Gameseek and mymemory - trustworthy?

Leprekaun

Hi all! I'm thinking of buying a couple things but wanted to know the general opinion on these shops. I've never bought anything from them before but have noticed that they have some rare stuff that I've been looking for.

The links for them are www.gameseek.co.uk

and www.mymemory.co.uk

dunno about gameseek but mymem.co.uk are safe as houses

How'd you mean?

Gameseek say they have items in stock when they don't. It's their distributor that has them in stock. Can take an age to get stuff off them. Also they won't ship anything bigger then a controller to Ireland e.g. SF4 TE fightstick

My Memory is reliable, I will be buying from them again.

Leprekaun

Ah yeah, fair enough. I'm not looking to order anything like a console. Is there any way of reaching their distributor to ask them about stock?

Glad to know mymemory are good. Been looking for a game for ages and they're the only guys who have it.

bought an ipod speaker thingy from mymemory which didn't work out of
the box and I emailed them about a return. They told me to post it back
and they would replace it and refund postage and they recommended
registered post which I then did. Upon receipt they refused to refund the
Irish reg. price, offered only the uk reg price, and refunded the price of
the speaker which had doubled in price since. I argued the point with them
to no avail so I won't be using them again

Gameseek are rubbish. Ordered a SFIV joypad off them before the game was released and they took the money straight away. Ended up having to wait three months for it to be sent as they had none in stock, despite advertising it differently and they continued (and still continue) to sell stuff they don't have in stock. I'd steer well clear.

bought a controller off gameseek... took an age and a half for it to arrive, due to them taking my money before they actually had the controller in stock. But they where very communicative and kept me updated regularly via email to let me know when they where expecting stock in.

That being said, a true test of a company is their returns policy and how well they treat the customer when they have a problem. I haven't had to do this with them so I couldn't say.

Well its cheeky that they take your money when they don't have stock. Thats ridiculous really. I know that they would send what you're looking for when they get stock.I'll probably look elsewhere for the fightpad then. Real shame because they're way cheaper than anywhere else.

Videogamesplus.ca were selling them at one stage. Good company and easy to deal with

I had a look. They don't seem to have them anymore
