DO NOT ORDER ON THIS SITE. SCAM! order of an arcade machine. After 3 months, no machine, and a rough follow-up of which here is an excerpt: Do you think you are the queen of Belgium? It is stated on the site that we send the console before the machine. You will be refunded, sweetheart, don't panic.

Customer service no problem responds quickly enough to mail ... On the other hand, shipping services could be much better. I'm waiting more than a month to receive a retro box 4'''and in my opinion, the amount should only be withdrawn when the package is sent.

Bah frankly disappointed. I bought a micro sd that doesn't work on my rasberry PI .... The service department asked me to do a lot of things when I had another sd that worked well on the rasberry with another software ... By dint of removing and putting back the sd and with the stress I dropped the sd which slipped under the floorboard.... In short, it was a real bummer (I'm not going to dismantle the floor for that .... Deg I just made carrot 100 balls!

I ordered a hard drive from Boutique Retrogaming. The hard disk was very badly packed (a simple black film) and arrived defective. The same day I notified the after-sales service, which took 10 days to get back to me. Following a video showing the problem, I was authorized to return the faulty product at my own expense. With no news for a month, after a reminder, the after-sales service told me: "Your hard drive arrived in the workshop broken..., your hard drive is out of warranty, it will be returned to you within a week." I've paid 300 euros, received a faulty product and they're implying that I've damaged it, even though I reported it on the day I received it. Point to remember: they respond 1 time out of 10. You are responsible for faulty products, as the customer must be dishonest. The company is registered in Bulgaria, which allows them to behave as they please. For other customers, the CEC can help you initiate a complaint on a foreign site.

Order placed on July 27: I was supposed to be delivered to my vacation destination in a few days 3 to 5 and no news from them! I had to follow them up with 4 or 5 emails to be sure of being delivered before leaving again, and always got replies 2 days late! In the end, I was treated like a gentleman and almost insulted, even though they don't know how to respect the delivery times indicated and reply on time. They simply cancelled my order. Not at all professional.

1 month and 30 days. That's how long the service has been working. And since nothing. Black screen at startup. The customer service is still listening and working hard to try to find a solution. But nothing concrete. I can't recommend the retrogaming store or the service offered. When it works it's nice, but when it doesn't it's very frustrating and a big waste of time and money. I am still waiting for a solution after my purchase .... Beware of future buyers. You can spend a lot of money and end up with nothing. This is my case.

I made 2 separate orders. For one, no problem and I am very satisfied with the product. For the other, the package was not delivered and the store has done nothing to correct the situation for almost 3 months.

Not much to say about the delivery and the condition of the material. Everything is OK. Unfortunately, once the machine is in hand, it is a big disappointment! Many games don't work! I bought a retro console some time ago and it's exactly the same result. The same games that don't work! Very very disappointing for the price!!!

Hello, my opinion will be seen quickly. Order received almost two months later, and already problems after three days impossible to load the games Neo Geo and two connect a Bluetooth controller. Then I now have the console that puts a load is impossible to open the home menu. I have contacted customer service and no one has answered me so I will put a lawyer if within three days no one answers me

I received my package 28 days after ordering when it was noted 7 days for manufacturing and 3 days for delivery! I've been using it for a while now and it's not working! The remote control doesn't work with the games and the console doesn't have a switch, so every time I want to play I have to unplug and plug it in again! I can't leave the console in my TV cabinet which has the plugs behind! I can't recommend this console at all!

I'm not sure what the quality of the product is, I still haven't received any information on the manufacturing delay and the worst thing is that for an object of this price, you use the worst carrier that exists. Fedex. At the time I'm writing these words, the parcel should have arrived but it is as usual with this carrier, impossible to know where it is. If you want to manufacture elsewhere than in France, at least have the decency to use a carrier that does not have the worst reputation in the world.

Many dreams... Hardware that does not follow the dream offered for sale. More than 50000 games according to the advertisement! The reality is different. More than 30000 games don't work and the console functions don't work either... I'm still waiting for a call back to propose a solution... more than 6 months of waiting and still no solution... I don't recommend this site.

