Totally useless

I tried three different cards from three different banks, this site does not accept any of them, stating and error. I was unable to buy gift card. No other online shopping site gives any error. Useless merchant. Avoid.

Poor preorder service

Poor preorder service. Expected it be delivered on release date and it was only dispatched late previous day. No tracking update info as mentioned only available when they are out for delivery which is not available today (release date). Order reached website on 2nd November yet still has not arrived on release date.

Hello Michael

Thank you for posting a new review, to replace your previous one, that we had replied to earlier today

We are happy to see that Royal Mail delivered your item to you, as we expected them to, today, on the items release date

Enjoy Zelda :)

pre-order is late..

pre-order is late..

I pre-order a game along time ago and they shipped it on the day before release... it's not a first class post so I knew I will not get it on the release date. ShopTo promises means nothing as they stated how important it is to receive games by the release date yet they shipped my order on a day before it releases when they had it in stock two days before release date.

Dishonest company and will never buy from them again.

Hello

The time before release date that you placed your preorder does not influence when your item will be shipped (as is denoted on our help page on our site)

All preorders were shipped, prior to the items release date (at the earliest time allowed by the publisher, in this instance Nintendo) so as to prevent any item being delivered prior to the items release date

Based on the number of preorders we shipped for this item, we can confirm that, as is always the case, for preorder items, the overwhelming majority of these items, have been delivered, as was expected & intended, on the items release date

If there was any large issue in relation to delivery of this or any other item, you would of course be able to see that, by virtue of reviews posted here, by disappointed customers,:this isnt the case for this item & our positive/five star reviews posted here, attest to our service & reliability, of course, we do not deliver the items ourselves, we rely upon the delivery carrier/service/method, you select, in the basket, while placing your preorder or order, to deliver the item in a timely manner.

We are sorry to read that, on this occasion, the delivery carrier/method you selected, has not. as yet delivered your item

As you have submitted an anonymous review, we cannot check what delivery carrier/method you selected as we are not able to check your account/order as you have provided no information to enable us to do so

Please refer to your shipping confirmation email for pertinent information & a delivery/tracking reference number/link for your items & its delivery method & carrier

Unauthorised Klarna purchases of Xbox gift cards – no account with ShopTo

I had two unauthorised purchases made on shopto.net using Klarna (one for £70 and one for £50, both Xbox gift cards). I have never created an account with ShopTo, never ordered from the site, and do not own the items. The orders appeared in my Klarna account and I received confirmation emails. When I contacted ShopTo, I received a standard response saying the payment was authorised by Klarna and that I should take it up with them. They offered no meaningful help or investigation on their side.

This appears to be a recurring issue based on other reviews mentioning the same pattern (unauthorised Klarna payments for Xbox gift cards with no prior account). I have reported the transactions to Klarna as identity theft / unauthorised. If you use Klarna, be careful with this retailer — especially for digital gift cards. I would not recommend relying on them if something goes wrong.

It seems anyone can buy without full registration and then try their luck to connect klarna without any authorisation

Hello

As is normal for ANY report of an unauthorised order, contacting the payment method used to place the order is the appropriate action to take initially, as, being the website/seller where the payment method was used (any order placed on our site is only accepted when authorised by the payment provider/method used) we cannot investigate or reach any conclusion as to whether a transaction or order was placed without your permission or knowledge, that is for the payment method to investigate & decide & whether any refund is due to you

As was commanded by the authorised order passed to us by the payment method, we would have provided the items that were ordered & thus, if these are/were digital items, as they would have been seen/collected/redeemed ie used, such items could not be returned to us, nor cancelled nor refunded

In accordance with our antifraud system that is linked to the payment method that was used, our site has already located & locked/blocked the account that was set up on our site, so as to prevent any further orders being able to be placed

If you are unhappy with how Klarna operates we recommend taking that up with them directly

Someone used your business to steal…

Someone used your business to steal £277 from me which they could only do because you have a zero refund policy! I will never buy from your business again, will advise anybody else not to buy from your business and would give zero stars if it was possible to do so!

