Consistency

Firstly, I remember how polite and great with customer service The Game Collection were when they began trading. All this time later, they're still customer centric with competitive prices that are hard to beat. Delivery times are also top. Let's keep physical purchases alive.

Good Games, Good Prices, Good Service

I have used Game Collection a lot over the years and they never disappointed me. They are always one of the best around on price and their delivery via Royal Mail is lightning quick. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

Hi,

We are sorry that your pre-order did not arrive as expected.

We do aim to dispatch pre-orders ahead of release to give them the best possible chance of arriving on or around release day. Unfortunately, your particular order was affected by an isolated technical issue which prevented it from being passed to our dispatch system as intended. Once identified, this was resolved and your order was dispatched.

We appreciate this was frustrating, particularly given the expectations associated with pre-ordering, and we are sorry that your experience fell short of these.

Kind regards,
TGC

Top Notch for Physical Games

I love shopping with The Game Collection because they usually have the best prices for games; an order has arrived within 24 hours of my purchase and when I had an issue with an item caused by the developer/publisher, they kindly resolved the problem in their stead. They're my first port of call for physical games and I'd highly recommend them to anyone!

Product never arrived

Pokemon booster box never arrived (they use DPD so that is probably the problem). It was ordered to my work address which has someone at reception 24 hours so it wasn't that which was the cause. They can't send the product back out once it's returned to them so then processed a refund which took another 5 days. Altogether 2 weeks of messing around for nothing. No explanation of why the courier failed to deliver either. Terrible service but looking at the other 1 star reviews I doubt I'll order from them again.

Hi,

We are sorry to hear that your order was not delivered and appreciate how frustrating it was to have to wait for the parcel to be returned before a refund could be processed.

We did raise the failed delivery with DPD to establish what had happened. DPD subsequently confirmed that there was no specific reason recorded for the parcel being returned and that the return had been processed in error. Unfortunately, they were unable to provide us with any further explanation as to why the delivery was not completed.

As the item had already been returned to us, we were unable to send the same order back out and instead processed your refund. The parcel was delivered back to us on 6 August and your refund was processed the same day.

We appreciate that this was an unsatisfactory experience, however the failed delivery and subsequent return were outside of our control and were caused by an error within the courier network. We did investigate the matter with DPD and processed your refund as soon as the returned parcel was received.

We are sorry that this experience has left you disappointed and understand your frustration with the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
TGC

Great Company

Great company, good selection of products and items purchased are always delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

The only downside, and its not just this company its a growing problem in the TCG community. It is incredibly difficult to purchase any product drops. I love Pokemon TCG and i watch my emails closely for when i know a set is due out. From the last 8 drops i have managed to get one item. The first couple i tried to get an ETB and a Booster box but even though you put it in your basket it doesn't reserve the stock. By the time i get through captcha, and password and checkout, I get the message saying the items are now out of stock. The last few drops i have tried to just get one item, whether its a mini tin or an ETB but even with one item i still get out of stock by the time i get through checkout.
They need a system where stock is reserved in your basket for at least a few minutes, ticket companies do this already.

Hi,

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review and for your kind comments about our products and service.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be to miss out on high-demand Pokémon TCG releases. Unfortunately, adding an item to your basket does not reserve the stock, but we appreciate your feedback regarding a temporary stock reservation and will take this onboard.

Thanks again for your feedback!

Kind regards,
TGC

Really happy with my PS5 controller

Really happy with my PS5 controller! The colour looks exactly like the pictures, the price was great, and the controller feels very responsive. I also loved the free PS5 game offer. I’ll definitely shop with The Game Collection again, especially if you keep offering great deals. Thank you!

The Game Collection is my go to place for physical games, they offer good pricing with free tracked 24 hour Royal Mail delivery which is brilliant!

Code Vein 2 is brilliant, really enjoying an intriguing story with souls like mechanics and challenging boss fights.

Best price and service for games.

Shopped around the Internet and eventually came across The Game Collection. Found what I wanted at half the price of everyone else and it was free delivery. 2 days later it's in my hand! Still sealed and perfect condition. Full marks to all that work their! Well done.
