Would give them 0 stars if possible. An item they sent me was delivered to the wrong address (I have proof!) and they won't respond to my messages about it. I tried phoning the number on their webs... See more

Your order went to fraud review and failed, your payment was refused and the order cancelled.

The funds leave out account the day we refused them, it is then down to your bank to replace the funds to your account, this can take up to 14 working days depending on the bank/card company.

28.05.13: As you have repeatedly been told, the funds will return to your account, depending on your bank it can take up to 14 working days. As we no longer have your money, and as you failed fraud review you will not be receiving a code.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Anti-virus order fulfilled cheaply, instantly, and correctly.

I ordered an annual renewal code for a Norton Anti-virus package (Norton Internet Security). The code was emailed to me seconds after I had completed the on-line payment process. The code was valid and worked perfectly. I had a slight initial problem in opening the picture file containing the code, but this was a software problem of mine, not the fault of Gamesbite.

N.B. Anyone who purchases such a Norton code should be careful not to use it until their previous annual subscription is on the point of lapsing. I had assumed that the code would give me another 365 days cover from the expiry date of my existing Norton package. However, the new year's cover starts immediately you input the code - so I managed to lose out on 3 days-worth of cover that I was still due from my old package!

Have purchased many times, just perfect.

I have purchased microsoft points etc from Gamesbites on numerous occassions and have always had brilliant quick response with delivery within a couple of minutes, even though transactions at quite unsociable hours. Well Done team.

Probably good if code works - once code sent, not interested

Gamesbite have tried for a 2nd time to have my review removed, rather than get dragged into a tit for tat with them, I will summarise my experience with this purchase/company as briefly as possible so Gamesbite can refrain from having my review pulled because they do not like facts:

'With regard to my transaction : Non existent customer service, no return emails when promised, when emailed told to contact 'external link removed', not Gamesbite, attempts to make me look like a liar, lots of blame on myself and anybody except Gamesbite. I said it many times, if the code works, then well done, if the code does not work regardless who is at fault, well......' 'external link removed' cancelled the code sent by Gamesbite and provided me with a new code which worked - son is now happy, which means I can get on with my life.

My opinion, I would never use or recommend Gamesbite again, no respect shown to their customers, more interested in saving face on public review sites.

Hopefully this review will halt the requests of Gamesbite to have it pulled.....I am quiet happy to share the facts with anybody who would like to contact me, I have nothing to hide.....

23/05 14:43 - comment response by gamesbite is factually incorrect, if I try to detail facts, they request to trustpilot that my review to be pulled - I summed my whole experience up with my opinion title 'Probably good if code works - once code sent, not interested' - my review, my experience with gamesbite, I have left my honest and truthful review, I will leave it to the readers to decide on their own if they want to play Russian roulette.

16:15 - Gamesbite - assuming things as usual, not using facts - issue was not with profile - issues was with code - a '3rd party' resolved this by providing a new code. Gamesbite need to understand that this is a Review site for Opinions of Gamesbite purchases, that is the whole idea of TrustPilot - no point chucking toys out the pram because you can't get your own way.

And regarding your 'comment yet again' - of course I should be able to reply to a comment made by yourself that is not true. If you spent more time on customer service than censoring reviews, I am sure you would have a less amount of negative reviews.

the original review left by the buyer was not a review in this review they have stated they received a replacement code that works the previous review that was left stated the replacement they got from the manufacture did not work

upon the first point of contact we checked the code and there were no issues with the code however the customer claimed they had issues we surmised the issue must be with their online account and not the code we had provided so requested they contact their account holder to resolve this issue as due to data protection we do not have access to the online account

as you can see the above review they clearly state the provider resolved the issue for them and this can be no fault of our own

response yet again 23/05 14.43 comment

we had the same issue before with this buyers review than actually reply to comment they edit the review we have responded to every edited review and as you can see from the above review parts have been removed due to breaching trstpilot guidelines

to sum up this transaction the buyer bought a code had an issue contacted us we checked the code no issues our side was with the buyers online gaming account we advised them to contact and resolve that issue as you can see above it was resolved

next day wait

My wee boy wanted some Xbox live points and were meant to receive them within an hour. Actually received them almost 24 hours later. A good price though.

Your order went to review, and email was sent but no reply was received, so was cancelled and refunded, it can take up to 14 working days for your bank to place it back into your account.

I'm afraid your order went to review and needed to be checked manually by a member of staff, this was done first thing the next day.

Terrible!!!!!!

I ordered due to the fact it said, immediate delivery.....oh well maybe 24 hours later falls into that category?!?!
Apart from the frustration of that, I couldn't ring as it was a Sunday, so I sent 3 emails at various points, and I am still awaiting the courtesy of a reply....poor, poor, customer care. Buyer beware!!!!
