One happy child!

Smooth transaction with no issues, good communication and pre-order game arrived day before release date - happy days!

Ordered not recieved and no response from support

Absolute mess of a company, preorder my FIFA 22 copy weeks in advance, received one email that it has been discharged, on day 7 from intended date of delivery, no sight of the order, and no response to emails, no other way to contact this sham of a company.

I will be giving it 7 more days as advised by my bank, then will dispute the transaction.

PLEASE DON'T ORDER from them to save a little money, not worth it.

Fast delivery

Fast delivery, pre-ordered Farcry 6 and it came a day early. Was a bit sceptical buying from them as they are much cheaper than other companies, but would definitely use them again! Thanks :)

Bad customer service above all

I've not received my Fifa 22 game despite ordering over 2 weeks in advance. I have contacted customer service numerous times with no response.

It's disappointing when there is no contact number, but if this is the case you should be responding to emails.

I would like to know the refund policy as it's been over 5 working days since it was "dispatched." In the past Royal Mail have had no issues delivering within 1-2 days, so why is it that with your service a great deal have experienced significant delays on a pre-release item?

Please provide some sort of response, as it's really upsetting not being able to gift someone as you'd planned, especially given it was a PRE-RELEASE item, and many other retailers have delivered in time

Embarassing

Genuinely so embarrassing. Imagine this is your response in 2021

"As mentioned, I can see that we did ship this out in enough time for it to arrive on release day so it appears that your order has been caught in a delay with the postal service, I'm sorry about this! This is why we are unable to guarantee delivery on release day as this is something that is beyond our control. "

First time buyer, not again

First time buyer, not again…

Pre ordered fifa 22 a month ago. Was emailed to be told it had been dispatched as first class on Wednesday. (Release date was a Friday). It’s Now Sunday and still nothing. You are not provided any tracking details so have no idea where it is, if it’s on its way or if it’s lost. I assume as it’s Sunday it will not be here until next week. Very disappointed in my first purchase here and only with a monumental act of customer service would I think of returning here.

Hi there!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us some feedback! I am so sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your experience with us!

We send out all pre-orders with Royal Mail in First Class post to ensure that the game arrives as quickly as possible however sadly this is not a tracked service. Usually this service should take between 1 - 2 days to arrive however we can never guarantee this in case of any delays within the postal service, which are beyond our control. I am so sorry if any delays have affected the arrival time of your order!

If you haven't already, please do drop us an email to support@gamebyte.com with your order number! We will be more than happy to take a look into this further for you!

Once again, I am so sorry about the wait!

Please feel free to get in touch if you wish to discuss this further or if there is anything else that we can help you with!

Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant service

Absolutely brilliant service. Ordered fifa 22 pre order, got a little worried as the price was much lower than other sites. I emailed the support email and received lovely emails back. My product arrived in pristine condition on the day of release. I would highly recommend Game byte and will be using them again soon

Definitely recommended.

First time buyer from here. I made an account, ordered Watch Dogs Legion early morning, it was despatched on the same day and arrived the following day. Price was the cheapest I could find on the Internet. Can't really ask for much more. 5 Stars. I'll be buying a lot more from Gamebyte in the future.

Very good and easy transaction. Delivery was fast with no issues, and the price was very good compared to other sites selling the same new Fifa 22 game.

What’s the point in pre-ordering if you…

What’s the point in pre-ordering if you don’t get the game on day of release? So many people saying they got their Fifa 22 early. I’m sure I’m going to hear the excuse that it’s Royal Mail at fault but it’s simply not good enough. Other bigger providers are getting games out on time with tracking information I’ll stick with them next time. Small business mentality here, very unlikely to use again poor first impression.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback!

I am so sorry to hear that you have not enjoyed your experience with us and that your game did not arrive in time for release day.

All pre-orders for Fifa 22 were dispatched on time however we never guarantee that orders will arrive on release day in case of any external factors that are beyond our control, such as any delays within the postal service. I'm so sorry that this has affected your order, I appreciate how frustrating this must be for you!

We ship games out using First Class post with Royal Mail which is not a tracked service however we use this in order to get games delivered as fast as possible.

Once again, I apologise for any upset or disappointment caused! Please don't hesitate to get back in touch with us if you wish to discuss this further or if there is anything else that we can help you with!

Thanks!
