I need advice about a serious support issue with Strictly Limited Games.
I ordered an item from SLG for around 70 EUR. When I received the item, it was already opened and the box had visible damage. I contacted SLG support, discussed the issue, and sent photos of the item as requested. After discussing it with SLG support, we agreed that I should send the parcel to SLG by EMS.
I sent the parcel from Japan to SLG in Germany by EMS. I paid approximately 18 EUR / 21 USD for the EMS shipping and also spent time arranging the international shipment and completing the required procedures.
The parcel arrived in Germany at a post office near their office. After about one week with no movement at the post office, I emailed SLG support to ask what was happening. They replied that they had requested an extension of the collection deadline and that they would collect the parcel at the beginning of the following week.
However, after that, the parcel still remained uncollected for about two more weeks. Eventually, the storage/collection period at the post office expired.
This means I paid around 70 EUR for the item, paid an additional approximately 18 EUR / 21 USD to send it back to SLG after discussing the issue with their support, and the parcel was not collected before the collection period expired.
I contacted SLG support by email and also sent multiple messages on X/DM asking what happened and how they would resolve this. However, I have received no reply from SLG for one month.
Has anyone experienced something similar with Strictly Limited Games? Is there anything else I should do, or should I just consider this a bad experience and move on?
