Great company to deal with.

The ordering process was fast and easy. Company provided excellent communications during the shipping process. For an item that had to go through US customs, it arrived quickly and with no issues.

Quick and easy experience

Quick and easy experience, and got my parcel earlier than expected. There was a slight dent in one of the games but nothing too major.

Would Use Again

Everything was easy to find and purchase. Considering I had the game shipped to the US, the shipping fee was very reasonable and the game arrived in a timely manner!

I bought a copy of Kingmaker 2 and am very happy with Zatu's service

I bought a copy of Kingmaker 2 from Zatu as it was well-priced but I was a little wary as some reviews are poor (for both Zatu and Evri). In fact it turned up quickly and on time (I had paid the extra £1 for next day delivery so Evri wouldn't have it for too long), very well-boxed and in perfect condition so I am very pleased that I chose to buy from Zatu. It was all very efficient.

Poor Delivery and Customer Service

I have been a good customer of Zatu over the years, but no more. For the first time in nearly 10 years, I received a damaged book through the post, clearly through mishandling by the courier company, and sent an image of this through to the customer service. They dismissed it as “cellophane damage only” when it was not and clearly my book had suffered significant dent right across the middle. Usable, but definitely damaged.

Zatu have now switched to using Evri as a cheap courier for their £2.99 delivery service where they used to charge this for Royal Mail. They are a big company that has no threshold for free delivery, and now charges £4.99 for the Royal Mail to handle goods instead.

Based on my experience of their customer service, which is accusing me of trying to scam them into a refund, and their inflated delivery charges I will not be returning to Zatu again.

Hi there,

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry to hear your order arrived damaged.

I can see that when this was first raised to us, our customer service team replied to say they could not see the damage based on the images provided. While we do not offer compensation when the cellophane shrinkwrap arrives with tears or rips, it was unfortunately not clear that this damage extended to the product itself!

Once additional images were provided, a partial refund was offered, but I can see this was rejected.

If you would like any further assistance with this order, please send us an email at team@zatu.co.uk with reference number 7693, and a member of our team will be happy to help.

Thank You,

paid for a pre ordered game

paid for a pre ordered game. They game did not get released for several years and when it came out, they did not send it. I emailed the company about when to expect the game. 6 months later they still have not responded or refunded the money.

My order had missing items

My order had missing items, but Zatu claimed it was an error in their listing, so wouldn't fulfill the order I paid for.

Worse still, that same listing is still up on their website, showing the same misinformation that fooled me.

I also had to chase up on a second delivery they had forgot to send out.

I do not recommend buying from this company, and me and my gaming group will be ordering elsewhere going forward.
