Missing or Damaged Parts and Game Components

Although extremely rare, sometimes you may discover parts that may be missing or damaged after opening a new game. Back to Games is a retailer, we do not design, manufacture or distribute the products we sell. We have a huge selection of games and are therefore unable to carry or provide missing components or parts for any of our titles. Game Publishers are directly responsible for any missing or damaged components and must be contacted through their own customer service portal, usually found on their main website. Once contacted, they usually respond within a few days and will mail you whatever is required to correct the issue with your purchase. Our team can assist you on providing contact details of the Publisher.
