Re: Rate The Retailer
GAME/Gamestation/Gameplay:+7.5 All the same company, having a local store makes thing considerbly easier, the fact they have a pHone number, super easy free returns policy makes them my preferred choice.
The only issue I have is that I have to buy 3-4 copies of the smaller editions and return the other 3 in order for them to use a box instead of a jiffy bag.
Game4game.at +7 every item has arrived in perfect condition and in a double walled box, prices of delivery and cost of items however mark it down.
Play-asia + yes-asia + 7: fantastic packaging, although in the case of play-asia many item require additional postage cost. speed is also an issue sometimes taking 3 weeks. Also have to take into account import fees.
HMV + 7 : has a habit of sending items in boxes, even Steel books and normal games. Prices are on the high side for exclusives. Also many of their slip case editions arrive unsealed.
Zavvi/ Hut +5.5: A considerable improvement Over the last 6 months. Many items now arrive in box espcailly the bigger ones. Also have some of the best prices out there. Have started to sell noN UK version of games which is a big no no.
---------------------------------
Amazon -5: what a disaster of the company, no matter how many you order or pay for express or cheap delivery, their cardboard covers just don't cut. At least they have a free returns policy. Stay away unless you order an item that is large.
Shopto.net - 8: many games are not UK, send games in plastic bags, terrible customer service, take months to return and get money back. Order from them and you will regret it.
My memory: -9: company does not know what a box is, send items in plastic bag instead of jiffy bag, even normal games are sent this way. Terrible
Play.com - infinite, there is no number in existence that accurately ranks Play.com. It is one of the worst companies in history. 95% of items arrive damaged. incredibly slow customer service. They do get some very nice exclusive, which really annoys me because it's almost certain to arrive damaged. STAY WAY
