“I was dubious at first, the game I wanted was £11 on Steam and £5 on Origin but only £2.99 on Gamers247. There was no option for PayPal at checkout which made me think scam. After a bit of investigation I decided to go for it and they even gave me an extra 10% discount at checkout! After checking out 5mins later the code was sent via e-mail with full instructions on how to redeem. Will definitely use them again and would recommend them too.”
Its actually because we have been scammed by Paypal and its users so many times that we no longer accept it as a payment method. We are happy though that you decided to go ahead with your purchase and had a positive experience Keir, have fun gaming :)
“The service was average, the game / code came quick enough but the member of staff I emailed with a concern couldn't of been less helpful and didn't have a professional attitude he just simply stated .. "I font know what you mean"
Probably won't use again”
So the service was 'average' as you claim and yet you leave a 1 star review, which is a contradiction.
Also the email you sent us was;
"I clicked on the link to view digital content and it showed a blank page, I can no longer find this button."
We still have no idea what that means and instead of clarifying what you meant you decide to leave a 1 star review. How are we supposed to help you when we don't know what the problem is ?
There was nothing unprofessional about our reply we keep the emails short and to the point to avoid confusion and because we have to deal will lots of customers.
“After the initial learning curve from a total noobie of the trials and tribulations of downloading my first ever online game "Bejeweled 3", I'd have to say it was worth the long wait as the game is now hard to put down, I've been playing it for hours and hours on end and I totally love "The Diamond Mine" which I just cannot stop myself from playing, its excellent
Thank you Gamers247 for selling me the game in the first place, oh and the price of under 3£3.00 was just brilliant :-)”
Thanks for the review Andy. Despite the unwarranted 1 star reviews we have received of late we intend to keep going because we know there are people out there like yourself that appreciate our service :)
“I brought the wrong item and you wouldn't refund even though I emailed before I received the code then you replied as soon as I received the code saying that you can't refund as the code had already been sent. I also said that I wouldn't use it as I already had it and you still didn't give me a refund.”
We aim to process all orders as quickly as possible prior to replying to any emails received. Telling us you won't use a key doesn't mean anything as there is no way to verify that. We have a clearly stated refund policy which is available to read beforehand, by purchasing from us you accept that. The buyer has openly admitted the mistake is entirely theres and yet gives us a 1 star review.
“So I sit here experiencing a back and forth of condescending dismissive emails from this sites staff. I just want my money back but it appears that is not something these people wish to do, although I am within 30 hours of my failed purchase, have not redeemed any keys and just not able to use their third party download service. Beware probably not a site to deal with if you want customer service and not to be robbed.”
We have evidence to show that the buyer has in fact claimed the games contrary to what she has posted here. We also have numerous emails from the buyer where she verbally abuses our customer support rep, unfortunately these emails are too vulgar to post here.
“Well purchased almost £30 worth of games to download yesterday but still have no access to Steam to download them with repeated messages that I don't have an account, this while signed into account and money taken. Not impressed. want my money back but apparently that is too much to ask. If I spend anymore time seeking customer service that offers redress and or refund I will spend more time reporting this site to whomever I can and yes I will expect my money back. Sort it out”
“First time I had purchased from Gamers247 and am very happy with my Corel Painter Essentials 5. Was the cheapest price online and I received the download code very quickly. Will definitely return! Thank you!”
“Cool site with some great bargains to be found. Loads of different and quite unique options and lists for finding games. I LOVE the 'best of' by year group categories!”
Thanks for the review Ray, unlike other stores we try to provide different options for discovering new games because we ourselves are Gamers so we are glad you loved the Top Games section :)
“best price (with 10% extra discount) on painter essentials 5 but no information on how to download it (even though email suggests that there is). Eventually found out that the activation code needs to be put into the serial number box and NOT in the activation box on the corel window.”
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and if you ever need further help with downloading/activating a product all you need do is contact our support :)
“Download and installation went without a hitch, account setup and sign in nice and straightforward. And the game was received promptly, and is working well.”
“Great, cheap games. When i had a small problem they sorted it out straight away. Excellent service. The keys for the games were delivered within 5mins of my purchase & download from Steam started without a hitch. I`ll definitely use these again & I`ll let my family & friends know wher to shop in future.”
“Brilliant and quick service. I was a little worried when, after I paid, it said it would take a few minutes for confirmation as I thought I had been "duped" by a spam site - couldn't be further from the truth! Within 10 minutes I had the key activation code and was playing my game AND it was cheaper than Origin!
Amazing.”
