Anyone ordered online from Another World?

[RLench]

If so, what are they like?

I've heard some bad things about them in the past, but they're the only place I've seen selling what I want (and it's a good price )

So...good? Bad?


If they are bad online...does anyone live near their store? If so would you be able to go in and buy what I'm after? Obviously I'll pay in full before you buy it (and chuck in an extra ?5 for your efforts )

Thanks

i live 15mins from a branch pm me if you need something from there id be happy to buy it for you

[RLench]

Thanks for the kind offer

I wouldn't be ordering before Christmas anyway - serious lack of available money atm - so I'll let you know what it is I'm after when I can order it.
It's nothing big, really. Just a T Shirt, a soundtrack CD and litle bits of game merchandise

I'll PM you this week to arrange payment

I've ordered online before, a couple of years ago, and they delivered quickly and efficiently.

[nick_the_judge]

[RLench]

Ok thanks nick_the_judge

The main thing I wanted was this CKY shirt in size XL

Used them once about a couple of years ago and I won't use them again. ft:

Ordered Dreamcast Space Channel 5 Part 2 from them @ ?55 only for it turn up in a terrrible state (covered in scratches) At that price I was expecting it to be NEW, or at least mint condition. (there's no mention on their site whether something is used or not)

I also know they charged someone else I know almost ?480 for Yu Suzuki Gameworks Vol.1 "by mistake"

Ive ordered 3 times online and never received any of the orders, most the stuff they used to advertise wasnt in stock.

Also when i have used there shop(s) alot of there new games are covered in surface scratches.

Another World are one of the worst import shops in the UK. Totally unreliable, and as has been mentioned, the quality of some of their 2nd hand goods is highly variable.

same here, I placed an order and heard nothing from them.

I phoned up a couple of days later and was told they were having trouble stocking what I'd ordered, and that I'd receive confirmation one way or another in a couple more days. I never heard back from them.

One word: avoid.

[Kron]

Same here, Ordered and recieved nothing and they don't even bother to contact you.

Completely useless.

[mr-monday]

I've ordered from them a couple of times and not had a problem.

[MartyG]

Same here, Ordered and recieved nothing many years ago before I knew where I should be buying games from.

With ref to the scratty disc... nearly everything in the shop games wise is scratched....
And they try to parm u off with any old ****....My mate brought MGS pal .. and when he got home realised that they had sold him the spanish version.....

I've had good and bad experiences. In my experience nothing ordered online has ever arrived, I have to phone them up every time so that they can check that the items are in stock (they're shocking for advertising loads of stuff that isn't in stock)

They've sent me used games when they've advertised as new, but once I started phoning them rather than trusting their website they've been pretty good.
