Hi Mj,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced.
We understand how disappointing it is not to have received your order and to not get a response after reaching out multiple times. This is not the experience we want for our customers.
During the holiday period, we experienced a sudden increase in orders after going viral, which led to delays in dispatch, delivery, and customer support responses. Some orders are fulfilled through overseas partners, which can also affect delivery times.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and would like the opportunity to look into your order and resolve this for you as quickly as possible. Please contact us directly with your order details so we can assist you further.
Kind regards,
MagnetChess

Shocking Shipping
I order this the MagnetChess on 17th Dec and still haven't received it. The tracking is terrible. Like others I started thinking that this was a scam.
I wish I had read the reviews before I placed my order as I would not have proceeded.
Response from MagnetChessApr 10, 2026
Thank you for reaching out, and we are truly sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had with your MagnetChess order. We completely understand your frustration and concern, especially given the lack of reliable tracking updates and the uncertainty this has created.
Please rest assured that your order is legitimate and not a scam. The delay and poor tracking experience fall far below the standard of service we aim to provide, particularly during the high-volume holiday period.
We understand how disappointing it is to feel left without reliable information, and we sincerely regret the impact this has had on your trust in us.
We would appreciate the opportunity to resolve this for you promptly. If you have still not received your order, please contact us with your order number or the email used to place the order, and we will investigate immediately and arrange a priority replacement or suitable resolution.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We remain committed to putting this right as quickly as possible.

DON'T PURCHASE!!!!
I wish I had read these reviews before ordering! If I could give them a negative # of stars, I certainly would! Lured in by the product videos and promise of delivery before Christmas, I ordered on December 16th. Soon after I received an email from what sounded like a "family company" apologizing for being unable to mee the demand in time for Christmas. Disappointing, but pretty standard for 2025. Received a notice that it had shipped on December 24th, but in order to track it, I would have to download a sketchy looking Chinese app on my phone. First red flag right there. Second week of January, I received an email asking if I had received the product and was prompted to complete a Customer Service form if I was still awaiting delivery. I completed the form, but received no follow up except for an email asking me if I was enjoying the product?!? Tried again today to track the purchase, but none of the links are working. I wrote their Customer Service again and requested an immediate update, otherwise I will be calling my credit card company to refute the charge.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the distress, frustration, and inconvenience this situation has caused.
We understand your concerns regarding the delays, tracking issues, and lack of clear communication, and we regret that this has been your experience with us.
We are especially sorry that the tracking method and follow-up messages caused confusion or concern. This is not the level of transparency or service we aim to provide, and we acknowledge that we should have handled this more effectively.
During the holiday period we had a very high number of orders, which unfortunately caused delays and in a small number of cases parcels were lost or mishandled by the courier.
We truly regret that this situation has led to your current concerns. Please be assured your case is important to us, and we are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible.
We would appreciate the opportunity to resolve this for you. If you have not yet received your order, please contact us with your order number or email, and we will investigate and arrange a prompt resolution.
Thank you for your feedback. We take this seriously and are committed to making this right.
Kind regards,

Ordered early December and after a few weeks handn't received the game. Contacted them numerous times, ended up getting a reply after putting in a complaint through paypal and they sent the game. I am in Australia and have only just found out these games have been recalled for safety reasons anyway.

Terrible experience
Terrible experience. It’s been weeks since I placed my order, and I still haven’t received my product. Haven’t even received any update as to when I should expect to receive it. When I reached out the company for a refund, they just said it had already been shipped so they couldn’t refund me, but that I could send it back for a return once I receive it. 🙄 lowkey feel like I’ve been scammed.

Absolutely terrible
Absolutely terrible, ordered as a Christmas present, still not arrived, no tracking information that makes any sense, and when you ask for further information on their 'Contact Us' form you get ignored. Cant even find anywhere where you can request a refund!

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced.
We understand how disappointing it is to order a Christmas gift and not receive it, especially when tracking information is unclear and communication feels lacking. This is not the experience we want for our customers.
During the holiday period, we experienced a sudden increase in orders after going viral, which led to delays in dispatch, delivery, and customer support responses. Some orders are fulfilled through overseas partners, which can also affect tracking updates and delivery times.
We are actively improving our customer support and communication processes to ensure this does not happen again. If you’re still waiting on your order, please reach out once more with your order details, and we will prioritize checking its status for you.
Thank you for your patience, we truly appreciate it and are committed to making this right.
Kind regards,
