimes go wrong. I messaged that lads and explained about the reviews and how I had bought the console as a gift. Within an hour I received a message saying that I would get the system within 8 weeks but if I told them a date I needed it for they would try there best to get it out sooner. True to there word I got my system on the 10th November 2019. About the system it took me a little while to figure things out because I had changed a few controller settings by mistake. However the aftercare service by the lads has been brilliant and they have helped me wherever possible. I know a lot of people have had issues, however I know for a fact that these guys are trying there best to get clear there back log. I really don’t think slagging them or being aggressive helps your situation.just talk to them like a decent humans and don’t treat them like rubbish and they will go above and beyond. People may think this is a fake review but trust me it isn’t and My son is really happy with his gift so far. I am sure if I ever was to have any other issues with the system the lads would help me out. Would definitely deal with them again !!!!!

Order Number 102201 06.12.18 - order unfulfilled

Order Number 102201, Ordered 06.12.18

I ordered a Superior console for my autistic brother as a Christmas gift in December 2018.

Since this time I have not received the console despite frequent requests for updates. I requested a refund in February but this was not granted, instead I received a number of e-mails making various excuses for delays.

It is now nearly 12 months since I ordered a console from PRG and there has been no further progress in resolution.

I therefore write this review as a warning not to make the same mistake because, as it stands, it appears PRG are not fulfilling their orders and keeping people’s money.

I am willing to consider modifying this review should PRG wish to finally fulfil the order.

RESPONSE TO PI RETRO GAMING REPLY 12.11.19:

I have given my order number and date of order. Is this not sufficient information to identify my order? It’s unacceptable to reply “I have no idea who you are”. What is the purpose of the order number you provide?

I have e-mailed you and you have not replied.

Please reply to my email and give specific details on a) sending me the product ordered or b) providing me with a direct bank transfer to refund the money sent to you on 06.12.18.

Could you please email me sales@piretrogaming.com so I can give you an update as by your name, I have no idea who you are. We would never have NOT granted an email, we issues many at the time but as you are aware as is everyone else waiting, we requested that as many people as possible create a chargeback due to having £93000 stolen from ourselves. We have made no excuses since, it has been consistently the same thing, we will catch it up in the fastest manner possible and have been getting through the list.

For anyone reading this. Yes we do have a backlog, something we have never hidden caused by a supplier from China stealing £93000, this backlog is really old but does not affect new custom at all. All consoles on sale are currently 4 - 5 working days and the profits from said sales are moving the backlog to completion.

Excellent service for my arcade

Bought an Arcade from them a week ago and it turned up on time. The product works great, there customer service via there Facebook messenger is second to none, nice quick responses to any problems. They even answered my question and helped on a Sunday even though I wasn’t expecting a reply till Monday. Excellent service