Hello

We do not have a zero refund policy, however, if an order has been placed, on our site (that was authorised by your payment method) as commanded by the order passed to our site, we have provided the item(s) that were ordered, as per the order placed

If those items were digital items/codes & they have been provided/seen/entered/redeemed, these items are therefore used & would not be able to be returned as such an item could not be used by/sold to another customer (unlike, for example, an unused/unopened physical item that could be returned to us)

If there is an order, that you believe was not placed by yourself or any other person(s) that you allow to use your payment method, you should contact the support channel of the payment type that was used, to pass an authorised order to our site, to ask them to review/investigate/refund you for any order that you did not place/an order that was not placed with your knowledge or permission

In accordance with our score on this platform, we offer an exceptional service & value for money:your suggestion that they could only steal from you, because we have a zero refund policy is a conflation of two different subjects

It is for the payment provider to check & ascertain whether any unauthorised transactions have occurred, if, after reviewing any transactions you report to them, they conclude that an order placed via their payment method, was indeed a transaction not placed by you/without your knowledge or authority, they can refund you accordingly

If/when the payment method contacts ourselves, we will provide any pertinent info in relation to the order(s) placed, that were passed to us, by your payment method

Poor customer service

Absolutely appalling and unacceptable customer service from L Shopto!

The item arrived damaged, with visible puncture holes on the game casing. As instructed by L, I provided photographic evidence, only to receive absolutely no updates or communication whatsoever. I later discovered that the claim had been “rejected” by the supplier, without anyone bothering to update me.

After chasing this up, L assured me that he would raise the matter with the supplier and get back to me. I was subsequently informed that the warehouse team was willing to accept the item as damaged and arrange a collection. I even provided my contact number via email, yet once again, there was no follow-up or further communication.

I then emailed L to chase for an update, but unsurprisingly, received no response. I was left with no choice but to resort to live chat to get an update myself. During the live chat, he suddenly claimed that he would need to check with the warehouse team again to confirm whether they were willing to accept the damaged item. Excuse me, but wasn't I already assured via email that the warehouse team had agreed to accept the item as damaged and arrange a collection? His latest response completely contradicts the confirmation I had previously received in writing. Instead of providing a clear explanation for these conflicting messages, he simply said he would raise the matter with the relevant team again before abruptly ending the chat on me.

Quite frankly, this level of customer service is disgraceful. Why should customers have to constantly chase, follow up and practically beg for updates on an issue that should have been handled professionally from the very beginning?

The complete lack of communication, accountability and professionalism is beyond frustrating. ShopTo really needs to take a serious look at how customer complaints are being handled and review L's performance. Customers deserve far better than being ignored, given empty promises and having conversations abruptly terminated. Absolutely unacceptable!

EDIT TO YOUR RESPONSE

I was never asked whether I would agree to a replacement or refund in this case, and no communication was made to me regarding either option.

Yes, I have only just been contacted to arrange collection, following more than a week of chasing for an update, which I find completely unacceptable.

I do not wish to receive a replacement under the circumstances and would therefore appreciate a full refund instead.

Hello

Initially (When a member of our team contacted the fulfilment location/warehouse) the request for a replacement was not granted:this would have been notified to you, as per the reply we had received

Upon asking on a subsequent occasion, collection & replacement of the item has been agreed

The fulfilment centre will be in touch with you, by 'phone, to arrange collection of the item

Apologies for any inconvenience or confusion caused by the need to have to 'back & forth' with the fulfilment centre in relation to their view & decision on our request to have this item collected & replaced

In reply to your updated/edited review, should you not wish for a replacement item to be provided, following collection of your item, please contact our customer service team, to confirm that you would prefer a refund as opposed to a replacement item

No you did not get scammed through this place/by us & we do not appreciate defamatory statements

If you have received notification of an order that you believe was not placed by yourself/without your permission, you should contact the payment method that was used, to place any order, that the payment method authorised to our site

We will respond, to any communication, from your payment method, to provide any pertinent info in relation to the order placed

Should you wish to speak to a member of our team. you can do so, during our office opening hours, these are Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. & 5:00 p.m UK time

Posting swear words on our chat and replies including "i will spam google with bad reviews have a good day" & "i did 2 bad reviews and i will keep doing it people should be warned the adress on those purchases aint even where i live" & " i been scammed because somebody somehow got in and decided to buy giftcards and empty my bank, i have never bought giftcards. but i will continue to leave bad reviews u keep my money the damage from word of mouth will be far worse than my 140 pounds but it is okay have a nice day" suggests that, instead of taking on board the information & assistance that we have provided, you are labouring under the misapprehension that your details having been breached was something to do with our site

We are not responsible for any orders placed on our site, that were authorised by your payment provider/method & it is only your payment provider/method who can investigate and or refund you for any orders that they deem were placed not by yourself, so we suggest contacting the support channel of the payment method that was used to place any order

Informing us "and i will make sure my reviews make up some of my lost money" paints you in a very poor light, nevertheless, the information provided here & on our livechat channel is the correct way for such instances to be investigated, ie by your payment provider/method
