    Irish based Gamestop customer service were extremely unhelpful. Irish site had offer of 1yr free xbox live with games on offer, I ordered on the day and within time it was available but it never got added to my basket. They offered no assistance but to say the offer is over. If I could give no star here I would. I will be looking around for games or order them from more competitive sites rather than Gamestop Ireland. Order from them but don't expect any real customer service assistance rather than "tough luck"...

    I pre-ordered the NHL 19 from the PlayStation Store on September 4th. I had a VISA gift card I wanted to use and saw the Gamestop was offering the NHL Legends Edition Upgrade for $19.99. So on Sunday September 9th, I went into my local Gamestop and talked to an employee. I asked him, "If I buy this upgrade will I get three days Early access (be able to play game on the 11th) plus the legends edition content." He said, "Yes, as long as you have the base game." I said, "Yes I pre-ordered the Base game from the PS store a few days ago." He said, "Then yeah you’d get early access." So I paid in full and the employee said, "Come back tomorrow night (Monday 9/10) at 6 pm to get your code so you can play when the game releases (Tuesday 12 am/ET)."

    So I return Monday night and another employee prints out my receipt with a -2 digit code to use on the store. Again I'm ensured I’ll be able to play in three hours. So I get home and punch in the code - it says confirmed. Great the code worked. I check my installed game on my PS4 XMB and it still has a countdown timer or 2 days plus. I'm like that’s weird but just think maybe it will override it at 9 pm.

    Just before 12 am ET/9 pm PT Monday and I'm on Party chat with my friends on PS4 waiting for the game to unlock. The timer still hasn’t changed on my game (still hasn’t changed from 2 days). Now I'm a bit nervous and feel that something isn’t right. Turns out it isn’t. 9 pm - my friends launch their game and it works no problem. Mine won't start still says pre-order. Even though under add-ons it says “Deluxe Edition” installed. I call EA and they say just to be patient and give it time and wait until Tuesday. I say ok. Tuesday, early morning I tweet at EAHelp and a couple hours later I get a reply. The person I talked via DM on twitter was very helpful and said it could be a code error or wrong code and advised I talk to GameStop but that maybe Sony Chat could help.

    I decided to contact Sony Playstation Support by Phone as GameStop wasn’t open yet. Spoke with Sony Phone rep who was very help and tried all the troubleshooting steps (uninstalling, deleting and reinstalling game, restoring licenses, etc.) she could think of but nothing worked. She said that there was nothing else she could and advised that I was out of luck because Playstation doesn’t provide refunds on pre-orders. I replied ok. She apologized for not being able to help and again stated (unsolicited) that they don’t provide refunds on pre-orders. During the phone support call she had me try and download the game from my account from store via website to PS4, but I kept getting a download error. She said that was an EA issue.

    So I called EA and the advisor was also confused as to why my game was locked. He worked with a Game Specialist and said if I was having a download issue to call Sony back. I told him Sony said it was EA’s issue. He said no it was on Sony’s end. So about 10 am I decide to try Gamestop and go back into my local store and spoke to the only employee there and he was very nice provides me with a new code saying maybe the code was defective but I should get the early access. I get home and decide that I should just check with Sony PlayStation just in case something was missed, before I input the new code.

    So I called Sony and got a very rude woman who said after reviewing my previous phone call that she would not go through the troubleshooting steps again because they won't work because the code only granted me access to the content and early access and that the new code wouldn’t work either. I said that's not what GameStop said, I asked to speak to a supervisor to provide feedback. I'm transferred to a supervisor who was very helpful and confirmed that the code GameStop sold only provided me content and not three days early access. I said that was weird and he suggested talking to GameStop again.

    So I hopped back into my car and the employee that helped me was still there. Told him the day I've been through and he was very helpful and said that yeah maybe the code only for the content and not early access. He was helpful but said with codes not anything he could do - he tried but the system wouldn’t let him refund it. I told him it wasn’t really about the money it was more about being told more than once Id get early access and the not getting it. So I slog home disappointed.

    I wake up Wednesday and later that day find out that someone else I know online got the base game and the upgrade edition code from GameStop and is playing early. So I'm like something is missing here. Why am I being denied early access (which is now almost over as game releases on Friday at 12 am ET aka 9 pm PT on Thursday for me). I press on...

    I called my local GameStop and explained to him the issues I've been having. He checks his system and says “Yeah looks like the code requires the base game”. I tell him I have the base game - got it from the PS Store last week. He says that's weird and suggests I call GameStop Customer Service, as they have more power than he does at the store.

    So I call GameStop Customer Service and after almost an hour on hold I get a Rep who is helpful and gathers the information and keeps coming back from putting me on hold to get more information. Finally he comes back and says that he found out the issue - I need to buy the Base Game AND Upgrade Edition at Gamestop in order to get early access. He said since I purchased the game at the PlayStation store and the code at GameStop that I only qualify for the content and not early access. I said that's not what the GameStop store said. He apologized and said if he had a code he’d give me one but he didn’t and there was nothing he could do to remedy the situation. I said, "I would like to speak to a supervisor," and he said they’d give me the same information. I said, "I'd still like to speak to supervisor." So he transferred me.

    I explained to the supervisor that I was unhappy and disappointed that there were multiple chances to inform me of the correct information and that if I had received that prior to purchase I may have decided not to purchase if I was told I would not get early access. He apologized and he didn’t have any power to do anything and said all he could do is relay information to the District Manager of my local GameStop. I said will the employee I spoke to on the phone said he didn’t have any power either. The supervisor apologized but reiterated he had no power other than to provide information to the store’s DM. I said, "Yes, please send it."

    I was calm but firm in my calls and only once got a little fluster with EA Advisor only because he kept interrupting me. Inside I was seething. Not about early access, that's really only part o the issue. The bigger issue is being sold something then not getting it because of incorrect information. So I took a little bit to cool off, and then decide I should write a short review on the product page just giving people a heads up that if you purchase the NHL Legends Edition Upgrade you must have purchased the game itself at GameStop as well or you won't receive three days early access. I get an email early Thursday from GameStop saying that they have decided not publish my review as it doesn’t meet their guidelines. Me: Lol, of course.

    Here is that review: "Just a tip to people interested in this as a potential upgrade to the Legends Edition - even though the standard game is almost out now. This will only get you early access IF you purchased the Base game at Gamestop or on Gamestop.com. If you Purchased the Standard Edition on the PS Store, purchasing this Upgrade will only provide you access to the content and not early access. Just want to make sure people know since the store I went to confirmed I would get early access if I had the base game even if I bought the game on PS Store and the Upgrade Code at Gamestop."

    I never had an issue with GameStop before this and the employees at my local store are really nice and helpful. It was miscommunication that created this issue that could have been avoided with the following: Employee: "Just to let you know, if you didn’t purchase the game here at GameStop, then this NHL 19 Legends Edition Upgrade will give you the content from Legends Edition but not the three days early release. Do you still want to purchase this?” It also would have avoided GameStop potentially losing a customer because they seem to refuse to make me, the customer happy. If they do end up making it right, I’ll update this review, but them refusing to post the review, while within their rights as it's their website just infuriated me and brought me post here.

    I have been almost 2 months in working with Gamestop on an issue. I never received an item that I had paid for and they have offered to refund my money via e-Gift card. It's been over 3 weeks since I was offered the e-gift card and have not heard back. I am not sure who runs their Customer Service at that organization but they obviously do not care. Will never make a purchase from Gamestop again.

