Truly sad news. For many years, the arrival of one of those huge, carefully packed Adam Spielt boxes on my doorstep was cause for absolute ecstasy. They were the source for more otherwise unobtainable European games than could be imagined. And their printed catalogues, even if I couldn’t read German, were worth saving for the pictures and age/time/player number information alone. In recent years, however, as the dollar sunk against the euro and more US retailers started carrying games not released by US companies, my Adam Spielt orders subsided. I wish them the best and I thank them for their excellent, excellent service. I only hope this isn’t the beginning of a larger shakeout in the online game retailing world.

That’s really a shame, i’ll miss their box within a box, and their willingness to change orders up til the last minute.  Good luck to Friedhelm and crew in any future endevours, you guys were great!

I agree with Bob. Their excellent service and care were hallmarks of how to pack and send games to excited people overseas. The standard two or three day return from Germany to the UK never ceased to amaze me.

OK who do I turn to now to get my German game fixes?

That is sad news indeed.

Add my laments to the list.  Adam Spielt was far and away the best when it came to ordering from Germany.  They set a very high bar - a de facto standard - with their high level of customer service.  They will be greatly missed.

Sad news indeed. I’ve done most of my german purchases from them and everything has been great. I’ve tried others, and yet everytime come to the conclusion that adamspielt is the one giving the best service and have the most games available. German Amazon can compete with the service (and price) but I have more than once added a game to my order there only to find out at the check-out that it’s delivered from another seller and therefor not available outside of Germany. As long as the page says ‘Versand auf amazon.de’ they have just as good service as Adamspielt. They are however nowhere near Adamspielt in the number of games they offer though. I’ll probably be using playme.de for my bulk orders in the future: Good prices, large selection of games, but almost no communication from them after you’ve placed your order. You get an order confirmation, then the creditcard company shows that you have been charged with *a* purchase from them and then a few days later the box shows up at your house. And if you’re lucky everything you ordered is in there.

I am very sad to see this event happen - I have used them several times over many years - great service and great people - thank you AS for all your hard work - Good luck !
