I have pre ordered 2 games with them, Ninja Gaiden Razor's edge and Devil may cry, I pre ordered them with just one click and now there is an option to pay in advance but my question is if I don't want to pay in advance do I just leave it as it is and they will just take the money before dispatch? it's not very clear.

Also are they a good site to use regularly?

yeh they will take the money when they dispatch, usually 2 or 3 days before release.

They are the best.

Yep they take the money when they ship them. Awsome company by the way, nearly always get my games a day or two before release.

@Mister_V: Yeah I have heard a lot of people say they get games before release. So it doesn't matter if you pay for it in advance or not it will still get shipped at the same time?

Also I forgot my security question and had to call to get them to reset it and the guy was really friendly and helpful which is always a plus.

Does not matter when you pay.

They also have an automated warehouse, which is fucking amazing... If you're into warehouse automation.

Yeah it never fails to amaze me that less than 5 mins after placing an order I have an email with a picture of my package.

They'll take the money when they dispatch. You can pay in advance, but I've had problems with that in the past where it's gone through twice. They fixed it so quickly and without hassle, though.

Yeah, shopto are pretty great.

Yeah i use shopto just about all the time.

If theres somewhere selling alot cheaper then i might not use shopto but most times shopto are the cheapest!

Even if they are a little more expensive i might use them as i have never had problems with them and just about every time i get games at least a day earlier than release.

Also they have a loyalty reward thing and the more you use them the higher it is.

I got my wii u from them as they were one of the cheaper ones and they also give you nearly £20 worth of loyalty points.

Also use 'em here. Never had any any real problems and games always come on or before release day.

Definitely recommended.

Yeah I've just started ordering from them, really awesome company with great customer service.

Yup, spectacular service. They're like the Amazon US of the UK. Sure, there is actually an Amazon UK, but everyone in the US apparently' loves Amazon, and shopto has that same degree of love and respect more so than perhaps our own version of Amazon.
