Simply put, do not order through this site unless you want to wait 2 weeks plus.

I have ordered 3 games over the past 12 months with them, and not one of those games has arrived within 10 working days, or 2 weeks (if you add weekends).

Still waiting for a game I ordered 2 Wednesday's ago (11 working days now) and I wouldn't expect the next 2-3 days either.

Delivery times from these UK sites are random as hell and i'd love to know how it works. How come some things arrive on me doorstep 4-5 days after they've shipped whilst others take 15-20 days? I don't mind the wait but it's pretty mind boggling.

For what it's worth i've only ordered one game from ozgameshop, being marvel vs capcom 3. Pre ordered it, shipped on the wednesday before it's thursday release and arrived on my doorstep the following tuesday.

Bought my first game from this site last month, recieved it in 7 working days.

Exactly they ALL use the royal post unless you specify otherwise.

My experiences from:
zavvi
dvd.co.uk
365/ozgameshop

have all been wide and varied. Anything from 7 days to 20+

It's the post ffs, and they all get on random planes all going different routes and being handled by different countries/carriers.

Pay more and get better shipping, or put up with it and enjoy the savings over bricks and mortar here.

fwiw my ozgameshop times have been to melbourne:

7 days
11
13
8
23

Dead Rising 2 came today so all good, will use OZgameshop again

 

[Sir_Ingram]

Of the 10 or so games I've ordered from them, most have come in around 7-8 days. But I ordered Dead space 2 on Feb 22 and still waiting. Just the risk you take when importing

Other than having to wait for games to arrive and UK rating labels, is their any reason not to buy from ozgameshop?

For example will I have problems with multiplayer, download codes that come with games, dlc bought from the xbox marketplace etc.

No, besides wait time, there is absolutely no reason not to buy from them. They even have an awesome rewards program. I've probably bought 30-40 games from them now, never had an issue. In fact I have enough player points that I can get $70 worth of vouchers.

Thanks.

What would be the next best UK store to buy from after ozgameshop?

There are a few games that they don't have stock for so I need an alternative.

Honestly I would go to ebay then.

The only other online store I have used for games is Zavvi. You could also try Amazon?

How long does it take for player points to show up?

I got 1250 for Tomb Raider but it hasn't shown up on the front page yet.

Having that problem, too. Have earned about 6000 points if you look at the transaction page, but it says I have 100 on the front page.

Same.

Have brought most of my games on this site, very reliable, reasonable cheap games and the point system is a big thumbs up too.

Player Points take about 3 months to become available. Until then they just show up as pending.

They email you when they become available.
