This is the worst company you can buy…

This is the worst company you can buy from! Do yourself a favour and avoid buying anything from them. 1 month after buying alpha mini, which they had in stock, i still dont have the item. They wont contact the shipping company to find out whats going on and send you automated answers or lies. Worst company and worst customer service.

Dear Keit

We sincerely apologize for the challenges you've faced with the delivery of your Alpha Mini. Alexander has consistently kept you informed about the developments, and we appreciate your patience.

To express our gratitude for your understanding and the delay caused by our supplier, we shipped a free Simplace floormat on the 9th of January, which did arrive well. However, we share your disappointment in the recent delivery delay due to adverse weather conditions in Germany.

Unfortunately, external factors like weather conditions are beyond our control, but we assure you that we are actively monitoring the situation and doing our best to expedite the delivery.

We understand your frustration, and we remain committed to ensuring a positive resolution. If you have any further concerns or questions, please contact our customer service team, and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your understanding.

ATTENTION - N'expédient pas les commandes

ATTENTION : Montant prélevé directement sur le compte bancaire mais n'envoient pas le produit.
Annoncé en stock expédié le jour même, toujours rien au bout de deux semaines.
Quand on leur écrit ils disent que ça part les prochains jours. En fait ils créent un bon d'envoi DHL mais ne remettent pas le colis.
Commande d'un Simagic Alpha Mini + QR passée le 12/01/2024, toujours pas expédiée. J'ai demandé le remboursement ce jour.

Je reviendrai ici pour vous informer de la suite.

De plus, ils n'apparaissent pas dans les revendeurs officiels chez Simagic...
--------------------------
ATTENTION: Amount taken directly from the bank account but the product is not sent.
Advertised as being in stock and dispatched the same day, but still nothing after two weeks.
When we write to them they say it will leave in the next few days. In fact they create a DHL delivery note but do not send the parcel.
Ordered a Simagic Alpha Mini + QR on 12/01/2024, still not dispatched. I requested a refund today.

I'll come back here to let you know what happens.

What's more, they don't appear in Simagic's official stockists...

2 months wait and no honesty.

This company is unbelievable.

I ordered a shifter plate a few days before black friday. It cost me 20 euros + 20 euros shipping costs, which is just insane if you take the wait into account.

I have emailed the company 3 times, and 3 times they told me 'it will be shipped at the end of the week'. They still haven't even shipped it yet, it has been 2 months since I ordered.

I get that it has been busy, but clear communication (and not lying to your customers) is key here.

Dear Ozzy,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your order, and we appreciate your understanding. We want to provide some clarity regarding the situation.

Our team was actively working to resolve unforeseen challenges related to rapidly changing shipping costs. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, the substantial increase in shipping expenses made it financially unfeasible for us to fulfill your order without incurring a significant loss.

We understand the frustration and disappointment this may have caused, especially considering the investment in simulation gear. This decision was not taken lightly, and we deeply regret any inconvenience it has caused you.

As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to offer you a special discount on any future orders you may consider with us. Our customer service team is available to assist you in exploring alternative solutions or addressing any specific concerns you may have.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding of the challenges we faced. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for further assistance.

Kind regards,

Team Simplace

good prices and fast delivery

Got a decent deal on the Honeycomb Bravo. Delivery was super quick especially with my order being placed on the 11th of December and arriving on the 14th. All in all quite happy with SimPlace.
A note for UK customers, remember VAT isn't included in your purchase, so we pay that when it arrives, a nice touch was that SimPlace used UPS who let me pay at the door rather than delay delivery.

Dishonest seller

Ordered a product in stock, shipping was to be in 1 day. It actually took 11 days just for the shipping. In addition, as it was pretty urgent to receive the product, I paid for a UPS express delivery. They took the money but send it as a normal delivery and out of ups and didn’t reimbursed.
15 days after order, still didn’t received my order.

Failed to supply xmas order - dishonest comms

Placed a Christmas order and they took the money quickly. I then received 10's of emails - despite the first email says they wouldn't SPAM me! Then nothing. They are hard to contact, but eventually I got an email reply to my chasing efforts after 2 weeks for an update. Lots of assurances that they are just dealing with Black Friday backlogs, but rest assured it will be despatched in plenty time for Xmas. Then still nothing, so I chase again, which is followed up by more assurances. Then I chase again having heard nothing and given a promise of a dispatch by the following Monday. When I hear nothing I chase again and get an update saying they are experiencing courier issues and I will get a tracking ID on Wednesday for guaranteed delivery by following day - relief at last, or so I thought. Less than 24 hours later they tell me they can't fulfil my order after all until the new year. With just 3 days to Xmas I am now scrambling to find my sons Christmas present from somewhere else.

Maybe SIMPLACE.co are having genuine issues with their delivery company, but they have not been honest with me from the start. Be wary of doing business with these folk, because they have shown little trust they can honour their promises.

My "Honest" review.

By Now We’re Guessing Your Sim Gear Is All Set Up (Its not) & You’ve Had The Chance To Take It For A Spin (I haven't)!

Ordered on the 5th of October '23, received an email on the 9th "Our supplier provided misleading information regarding the pedals' availability at the time of your purchase". Ironically the only reason i ordered from Simplace is because they showed them as in stock. Interestingly, Simplace are now showing them in as back in stock (2 available), but to date (17/10/23), I haven't heard anything from Simplace.

I will revisit this review at a later date...

It's is now a later date... 29 Oct 23.

Simplace made good on delivery, I contacted them via chat on their website and I was informed what was happening next and when to expect the order to be dispatched and the order did in fact land on my doorstep 4 days later... Even though the address didn't match that of the shipping address nor the billing address 🤔 thankfully I'm a dhl account holder and I know the driver well, so he knew where to go even with the error.

The downside to date is the delivery of the order remains incomplete, I was informed on the 24th the remaining part of the order would be shipped out to me. As of yet I ha ent had any further information regarding this. I'm fairly confident they will make good on this also.

Even with the hiccups, it's been a relatively smooth experience with Simplace. I wouldn't have any issues ordering from them in the future, even if they don't send me a free simplace coffee mug.