    Order two games and used three gift cards. Order did not come. In short, they told me that the order was not received and there is no record of my gift cards ($90+). They promised to send me a replacement gift card, but reneged on that promise. Now I do not have the games nor my money. Worse yet, the gift cards were gift for my son which he got for his BD, Christmas, etc. His younger sister used her allowance money to get him one of those cards. I have called nine times to get this issue resolve - CSR are absolutely no help. Needless to say, I will never order from Gamestop again.

    Purchased a gift card on August 14th. Gamestop sent me an email with instructions on how to download the code, where it stated that I had to log in to my order history in order to download the code. The order history was empty. I contacted them by email right away. No one gotten back to me. The following day called them. The representative gave me the code, which did not work. I read the code back to him twice and he said that was the code. Called them again. Another representative said the code was off in two characters. So I entered the new code while she waited on the call. The error message said the code has been used.

    Now they told me to contact Sony. Contacted Sony and they said it's Gamestop's issue. Wrote Gamestop another email and gotten no response once again. To call their support means to spend another 30-40 minutes waiting for someone to answer and then you are not guaranteed you get someone who know what he/she is doing. Just did a chargeback on my credit card. And after only ten minutes of me submitting this review on their website, I received an email from Gamestop that they will not be posting my review.

    This is a really short version of events. I am a long time customer of Gamestop having bought in excess of 200 games. Recently, I expected to collect 2 pre-ordered games and they said that I didn't pay for them. They are now working to take a third pre-paid game. I called corporate to fix the problem but they too say I do not have my last pre-order game listed on the account. I have contacted the Il. Attorney General's office and sent them proof that I had one. Because of the prior bad experiences, I saved a screenshot of the last pre-order on my phone. I usually pay the full amount of $60 or better on a pre-order. I have done this many times over many years without a problem; Never again.

    Because their corporate is a joke & doesn't care about customer complaints - check this out. I called in yesterday to customer service inquiring about a promo code I found online. They told me they couldn't accept it but offered me a $10 discount as a courtesy. I countered by saying that the promo code is also listed on their website, then my phone died and I decided to not call back because I had already waited over an hour to get some sort of resolution. The day after I called back. The same person answered & I asked for the $10 discount I was offered the previous day. With a snarky attitude, she asked me why I didn't accept it yesterday, put me on hold to check notes & told me that the discount had expired and there are no more discounts left. I said that it wasn't a coupon, but a courtesy & courtesies don't expire - (you know that's kind of the point of customer service).

    I asked to speak with a supervisor - she said that wasn't possible - (I spoke to one the previous day, so I know it was). I told her if can speak to anyone else can do the job better & she hung up on me, which kicked me out onto the hold line - I dialed in to speak to someone again using a different department (gift cards) & guess what? It's the same female (who told me her is Jane) for the 3rd time. I've never been hung up on by a customer service rep from a company as large as Gamestop. I was going to buy a couple of gaming systems and video games but I take my business to other companies that actually know what customer service is & until Gamestop realizes what it is. Posting this review on other sites & telling many friends/families. Bye :)

    This company is literally the worst company online we've EVER dealt with. We made an online purchase in early June. Supposedly the order had been shipped but tracking showed that USPS never received it. Emails to customer service were never responded to. Spent 30 minutes exactly on hold listening to their on hold ads only to have the phone call magically disconnected 2 minutes into conversation with the customer service agent, "coincidentally" just when he was about to tell us what happened to the package.

    Spent another 30 minutes on hold exactly to speak to another service agent who claimed that the package must've gotten lost in the warehouse and they were going to ship another one. Same thing happened again. We don't believe they even had the product in stock. This time we demanded a refund. They said it would take 3-5 business days. It's been 2 weeks and no refund processed, which means we get to spend another 30 minutes of our time dealing with this nonsense. Absolute ripoff!

    I have a client who lives out of the country, and collects special editions of video games. Since Gamestop has a lot of exclusives, I am unfortunately, forced to make pre-orders from their online shop. Their online shop is an absolute disaster, and there is virtually ZERO customer support. Once you make a purchase online, you are on your own. You can try calling, but that can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, and if you do reach someone, good luck with them having even a clue about your situation; they're awful. You can attempt to email customer service, but guess what? They actually never ever reply. Yes, you read that right, they literally will never respond to your email. You will only get an automated response that the initial email was received. I've never in my life experienced such astoundingly-poor customer service.

    And here just a few of the issues I had to deal with: Last year (2017), three of my credit cards were compromised because GameStop had a hack, but they failed to notify customers for OVER A MONTH! I had to discover unusual activity on my accounts and put a stop weeks before letters went out to their customers warning them to contact their bank. THEIR SYSTEM WILL DEFAULT TO AUTOMATICALLY SAVING YOUR CREDIT CARD AT CHECKOUT. TRUST ME, UNCHECK IT!

    We have received several parcels which were limited editions that were poorly packed and arrived crushed. They have no concept of the various materials that make up certain types of packaging. Special Edition products lose their value when they come smashed, and it's a collector's worst nightmare. They'll throw a $150.00 game in a flat mailer, and not even the protective bubble type. We are talking a completely flat cardboard mailer! Only when it's too big for these mailers will they use a box.

    Just recently (which drove me to post this entire complaint), they decided to charge me for something that was shipped and charged five months ago. They actually duplicated an order they sent FIVE MONTHS AGO. I couldn't figure out what the charge was when I looked at my bank account, so I kept looking at any current pre-orders that possibly were getting ready to ship. No, that was not the issue. I had to go all the way back to early March to find the duplicate issue. I emailed them immediately, but got no response. The parcel has arrived today, and now I have to go through the hassle of returning it for a refund. Who has time for this?

    This company is an abomination. If it weren't for my client, I wouldn't spend a penny at this disorganized, mess of a chain. Thankfully, he's the one paying for it as I would never support such a poorly run business. People, if you're purchasing video games for yourself, your kids, relatives, friends, whatever. Go to Amazon, Best Buy or Walmart if you have to. Oh, and their shipping prices are a scam. They charge by the individual item, so if you buy a basic game disc that weighs under 5 oz, they'll charge about $5.00, but each game you add on they will charge an additional $5.00. So, for 3 games, easily still under a pound, they'll charge you $15.00!! How insane is that? They should be going by weight like most honest retailers.

    There are numerous reasons I dislike GameStop! Never once have I had a good experience in any of the stores I have visited over the years. Seems like they just got worse! Do I need to know where to begin! How about they rip you off every chance they get! They overcharge on some merchandise for starters. One time I had to get the power of words so I had to pay for a membership I wasn’t going to use. Then they gave me the subscription to the magazine I never said I wanted and threw in the trash. Would not refund me that. You spent all this money there and get a few measly reward points. Did you have to buy a bunch of other stuff to build them up to even get rewards. That whole concept is just messed up.

    You shouldn’t have to buy a membership that you always have to renew in order to get rewards. What little reward you get after so long is ridiculous! A rewards program should be a free program that offers you rewards for shopping in their store like most other companies offer. The company should not be making money off the program that shows appreciation for customers and offers them benefits in their store.

    The buy sell trade idea is a joke and that’s the biggest rip off and what makes me disgusted the most. So I bought a console and games from them. Sometime later I needed money so I sold it back at a disgustingly unreasonable low price. It’s almost laughable at what they offer for sell and trade. Then what they will do is put all my merchandise back on the shelf and triple the price. Then turn around and do it to some other naive unsuspectingly customer. Yeah they gave me a third of what I paid for the used merchandise in the first place. Then they wouldn’t void the transaction and stated that they are not a pawnshop. So I basically just got screwed right in my face! Buy sell trade should never have existed there. Because GameStop is not reasonable and too greedy.

