Default Re: Rate The Retailer

The Good

GAME: +9 Never had any bother but I tend to only buy exclusives from them or good stuff on sale.

Gamestation: +9 Once again, never had any bother from them and they do get the odd good exclusive.

Amazon UK: +7 Again, very good but the delivery times often put me off.

ShopTo: +6 Nice fast delivery but awful packaging. I use them if I want the item here yesterday.

Zavvi: +5 Even though the packaging is crap, everything so far has arrived fine. Mind I have heard quite a few horror stories about them.


The Bad:

HMV: -1 Seriously, how slow can one company be. Even when there isn't 10 foot of snow everywhere they are still terrible.

Gameseek: -1 Fast delivery but total crooks. I can buy the same things elsewhere normally and don't have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it.

And not forgetting the ugly:

Play.com: -? Everyones favourite online retailer. There for the morons of society who think that play.com is the only online retailer in existence.I'm not even going to give them a number because they don't deserve it. Packaging = shit. Delivery times = shit. Customer service = shit.

Back in the day they used to be good when they stuck to DVD's. Then some money grabbing clown must have taken over and turned it to crap. Credit cards, clothes, oil changes, you name it they do it all. Unfortunately they aren't very good at any of it. They are basically the Kwik Fit of the online world. Sorry, anyone not from the UK might not know who Kwik Fit are. They are a UK garage that specialise in ripping people off with crap repairs. The customer service rivals play.com in the fact that the staff have the I.Q of a turnip and the looks to match.
