Don t buy unless you aren t fussed with poor comms and delivery times
Edited again - They ve put up a new reply saying I only received the refund Weird how apparently I had received both in their initial response that they have since deleted following my response 100 sketchy Would not recommend this company at all Edited again - it looks as if their reply has disappeared since by update below Edited to add response to reply below I have not received any order from Game Steward so have not got the item as well as being refunded This is nonsense I ve just checked the tracking details given by the Game Steward and it is not showing that it has been received So again nonsense It is showing as item preadvice received which is the same update and date as those received back in January I never received this item Only months of being mucked about and then ignored My 8 year old had some Xmas money leftover so at the start of January he asked to buy the Marvel United Playmat from The Game Steward We are in the UK so knew it could take a bit of time It was in stock but took 20 days just to dispatch I emailed and was told that they were working on dispatching a back log of games but it would be dispatched shortly On 25th January I received a tracking number The tracking number hasn t updated from we are expecting your item since then After a good few weeks keeping an eye on tracking I emailed TGS and they didn t respond so I emailed again I waited for 4 5 days and still no response My son was upset and asked me to get his money back this is despite the Playmat being the only thing he needs to complete his MU collection With no response from TGS I opened a PayPal dispute Funnily enough I got a response pretty quickly agreeing that there looks to be a problem so FedEx will investigate and they will let me know We re now nearly at 2 weeks later and no contact at all so I ve escalated to PayPal I get they are busy with current KS and dealing with fulfilments and dispatch and my son s order is a drop in the ocean for them but communication goes a long way The wait I expected although over 2 months for an instock item is pushing it but given the good reviews on the likes of BGG and Board Game Revolution I didn t expect poor customer service and lack of communication I won t be ordering from them again

Order got cancelled dishonest company
Update I must admit that I m surprised by the reply from the game steward because of their dishonesty The game steward states that they communicated that they are not a distributor and that the low-priced items they offer are not for one person to buy-up or potentially resell at a higher price elsewhere Firstly they did not communicate They just emailed me that there s a purchase limit on the item I ordered so my order got cancelled but quoting from their email We do not have such a restriction on the All-In Bundle so you are welcome to purchase as many of those as you wish Secondly I had straightforwardly informed the Game Steward of my status as a reseller back on 01 05 2023 by email and then they successfully fulfilled my first 2 orders for 20 copies of the same item despite my status It s disappointing to see that the Game Steward is being dishonest about their awareness of my status as a reseller While they claim to care about other customers being able to buy discounted products their actions show otherwise I hope that other potential customers will take this experience into consideration when deciding whether to do business with the Game Steward ------ Initial Review ------I had a terrible experience with the Game Steward that I feel compelled to share with others I placed an order on 04 25 2023 and waited for a week with no updates on my order I placed another order and still received no communication from the company When I emailed them on 05 04 2023 asking to expedite my order I received no response I had to email them again on 10 05 2023 to inquire about my orders only to be told that they had been cancelled due to a purchase limit of 5 on the item I had ordered which was not communicated to me at any point What s worse it was only because I initiated communication with them that I received any response at all The Game Steward seemed to have no interest in fulfilling my order or keeping me informed about its status They simply took my money and sat there arrogantly cancelling my orders I am highly disappointed in the Game Steward s lack of transparency and communication regarding their purchase limits It s unacceptable that they cancelled my orders without prior notice especially since their shipping policy for in-stock orders states that they will ship within 3 business days after receiving the order I would caution others to consider other options for purchasing games and to be wary of the Game Steward s lack of communication and transparency

Disappointing Experience with Damaged Shipment
I m extremely disappointed with my recent shipment Despite my special request for proper packing as it was international the package arrived severely damaged What s even more appalling is that the company blamed the transit process for the damage rather than taking responsibility for their own packing mistakes offering a mere 20 refund leaving me to bear the brunt of the 80 loss due to their subpar packing Unacceptable

The Game Steward is a good site
The Game Steward is a good site offering a varied choice of games including rare ones not distributed in France Customer service is responsive to emails sent and orders placed No waiting You ll just have to choose your carrier carefully and be patient USPS in mail priority isn t necessarily bad and it s pretty well placed in terms of rates but you must be know you won t get any updates until the package arrives in France I recommend The Game Steward and you can order with your eyes closed
