“WOW!!!”

★★★★★

written by neilmc77 on 13/12/2023

How did I not know about this site sooner. Best price you can find by miles, no dodgy codes or logins just a physical copy of the game I wanted at a really good price. And to top it off it was here in a couple of days.

“First time but not the last time buyer”

★★★★★

written by GlennGlenny on 03/11/2023

I recently ordered from Simply Games for the first time and then realised the postal address was incorrect thanks to PayPal! I emailed the store and they responded quickly and adjusted the address for me. I got the item really quickly and the price was the best out there

“Quick, good prices, great service - a favourite to...”

★★★★★

written by ArcueidLover on 18/06/2023

I've used Simply Games for quite some time now and I've never been disappointed by them. Orders are always promptly shipped and arrive quickly - products are always priced well and often more affordable than other services in the same sphere and the few times there's been a problem with an order I've been able to quickly resolve it on getting in touch with their customer service. I've ordered many games from them for different platforms and even finally got my PS5 from them when shortages were abound for such - came as quite a bundle too with a few games and a handful of useful accessories. All in all I've had no issues with their service and would happily recommend to anyone who can make use of their services - which sadly is limited to the UK but well worth it to all in the UK who wish to buy what they have on offer.

“Simply great prices & delivery”

★★★★★

written by on 16/05/2023

Have been buying games from Simply Games for about 5 years. Usually found them to be the cheapest & reliable. Delivery is always fast (or on time with pre orders) I don't buy lots of games but always buy from here unless it's an older game. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for games with great prices & fast delivery. Never had a problem so not used customer service.

“Compnay has taken steps back in service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by JoseHawkins32 on 22/04/2023

Two pre-orders in a row now have failed to arrive on release date, despite payment being taken up to a week prior to the release date. The second order, payment was taken on Monday 17th April & today Saturday 22nd April, the Royal Mail have again not delivered. If it wasn't for the fact this is becoming consistent (2 pre-orders & 3 orders overall) I may not have written such a negative review. The company was the best place to order games by post this time last year. Now they've seemingly decided to post when they feel like it. Used to be a big advocate of the store, but until they buck their ideas up I won't be shopping here.

“Faultless price & service! ”

★★★★★

written by Jamir313 on 03/03/2023

Fantastic price as always with Simply Games, never have I found it cheaper elsewhere and they never fail to deliver a game within the time scale they state. Preorders have always come on release day & customer service are very prompt and helpful. Wouldn’t buy a game elsewhere.

“Preorders always late, rude customer service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 27/02/2023

SimplyGames used to be great, but in the last few years they never deliver preorders on time. My last 5 preorders have all been really late, not just a day late, but anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. Amazon and ShopTo deliver on time. They seem well aware their deliveries aren't on time for many customers but they don't seem to care.

“Item mess up.”

★★★☆☆

written by Shenpet on 07/01/2023

The wrong item was sent. Have to say excellent in making contact but I have to pay P&P to send item back and wait for them to get the item before they send the right item out. So for there mess up I have to wait a lot longer to get my box set before I can play my game. Do the right thing and send my item out now, you have the proof I sent it back.

“Best Price & Fast”

★★★★★

written by jacshin6 on 02/01/2023

I ordered a 4k film at the cheapest price I could find anywhere and also received a discount code to use that made it even cheaper. Best value I could find anywhere. Communication was great and I received the film in only a couple of days, even with the postal disruptions. I would definitely recommend and will check then out for future purchases. Great stuff! * I would like to have put received early but the option wasn't there.

“What happened?”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 30/12/2022

I use to use Simply for all my games. Sadly my last two pre orders have arrived late. I get that this is down to Royal Mail but Simply should follow others and ditch them for someone more reliable. Until they do its Amazon all the way for me.

“Dissatisfied”

★★★☆☆

written by Webster995 on 17/12/2022

Never had a problem before but Really not happy that they're still using royal mail over other couriers, especially around Christmas. Will have been over a week before i receive my order. Not convinced I'll even get it before Xmas now. Evri would have had it delivered in a couple days no fuss. Royal mail are unreliable now which means the business is also. a bit of foresight wouldn't have gone a miss to ditch them and go with someone else.

I bought my son his Xbox one off them two years ago and had no problems what so ever. They are fast delivery and also if you pre-order games you normally get the games the day before they are due out much to the delight of my son and the envy of his friends.

Certainly not. I bought my PS4 from them and received it within 24hrs - obviously depends on when you order (time and day) - I ordered at the beginning of the week in the morning and arrived next day. The console and box itself arrived with no damage, seal intact etc. Its as I would have expected, as if I walked into a high street store and bought one there. I have bought a lot of things from Simply Games including a Turtle Beach Elite 800p Headset - my 2nd most expensive product after my PS4, from them and every product has arrived safely at or before the expected due date - inc pre-ordered games too. I can honestly give them a great recommendation - often best on price, very quick delivery and never once had any issue at all. I buy with confidence from them!

My partner and I have bought PS4 games on numerous occasions from Simply Games. The prices have usually been the lowest around and they are delivered very quickly. If they are pre-order games they usually come a few days before release date which is excellent. I have just recently purchased a 2nd PS4 for my son for his 21st. Unfortunately, we had already ordered it from another on-line company. Just after we received the PS4 Simply Games had the PS4 1TB edition on offer for £40 cheaper. I was definitely a tad miffed for missing that bargain! We can thoroughly recommended Simply Games and we have had no trouble with any of the items we have received. Go for it - especially if you can find yourself a bargain - with Simply Games. All the best.

As a company they are serious, no problem there as in they will ship out whatever you buy from them. Shipping on the other hand ... not so great. I had preordered Destiny The Taken King with them and got it a whole 5-6 weeks after release date. When contacting them, they said they couldn't do anything except wait until 6 weeks minimum had past before they could start making inquiries. So basically: yep, safe to buy but don't hold your breath if your package takes a long time to be delivered.

All new consoles carry a 12 months manufactures warranty. Pre-owned or refurbished units, check with supplier if any form of warranty applies. Also remember to keep your purchase receipt and preferably pay using a credit card for added security. Once purchased, it is advisable to register your unit with Microsoft. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please confirm directly with the supplier "Simply Games" they are always very helpful.

How long does it take for this company to make its refund? The company is sure to charge a person in a second , but when it comes to cancelling an order and getting a refund , it takes bazillion of years, its way over 5 days they said that they were gonna refund me and yet nothing happens. Not to mention not to have the common decency to answer on 3 mails that i sent asking what's wrong with them giving me my money back. Poor customer service so far.
