Staraxe - Lowest Offers & Good Service!

Staraxe has this very pro-customer promise where they will beat any price of a product you will find in other stores. I was able to make a really good deal on my PS4 bundle! Not only lowest offers, they do good service from enquiries to delivery, I have received my order in good condition and thru next day delivery date. Well done mates! Good service! Thanks Staraxe! Keep it up!

Great Experience and Would/will use again. Thanks guys keep up the good work

After researching for days and looking around everywhere I ordered a Canon 750D because their price was the cheapest around online. They provide 12 months warranty I wanted it shipped to my country. I was a bit hesitant because I have not heard of them.

But my order was tracked straight from order confirmation email. Full update and communication and it arrived in 5 working days.

Great Experience and Would/will use again. Thanks guys keep up the good work

Really Great Experience with staraxe.com !!! Highly recommended.

I am so excited. I don't know where to start from ! I have ordered Playstation 4 500gb. I researched on ebay and amazon but I find the price reasonable on staraxe.com and find their review pretty awesome. I received the order within 3 days with a proper packaging. Will definetely buy from staraxe.com again. And would highly recommend every buyers to visit staraxe.com as this company is very trustworthy and also do have a great competitive price.

Love my Playstation 4! Thank Staraxe

Steer clear!!!

Ordered xbox one via Rakuten for my son for xmas. It developed a fault after 3 days. Staraxe did not take responsibility for resolving the problem, I had to go through microsoft.
Son's xmas was totally ruined, xbox took 3 weeks to be mended as it had to go to Germany.
Staraxe not interested in customer service - no good will gesture or compensation.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Update : since posting this review Staraxe have contacted me and offered to send an opened game from last year, but only on the condition that this negative review is removed!! I don't respond well to blackmail so they can stick it!

As a response to the reply from Staraxe I would like to add the following:
1) The repair was sorted between myself and Microsoft. I was not given the opportunity to return console to Staraxe but had to get it repaired direct with Microsoft. (If I had bought it from somewhere like Argos I would have returned it to them). It did not take 1 week. my son was without his console for 3 weeks after only having it for 3 days at Christams. He was distraught that his long anticipated present had to be sent away.
2) I do not think it unreasonable to request a goodwill gesture in these circumstances. You totally ignored my requests until I finally posted this review. You then got in touch as follows:

Hello

We don't have these games but I can give 3 month xbox live membership which adds up to 30 pounds. Will that be ok?

For a start 3 months xbox live is not £30.
Also you said you did not have "Destiny" game. When I pointed out that you were still selling it on Rakuten you told me it was an old listing and should be removed. Really??!!

You said you offered me a £25 game. No, you offered me an already opened Assassins Creed unity game (which are currently £11.99 new on Amazon).
There was no mention during this offer of me having to retract my feedback. Then I received this email:

hello

thanks for that

Can you do me a favour and remove the negative feedback from trustpilot and rakutan and I can get this shipped out

I will most grateful
thanks
thomas

When I said I would only amend my feedback and that I wanted the game shipping first you refused to send it.
I have morals and I believe the feedback should accurately reflect the company. I will not stoop so low to remove it just because you offer to send me an old opened game.
Unfortunately my son has missed out on a game because I stick to my principles but at least I can sleep easy at night.

Folks, you can make up your own mind about this company but i will never go near them again.

Very Unfair Feedback from Customer after we have done everything to help her. Microsoft Xbox One Generated a fault as it was over 30 days we could not take it back but we got repaired by Microsoft. It was delivered back to customer within 1 week than Customer wanted a goodwill gesture thats adds up £25. Below are her emails.

My son's xbox has finally arrived and it is working fine so far.
He said that some things are working better, so maybe there was a fault
somewhere from the start.

Anyway, now that it's fixed as I mentioned to you on the phone, I would be
grateful if you could arrange something by way of a good will gesture.

He has been talking about the Destiny game so I think it would be nice if
you could send him a complementary game.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Lisa Shaw


I am unhappy that you have not replied to my last email re compensation/ goodwill gesture.
Please get back to me soonest.

Mrs Lisa Shaw

A complementary game, such a Destiny or rainbow 6 siege, would go a long way to improve the situation.

Mrs Lisa Shaw

can get a 12 mth subscription for £22 off cd keys.
If you make it 12 mths that would be better.

Mrs Lisa Shaw

I will amend the feedback once I have received the game.

Very impressed by the responsiveness of the Staraxe staff and their low prices, highly recommendable.

I was a little sceptical at first, to be quiet honest. The website could use some work, it does look like many of those fake websites out there, so at first I was a little put off. When I did decided to order a product, I must say that I was very impressed by the responsiveness of the Staraxe staff, their low prices and the fast delivery. I will definitely order from them again, highly recommendable.

Great Products and very quick delivery!

I've ordered multiple times off staraxe. I saw them on ebay first and saw they had over 3000 feedback with very competitive prices which assured me they were a legit company. I first bought a ps3 off them which came in 2 days. I then bought a controller and 2 games (God of War and fifa 13), which also came in 2 days which is great delivery times.

Their communication with me throughout was great, be it getting the tracking number or answering any question I had.
Great company, great service, will definitely visit again! keep it up staraxe!

Very BAD!

Very poor customer Service who don't have any idea as to what they're doing. Next day delivery service means a few days in their eyes. Requesting a call back to them probably means "meh if I'm bothered".

Also just to add a very shifty person delivered my item at around 8pm claiming he was from Royal Mail. When I asked for ID he stuttered and said it was in his car, told him to get it and he said he has other delivers to make. Hmmmm..... Very very shifty indeed.

Cheapest and fastest delivery I could find online.

I ordered a Playstation 3 500gb and a copy of Fifa 2013. Both came together within 2 days of ordering and also the Playstation was the cheapest I could find it on the web. Will definitely buy from here again. Keep up the good work Staraxe.

Hi Duncan, Thank you for your kind words we appreciate it. We are extremely happy to know you had a wonderful experience with us and hope you are enjoying your tech.

Cheapest I could find.

Found this company after searching for a PS3, they were the cheapest by far. Felt a bit apprehensive at first, then I found a few reviews and they also except Paypal which made me feel more confident buying from them. The delivery company had problems delivering the console and I needed it urgent because it was a birthday present. The guy from customer services was kind enough to meet me and deliver the console in person. That's what I call good customer service. I will definitely use them again.

Received item promptly and as described.

Ordered item via Staraxe website, item arrived promptly and as described.
Followed up with a second order from Staraxe website and received same prompt delivery service and item as described.
Would definitely use Staraxe again.
Only minor criticism is that there is room for improvement responding to customers post goods delivery email enquiries! I received a discount code off of my next order from Staraxe but I was not able to redeem the discount code on my second order for some reason and I would have appreciated some advice which was requested but wasn't forthcoming.
Besides that, great service!
