How is £45 cheap?

They are claiming the order was sent on the 1st... I spoke to Royal Mail told them the story that only house number, city and post code were present, Royal Mail stated that it would still be delivered with these details

Simply are claiming dispatch, although I am not entirely sure I believe them now

Yes they took my money when I placed the pre order (when you posted the deal) but I have seen nothing from them

They are saying it's my fault for not putting all address information, which I don't believe I would have done (not done) and are putting responsibility onto me, however after speaking to Royal Mail I am having serious doubts about them

They hardly respond to emails, yet are happy to spam my email address with offers and asking me to rate them on trust pilot (not a good idea atm lol)

Just very disappointed generally with the situation really, but not much I can do other than escalating my case to a claim in PayPal, I just hope PayPal with side with me seeing as they have no proof of posting in the first instance

so how does the situation currently stand? they say your address was not complete, so was your order sent or not? I am assuming they took payment

I will Simply never use this company again, still nothing received my end, sent a total of 4 emails which they only responded to 1 claiming I didn't provide a full address (which is simply not possible as you select from a list of address's)

The cynical side of me is wondering if they never sent my game at all and since they have raised the price by £10 now they have sold it to someone else

If they expect me to go away quietly they can forget it, I already raised a grievance (not sure if this is correct term) within PayPal and will take it through to a full claim if they continue with being unhelpful and / or not even bothering to reply to me

Just trying to appease current situation to try n save kids disappointment :disappointed:
Can I suggest checking for stock at your local Argos shops as Argos credit card gives 3 months to pay when spending over £50 and the game is £54.99

If only it were that easy, I don't have the additional funds available to simply (no pun intended) go out and buy another one

I have never used this company before and I am sure they are perfectly fine, it was a great price and deal, hence why I left heat and ordered

Just sharing the disappointment we now have because the game has not arrived

It doesn't help that I can't even reach customer services until monday either

In that case can I suggest going to a shop and buying one, then if your online order shows up return that one to the shop

Still not received my game from them :disappointed: Kids not happy with me, new console and no game here

No reply to my emails as of yet

Sorry to hear also. My copy just came in today's post

:disappointed:

Sorry to hear that - ultimately it's Royal Mail's fault, rather than Simply Games, but clearly that doesn't make it any less disappointing. Hopefully it'll arrive with you tomorrow - it certainly *should* do, given that the games are sent by First Class delivery (so should be rights have arrived yesterday or today).

launch day is here and my pre ordered copy of the game is not :disappointed:

first time I used this company, perhaps the last

Amazon order has gone from release day delivery to the 7th... Knew I should've ordered elsewhere!
They even assured me via live chat that it'd be delivered today when I checked yesterday evening...

Thanks op, ordered

Well there attitude form hem was terrible as th response was I should have paid £5 for delivery.

I'm very doubtful they even sent it cause they contradicted themselves twice on datesnh shipped it and also I was getting all my other mail perfectly fine. Never had any issues from amazon, game, ShopTo with free delivery. The fav it was a pre order as well just made it worse and the refuel unto
Even do anything till 14 days had passed only to wait for a refund so about 20 days out of pocket money.

Lesson learned though but it's good some people do t have any issues.

I tried simply games once and the game didn't arrived and I had such hassle form then I had to wait over 2 weeks after launch and had to make a few complaints before they would refund me. then I got well because you didn't pay £5 for delivery thats why my game went missing.

not worth the headache to try them again its only a few pounds saving.

At this time it's the best price you can get it. So heat. Lucky enough to use the free £10 amazon prime thanks code the other month which took this down to £40 for me. Can't wait until Friday.

I was a bit concerned about getting the Persona 5 special edition shipped to work before I decided to just cancel the order... Being embarrassed about a regular game, though?... Seriously?

gonna wait until the Zelda Switch bundle comes out, I can wait ;-)

​i kicked off at them as they were ready to charge me £48 instead of £40. they sorted that but not dispatch date. complained again. now it's due to distance on 1st march to arrive for 3rd March.

