Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 70 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently describe receiving filthy, broken, or entirely non-functional consoles and accessories that completely fail to match what was originally ordered from the website. Buyers also experience extreme delivery delays lasting many weeks alongside completely unresponsive support teams that routinely ignore requests for helpful assistance or refunds. Some reviewers were happy with the helpful, professional communication provided by the team and successfully received their entire orders. A few customers additionally noted that certain retro products arrived nicely cleaned, fully authentic, and working perfectly for their gaming needs.

Company drop ships

I am an eBay seller and this company has purchased games from me to fulfill orders through their company site. That's fine (though something for potential Retro vGames customers to be aware of)
Today they opened a return request with me and wrote the return as though they were the customer having issues with the disc. This is disingenuous because I have dozens of orders from their eBay account where they are clearly fulfilling orders to different customers. I don't appreciate someone not shooting straight with me when I've fulfilled dozens of orders for their company and potential customers should be aware they may wait weeks if the eBay seller Retro vGames picks is not as diligent.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE

Avoid this company at all costs. I ordered an Xbox from them and it arrived smelling strongly of cigarette smoke, with bugs, broken controllers, scratched discs that wouldn’t read, missing games, and even completely wrong titles in the box. Their return process is a nightmare… they do everything they can to keep your money. Honestly, one of the worst customer experiences I’ve ever had. If you want working items and a sane return process, go with DKOLDIES instead… they actually deliver what they promise. Take this review seriously: don’t buy from here.

I ordered a SNES and game and controller. I paid for expedited shipping. They didn't follow through with that. Just sent me stuff whenever they got around to it. And then when I called them, they told me to call back after I receive my items so they could refund me my shipping
What's the point in paying for that and actually expecting them to follow through with it if they aren't. If I was you I find another spot to get my stuff. Hoping my stuff actually shows up

Don't waste your money

I bought Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, and 32gb SD card. Packaged very poorly.. Just very thin layer of bubble wrap and a thin plastic envelope. No box. No packaging to support transport, minus VERY THIN layer of bubble wrap.. Website said the system was refurbished. Absolutely false. The screen is very flimsy, and the volume button slides down by itself. The system is extremely dirty.... Covered in dirt and finger prints all over. The system does start up and play games. Thats why im giving 2 stars. But Absolutely will NOT be buying from here again....

I ordered a ps1 bundle with ff7 and ff8. First I received the box with only the system cords and 1 controller. The games were not in the package. The system should have included 2 controllers but it only had one, and it was not in good condition. I emailed them and they shipped a ff7 and ff8 separately. The ad showed black label versions, the ff8 was a greatest hits version, and the ff7 came in a black dvd case.

Not impressed with this company and will not use again.

Don’t make the same mistake I did and not research them first. I’ve seen multiple complaints similar to mine.

I should've listened to the reviews but I didn't know it'd be this hard to ship 1 singular disc . I've been trying to get ahold of this company for two days now not only did they send my game way past the expected shipping I payed for they SENT THE GAME TO THE WRONG ADDRESS IN OREGON AND I LIVE IN ARIZONA. I double checked all my order confirmation and it states it's to be delivered to Arizona not OREGON. This company now won't even bother to get back to me about a refund or replacement so now I have to contact my bank and explain how hard they made this and hopefully I get my money back. PS I've also never been too or lived in Oregon in my entire life.

Awful Privacy Practices

Unless you are ok with sending a copy of your ID and credit card in an unencrypted email (which no one should be ok with), a purchase cannot be completed.

Avoid this vendor at all costs - the fraud risk is way too high, and they are clueless about proper privacy and information handling.

If I wanted to shop on Ebay, I would have went there

From the rest of the 1 stars, very similar experience. Shipping took twice as long as advertised, had to contact support for a tracking number. As people have pointed out, nothing in their store is stocked, they take orders and fufil them through ebay, and then sell to you. Actually disgraceful scam, scummy practices that I will not be participating in again

I ordered a game and when I didn't…

I ordered a game and when I didn't receive anything from them, I reached out and they said they had no record of my order in their system. They asked me for the order number and that order belonged to someone with a different name. They then sent me an email thanking me for my order and apologized that I received the wrong product. They didn't even read my email. They just sent some BS response. I called them out on that and the guy apologized for their "computer error". BS. Scam.

Terrible shipping, misleading business

I ordered a single disc based game from them. They tossed it in a bubble mailer without any extra protection. It was literally just a bare disc bouncing around in the mailer. It's a miracle the USPS didn't shatter it.