Package received late, hard drive and usb key not conforming to the photos..... of a ridiculous level of quality compared to what I was supposed to receive, deceitful salesman with his photos, chocolates in the box (nice) but which melted..... in short disappointed, received before leaving on holiday I could not return it, still in its box so much that I find it shameful.... I don't recommend this shop, and they are going to contact me again so that I change my mind.

The items offered are not finished and do not work. I ordered Retrobox+DD 4to which I returned. The proposal was to fix the problem, an access to my personal computer (which according to the person I had by mail (I have the evidence) intervened daily to correct the bugs ? (to think about). The refund within 14 days? I've been waiting for 1 month. Company in financial difficulty because not able to respect its own conditions of sale. To be avoided. I'm going to contact the DGCCRF (the competition and fraud department). Not worth it (I wouldn't have put any star), yet on paper it's fantastic! Decu

6Tb hard drive expected since July 2021! Sent a first time defective, I was forced to send it back for exchange... We arrive in November and still no return but promises, always promises! I think I made a bad choice! I have lost almost 400 euros but I will not stop there. Be careful when you order from them...

I just received the hard drive, what is this thing? not at all like the picture, plus thanks for the chocolates that melted on the manual...... The case is an ICY BOX normally, not this ugly and cheap thing, the key is tiny, not even tested, because frankly disappointed, we feel really ripped off..... ORICO make more nice boxes, between 28 and 34 they sell them on Amazon, not even a stand to hold it vertically even though it exists, Seriously, there's a problem, I'm waiting for explanations,

Not much service Edit: in response to the answer... how do you try to help me? The solution would be to send the console back to you for a refund. At my expense? And if I get a new console... the price has gone up, do I have to pay the difference? Why don't you do an exchange? Why don't you want to talk about it on the phone and offer to talk about it on Facebook or by e-mail with answers that are halfway off the mark? Unfortunately, you don't want to deal with this situation and I regret that. When I wrote my first review, I was contacted. But my questions were not answered. I have reset the console as requested, but I am still having problems. I'm at the same point. I wonder if the console I bought ever had an owner modify it and send it back because he couldn't get away with all the crap he did on it... I wouldn't know because I'd love to ask questions, but email exchanges that go in circles annoy me. So I'm playing with this console that doesn't work the same way twice and isn't quite what I bought.

Although I understand the shortage of components, a misleading advertisement on the delay is annoying - a lack of communication on the part of the Boutique - I want to believe that the work is well done and serious but here a bad experience and I still have not received my Order with almost 1 month to go

Terribly disappointed.... I have just received the console and asked for assistance because I was stuck on the black screen marked recalbox and after a first assistance the games did not work. After the second assistance it worked but it was impossible to quit the games. I have turned the console back on but it is still stuck on the black screen marked recalbox. I am very disappointed because since then I have had no support and I will send it back and demand a refund.

64GB console... 50 GB used Edit: the review below was before I realized that a lot of other games ran very poorly. Especially on N64. So very disappointed On 22000 games present, it is necessary to count on 1/2 or 1/3 of this figure. First of all, 8000 C64 games are not usable; impossible to launch. Most of the games are duplicates or triples or more, on different systems. And I'm talking about identical versions, not series... Sometimes, on the same system, almost every game is present several times in a row. The same title, in exactly the same version, is played between 3 and 10 times. Many games are in Japanese, without the translation as indicated on the website. Impossible to understand how to start the game. The number of games in each system... Has nothing to do with the list indicated on the website. The controller is also not the same. After contact, no answer other than that it's complicated to make a system like this... And that I can return it. I'm still happy with the games, because it's for my 7 year old son and a few nice games are enough for his happiness. But for those of you hoping for the games advertised... Tell you that it is rather a lottery. As for the menus of the selection of systems of favorites etc. ... It is simple and effective. The small thumbnail with a picture of the game for most of them is very convenient to make his choice. The search functions are practical too.