    Associates are Expected to almost harass you while you are in the store with suggestions do you want to buy this and that and all kinds of about pre-sales and dumb promotions. Half the time they go even have what I’m looking for. So I am they are feeling disappointed and having to look and see if I can find something else of similarity. At times I have found that some merchandise that usually comes with certain accessories and such does not come with it at GameStop and you have to spend more money to purchase whatever is needed with it.

    I have never ever left GameStop after all these years. With that good experience and there’s always some kinda disappointment. ALWAYS. So this last time I swore to myself I will never step foot In a Game Stop ever again. I miss the good old days when there was Hastings and a variety of gaming stores I could choose from and not have to worry about getting a good deal or ripped off! eBay and Amazon are the way to go today! Definitely NOT GameStop NOT for anything!

    I purchased a game (State of Decay 2 Ultimate Edition Xbox One) in store, physical disc. I get home and wait several hours for it to install. Once finished I go to play the game but it stays on the same loading screen forever. This issue is common and I began trying the various troubleshooting methods. Like most people this still didn't work so with the receipt (less than a week from purchase) I went back to the same store to get a refund. They will not refund new games that have been opened. They are only give me another disk stating that the disk was defective but they had just given their last copy away for the same issue but I can drive to a different store. Suspecting it was the game itself and not the disc I asked what I needed to do to get a refund. Contact Microsoft they say. Wrong move there because that is how I discovered that it is most definitely not a disc issue.

    The problem is with the game and Microsoft has been aware since 5/22/2018 when they posted it on the main Live Status Page. Had I purchased from Microsoft they would be happy to refund my money but since it was Gamestop I have to go through them. So I called back to the store I was just in citing my new knowledge asking if I, could get a refund since Microsoft confirms that there is a major game (not disc) defect but again I am told no from the store manager. "We can only give you another disc." I took this matter to their corporate offices stating that they had the same responsibility to stand behind the products they sell just as the manufacturer does but still they refused any sort of refund for selling a defective product.

    I try to submit reviews for the game on their website so people are aware of the issue and every time they are "moderated" and removed. Now I have turned to the BBB complaint #**. I suspect this will also not resolve anything as their first response told me to contact the developer (just like their go to in-store response was) despite stating in my original complaint my detailed conversation I already had with Microsoft. Clearly they didn't even read it.

    Gamestop. A place where you will always get scammed out of your money. Worse than eBay I might add. Here is my story. Yesterday, I received an old PS4 that I bought off eBay. It was in good working condition and everything. So I walked up to Gamestop with two beat up Xbox One controllers and a working PS4 without the controller. So guess what happened? I got ** again. Oh yeah, I have been screwed by this company even during my teen years. So just like Xbox, EA and Capcom, it left a BITTER taste in my mouth. Not only was I charged for the controller and usb cord *they could have used an old one but whatever* I was dinged because of a part that was loose on the PS4.

    I was so upset with myself that I forgot to glue it together at home, that I only came home with $89.39. I was so mad at myself. This is the last time that I will ever do business with Gamestop again. I hope to God that Gamestop just dies in a few years. Who needs them and EA? Oh and to the eBay buyer who screwed me out of a $170 trade in, have a nice life. I could have used that trade in money for Uber or for gas. Gamescam. Power to your money.

I told them that I can just take the game back to a Gamestop but they said it doesn't matter for the situation. So I ask about the game I didn't receive, the guy said it will ship in 3-5 business days. It is now 2 weeks later and still nothing. I call again to see what's going on, it's not that hard to ship a game that weighs next to nothing.

    Now I get a lady that says they aren't able to send a replacement game since they already sent a replacement, even though it was the last guy's fault I got the same game I already have. So now I am supposed to get a refund in another 5-7 days and I will have to go to the closest store hoping that they even have the game. Just such an inconvenience. I would not recommend buying bigger orders online that are apparently too complicated for their warehouse to successfully complete your order. You're better off just going to the store to begin with and getting all of the items that same day. Gamestop, I know you're really trying to get online sales since not as much people go to your stores anymore to buy games, but please try to improve the process of maybe having your warehouse or stores, wherever is in charge of sending out the orders, and having them double check orders before shipping. This should cut problem cases in half at least. Thank you.

    Yes I'm trying to get some help here. Gamestop has credited my money back to an account that I can't get my money back from but won't help me get the money back from the financial institution. I told them to put the money on a gift card in advance and they did not so can y'all please help me. I made this order on March the 7th and I've been trying to get my order or my game system or the refund and they supposedly done the refund on April the 2nd at 6:15 p.m.

    But my bank is telling me they do not have the money, that where I do not have an account anymore, that they can't, there's nothing they can do, that the only thing that I can do is go through Gamestop and Gamestops not wanting to help me at all. I've called him at least 30 times so and I've got UPS investigating so anyways I figured I would try this hoping that I would get something accomplished. All I want to do is either get my $288 back on a Gamestop gift card or get another PlayStation 4 Slim 1tb. Thank you for your time.

    I was shopping one day and in line waiting to check out when an irate associate approached me and told me to hurry up or leave. I said that I was waiting in line to check out, that I'd be on my way after that with no issue. She then changed her mind and told me to leave now or she'd call the police. I asked to speak to a manager and the employee started cussing at me, she called her girlfriend into the store who began harassing me, and she threw receipts at me as I checked out with another associate. I complained to corporate but the manager actually deleted the security footage so corporate thought I was lying, but nonetheless told me they'd handle it. I waited until I received a callback from corporate before I returned to the store.

    On my next visit, that same employee was there and she immediately began cussing at me and when I was ready to check out, she started saying "they can help you at our other location" and wouldn't serve me. She continued hurling insults at me and I admittedly lost my temper and broke an item (a t.v. monitor) and tossed the socks I was holding across the counter saying that she could put them back. I know I was wrong and I do regret breaking the item. However, that doesn't justify their behavior and what happened next was highly illegal, even felonious, but all condoned by Gamestop management. I called the manager and offered to pay for the broken item but she refused, saying she wanted to involve the police. When the police arrived, she lied about the cost of the item, saying it was 2,000 dollars which affected the charge I was given.

    They also had me charged with assault because I tossed the socks. Afterwards, the employee who started the whole issue filed a no-contact order against me claiming that I was stalking her, which was disproven in court and the order was dismissed. In that hearing, she once again stated that the item was worth $2,000. The manager also told the courts it was worth 2,000 and they persisted with this lie until my lawyer demanded a receipt. Furthermore, my lawyer filed a subpoena for the video surveillance to prove that I was accosted and provoked, but GameStop directly refused the court order and destroyed the video except for the moment that I broke the monitor. The evidence was inadmissible in court because of their tampering. The actual cost of the item was only $89.

    The two employees who literally perjured their comments were also slandering me and saying that I was stalking the employee who started it all. I have had no contact with this employee outside of the incidents described. I have taken responsibility for my actions and paid restitution already (thankfully the charges were dismissed in court). GameStop never even so much as apologized for their behavior. They have literally committed felony perjury against me and nothing has been done. I will never shop at any GameStop location or online again. They are willing to commit crimes against their customers.

    Worst customer service experience. I tried to replace a defective Joy-Cons, called them, explain the situation and the agent said the issue would be solved. They sent a UPS label for me to send the defective items and receive new ones, almost two weeks later I called again to get an update on the replacement, this time the agent said they made a mistake and didn't process the order, like 1/2 hour later, she said I need to send the whole console (which is working perfectly fine) because it was bought as a bundle...

