Blatant scam

They sell products which are not in stock and then delay, delay, delay - avoid at all costs

Reply from WhatGeek

Dear Customer,

We’re sorry for the frustration. Your refund has been arranged, but there’s a delay due to payment platform processing (not a refusal). It should reach you soon—we’re following up to speed it up.

Thanks for your patience.

Always reliable

Of all the times I’ve ordered from Whatgeek, they’ve never let me down. Always quick processing and in my hands in just over a week (10days). Tracking was decent. Always well packaged and with a discount for the next order! Thanks guys!

They were the best value I could find…

They were the best value I could find for the handheld I wanted by £15-20 or so, when I changed my mind later they were fast in cancelling my order for me. I'm expecting my refund to clear this week.

I will update if there's trouble in this regard (though I doubt there will be)

I love WhatGeek

I love WhatGeek, I’ve made a few purchases from them now and i’ve never had an issue. Amazing prices, amazing products, amazing website, simple.

Great customer support swiftly replacing a Gamesir controller that I ordered that went faulty after a few weeks of use.

Do not be sceptical about this site it’s honestly brilliant. Order with confidence.

The product I purchased was discounted but they have offered a full refund that has yet to be fulfilled, but I think it will soon.

I can’t track my package anymore?

I can’t track my package anymore after it was handed off to a local carrier. Is it still going to arrive? It’s taking longer than it should for regular mail to make it the distance that it needs to travel.

Great retro console and fast delivery

I bought my first retro console ANBERNIC RG556 and was very surprised by a fast delivery and then by a very solid console capable to handle games up to PS2. Also, the screen is amazing and big enough and overall very comfortable to handle for long play session. I highly recommend it.
