Delivery
Yes, we deliver nationwide across Nigeria. Please see our Delivery Policy for the delivery options available to your location. Kindly note that your location and delivery option may also determine the payment option available to you.
All Lagos orders are despatched on the same day they are received, provided you make your order before 2:00PM. For outside-of-Lagos orders, your order would be despatched at 5:00PM on the day the order is made.
For the avoidance of doubt, cut-off for ensuring same-day despatch in Lagos is 2:00PM, and outside-of-Lagos is 5:00PM.
Please see our Delivery Policy for details about estimated delivery times for orders. Please note that we are currently unable to give you a particular time when your order will be delivered during the day – if you are not available throughout the day, kindly provide us with your availability when making the order. This is no guarantee that we will deliver at that particular time, but we will work towards it.
To ensure that we do not miss you, kindly make arrangements for someone to receive your order in your absence.
For a number of reasons we do not allow customers to test our products before payment.
For starters, you would delay the despatch rider delivering your order – our despatch riders have numerous deliveries throughout the course of the day and we do not accept any disruption to their delivery schedule.
We only provide customers with original products – if there is any issue with any of our products you may return it in accordance with our Return Policy.
Contact us and we will be able to update you about the whereabouts of your order.
Please bring this to the attention of the despatch rider delivering your order. We will either provide a replacement or a full refund (including courier cost).
If your order arrives and one or more items are missing, contact us immediately to inform us. We will investigate this matter with our warehouse and the courier.
We aim to despatch orders as soon as possible; if you inform us before we despatch your order, we will change your delivery address. Please contact us and provide us with your order number – note that we might have to revise the courier fees for the order.
If your order has already been despatched then we will have to wait for it to be returned from the incorrect address before we can action the change in address – please note that this may invariably mean you would have to pay for additional courier fees.

Yes, unless we indicate in the product description that it is pre-owned.
At the moment, VG Stores does not purchase pre-owned products, however there are plans underway to commence this. See here for further information on this.
We source our products from various sources; packaging of the product might therefore not be in English language. We however endeavour to ensure that the the in-game language is English. All the same, we cannot guarantee the exact list of languages available for each game. For more specific information, you will need to consult the publishers official website.
Please refer to this article. Due to the organic nature of new generation gaming, publishers release updates from time to time (including on day of release) which require the internet to download. We can therefore not guarantee whether or not you would require internet in order to play a video game software you purchased, or in fact how much GB you would be required to download.
The new generation consoles which we deal in are region-free i.e. there is no region locking. However, care should be taken when purchasing DLC and digital codes – these are region locked to the region you set up your PSN Account. For more on this topic, please see this article.
Pre-Orders
It is our objective to deliver all pre-orders within the prearranged delivery time frame – by the official release date. We therefore continually review our procurement procedure and our delivery partners to ensure that we satisfy our customers’ expectations.
There may however be occasions where due to unforeseen circumstances or human error, delivery is delayed. If there is an issue that affects your order from reaching you on the release date, we will contact you to advise you of the issue and notify you of a date when you should expect delivery.
Please ensure that all contact information you provide us with is correct and accurate as we will contact you through the contact details provided on the order.
