Awful! Like many others, I soon found that items shown as ‘In Stock’ are actually NOT IN STOCK AT ALL! Any company which - right up-front- consistently LIES to it’s customers about items’... See more

Bought few items from them online

Bought few items from them online, had good experience. Received my items that were available on site on time. Some items are on Back Order, and thats hwy people may be complaining, but I had a back order which took couple of weeks which is expected, but it has now been sent out. Thanks Triple Helix and Catherine AA

Ordered mother of dragons box for soiaf…

Ordered mother of dragons box for soiaf miniatures game in 27th November for a Xmas present for my son. Paid using Apple Pay so it all went through quickly. Box was in stock listed as only 2 left. Did not get a confirmation email. Checked credit card and money had been taken. It’s now the 8th December item has not arrived no response to my emails or telephone calls. Sent email through their website as well no reply. Zero communication. Looking at these other positive reviews I doubt they are real because there is zero communication when I just needed confirmation that this had gone through correctly. Website says 48hr delivery if item is in stock! Interestingly they now list the item as last one left! Don’t buy from them

No communication

I ordered item that wasn't in stock and I was supposed to be informed of status after 2 weeks if not shipped.
Week after order I emailed to check if they know anything with no reply. Week later I asked them to update me about the order as promised on the website and had no answer. Next day I was trying to call the shop and nobody was answering the phone. Next day I called again and messaged on fb. I got reply on fb that the stock is coming that week and I will receive it late that week or early next. On Friday same week I asked for update and they haven't received stock yet, I replied asking for date when they will get the stock.
Next week I messaged, called and emailed for 3 days with no response. On the third day I got told the stock is delayed till December.
I do not recommend this shop at all. There is no communication and customer service is very poor. Save yourself time and trouble and order from somewhere else.

My experience

Made an order, unaware of the bad reviews. Got an email confirming the order and a few days went by and I called to see what was happening as I hadnt had any other communication about it being dispatched. Both phone numbers always went to voicemail and I never got a call back. I emailed and received no reply. Finally, after a week I got a dispatch email and my order arrived a couple of days later. I won't be using them again. There is zero communication and I wonder how they're still in business.

Thought I’d take a chance on this…

Thought I’d take a chance on this seller to buy a case of mtg products. I was a bit worried at first given the negative reviews but after reaching out to Steve my mind was put at ease and I was assured they’d have the products and that these reviews were just a small minority. I did explain at the time that I needed as close to a guarantee as possible given that if I took the chance with him despite the feedbacks I wouldn’t have an opportunity to purchase said products elsewhere come launch as they were selling out. I was informed that they were only showing products that were ‘in stock and ready to ship’ so with that in mind and being somewhat hopeful I decided to give them a shot. 2 days following the release I had still not received any confirmation of shipping and this is where my fears were realised. After direct messaging twice online (each a day apart) I was finally informed that my order was not going to be fulfilled. Absolutely devastated as this was a product I’d been looking forward to receiving more than I have any other in a long long time. I really wanted this to work out and am so sad that it didn’t. To that end, I can’t recommend this company and it would appear the previous negative feedbacks were justified.

Very poor service

My first time placing an order with them, and unfortunately my last. Customer service non-existent. They DO NOT reply to emails.
I paid extra for First Class Tracked postage. They instead posted 48hr Tracked but didn't supply me a tracking number. When I eventually got an email from Royal Mail and I used tracking number on it, it showed the company hadn't posted the parcel when they said they had. Not a way to get repeat custom.... there are plenty of other very good model suppliers out there.

My first order

I treated to myself to some hobby and paid a little extra for fast delivery.

Not impressed at all. I got some of it late, had some of it cancelled for me, at least i got a nice story of how it is GWs fault.

Order from somewhere else.

Great Service!

Bought from them several in the past and all my experiences have been positive!

They have pretty much the best deals out there for Games Workshop Products.

Excellent service

Excellent service, the staff at Triplehelix have always been very helpful with any of my queries, and always easy to get hold of, quick to resolve any issues and keeping me up to date with my orders through the online account order status. I quite often make very large orders and they are always happy to accommodate these. Thanks again to all at Triplehelix.

Excellent products and service

Excellent products and service. Even though there was a mistake with the order they put it right immediately and allowed us to keep the item that had been dispatched incorrectly. That is good customer service.

Good prices and customer service

Good prices and very good customer service. Spent a while on the phone to Tracy going through an order I had to amend. It eventually became clear that I wouldn't get the products in time so cancelled the order ultimately, but impressed with how everything was dealt with.

Thank you for leaving a Trustpilot review. It is always a shame when an order needs to be cancelled, however I am glad to hear that the issue was resolved to your satisfaction. We look forward to seeing you again in our online ship.

Like previous reviewers

Like previous reviewers, I pre-ordered a box set from them for a GW release, saving around £30
The product was still available on GW when I pre-ordered, It came to the Monday after release and I looked at my account which said back ordered, GW don't do re prints very often so I knew then it wasn't coming, got in touch, got told I'd get a refund which then took a week to go back to paypal.
I wont touch them again for anything and neither will the friends I've told about the horror story

I am sorry to hear that your experience with our website was unsatisfactory. We are limited to the number of new releases we can get from Games Workshop. Once we have sold our available stock customers can order these releases on back order and we will endeavour to get more stock as soon as possible.
On this occasion the item had sold out completely and for this reason a choice of full refund or discount code was offered.

Once a refund has been processed we unfortunately have no control over the speed of said refund. In most cases a refund clears within 48 hours, however PayPal and banks will sometimes have delays due to fraud checks for example.

When there are any issues with an order we will always contact the customer and work to reach a solution that is to their satisfaction. If you do decide to benefit from our low prices for a future order then we look forward to assisting you.

Love these guys

Great service. Really friendly staff and the cheapest consistent prices I've found anywhere.

I've also been really impressed by the fairness and transparency from their 2nd hand buying service.

Granted they could probably carry more stock and be open longer but this would more than likely impact their ability to price so low so its a small price to pay, and one I'm more than happy with.

I've seen negative reviews about delays to orders and lack of stock. The information for THW's business model is right at the top of their homepage. If people read this first instead of just seeing savings there'd be less grumpy people complaining about their own inability to read instructions

Thank you for your review.

We are always listening to our customers and have now introduced a Ready To Ship section to our website. This means customers who are in a hurry for their items (as birthday gifts for example) can choose products that we can ship out that same day.

We put as much information as possible in our FAQ section and the terms & conditions page. If a customer has any concerns about their order or would like to know when it is due to be shipped out then we welcome an email or phone call.

RE: Selling items not in stock, seduced by the low prices

RE: Selling items not in stock, seduced by the low prices
Absolutely gutted that I have just found out that the order I placed on the day of release, will not be mine.
I have very limited budget now and ordered the Imperial Knight detachment on the day of release. (This was partly my fault as I didn't see the small print about a back order).
So instead of saving £25 it will now cost me an extra £40 now as this item is not available in any store.
My fault also by being seduced by the low prices as I missed out of getting this item from my normal online stores and now even sold out online in GW.
If their defence they did email every step of the way but didnt receive any information as I have a hotmail account.

Gutted

Prices Gone Up

Used to love using Triple Helix Wargames tomorder Games Workshop stuff but they’ve now put their prices up, to the point on some items you’re only saving 50p. Never had a bad experience but when you’re looking to purchase from them to save money, 50p against what you used to save of £3/£4 an item just doesn’t cut it
