Pre-orders

Pre-orders

We are offering pre-orders for some of the upcoming releases. This way, you can secure a copy of a game before it has been released. In turn,  it helps us to estimate the demand for these games.

During the last couple of weeks we’ve received some questions how we handle these pre-orders, so here are the most important points:

Price: We can only list a game for pre-order once we know its price. But often we’ll get the prices from one of our European suppliers. Once the game is released in the UK, the price can occasionally be lower than originally estimated. In this case, we’ll always charge the cheaper price.

Release Dates: For each game available for pre-order we list an estimated release date (see the pre-order label on the box image and at end of the game description). These dates are estimates and delays are not uncommon. If there are any lengthy delays, we promise to keep you informed.

Payment: When you pre-order a game, you only need to pay once the game becomes available. To do this, please choose the special pre-order payment option during the checkout process:

Payment options during checkout

As soon as all games of a pre-order are available, we will send out a payment request to you. Hence, you pay for pre-orders when the game is actually available and not weeks or months in advance.

Shipping: Shipping costs are as straight forward as with any other order. Shipping is £4.95 per order. If the order value reaches £100, shipping is free. If you would like to arrange for a part-delivery of already available games, we have to charge £4.95 for each additional parcel.

Mixed orders: When a pre-order is mixed with already available games or other games on pre-order, we will ship the whole order once all the games are in stock. If you would like existing products or pre-order games with an earlier release date to arrive earlier, please place a separate order. If you are happy to receive your order as a single delivery, we’ll reserve all games for you until the whole order can be shipped.

Changes/Additions: As long as you have choosen the “Pre-Order/Waiting for restock”-payment option you can easily change your order or add more games to your order by sending us an email. We will change your order and email you the payment request when your order is ready to be shipped.

We hope this answers the most common questions. However, if you have more, please feel free to contact us.
