Has anyone outside of the UK got their MGS V copy from ShopTo? It's been one week and I've yet to receive mine.

I ordered mine on 25/8, got a dispatch notice on 28/8 (Friday) and it arrived the following Monday (31/8), one day early. I only paid £3 for postage, but it was marked as First Class in the orders page for some reason. I'm in Ireland.
 
Just got back from shopping ham is 50% off.

Also Game cancelled my Super Mario Maker bundle thing today and apparently lots of others were effected too. A few people were charged 5 times.

Worst company ever.
 
Hi guys, I had questions about Gameseek and Playasia.

Gameseek, I am completely new to. I have ordered a few upcoming games from there and I was wondering how their delivery times are to mainland Europe (Sweden).

Play Asia, I have used several times before, but I stopped once they no longer offered the free shipping option. I have some pre-ordered games here, too. How are they withdelivery times if you choose the cheapest option?
Anyone?

I had the exact same situation as this.
 
And thanks to you too!

Yeh I'm pretty pissed - all I hear about them is that people always get orders early from them, this is my first order and it doesn't even turn up hah

Goddamnit :(

Ordered from them, I'm in Ireland, got the dispatch notice on 28/8 (Friday) and it has not arrived. I even paid for the fastest courier shipping, but they dispatched it as Royal Mail with tracking. That tracking number does not exist though if checked at Royal Mail. And now my order has disappeared from my Order History on Shopto.. what?

I have a support ticket logged with them, I'm dreading what they'll respond with.

This is the exact situation I'm in. Order disappeared from ShopTo website even though I have the confirmation emails and the provided tracking number for the shipment keeps telling me to "Try Again". Will also submit a ticket. I'm in Portugal by the way.

I got a response from them. The order was returned to them by Royal Mail! They issued me a full refund and called me Niall (that is not my name). You're probably in the exact same situation.

I got my money back but this is the first and last time I try and shop at Shopto.

SimplyGames here I come. I want my steel book.
 
Anyone used boomerang?
They're cheapest for Tearaway Unfolded it would appear and they appear on GameCrawler so I'm assuming they're cool.

EDIT: Gonna use simply games but I guess for future it;'s still nice to know.

Pretty big scandal where they accidentally gave away all their users' credit card details so people were getting charged like mad for random stuff, then they denied everything even though all the evidence was pointing to them and so did sod all to fix the problem.

Personally, I would avoid.

You're correct, they just replied. Exact same scenario, order was returned and got a full refund. I'm completely baffled, not even a courtesy message to make me aware of the situation. They got my name right, though...

Ah man that sucks :/ Unfortunately I'm in England so I didn't even get a tracking number for first class. Still got to wait till saturday before I can report it as a lost item.

SPOILER ALERT: No it still hasn't arrived.

Is your name Niall perhaps? Maybe we're three for threes in here with Shopto this mornin'.
 
Hey, guys. I would like to buy Onechanbara Z2: Chaos for PS4 and I will probably get it through amazon.co.uk for £28 + shipping. Do you guys know of any other place where I might get it cheaper? I know it is pretty cheap already at £28 but on the off chance that you found something else I would be interested in knowing about it.

They fixed the problem, in that they now use a third party payment company, but you are right that they admitted nothing.

I would say they are safe to use, if the discount is significant, but many will wish to avoid them on ethical grounds.
 
What do you think the likelihood is that tesco will have the newer version of the ps4 by Christmas? With the tesco boost (spending tesco points) the effective cost is only 145 but I am wondering if I should hold off until Christmas (when there will likely be another boost).

You could check in store to see if they have new ones now? They might at some of the larger Tescos.

I thought they were already stocking it?
 
Hey everyone, owing from my PS4's recent self destruction, so I was wondering what the best deals are going for them in the UK right now, preferably as a bundle? I've seen one for £269 at simplygames, but its just the console. Thanks in advance if some kind soul finds a good one!
 
Any cheap copies of Mad Max on PC? Been interested in it and if I can find a good deal, wouldn't mind checking it out.
GMG had a deal before release that brought the price down to 24 EUR.

I expect they will soon reintroduce this deal, since the game is not doing so hot with reviews.

90BRL on Nuuvem, ~$24 USD/£16/22€

You need to use a VPN to buy it (select US, it's available for purchase there) but you don't need a VPN to activate or anything (according to reddit. Don't hold me to it but I did the same thing with MGSV the other day and it was fine).
 
If you're considering a VPN why not just buy from a CD key reseller, many of the reputable ones have Mad Max for under £15.
 
They have an excellent track record for customer service. On par or in some cases above what you get from authorised retailers.
 
Anyone that order MarioMaker from TGC or Simply get delivery yet?

I originally had it ordered from TGC but moved it to Amazon after getting £40 Amazon voucher for £20. So was just curious how eaely I could have got the game if I wasn't such a cheapskate!
