Took my money and stole it. No product ever arrived. Avoid like the plague. The fact there is a Facebook group specifically setup for the people he has scammed tells you everything you need to know. N... See more

The box is amazing and works brilliantly but didn’t come with any instructions - some printed instructions would’ve been good. I would give the product 5* but the customer service was really poor.... See more

This is a Con

This is a Con! The guy takes your money then you never hear from him again. Trading standards need to get involved. The list of people ripped off by this guy is growing far too fast

Disgraceful Service

Shocking. Never experienced such poor service. Placed order on 23rd April, still yet to receive and there are people who have waited even longer than me. Website says delivery up to 6 days which is a complete lie. I've been as patient as possible and allowed more time than usual due to current events but enough is enough. The guy isn't even responding to emails or messages now. Please do not order from this company. Lesson learnt for me do more research! Also, join Retro Gaming Box Customers if you want support or to read more horror stories.

Don’t buy anything from Retrobox !

I bought a console on April 30th and I still haven’t received my order. I’ve emailed the company 6 times and no response received. Their tracking stopped showing progress on May 5th.

Retro gaming box..... more like Fraud gaming box!!

Reported to trading standards and small claims court. Still not received my order and trust me you will never get a genuine response from the email address. I have a mobile number and all I got was lies. Got his mums mobile number and again LIES! It’s fraud and theft! Maybe one day I will receive but from a personal experience ignore this seller and find a genuine seller whom will offer you decent customer service and honesty. Wish I checked trust pilot before paying £99.99!

Bad service

Hello, I'm having the same problem, ordered one month ago. I know that maybe is difficult in this moment. But just one one email not generate by computer, explaining when will arrive!

Finally arrive 1 month and a half late. For me the biggest problem was that they dont reply any email.

The machine work perfect

his days are numbered!!

never before have I had such a shocking experience! Bought a retro gaming console in April from this guy and on the website it says 2-6 days royal mail tracked delivery. Got an automatic reply emai that said "We're getting your order ready to ship. We will notify you when it has been sent." I sent an email enquiring about customising my order, nothing, so I carried on waiting for my order to arrive and as it still hasn't arrived, especially within the expected timescale I sent another emai to ask where my order is and only received an automatic response email. I've turned to Trust Pilot and found a lot of other people in the same boat, placing orders then being fobbed off and the seller not responding and only taking our money and on his website and Facebook page full of fake reviews!

We now have a support group on Facebook:
"Retro gaming box customers"

My poor childrens because of virus cant go out which makes me think what is taking them this long to deliver.
No tracking now they say the batch comes from china,I do not mind where it comes from even from the moon as long as my poor childrens receive it i will rate them.

Retrogaming box

Ordered mine at christmas, had email saying it was dispatched but never recieved anything, the person has a facebook page and is still taking money off folk, there is alot of unhappy people on the retrogaming box page on facebook, and as far as i know he's being under investigation for fraud, he works under yellow trade solutions, i hope the person or people involved have a conscience and get locked up for along time, lucky for me i contacted the bank and got my money back!

Very bad experience

Bad experience

Ordered fine in early January and a few weeks later was told the device was shipped, but that was two weeks ago and nothing has turned up and no communication from them. Looks from others on here I'm not alone.

Feb 29th - box finally arrived out the blue after weeks of waiting. But does not work at all on connection.

Totally avoid these people. They won't respond to emails.

Scam

Bad experience. No communication or item. Ordered on the 8th Jan and it's now the 5th of Feb and still nothing. Going through the bank to get my money back. Complete SCAM.

Can't recommend

Can't recommend. Did not deliver what I ordered. I paid for 4 wireless pads with the console, but was supplied 2 cheapo wired ones instead. I connected my PS4 pads to it using bluetooth instead, but that doesn't change the fact they got my order wrong and have ignored my emailed requests for a refund of the difference. They don't have a contact phone number either.

Retro Gaming Box FAIL

I bought the gaming package in the Black Friday sale, waited until the new year to receive the power plug, hdmi lead, four controllers with NO console. Multiple attempts to contact them, I’ve been assured it’s on the way. I have little faith in receiving my product and believe I’ve basically been robbed. Happy to discuss and amend this post if I’m wrong.
