The Slammer

Advantages: 50:50 chance of getting something cheap
Disadvantages: 50:50 chance of them walking off with your money

That guy wants his £70 affiliate money. Yeah right he's really gonna get it! I suggest you look on the net regarding the scam this company pulled with PS2's and various other things. They used to offer top games for £1 but it was a 50:50 chance that you'd get them. I ordered about 3 of these games off them, 1 of them actually turned up (the other 2 didn't, but they didn't take the money either). But the biggest trick they pulled was with the £300 ...
...PS2's in and could sell them for £150 instead of £300, but Sony wouldn't allow them to sell them that low so they asked for £300 and then would give you a rebate of £150. This was similar to the £1 game scam but on a much grander scale! Obviously everyone went nuts for this a PS2 for half price when it had just been launched. They took everyones money and about 50% of the people got their PS2, the rest didn't. If you paid on a credit card you got ...

Slammer,wheres my money

Advantages: It was easy to get sales
Disadvantages: impossible to get any money

I joined the slammer affiliate program about six months ago.The way it was supposed to work was,you advertise their site on your website,and they pay 10% for any sales.Sounded good to me. When you make a sale,they email you to let you know.They give you a link to click on which takes you directly to your stats page.So far so good.In the months I was with them I sold £700 worth of hardware & software.A nice little earner for me of £70.Or so I thought. ...
...tried again and again but still the same. I then decided to ring their sales number.Constantly engaged. Here we go again thought I. Another rip off company. The next thing,their website disappears.Nice one slammer.No warning any thing was wrong.One minute they were there,then nothing.I kept trying their website address www.theslammer.com,until last week,hey presto they were back. Well,not quite.You just get one page,with the message that a firm ...

Mixed Feelings

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Poor service. Delays in delivery.

...2001 No refund received. theSlammer.com applied to the courst for liquidation, but the application was apprently withdrawn at the last minute. Business bought up by someone else. Southwark Trading Standards involved. I have recently heard from the Office of Fait Trading, asking my permission to use my complaint in any proceedings against the company, including court proceedings. To buy the PS2 in the first place, I used a tesco Visa Card. Tesco ...

Review of theslammer.com

Is This Really A Business

Advantages: Free games. Cheap prices
Disadvantages: Where do I start!!

I have known about theslammer.com for some time now. I was drawn to their website by an advertisement stating that they give away free computer games. I thought I would check it out and find out what the catches were. FREE GAMES Sure enough, they do give away free games on the condition that you pay £2.99 for postage. I bought a few games from this 'free section' over several weeks as you are only allowed to purchase one per week. Within about ...
...was offically a reseller for theslammer.com and in return I would receive between 10-20% of all the orders I placed. I started to work on my friends to build up a little business for theslammer.com and make myself some money. Prior to Xmas I managed to drum up a lot of business (approximately £600) so this would have resulted in a healthy commission cheque. I followed the instructions they provided me with and my orders were all delivered on time ...

Review of theslammer.com

The WORST online gaming store in the world.

Advantages: Free games-but they never come.
Disadvantages: The games never come, they steal your money.

Theslammer.com has to be the worst online store I have ever been to, let alone the worst online gaming store. I have many a story to tell you about this supposedly 'excellent' gaming store. I first found this shop on the Internet when I was looking for places to pre-order a PlayStation 2. I found theslammer.com. They said I would get £30 off my PS2, AND that I would get it before Christmas. I got an e-mail from them later telling me about my order ...
...GONE FROM MY ACCOUNT!! Theslammer.com said when I ordered that they wouldn't take the cash until I'd got it. They'd actually taken the money a few days after I'd ordered it!! I was livid. I called theslammer, no response. I e-mailed them, threatening to call the police on them, no response. Theslammer have STOLEN £300 from me, and I'm VERY annoyed about it. Anyway, while I was waiting for my PS2, I ordered Worms Armageddon for PlayStation in the ...

Review of theslammer.com

non Existent Customer Service - don't shop here

Advantages: Good list of games - prices
Disadvantages: Terrible Customer Support, no information / Order tracking / Dishonesty

I've had two very different experiences with the slammer and while I appreciate what they are trying to do, my most recent experience has soured my opinion so much that I will never be using the service again. I receive regular emails from the slammer telling me about latest offers and mid February 2000 they had an offer on a Playstation 2 for £150 for one weekend only. I quickly ordered my PS2 and was at first surprised to see 299.99 on the receipt. ...
...you got the PS2 and filled in a rebate form. So this was fine (although it wasn't mentioned on the site) At this stage things started to get bad. I phoned the slammers customer help line frequently for a few days with no answer in fact not even any menu options it just rang and rang. after about a week of this I finally managed to speak to someone I enquired about a delivery date and was told the dispatch would phone me back that afternoon - they ...

theslammer.com

Advantages: pay only postage and packaging
Disadvantages: none that i can remember

recently i was directed to theslammer.com as a site to get free games.i am always doubtful about " free stuff ", but i thought i would try it.it is not entirely free you have to pay postage and packing, but i got a £29.99 full game for only £2.99, not a bad buy, in fact a bargain. the delivery of the game was effected in five days and was securely package in a strong package.i shall certainly revisit this site for more bargains, were else can you ...

BARGAIN HUNTER ALERT

Advantages: Cheap games, free games
Disadvantages: poor service

Do you drift restlessly through life looking for a bargain? Do you toss and turn wondering if today you missed the chance to pick up a steal? Well if you do, this is a site that you must check out. Why you wonder it sounds like something to do with that awfully staged “Sport” called WWF. Well it is not; there is no actual slamming on the site called the “Slammer”. What is this site? Well it is a site to purchase computer ...
...spend for your credit card, but there is no charge to register. So here is the summary. Prices – Lets start with the biggy, there are games for free, oh yes bargain hunters, free games, for the PC and the Playstation, sorry Dreamcasters, once again nobody wants to play with you on your games platform. Well, they say they are free, in fact you have to pay £2.99 for postage and packing, but I suppose that is fair enough. So in effect there ...

Review of theslammer.com

Slammin' good

Advantages: Great games, great prices
Disadvantages: None

I have to admit to not purchasing anything as yet from the Slammer.com but I have received three of their free games (you only pay for postage) and so I am very impressed, but while searching their site, I have come across some amazing deals on Playstation games etc. Everything you want for your Computer & Playstation is on here at fantastic prices, and I don't know how they do it. As far as the free games are concerned, you are allowed to order ...
...a few weeks running, the titles are not always available as they have run out, but they do e-mail you to let you know if this is the case. The games are not naff either. My daughter had always wanted Wipeout 3 after playing the demo, and lo and behold one week it appeared so I ordered it for her. Not bad for £2.99 p & p eh? Delivery takes about 10 days on the free games, which is fair enough, you can't grumble, but apparently it's brilliant for 'proper' ...

Review of theslammer.com

Finally a shop worth buying from

Advantages: Easy to navigate. No broken links.
Disadvantages: Limited stock - but will add more if requested.

When i first stumbled onto this site i was initially impressed. The site was easy to navigate through, and all the links worked. I could find the games i wanted quickly, and order them with no fuss. The games i ordered came through quickly and on time - even though it was the christmas period. Also, on suggesting a new product they didn't have, they added the item to the store, and gave me a 10% discount on it for suggesting it to them. One of ...
...policy. Every week they put 8 games (mix of PC and PSX games) on sale for free. This works out to only £1.85 P&P. My PSX collection has increased tenfold, for the price of one game, which is wonderful. Visit this site - it offers many consoles games and accessories, as well as PC software (applications and games) and hardware cheaply and quickly. ...
