Gamestation.co.uk More Like GameCRAPATION

Ordered 5 games from this stupid retailer in September.

No order update or reply to emails. Credit card chargeback is on the horizon.

Don`t know how they can advertise the games I bought as in stock when it clearly looks like they haven`t got any of them.

Heh, I just sent an e-mail to them today because I haven`t recieved stuff from them I ordered last month.

Not exactly on the ball, but they claim they don`t charge until dispatch.

Received a reply from this incompetent company.

It appears that all 5 of the games I ordered are not in stock so they cannot process my order.

I replied asking them if they do not have them in stock why the fog do they still have them listed on their site as in stock. I have cancelled my orders and bought them from a company that does have them in stock. >:(

Note to Maria at Gamestation. Take off the bloody games you do not have from your website. The five games I ordered are still on there.

I just made an inquiry about my order with this company and they told me the item was out of stock and that my order would be cancelled.

They had 2 weeks to tell me that but didn`t bother. Complete joke, not going to last this company.

I have to agree. Their online service is miserable, to say the least. That, and both the stores they have up here are packed with overpriced games, with a heavy leaning towards the used section.

I`m all for a good selection of used games, but they seem to have made them their priority. If you can buy them cheaper new online, what`s the point? :/

I think gamestation will close within a year. I don`t mind getting used games at all as long as they work, but their games can often be found cheaper if you look around brand new.

Funny you should say that, In yesterdays "Daily Star" (it was left at work, i didn`t buy it!) they had an advert offering 2 x Pre Owned games for £40. (just found that url online whilst typing this).

some of the games are;
Fifa 2006: Road To World Cup (£14.99 online brand new)
Amped 3 (£14.99 online brand new)
Full Auto (£17.99 brand new online)
Kameo: Elements of Power (£17.97 online brand new)
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (£22.89 brand new online)

I give up showing examples, there`s loads though, and it makes me sick to think people are willing to pay £20 each for 2 second hand games that can be bought for cheaper, and brand new online! I suppose if people want to pay it though, more fool them.