    I don't need to exchange a console my son is playing with for almost 2 months, I need to change defectives joy cons ( which they sell individually). So I requested my joy cons back... guess what? This time they said it wasn't possible. So I requested for a supervisor, they put me in hold like 20 more minutes I guess for me to give up, a new agent answer and after a whole new explanation agreed to send back MY joy cons. 2 hours and an unresolved issue. At this point I don't have the replacement or my previous joy cons.

    I've been a member of GameStop PowerUp rewards since 2010. I buy a lot of games from GameStop and I mean a lot of games. My Power Up Rewards at 400,000 points. I order a game online this year for the first time. I never received my product so I call them. They gave me points. They say they was going to replace my game but I have not never received them. One day I decided to look at my points and seeing the stuff that I wanted pre-ordered on my account. I cannot log into my account so I called GameStop the 1-800 number. They told me that my account was closed. I said why. They could not give me a reason. I kept calling and I kept calling and I kept calling and nobody can give me a reason why they closed my account. They said told me to look at the terms and conditions. I look at the terms and conditions 15000 and it told me nothing that I did wrong.

    I finally got ahold of somebody in the corporate office name Josh. He told me that my account was closed because of the term tradition. Again he couldn't tell me why either. I call the corporate switchboard of GameStop. They told me that I need to speak to Holly ** assistant to the president. Holly ** never return my phone call. I left her email messages. I left her phone calls and she never returned my phone call. That's great customer service being sarcastic. I finally got a phone call from a guy named Joe. He said I would never talk to Holly ** ever. I said, "I don't want to talk to you." He had a nasty attitude.

    All I want is my points back. My 400,000 points back. My account back from 2010 to today. I saved all my points. Never used them. Everybody told me I should use my points. I said I want to save them and all the sudden they delete it. For what from what I was told finally don't reason. They closed my account because the foreign customer service rep gave me points. That's not a reason to close so my account I think is unfair. I just upgrade it to the Elite Pro. Spent $30. I want my account back and my 400,000 points back.

    I was told lie after lie after lie from customer service regarding why my Trade Credit was no longer on my card… 1. I was told 12/22/17 that my Trade Credit had expired after trying to redeem at my local store. I called a number the store employee gave me (even though it states specifically on the card it does not). Pointed this out and was put on hold only to hear lie 2. 2. I was told my card was redeemed on Dec 2016 (which unless someone broke into my storage unit, found my card, redeemed it and put it back into my storage without any indication: this is impossible. The card was in storage until June of this year where it was a bit warped by heat and still wrapped in the original receipt). I explained this and was put on hold to hear lie 3.

    3. I was told it was redeemed for cash sometime in Jan of this year, I demanded to know what store/time/date as to put them on the spot, they could not tell me (I explained again this is impossible based on the reason stated above)…was put on hold again to be told lie 4. 4. I was told it was redeemed on May 4th 2015 (I explained that that was the date I sold my Xbox/controllers/games for trade credit and this was the day the card was loaded…the employee then stated “oh, that’s right”) was put on hold again to wait for lie 5.

    5. I was told that I would need to escalated my claim to a different number and I would receive my gift card in 3-5 business days (I called the number the next day) I was told lie 6. 6. (I RECORDED THIS CALL) I called given number and spoke to Jesus. I explained all of the above again in detail the circumstance of my situation and told them I was calling to get my credit returned to me, and was told immediately that my card had been redeemed in Sept of 2016, I demanded to know date/time/store again because this was impossible and was putting them on the spot to prove their lie. I was put on hold again to be told lie #7.

    7. My card was redeemed on 12/16/16 @9:13 am! I immediately argued that the stores don’t even open that early, and was put on hold again being told I was to be handed to a supervisor (which technically would be lie #8 I guess because I was not transferred to a supervisor). 8. Jesus came back and asked for my contact information including my email stating that in 3 business days I would receive in my email my trade credit balance in the form of an electronic gift card.

    9. It is now 4 business days later and nothing is in my email/spam from Gamestop. This company has nothing credible to offer to a consumer.

    I received a handful of GameStop gift cards from friends a few years ago. They totaled $70. Looking at the fine prints, the gift cards do not expire. When I went to the store to use them, they told them the cards have been used which is impossible since the pin numbers have not been scratched yet. They told me to call their 1-800 number. I called and waited 20 minutes to speak to Customer Service who confirmed the cards have not been used; they were de-activated. They promised to issue me virtual credits. They took down my information and my email. They said the credit will take a week to issue. I don't know why since that's a long time for me to wait and use money that belongs to me. I asked for a confirmation number. They insisted a confirmation number is not necessary.

    Would you be surprised if I tell you a week later, I never received my virtual credit? I didn't even receive an email confirming I called and reported the problem. I am calling their 1-800 number right now and is on a 60-minute wait due to high call volume. It's really unacceptable. I'm not optimistic this issue would be resolved properly.

    I ordered a figure from Gamestop's online store recently and was extremely dissatisfied with my purchase. I am not a serious collector of figurines by any means, but when my order arrived, I noticed that the box had been previously opened. Once I removed the figure from its packaging, I also noticed it was covered in dust, so while Gamestop's site said this was a brand new figure, it was obviously a floor model that they sold me. While I rarely post reviews, I was disappointed, and so I left honest feedback through their 'review' system. I just received an email from Gamestop rejecting my review. For those of you who may think I said something unsavory, this is my review verbatim:

    "Great statue, false advertising. For the most part the figure is in good shape, but I am giving this a 2 star review because: 1. There are a few dings on the figure. 2. I noticed the box was open when I received it (the seal was cut) and 3. The figure was covered in dust. I can only assume that this was a display piece in one of your stores. The sales page lists this item as new, but it certainly was NOT! Very disappointed in this purchase."

    I tried contacting their customer service number and just sat on hold. The 'contact us' options on their website are non-existent. With all of the other purchasing options available now, and after my poor treatment, I believe my many years of doing business with this company has finally come to an end. Since they apparently won't allow negative experience posts on their website, I just decided to leave this experience here as a warning to others.

    Lies and horrible overseas "customer service": Ok, so I sat on the phone a total of almost six hours trying to get a hold of ANYONE to cancel this order that was placed by mistake and no one ever did answer the phone. Very very unimpressed with their mobile AND desktop site, as neither one allowed me to cancel this order even after trying immediately. When I finally did get someone this morning (after waiting another hour and a half) they refused to cancel the order even though it HAS NOT been shipped, still says open and isn't even in the process of being packaged. It even says on their website that there will be shipping delays since they're so busy or whatever which ticks me off even more, they don't WANT you to cancel anything, their company is tanking! And it's obvious why that is!!

    After reading many reviews and feedback online, I see this is not in my case an exception. This happens to almost 100% of their customers who try to cancel or edit their order. I am also very disturbed about the reviews on this company saying that people's credit card information has been stolen and that the site isn't secure.

    All I wanted to do was change my order to a NON refurbished console, which would actually have gained them more money but I WILL certainly be returning the $335 dollars worth of merchandise I purchased and take my business elsewhere. Won't even risk removing anything from the package, going straight back to the crooks. I've honestly never experienced such horrible customer service or dealt with a WORSE website as far as functionality goes in my entire life. Also, the fact that I wasted over 8 hours of my life dealing with this company makes me incredibly salty as well, and I will definitely be telling all of my 2800 Facebook and Instagram followers about my experience unless this is remedied.