The discount disappeared because it was£10 off £50, so say Zelda was £49.99 and if your add-on item was under £2.01. When the price changed to £48 it took people below the £50.
But at least they sorted it out.

I went to pre order with tesco and they were saying delivery on the 6th March

It shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of - games are becoming an ever more mainstream form of media.

Also, for personally-addressed packages, the post handling team may be quite likely to pass it on to the addressee unopened - depending of course upon how your organisation works.

Doesn't feel like a good deal to me but Switch hype!!

The f**k!? I'd be too embarrassed to have a videogame shipped to my place of work for one.

I noticed that my price had increased and the discount had disappeared from the order so I got in contact with them, they have re-added the discount again. Still not sure on the dispatch, but as it happens I'm going to be busy on the Friday so won't get to play until Saturday anyway.

Same! So hyped. Was quite a few weeks ago though.

Amazon don't have any more physical stock for release day present.

Don't think I'll take the risk.. It's only a few quid more in Smyths and I can pick it up at midnight with my Switch :smile:

Thanks

Incredible people are having a hissy fit regarding not receiving said game at launch but rather...the very next day. Some even expecting/hoping to procure said game BEFORE March 3rd. Get a grip you lot.

Mine has changed to say no date can be given

Could be worse... I could be this guy;

I've intentionally kept my gaming slate clean due to this and Mass Effect coming out in March, so I'm not about to start playing something else at this point. Sure I can do other stuff, but It's a Zelda game ffs... They're not exactly annual occurances like your CoDs or Battlefields! Allow me to be a bit excited about a massive event in my main hobby!

The 3rd is also a Friday and I'm getting it delivered to a work address, so if I don't get it on Friday, I miss out on a weekend of gaming.

I always order from simply games. Most of the time I get the game 2-3 days before release.

whats the rush though? may as well save a fiver and in those few extra days waiting, just do something else, a hobby, another game, film, book etc etc

£45 :confused: I don't think I've ever paid that for a game.

​they just changed mine to speed up for launch and have cocked up the dispatch date now to the 3rd to get here for the 4th. that and charged me £8 more on top as they haven't taken the £10 discount off for Amazon day

How is £45 cheap?

Bit more like it. Won't this come down to around 35 quid though once all early adopters of the switch have the game?

I can't wait to play this :smiley: I got mine for £38 from Amazon.

I made a bad call as well. I wish I had pre-ordered. Unfortunately, as a student, I can't justify spending £45 on a game but that seems to be the only option, especially as Nintendo games hold price. I hope my luck will change. It's always the case that Nintendo always print few copies to keep costs down.

ordered, thanks o.p.

Amazon emailed me to say my order had been upgraded to release day delivery. If you don't have this email then I wouldn't assume anything

Completely ignore that "will arrive on the 4th"
Its just an automated system being stupid....it will arrive on launch day :smile:

I've had two preorders with simply games in the past. First one didnt show, enquired and it was never sent as they didnt get any stock. 2nd time after giving them the benefit of the doubt, same thing.

Never again.

​Mine changed to 4th too. I was bloody fuming so I've cancelled it

4th here too recently changed :/

for £34 that must be a voucher and prime discount. minesis sitting at £46 at present as I have prime discount on it.

I was hoping it would drop to around £40- 42 like Mario kart 8 deluxe , theres still time I suppose.
.

£46 from Amazon for me, at least I know it's coming day one though.

thats a nice little steal you got there wish I had managed to get in on that £10 voucher , but £46 is better than £60 quid form other places.

Is yours not £48 now then or?



I got the £10 off order over £50.
Then it dropped £2, and also the prime £2. They also messed the order up so I got £2 extra back.

​why is it 34? I've had mine pre-ordered since day one and it's still nearly 50

That's a shame :disappointed: Mine is currently at £34 with Amazon just wondering if it would drop anymore.

Wonder is Amazon will price match? Hmm!
