Thistle Tavern Arvostelua 133

As someone who is a long term customer and treat the store as my LGS. I have a soft spot for it. The majority of people I have played with their are pleasant and the longer term staff are mostly friendly.

As ever in gaming spaces it is not without a challenge. Despite having a zero tolerance policy for homophobia the owner responds to comments around making homophobic remarks on the Discord, relying on the reader to know the people involved and be comfortable with the joke. I have also heard on the store a customer being referred to by a slur, the staff member's face reacted, but they took no action. That is not zero tolerance. Self-policing cannot be the answer as that puts the highest stress on more vulnerable people.

Some of the newer staff members, are less friendly, unless they are very familiar with you, or you are buying something they have an interest in. They don't ask the questions longer term staff do, such as checking for the paid membership or an account.

While it is wonderful having a busy LGS in Aberdeen the usual challenges in gaming spaces persist. I have spent less time there and spend less money, because I don't feel welcome as much as when they first started. As they grow these challenges will only grow with them.

While this is a somber review, of someone who feels less like they fit in, it is focussed on the challenges, but it is substantially better than other gaming focussed social spaces I have been in before.

Order multiple times,singles, sealed. 100% recommend, never have issues.

Very fast delivery, games arrived in good condition

Package showed up earlier than expected! Super excited to start collecting a master set.

This was my 2nd time ordering this year, both times the items have been dispatched (and arrived) really quickly. Very happy with my purchases and will definitely order from them again.

Great range of products and they get restocked very quickly, they deliver quick and cards are packaged well for transport

Is a great place to both play and buy product for a number of tcgs

11/10 place to shop for all your MTG needs.

I bought a game at a very good price for a birthday present. I purchased on a Friday. It was despatched on the Saturday and amazingly, arrived on the Tuesday, which was the actual birthday! Item was well packed in cardboard and in perfect condition inside. The recipient was delighted. 10/10 and will use again. Highly recommended.

Thanks to a generous sale I managed to get an amazing play mat at nearly half the price. No issues with P&P and it arrived quickly.

Great store!

Buy singles from them occasionally and always fast shipping, good communication and great selection.

Traded some cards before the London Pro Tour and got an excellent deal and swift turnaround.

Excellent shop, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff

They were swift with the order and one of the cards was missing which they resent to accommodate the missing card.
Overall very helpful and quick.

Always a ships rapidly, never any issues!

I've always had a great experience with Thistle Tavern whether buying online or in-person. Clear pricing, good availability, friendly communication. Would always recommend.

A great website and the the cards are packaged very well and arrive in great quality. The prices are consistent and very reasonable. Would definitely shop here again.
The only downside I have to note is that both times I have ordered from them there were large and unexplained delays, which when I sent an email to the customer service about I didn't get a response from them about it but the next day I was sent a royal mail message saying that they have my package. This were timed around some major events so that may have affected this but it is still worth noting.

Great customer service and fast shipping