    Thanks in advance for anything you choose to do to make this right, GAMESTOP. And to those considering them for ANYTHING this holiday season, I would strongly advise against it. Make sure to read other reviews online, boy I wish I had! This crap will probably ruin my kids' Xmas and I am SUPER hot about it, shame on these jerks!!!

    The website has nothing to help customers, not even proof of your order history, no email or chat for customer service. You finally find a phone number that says they are available anytime and call to find out they have certain hours of operation... But there is a feedback button if you get their app. Got the app, sent email, been two days and no response. Bought 2 Nintendo 3DS, one came in a bubble lined mailer envelope. Let me repeat that, our $110 refurbished electronic device containing a lithium ion battery came in an envelope.

    Neither package contained a proper receipt showing that we also paid for the 2 year warranty. When we tried to return the product in the store, the nice associates commented that they hate the warehouse and that they were unsure how to proceed to get me my money back. There was NO RETURN LABEL in the package, either.

    I spent more than 3 hours over two phone calls over two days to talk for 15 minutes to a real person who did not understand some of what I was saying. After all that, I finally have a return label that supposedly will not cost me anything, but no lithium ion label for the package. But I am promised a supervisor who knows what I am talking about will get back to me today. The incomplete shipping invoice even states that a lithium ion label is required. What they did for me was to type it in the description of the label so that it looks like I am shipping lithium ion batteries! That would require a hazardous shipping bill. SMH.

    12/4/17 Went to GameStop at South Beach Parkway in Jacksonville Beach FL to purchase a game for Christmas for my son. I typically avoid GameStop because I've generally not been impressed with the stores; in this case, it was next to another store I visited so I tried to save time. The game is a download only game, and as such, the only way to purchase is by taking one of the many display cards to the register at which time they will print a redemption code on your receipt. I purchased the game for my son. When I was done checking out, the store leader, Alexander didn't give me the display card (which also has the download instructions on the back) along with my receipt. I asked for the card, and he stated that I couldn't have it. I said that doesn't make sense, and I know that similar games I've purchased at Best Buy do come with the card.

    Alex's response was "this isn't Best Buy." I told Alex that if he wasn't going to give me the card, then I wanted my money returned. He attempted to return my money, and then stated "the system isn't allowing me to return your money," handed me the receipt and card, then stated "don't ever come here again." I am more than shocked at his behavior, rudeness, and clear intentional violation of Gamestop’s published corporate core values. I told him that I would be reporting his behavior to Corporate, and his response was "no you won't, and I really don't care." I will never provide Gamestop with future business. Further, as a senior leader at a fortune 100, I'm fully aware that employees demonstrating such behaviors and statements is clearly learned through corporate culture.

Again I looked it up and had no tracking information. I did get an email from ups that said it had been delayed. I finally received the products on the 27th. At this point I had called them 5 different times and waited on hold at least 30 minutes each time. When one of the games arrived it looked like it had gotten wet at one point.

Upon her return from that and various other errands she informed me it was not in stock and had to be ordered. As the game is over a month old I assumed a day or two until I received it until I saw the receipt stating almost a two week wait. I obviously assumed one of their horses on their team pulling the wagon that hauls their shipments must have thrown a shoe or else their game production facility was striking again.

    My wife returned to the store after an hour waiting on the phone to cancel the order only to find out the not only would Gamestop not cancel the order but also would not return my trades unless we paid the new cost that they would be selling my games for. About $350 versus the $50 I was given in credit... That being said I will never use Gamestop again for any purchase regardless of the fact I have primarily used them for almost six years now making at least one purchase per month. This was my first time attempting to trade in games.

    Every time I purchase a product at their stores I have noticed that within less than 2 months their merchandise breaks. I bought a charger for my son’s Xbox controllers and within 2 months it no longer works. I have purchased him numerous Xbox controllers with the same issue and now experienced the same thing with his Xbox headset. So ridiculous!!! I just bought it a little over a month ago for his birthday. All of this stuff is NOT cheap either. It is so frustrating too because who keeps all the receipts for that long. I shouldn’t have to.

    I called corporate store (817-424-2000) because I was in line since 7 am to confirm that I was not wasting my time waiting in line for the console and I was assured 3 TIMES that the store had it in stock and that since I was the first one I was guarantee to have one with me today. So after the store finally opened, at 10:00 am, the guy told me, with an attitude, that they didn't have it in stock yet, that they were "in transit" and that I didn't have to call corporate to find out if they had in stock. I proceed to call Corporate, again, and now they are saying that they never told anyone that they were going to have any console available today and that I would have to wait in line when it becomes available, like the rest.

    I was transferred to 3 different "supervisors" but the last one, Nathan Supervisor at corporate, was the worst one. No human empathy whatsoever, I asked for them to review the notes and listen to the conversation that I had and he said that he will, but will be handled internally and that I still will have to wait when it becomes online and do the line like everyone else, after I spent 3 hours waiting for the store to open and 1 hour on the phone. He refused to escalate the situation to the district manager or provide me with his information. Then the Super NES was released. I have a very bad experience, also at the same store, where they were telling people that they didn't have it at the store yet selling it to their friends and random people that were coming in.

    I made a complaint and yet, was "handled" internally. I want someone from corporate that have power enough to contact me. I have been trying to get this the right way for my son's birthday, which happens to be today, October 11th (he turned 10) and is currently at the hospital and I was so looking forward to make his 10th birthday a very unforgettable one... I am a pro member and all the comments from the guy from corporate that told me that they had it and that also called the store to double check that they had it, are there and they can always listen to the conversation. Please, I need to get that Super NES classic for my son today.

    I preorder NBA 2k18 from the website. It took almost 2 weeks for them to tell me they sent the game but I never received it. I call about it on a Friday and they promised me they would overnight me a copy of the game and I should receive it by Monday. Come Monday and still no game. I call back and wait another 45 minutes for someone to pick up the phone, when I finally spoke with someone they had no record of a game being shipped to me so I asked for a supervisor. When I spoke with the supervisor he ensured me that I would have a refund within 5 days. No refund was given.

    I called again today to check the status of my refund and she told me that there was no notes about a refund and I was never given. I have been waiting over 3 weeks for a game that I preordered in order to get it early. The customer service was horrible. When I spoke with another supervisor today she acted as if she didn't care and was trying to rush me off the phone. I could have just went to the store and purchased the game if I would have known I would have to wait almost a month after the game came out. I am very disappointed in the way I was treated as a customer. Someone needs to be held liable and I need my money back so I can go get the game from somewhere else or I need my game. There is no reason I should have to wait this long for something that I preordered and should have received early. Apparently I can't get any help from the Gamestop customer service so I don't know what to do.

    I purchased a PS4 for my son in July. In August, the controller stopped working. I took the controller to a Gamestop store in town and was told I would have to bring my system in so they can test it. I thought that was ridiculous. I'm sure they have systems there to test it! I called customer service about 3 weeks ago, waited for an hour to speak with someone and was told a new controller would be sent out. I called today (waited 20 mins) to see what happened to the remote and they informed me I would have to send the whole bundle back, and I'm sure wait 2 months to get a new system back. I informed the rep that I'm just going to purchase another controller for my son, but I will never shop at Gamestop again. I have spent lots of money at Gamestop and it should not be this difficult to receive a replacement controller that was obviously defective from the start. Very poor service.

