Scammers say psn code will be emailed within seconds of payment but don’t respond after order. Don’t trust these guys.

I'm trying to get away from relying on Amazon so much, it's so easy to worry that a company like SimplyGames won't deliver your game on time whereas Amazon most likely would. Well, those worries have... See more

Honestly one of the worst gaming…

Honestly one of the worst gaming companies to deal with they have a promotional offer if you spend over £80 you get your items delivered 24 hour tracked but if you do some digging (which I didn't) they don't offer this for pre-order items so when they sent out the first pre-order it was royal mail 1st class my game didn't turn up for release and has still not turned up almost a week after release I complained and I decided to cancel my second pre-order as didn't want the same issue.

They have now randomly cancelled my first pre-order game and not told me why I've used this company for years and had lots of issue but the cheap game prices kept me coming back but will now use amazon for future

Arrived on the day of release.

I have used Simply games for a good few years and they have never disappointed me.
I ordered a new release and it arrived on the day it was released. I couldn't ask for more.
A great firm to deal with .
Many thanks.

No Tracking! Really? The service is a simple one go online…

The service is a simple one go online find what you want pay for it and then you get informed of the progress.
So far so good
Then it leaves the shop/warehouse and disappears into the ether. No way to track the item unless it’s been delivered. A bit late by then.
I want to know where my purchase is and why, a colleague. who lives near me and who ordered exactly the same product and received exactly the same dispatch information, received his purchase a day before me.
Not a good experience especially when the item is a game that you have been waiting to play all year, only to be told how good it is by others.
I would rather pay extra to be able to track it.

Terrible Customer Services

My Blu-ray collection never turned up. Royal Mail apologised that the item had been incorrectly tracked to my house. After several emails to Simply Games explaining that the postman had not delivered that day, they asked me to send CCTV of the postman delivering that day to my house! Royal Mail asked me to give Simply Games the case ref to make a claim for the missing item but they refused. They are happy to take your money but very unhelpful when the item does not arrive.

Fast & reliable

Fast & reliable. Any order I've gotten was with me within 1-2 days. Shop about but simply games is often cheaper for new releases. Recommend 10/10.
