Game.co.uk secretly adds £9.99 delivery charge to Xbox PlayStation pre orders...

GAME are scum and the sooner they're closed the better. The only shame would be the people working there being put of a job.

The new consoles will keep em going a bit longer, digital games are going to kill them off soon.

[GetGud]

Wow, 2020 is sure interesting, now we have to pay 10 bucks for delivery.

[kenpachi]

Sucks that Game is some people's only option they probably won't full fill most of the pre-order's

[waderae]

you are aware who owns GAME now right ? They are not the weak penniless strugglers of two years ago..

They will fulfill its orders, outside of Amazon they will have the next biggest allocation.

Sportsdirect wont muck about if Xbox stiff them, I used to work for both SD & GAME, one thing I know is SD are ruthless, they wouldn't think twice about dumping Xbox from front of store (that it currently) has to the back and pushing PS5+Switch heavy.... I mean they did it to NIKE once!

Don't get me wrong i dislike SD very much but they will not be pushed over by anyone.

Why though? Anything over a certain price they've always done free delivery

[BillyG0AT]

I that like the Covid fee that pubs are adding to the bill lol

[Jericho1337]

Hope this is a mistake, completely unnecessary for a purchase of this price.

[Hellcat2020]

Would an extra 10 really make someone change their mind on buying a ps5?

[EazyC]

No but it's a bit cheeky, they're just squeezing an extra few as pure profit as they offer free delivery usually.

[KillaJamm]

So after seeing this I just went and checked my order and no charges have been added? Pretty sure they have free delivery over a certain amount. I know it's only a tenner but it's a bit cheeky to say the least.

[Gamerking82]

Well they havent on my pre order.

Game are simply the worst games outlet in the UK, mugging customers off with overpriced games, trying to justify a higher price because of an 'exclusive' deal for a free crap weapons pack or skins. Their game prices are on average 10 to 15% higher than other retailers, their loyalty card is practically worthless unless you pay a premium. Now adding a £10 delivery charge on the sly.... that's why I will never shop there and ordered my series X from Smyths Toys. Check out Smyths Toys game preorder prices... usually at least £5 cheaper than Game. Sooner they go under the better.