    My son and I accidentally purchased a downloadable expansion pack for the wrong gaming platform. We never redeemed the download code and immediately purchased it again for the correct platform. I then proceeded to sit on hold for an hour to be told, very rudely, that it was my mistake and they do not issue refunds on downloadable content.

    There is no way I'll believe that they are unable to track and confirm whether or not a download code has been redeemed or acknowledge that I re-purchased the same game on a different platform within the same hour. Obviously they can track redemptions because if you try and redeem a code a 2nd time it won't work again. This is total fraud. I can't believe GameStop will happily keep a child's hard earned video game money and hide behind a crappy policy. Granted we did make a little mistake but that should not result in a $20 +tax win for GameStop.

Wasted my time traveling over here on the bus.

    About a month and a half ago I bought my son a pre owned PS4 and extra controller. When purchasing I paid for the extra year warranty on both (29.99 on system, 10.99 for a controller and I thought it was 2 years at time of purchase but receipt says 1). Anyway I bought this for my son who plays solo all the time so I never used the second controller.

    Today we sat down to play 2 player MLB and the teams just kept scrolling. It was the left stick on the pre owned controller. I bring it back and tell him, and he says, "Well I'll switch it out for you but normally we don't do that past 30 days." I said, "I hope you do, I have a 2 year warranty" to which he replied, "No you only have a system warranty." After 2 minutes of whether I had it, he sees it on the receipt after all (6 foot long receipt with 2 items on it). After switching it out he asks, "Do you want the warranty on this one?" I said, "Doesn't the warranty still apply on the original?" He said, "No. Once I turn in the controller it voids it." "So you mean by me buying a broken controller and not bringing the busted thing back in 30 days you, on day 31, immediately are not responsible for selling broken garbage?" He said, "Yeah basically."

    Moral: NEVER EVER buy pre owned from Gamestop. I thought these things were sent to corporate somewhere and refurbed, but they literally just wipe em off and stick it in a bag and put it on the shelf. That broken controller you sold them for $10 is sitting broken on the shelf next day for some idiot to buy for $50. I asked if they even tested the trade ins and his reply was, "Yeah we make sure the buttons don't stick and wipe it off." Unreal... Never again Gamestop.

    Went into store to trade in what turned into 300 plus in store credit. That was the only good from this story. When I went to trade in, I waited in line just like any other person. Finally it was my turn and I go to trade in my items. The clerk starts taking my items, scans them in, and then gets to my new style Nintendo 3DS. He took it over and plugged it in, played around with it and then took other customers, while I waited. Then the phone rang and he engaged in a conversation, while I waited. He told me he couldn't find the serial number on the 3DS, asked me to wait and then did a trade in with other customers, checked out other customers, while I waited...

    So he then tells me he needs to "Google" how to find the serial number, and then checks out another customer. He gets a few tools and takes apart the 3DS? He still couldn't find it. A group of people walk in and he asks them where the serial number is, he takes the face plate off and finds the number. At this point I have waited about 30 minutes while other people were helped. I traded all the stuff in to get the Arms Nintendo Switch Bundle, pay the difference in cash and place the order. He tells me it will ship in one to two days and I should have it next week.

    I ordered this on Tuesday, June 26th. When I looked at the receipt in the car, the receipt says that the pre-order won't even ship until July 20th-27th. That is a full month after the order... I am not really all that bent out of shape about it because I am not desperate and I am a reasonable person but this might have been the top 5 worst customer service experiences I have had.

    I ordered an iPhone 6s Plus from Gamestop. It was described as being a "Premium Refurbished" item. The item I received was in poor condition. The lens on the back camera was completely shattered with most of the glass missing. There were significant tool marks around the entire case at the end of the glass. Corners of the phone were all scuffed (but be realistic - this is one thing that might be expected of a refurbished unit). A premium refurbished unit should not have a broken camera and should not have lots of significant tool marks on the case around the glass.

    I returned the item for a replacement. After not getting any acknowledgement from Gamestop for over a week, I sent them an email which they sent a robo-email response, but no other response. After another four days, I called them. They told me that the replacement phone had been shipped earlier in the day and that I should have gotten an email already (No, I had not, and still have not gotten an email). Checking the UPS tracking number that they gave me over the phone, I checked UPS and found that the shipping request had just been created (to be fair, I could not determine the time it was created), but the phone had not yet been provided to UPS.

    I believe that Gamestop would still not have sent the replacement phone had I not called. It just seems like they put the shipping request in to UPS while I was on the phone talking to them (they had me on hold for about ten minutes). To summarize my view, the originally provided product was not as described, the replacement was slow, and I feel they were dishonest in dealing with me. I plan to send the replacement phone back for this poor treatment. On a good note, the customer service representatives that I spoke to were courteous (even if I feel they weren't above board).

    I will never give Gamestop my business again. They messed up my Nintendo Switch pre-order badly. None of my friends who ordered from Best Buy, Amazon, or Walmart had any of these problems. I accidentally put the wrong shipping address for my Nintendo Switch pre-order. I called to correct it about 2 weeks before release day and upgrade my shipping. Gamestop said no problem, they can change the shipping address and happily took my $15 to upgrade to release day shipping.

    However, when I got an email confirmation that my item was about to ship on March 2nd, it still had the old shipping address. I spent a total of 3 hours talking to customer service representatives that day. The first one said I had to make the change with UPS. I talked to a UPS representative who said it would not be possible to do that without a $100 charge. The second representative told me the item would have to be delivered to the incorrect address, recalled, and then sent to the correct address. Ok, fine I thought. I was willing to wait a few extra days. Another downside was that I would not get a refund on my expedited shipping until I actually received the item.

    Still, I was willing to wait. I have kept track of the item on UPS over the last few days and it just arrived back to Gamestop today. I was now expecting to get an email confirmation for the item to ship to the correct address. Instead, I got one that said I would soon be refunded. So I, again, spent an hour on the phone with customer service. I am now told that I will have the item by the end of the week.

    However, at this point I have no faith in customer service. Either GameStop's computer systems are terrible and don't correctly update customer information, or GameStop doesn't have capable customer service representatives. Either way, I ordered the Switch for 3/3 and will receive it 3/10 at the earliest. Or the week of 3/12. This is by far the worst customer experience I have ever had. And, I have had to go out of my way to even get something as simple as a shipping refund on a order they messed up. Other companies go out of their way to offer gift cards when things like this happen. GameStop definitely will not have my business in the future.

They basically refused to address the question as to why it was canceled or if they were even willing to remedy the problem. I know they canceled the order due to stock problems and I would have been fine not being able to make the order at all. Instead I was allowed to make the order and assumed for the next month and half that I was going to be receiving a Switch on day 1.

    When I called them, the employee I spoke to kept saying "yeah" as I explained who I was and why I was calling. When I finished explaining, he said "yeah" again. I waited several seconds for him to tell me whether or not they were holding one before I had to ask "So, did you find one or not?" The answer was no, and I didn't really feel very strongly that he even checked or knew anything about it. Do not order from GameStop for limited availability items. I could have ordered the same from 3-4 other companies and actually had the item by nearly the date that GameStop had just shipping the empty envelope.

    In Oct of 2016 I ordered from GameStop.com a XBOX 360 trap portal costing 9.99. The Item that was shipped was a 4.99 trap portal for a PS3 or PS4. I tried to get a hold of GameStop.com and their website only allows you to email them. Sent an email, waiting a response. Called a local GameStop store in West Jordan that told me that they are separate from the GameStop.com and didn't have a tel number said GameStop.com has gone to email. Suggested google to look up a customer service number. I will try by phone next. I hope the company can make this right.

