A company of amateurs

A company of amateurs. Firstly, the console took 5 weeks to arrive despite multiple emails along the way suggesting that it had shipped or was being held in customs. All complete lies. Secondly, when it did arrive, it didn't work, and I requested a refund. After a long wait, I received a postal address in Spain, and sent the console recorded delivery. The company have since not been present at the time of delivery and have not made any attempts to arrange redelivery. I'm now £75 out of pocket. Do not do business with this company.

I should have known better

I should have known better. Under £30 was too good to be true. A shutter speed of 1/20 is unusable in almost any light.

I've asked for a refund and am waiting for a reply.

Camera doesn’t work

Camera doesn’t work. Takes images when it feels like. Half of the images are corrupted and are either blank or random pixels. The other half are really poor quality.

Hate it

Hate it, Hate it!!
Maybe the camera is good, but there costumer service is horrible!!!
I wasn´t home when the package arrived, and the company that makes the delivers didn´t notify me about anithing! I called for it´s numbers more than 20 times to each ! Without any responses back . Then, I wrote several emails to Retro Snap Cameras and also send them messages in their site. Not even a single awnser back!! How can that be possible. And the company that makes the delivers tried to deliver again the package ( one week later!!), without notifying me again! How am I supposed to know?!
I just wanted the camera !
Am I still waiting for my money back, or for an effective delivering company to give me the package!!

Broken very quickly

I purchased the camera a was happy😊 I ordered a yellow one, received a grey one. But fine. Mistakes can happen.

However, Unfortunately, the camera stopped working entirely after just two days and I had just taken 4 photos. It is fully charged and has been handled with care, but it simply won’t start up. I reached out via Instagram for help but haven't received a response yet. I’m hoping to get this resolved quickly. But I fear it just is a mistake to have bought it.

Very very bad service.

Very very bad service.
I ordered two câmeras on 04/02. The next day, I received information about package being scanned by carrier.
Until now, I still dont have my package, I sent several e-mails to RetroSnap without any response, carrier told us that there was something wrong and package was sent back to seller.

So many things wrong and I lost my money for this… Dont buy, the trouble is not worth it

Definitely a scam. Don’t fall for the ads.

Sent a different colour to what I ordered, no matter what I tried I couldn’t get it to connect to my phone to transfer pictures and in the end none of this mattered as the camera totally stopped working after 24 hours. I tried contacting the company through the portal on their website but never received a reply. One star is too much id give 0 if I could.

Unfortunately the customer service is not very good, I had an issue with my order. I sent an email and a Facebook message and both have been ignored. Camera is ok so far but would spend abit more if it means better customer experience.
