Retroshite Recenzje 

Rude and not professional in the slightest. Real shame as the idea is great but the rudeness and the suspiciousness of most winners being in Scotland or the north is questionable

This is a review about Retroshite.com the UK competition website offering old cars as prizes, most reviews for this company have ended up on the page for retroshite.co.uk which seems like an unconnected company (Trustpilot admin might want to look into this as it is obvious most reviews for the .co.uk are meant for the .com site). Like another user mentioned (on this retroshite.co.uk review page), I wanted to enter the Retroshite competitions by post. I carefully followed the instructions in their T&C to the letter, sending in 3 postcard entries. This evening I thought i'd reach out to them through their contact form, asking when the entries would be showing in the "My Entries" section, as it had been about 10 days since i'd posted them. I was polite and friendly and soon got my answer - they closed my account. I can only assume that the "free postal entry" thing is total BS, why would I be booted off the site just for asking about it if it wasn't? What a pity, and shame on you Mr Retroshite

After seeing the cool shite that could possibly won I entered 8 of Retroshite's competitions using their advertised free postal entry route. I followed the terms and conditions correctly and made sure my entries were valid, but none of my postal entries appear to have been entered.

When I contacted them on Instagram to ask what had happened, my comment was deleted and my account was blocked instead of receiving an explanation. This has understandably left me with concerns about how they are running their competitions.

My understanding is that the free entry route is an important requirement for competitions that do not require a gambling licence. If companies advertise this option but do not properly accept valid entries, it could potentially raise issues with fairness, consumer protection acts, and the relevant regulators.

I have evidence of my entries and my attempts to contact them. I would simply like an explanation as to why my valid entries were not included.

Based on my experience, I would be very cautious about spending any money on their competitions. You could spend your time and money entering, only to find out your entry may not have even been counted.

If this is how they handle and respond to free entries, it makes me question how other aspects of their competitions are being managed.

I wish I had read more of the previous reviews about people being blocked and their past customer service before spending any money with Retroshite. Based on my own experience, I would urge others to do their research first.

Unfortunately this site is ran by extremely petty people... They started to run a "sale" from £15 to 5 on an old peugeot. Then returned the price to the incorrect price.
I emailed to ask what was going on an point out the mistake as it was deceptive practice.
He took a hissy fit and deleted my account!
I have emails to prove

I've bought tickets for a few cars recently and when i selected 3 tickets to win a shite car i fancied i saw a free draw for a C90 so added that to my basket, it only went and won. the bike was delivered in a couple of days. I had a couple of hours tinkering to make sure it was ready for a fresh MOT and it flew through. Loving my bit of RetroShite (that's far from shite). I'll continue to buy tickets (ive got some for 2 up coming draws) and i'll keep an eye open for the next Honda Cub draw. I need to win one for my mate.

The bloke running it is incredibly rude and shows a complete disregard for his 'prizes'. They frequently post videos ragging the cars people are paying (at incredibly low odds) to win and when questioned about this the owner proceeded to taunt the commenter. If this is how they publicly handle complaints one can't imagine how they deal with issues behind closed doors. Cool cars, bad management.

Shockingly high odds. Even higher prices for literal “sh*te”
Question this on facebook and you will be blocked. I didn’t even comment I liked someone’s comment and he blocked me ?
Odd behaviour and unprofessional.

Competitions seem to be genuine but it's extreme odds to be a winner. I was enjoying looking on cars and paying for a few tickets each week but yesterday when I made a Facebook comment politely criticising his bad language he responded rudely as he always does. As this wasn't bad enough he then later on blocked and deleted me which is very frustrating and most unfair. I don't think people should support someone who treats his bread and butter customers like this.

An excellent array of chod on offer every week and unlike many competition sites they are retro car enthusiasts through and through and they go out of their way to find obscure and interesting vehicles instead of the generic stuff that everyone else seems to do.
Highlights for me were the Subaru Brat pickup, V6 Cortina and Maestro Turbo van.
I haven't won anything yet but love to see what they find next.
The competitions are 100% Legit with live draws happening every Sunday and live entry list for each draw published on the site so you can check how many tickets have sold in real time.
As far as I'm aware they have never extended a draw and do the draw on the date regardless of ticket sales.
Anyone writing a bad review is clearly a moron and should stay off the internet.

Cool cars, much different to other sites too

Blocked me off their Facebook page for pointing out the ridiculously high odds of their competitions, they also go out of their way to try and conceal the maximum allowed tickets for each competition which would make it much more obvious to people
Scammy vibes

I love this site!
The attitude of the guy that runs it is magnificent, he regularly tells idiots on his socials to p*ss off!
It's a real breath of fresh air when it comes to customer service in this day and age.
Like the man says "If you're not interested F*** off!

Got banned on their Instagram page for asking a location of a recent winner. I have noticed a trend of winners from Scotland recently,which incidentally is where they are based. There are winners from other parts of the UK obviously, however I've noticed lots from Scotland. Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps more tickets are bought in Scotland than anywhere else tipping the odds recently. There are lots of nice old cars for raffle in various conditions and despite not living in Scotland I would have still entered, however the ban has put me off. A little googling will tell you all you need to know about the blokes attitude to criticism so I guess it was to be expected. Best of luck everyone.

Don’t get me wrong, the raffles are 100% legit and I’ve bought a few tickets on vehicles myself, but the reason for only giving two stars is Scott’s attitude towards his followers. One example was when he told someone to f-off simply because he preferred a Ford Granada in a different colour. This isn’t isolated, he’s generally quite rude and obnoxious if you don’t like a car or have an opinion. I’ve unfollowed his socials and unsubscribed to his mailing list as a result.

Clever concept tainted by incredibly obnoxious & aggressive customer service

So this site is a bit different from other competition sites. I saw an ad on Facebook and as I love the classic minis I bought a ticket. Didn’t think much of it until I got a message to say I had won. I went and looked more into the site and their facebook and they offer all sorts of weird and wonderful retro vehicles. I had no idea what was going to show up but it’s a win and still essentially a free mini car, they delivered for free and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. I think the unique nature of the site allows for better odds of winning and the ticket price is good. They are legit and I already have done tickets for a few others I have my eye on. Good luck everyone.