    When you order a 10.00 digital code for Nintendo and the site says 24-48 hours for delivery to your email there is no excuse why it should take over 10 days, and over 6 hours on the phone (between hold and talk time) to still have it not be resolved.

    So, I order a Sony VR unit with the move sticks. Next day shipping... Came in when it was supposed to except for the move sticks. They claim it shipped with them. Of course they did... Having waited on hold for almost 30 minutes for a customer service rep that is in INDIA, I finally got them to cancel the move sticks... but... I asked them for an email stating the cancellation of the move sticks showing a credit back to my PayPal account. Days later and multiple emails to customer service and I've still not received an email from them nor a credit.

    Next issue... I had to go to a local GameStop store... 10 miles away and buy refurbished move sticks for $75 bucks. Get home... only to realize no charger cord is included with the sticks... Thanks guys at the store for making me aware of that... So back to the store I go to buy a cable so I can charge them and sync them to the VR... Well, now, just 3 days later and one of the move sticks has quit working completely. I'll never buy another thing from GameStop. I should've just ordered from Best Buy.

    A while ago, I bought a pre-owned copy of Max Payne 3 for the PS3. Since I am not a resident of the United States of America, I was only able to play the game when a got home. Disappointed I was when the game failed to install, and even more when I discovered scratches at the back of the disc. Since I was a long-time customer and that had never happened to me before, I decided not to worry, since there was nothing I could do and I believed that would never happen again.

    Last week, in Orlando, I bought a pre-owned copy of The Evil Within for the PS4. I asked the store employee if pre-owned games were tested by the store before they were sold. He assured me of it and said I should not worry. Living in another country, I was only able to play when I arrived, earlier today. Another disappointment. The game would crash before reaching the main menu. I have been a faithful customer to the store for years now, and I had never seen such a disrespect for those that buy its products. I have always recommended it to my friends from the US and South America, but now I am not sure if trusting the store is a good idea.

Used controllers for PS4 are $55 pre-owned and start at $60 for new. Walmart has the same thing for $45. And games are the same way. Can't see paying that much markup for the same product somewhere else and since that's all they sell I won't be purchasing anything from them.

    They are impossible!!! Both my son and daughter ordered games from them -one a month before Christmas to get it FOR Christmas. No they did not send it out. We finally found their customer service number after searching for a bit (it is not on the website). We're on hold for almost an hour to cancel the order. My daughter pre-ordered a game, months ago, counting the days until it came out... Little did we know-she ordered it awhile ago and her credit card needed to be updated- the website froze every time we went to update. Called again, waited almost an hour, even though we paid extra to get it the day it came out... We will also now be getting that late and no refund for the extra we paid to get it on the day of release. I am horrified by their website which will not even allow you to complain to them. It freezes again and again and no phone number.

    Very bad online order experience. Ordered an Apple Watch from GameStop online on December 26, which eventually got lost in UPS transit. Never notified that my order had been lost. Countless emails were sent to onlineorder.egain@gamestop.com but none were returned. Took a customer service call 3 weeks later to finally get a replacement order, which should come in 5-7 business days. Hopefully GameStop will improve its online ordering and customer service systems, but in the mean time, it's a very bad idea to order online from this company.

    After emailing my problem to Game Stop we received a shipping notification via email and our "delayed" product was sent overnight. I appreciate the fast attention to this matter however my trust is pretty much gone and won't be ordering online from Game Stop again.

    Original Review: Jan. 17, 2017

    I placed an order online with Gamestop after going to multiple physical locations. My order was placed on a Wednesday - Jan 11th. I chose the value shipping for $6 because it said 4-7 days which was fine with me. If I had seen a time frame longer than that I would of paid for upgraded shipping. Today is the 17 and I've spent an hour trying to track down any hint of my order. I couldn't even find a Game Stop phone number to reach customer service. Gamestop.com account says nothing and can't even find my order. Finally figured out that it has not been shipped or processed. With one day remaining in the 4-7 day promised window. I finally call and get through to someone who says I chose the wrong shipping (first off who is he to tell me which shipping is wrong or right?). He said I chose the 10 day shipping. I said no - I'm staring at something that says 4-7 days. He ignored that and said they have until next week to get it to me.

    I said, "What makes you think (operator ID# **) Game Stop has 14 days to ship a small item to me when I PAID FOR 4-7 DAY SHIPPING??" He kept talking over me and changing the explanation. Totally frustrated. If this order doesn't show up in the next few days I'm filing a fraudulent charge with my bank and never ordering from Gamestop again. I don't care if they are the only place on the planet to get game stuff - more and more their in store staff is ignorant, rude and confusing.

    In this day and age - it doesn't take a whole lot to give a customer access to tracking, shipping and order look up stuff for online purchases and Gamestop is in the dark ages with this. I think they pulled a bait and switch with shipping for my order. If "value" meant waiting for two weeks for an order to be either processed or shipped - that should of been stated. Instead in their language that was stated during my transaction it said value shipping was 4-7 days and I should get an email confirmation of order processing 3 days after placement - which I never got. Gamestop you have some shady business practices and you just lost a customer and I know you don't give one care.

    Where do I begin? I ordered a new PS4 Black 500GB, Overwatch, and Dragon Ball Xenoverse. I ordered 1 day shipping for an extra 20 dollars and it all went downhill from there. They tried to deliver it 11:05am while I was at work, they left no note about missing me so I had to track down my order by myself. Turns out they shipped my order to a UPS store, so I had to wait 2 more days to finally pick it up. If I hadn't done some extra prying they would have thrown away my order.

    They never responded to my email and after hours on hold some Indian women with an accent that I couldn't understand finally picks up and dodges all of my questions. They are supposed to be a professional company, yet they handle their customers like they are children. I spent $320 and this is the treatment I get? I wasted $20 on next day shipping I couldn't get my game for 3 days after?

    Wow! Where to begin? This is the first time I've ever made a mistake entering the wrong email address and the company's server didn't check for its validity. There was no way for me to correct the email blunder at Gamestop online site because, well, the edit email needed my valid email address just to send me the code to change it. Ahhh. So I called the Gamestop customer service, if that's what you want to call it, and received a snobby Indian rep. I imagine with all of peeved customers calling Gamestop, the Indian rep was probably having a bad day. To make a long story short, I just asked for a refund. It's common practice to send an email confirming the incident, but the Indian with an Attitude got upset when I asked to have an email confirmation sent. Needless to say, I lost my cool and, with every expletive I could muster, ended my call. I will never purchase another game, or anything else, from Gamestop again.

    So I ordered a refurbished Nintendo 3DS XL, a copy of Pokemon Moon and a Nintendo Charger from Gamestop. The first thing is they charged me ~10$ to deliver, it's my first time ordering online from them so that seems fine, but it shouldn't be this way since I paid over $200 for these products and they can't offer me a free shipping? I later ordered a refurbish New 3DS XL that comes with a charger and an 8GB SD card from eBay for the same price they offer for the 3DS without SD card and a separate charger (New 3DS XL is better than the 3DS XL) and also a copy of Pokemon Moon from Best Buy without getting charged any shipping fee. Then I went ahead and tried to cancel my order from them. Surprisingly they don't have a cancel function for guest order on their website. So I went and do some research to find out that you have to email or call them to cancel your guest order.

