well packaged and fast dispatch

An excellent range of games, many of which you can't get on "Big A". My order was delivered quickly, and for a lower price than "Big A" too. I'll certainly be ordering from here again.

Excellent selection, speedy delivery. Love having such a good alternative to A*azon.

Gary

It's a great place to get games or manga. Would have been five stars but two orders in a row I paid for next day delivery and it arrived in two. Orders were made first thing in the morning too. Probably a reflection on Royal Mail\Parcelforce more than Zatu but ho hum.

Jamie

Absolutely fantastic! Product came fast and with secure packaging. Deals are amazing and just all in all I was amazed to stumble along this site. Will be definitely purchasing more.
