Postbox Games Game Rental Review
   

Visit PostBoxGames SitePostBox Games offer games rental for pretty much everything; PS2, PSP, XBox, XBox 360, GBA, Gamecube, Wii Nintendo DS and PS3. They even say they are considering offering PC games in the future - in which case they'd be the only company in business to do so to our knowledge. Unfortunately, they don't list how many titles in for each platform they stock, which makes comparison difficult.

Postbox Games feature one of the most comprehensive games rental sites in terms of ease of use - the search engine and browsing operates by platform, genre and, unusually, publisher.

There are new releases, coming soon, hot games and featured games sections if your stuck for ideas on what to rent next.

They naturally have their problems; while surfing the site doing their initial review, their entire domain went down! Hopefully this is not a common occurance. Their customer service reports are mixed, with some loving, some loathing the service, which is fairly common with these companies.

Prices: Postbox Games do offer a 10-day free trial, though its not advertised in huge letters, but you can find out more information in their FAQs section. Membership is at industry standard rates: £9.99 for one game at-a-time, £14.99 for two games at-a-time, and £19.99 for three games at-a-time.

Postbox Games Game Rental Customer Comments
 

Ken from Notts, September 4, 2007

I stupidly signed up and was charged on the 8th day of the "free trial", got 2 of 3 games on the 9th day and the last game is still MIA! STAY WELL CLEAR. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I was charged during the "free trial" and after more than 15 emails, I only got 1 response which was copy and pasted from their terms of use, and funny enough actually supported MY ARGUEMENT but they are still refusing to return my money. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. None of my calls have been answered except for 1, by a guy who did not know what he was doing and had kids kicking and screaming in the background. I really dont understand how they can continue operating or why someone would even say on their review that their "customer services was helpful". Seriously?

No complaints thus far and I found Postbox customer service to be excellent when dealing with any problems that I have had. There will always be problems renting games online as everyone is reliant on the postal service to do their job correctly. The mark of a good company is how they deal with these problems and Postbox Games gets the thumbs up from me in that regard.

Chris from Bath, August 9, 2007

I was a member of postbox games for around 18 Months, I cancelled my membership in May after waiting around a month to get games sent trough een though I had around 10 in my list!!!, but Postboxgames.co.uk have started taking money from my account, in fact they decided to take 30 out for no apparent reason, So i got in contact with them an spoke to the owners wife and left a message to find no return call, I have left several emails and answer messages and still no reply and even worse no money!!!! I have now involved consumerdirect.

Mel from Hull , June 6, 2007

Thinking this site looked reputable I signed up for my free 10 day trial membership...no games received! I sent an email regarding technical issues i.e. the website kept logging me out so I couldn't add any games to my rental list, which to date I have received no reply to! I did manage to get two games on there but have not received either of them, or any correspondence. I am concerned after reading two similar reviews above so I am going to phone them asap and cancel my membership as they clearly aren't going to respond to my email!!

Some rental companys are great at taking your money, but these guys seem to really care about the customers. Fantastically fast delivery of games that you realy want, not the usual , "im sorry we dont have any in stock!". Real easy to use website and quick delivery makes Postbox Games one good place to rent from.

I signed up to the Postbox Games free trial period a few weeks ago, and I have been thoroughly impressed. The games you wish to rent are added to your "Game Park" and you are sent out the first game in your list, providing it is in stock. The packaging is secure, and it is very easy to send games back. The value for money is excellent at 9.99 per month, much better than spending 50 on a game only to decide it is not for you.

Simply Outstanding!!! I was with another movie and game rental company till I gave these a go and it was the best decision I made. Customer Service is fast and efficient, great value for money. The site layout is simple and easy to move around and not once in 6 months have I ever had to wait for a game to be sent. Upon receiving it is normally 30 mins to an hour before my next titles ae shipped out. Couldn't ask for a better site and improving all the time.

Graeme from Edinburgh, February 16, 2007

Use them at your peril. I cancelled within the trial period as games were slow to be sent out, and met all their T&C's so as to not be charged. Checked my credit card statement the following week... no charge.
Great, I thought. However, exactly one month after the trial started they decided they were going to charge me for a months rental without explaination. Sent them an email; no response. Sent them a second email; no response. Phoned them up and got through to what sounded like a residential address (telephone was answered with just a "hello?" and I could hear kids screaming in the background) and was promised someone would call me back; they never did. Phoned a few days later, and once more got through to what sounded like someone's home address; again, promised a call back that never happened. Got bored being messed around so contacted my credit card company to refund my money. Still to this day I've not had an email or phone call.
Highly unprofessional and, were it not for me spotting the charge to my credit card, they'd also have gotten away with taking money they weren't due. In a word, AVOID.
