purchasing games issues
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 1 votes
Company information:
St.Thomas, Ontario
Canada

I attempted to purchase a game from the MSN site (which is handled by Oberon-Media) and received an error page as soon as my credit card info was entered that advised me not to reorder as same error would appear and that I needed to contact support to complete the order and a link was provided to support. The link did not work. I tried 3 times and nothing happened.

I went to the MSN games site and found the links to get to support for purchasing issues and filled out the information and then received an error page when I tried to send it off. The new error page provided an email address to send info/issue to if there was a problem with the support page. I sent an email and received a delivery failure notice as the email address does not exist as per below:

<wizarderror@oberon-media.com>:
69.25.74.34 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 Bad destination mailbox address (wizarderror@oberon-media.com).

There are no other methods of contact that I can find. I did, however, go back to the support page and click on their "Comments and suggestions" link, which had the exact same format as the other support pages, filled out the same information and received a ticket number once I sent it. It appears that if you have any issues to do with billing, you can be sure to get a non-existant email address to send to or the page suddenly no longer works, but if you enter things that don't directly have to do with billing or purchases, you at least get a ticket number... I requested they respond to my ticket within 24 hours. I will update further if they do or not...

I also experienced the same issue, but like a fool waited several months and tried again. This time I ordered 3 games, 2 with CD's. After seveeral weeks (company disclosure states 5-7 days for delivery), I received 1 game and never received the 2nd. Spent days looking for contact information. This company has sunk to a low I would never expect to see from a public company in customer service. I amm 55 years old and have never experienced such frustration as trying to get in touch with a company. I finally sent a complaint to MSN and threatened to bring action against them as well since they are the ones promoting "Oberon Games'. After a coupke of email exchanges, I finally found a web site to register the complaint. At first I received a response that the company has no record of an order, and suggested I must have ordered ffrm another company. When I scanned and attached copies of the paid confirmations, I received an email advising they are having problems with CD deliveries. Upon inquiring for timeline to resolution a refund, I was advised they did not know when CD's would be delivered. No coment on refund request. I am sure I, or you, are not the only ones experiencing with this company. Let's put them ou of business...

I'm having the same issues. It started a week ago. I cannot purchase anything. The purchasing site does not work on multiple machines. They claim it's due to an overflowing cache, but I am no fool. I already did that before I contacted them, but that's what their customer service rep said to do and I thought they'd be a little more technical. I really do not like their service. I've emailed them 5 times this week. Is this company run by 10 yr olds? How long will it take to get a response back on their faulty server? I get a run time error/server, and as I don't have a virus on my new machine and clear my cache and update firefox regularly as well, I think it's an error on their part. The scary thing is is that they have access to my card info and I can't get to it! Luckily, I cancelled it last week coincidentally, and today they sent me an email saying that I need to make sure that the number I gave them is correct. I think I'm done purchasing from them.

I too am having problems but I can't even get them to respond to my e-mails. I've sent 5 e-mails and never heard word one from them. I finally looked up Oberon Media and found a number for their New York office. I left a message with a customer service rep but I bet I'll need to call them back a dozen or so times before I get a return call. They don't seem to be very ethical and I wonder why MSN would link themselves with a company like this?

I too am having problems with Oberon. I purchased a game from them from the Comcast game site. I was able to use the trial software. After purchasing the game, it would not load. I have sent many messages to the tech help desk but have only received the "same" request for more information "canned" emails.

I also requested a refund and received "another" canned email that promised a tech rep would call. Well no call, no help, no direct contact with anyone. I am out the cost of the game with no obvious resolution in site.

They stink.

I ordered the oberon cd for the treasure hunt game, received an email that it was shipped and never received it. HELP

I signed up for 3 games and now they won't stop charging my credit card each month. And there is no way to contact them to stop it. I did email them last month but had no response. I found this site looking for a customer service phone number. Looks like they aren't very ethical.