    I emailed them 3 times before I got an email back asking for more information which they already have, and no reply after I gave them the information. Then I called them, the first call made me wait for an hour before I had to hang up because I had things to do, the second call made me wait about 50 minutes before cutting itself off, and my third call made me wait an hour and 15 minutes before I got someone on the line to help me. The woman on the line was nice but speak really bad English for an American-based company which made it hard to work with, but overall after 3 hours in total waiting on the phone, and 2 days of figuring out how to cancel an order, I finally canceled my order. This makes me don't want to order anything from them ever again and maybe you should too.

I ordered a Playstation 4 VR kit which was the last remaining kit in the entire USA. In short, thanks to their poor service, they cancelled my order without my asking them to, and now my kids can't get this for X-mas because they are out of stock everywhere in the USA. That's the short story of the issue. Read further for all of the details and the horrors these people put me and every other person through. They need to be out of business.

    I chose PayPal billing to use my account and the site switched it twice back to PayPal credit. TWICE! After finally purchasing, it still went through as PayPal credit even though my preferred method of payment clearly said PayPal - Checking. I called 3 times to change the billing option. The online page would not give me an option to change billing regardless of what support said. The first call the person refused to listen to me and said he would just retry the purchase. I said "no, I need to change it, that's why I called." He literally ignored me and said, "I went ahead and resubmitted your order for processing, you can call back again during regular business hours if it fails again". I said "it will fail, why I'm calling." He said, "call back tomorrow then after it fails and someone can assist you." Really? Waited 2 hr 7 minutes for that.

    Sure enough, 5 more emails from PayPal claiming fraud. I called them to please allow the purchase and I would just open a Credit Card with them. Got that done. Called back again to Gamestop, 2 hrs!!! Pathetic! Got some lady that I couldn't understand. She said the order was processed successfully and I should receive a notification. I told her it didn't because I got the failed to process and I just wanted to change and pay with my bank credit card at this point as I have to get this since it is the last one in the country. She said, “I will resubmit to process.” I SAID, “NO! DO NOT REPROCESS WITH THE SAME PAYMENT!” She ignored me and did it anyways! I emailed support several times, no response at all!!! That's ridiculous.

    I went to a store. They said, “Sorry about your luck,” and they are surprised they are still in business because they suck and people come in all the time for help because gamestop.com is screws them over. That's Gamestop's own store recommending to never use their online GameStop.com site. Sure enough, wasn't processed.

    Called a 3rd time. Got again some Indian person that barely spoke English, didn't care that I had issues, just asked what I wanted to do. I said, "I HAVE TO HAVE THIS. THERE ARE NO MORE IN STOCK ANYWHERE and this is the last one that is in stock because it's sitting waiting to ship to me" She said, "I will cancel your order." WTF?!!?! Are you serious? Why would I do that if the one I have reserved for purchase is the last one I can order? That means there are no more so I get this one or I'm out. She said, "You can order again online after I cancel." No I can't. It won't let me because they show out of stock! She said, "I will reprocess your order." NO! Seriously??! I said it won't go through. I don't know why I just need to change payment so I can have this for Christmas. She said, "I reprocessed the order and you should receive a tracking number shortly."

    Woke up today... "YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN CANCELLED" I CAN'T GET THIS NOW AND HAVE IT BY CHRISTMAS! They are out of stock and the one I had purchased and reserved is who knows where now but thanks to GameStop, we have 10 VR games, a new PS4, VR accessories and NO Playstation 4 VR headset. I called and again, took 1 hr 21 minutes, yet again, and the person said, "Your order was cancelled due to issue with payment." I said, "No. The issue was you. It always was you. I tried 3 times on the phone and 3 times via email to change payment. Instead you cancelled my order because someone there probably wanted to but it themselves since it was out of stock."

    The person stated, "You can reorder it online and you will be fine." I said, "I can't, IT IS OUT OF STOCK! That was the last one!" Response, "Ohhh. That's too bad Sir. You can check back when they are available and try again then. Have a nice day." My response, "Go ** yourselves and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure NO ONE uses your company."

So on Saturday morning 12/17/2016, I call the 800 number. I was on hold for 1 hour and 30 minutes before a customer service rep (not sure you call this guy that) came on the line. First, I am cordial and tell him I want to know what is going on with my order. He then asks me for the order and the email address of the order. I am OK with that, but then he proceeds to confirm every piece of information from the phone number to the full billing address. I give him the information and he continues to ask for more information. I have to admit my patience was wearing pretty thin at this point and I kind of lost it.

    In a very firm voice, I said, "You have more than enough information and all I want to know is did the order really shipped." He goes silent for like 20 or 30 seconds. Finally talks again and starts asking for more of my personal details. I totally lose it and say "Let me talk to a manager." He goes silent again and after 10 seconds hangs up on me. I wait 1 hour and 30 minutes for Game Stop to hang up on me. I just want to say I normally do not take the time to write negative reviews, but in this case I feel everyone needs to know how bad Game Stop's customer service really is. My recommendation is to NEVER do business with Game Stop and if you are reading this after the purchase, return the product. They do not belong in business.

    I went into a Gamestop store to buy a PS3 and Madden 16. But after getting there they informed me that it was cheaper to order through their online site. So we placed an order for a used PS3 and new copy of Madden 16. When the order arrived the PS3 was filthy and the side was off and loose in the box, the game was a used Madden 16 case with a used copy of Madden 17. I called their "Customer Service" three separate times. First I was on hold for 45 mins without ever talking to anyone. Second was 1 hour 45 mins same result. Third I was on hold 2 hours and 30 mins and still no customer service. Days of trying and nothing but when I called a local store I was told "Nothing we can do" so I called the store I dealt with first and they offer me a replacement but it's used and I have to drive there. No offer to help make this right but they had 100 excuses for why this happened. Never again, Amazon from now on.

    At first I thought Gamestop was competent when I ordered a Mewtwo premium collection box and thought the online reviews were a bit too harsh when I saw the negative reviews but holy did I see the ugly face of Gamestop pop up on my second order online, putting me at over 1 hour on the line phone calls everyday, wasting my energy and time just waiting for someone to answer my call, and for them to tell me everyday to wait and give them a little bit more time everyday for 7 days now.

    I am now going to call them and wait for 1-2 hours one more time to tell them if they have my package to send it, or I'm going to refund, I've never seen such business practice like this online. Online emails were barely any help and assumed that them telling me to wait and that the shipment is being shipped soon is something considered as a problem resolved. Very, VERY unprofessional company. Will be sticking to other online stores like Amazon or Walmart where I will have no problems ordering and getting shipping confirmation in just 1-2 business days.

    I ordered some of the Black Friday 2016 items that were for sale at GameStop and I selected to pay with my PayPal credit card. It is now 12/3/2016 and Gamestop has not picked up the order or confirmed the order. It is still showing as pending in Paypal. I called Paypal to see if there was a problem. There was no problem from their side. Gamestop is just not picking up these orders and processing them. Have been attempting to call Gamestop for 3 days and have held on the phone 2 hours per day in an attempt to talk to someone. There is never an answer. I emailed them and got a generic reply that I could go to my Gamestop account to check the status of my order.

    This was a particularly stupid response as the order has never been picked up or processed; thus, there is no order to look at on my account. One can call a local store and sure they can sell it to you at a much higher price than the listed sale on Black Friday. No help there. I am so disappointed in this company and I can see by the other reviews that I am not alone. Too bad. If I could have given a zero for a satisfaction level, I would have. Unfortunately one star is the least I can select. I believe this was intentional on Gamestop's part. I don't think they ever intended to honor the Black Friday pricing.

    I had a terrible online experience with Gamestop. I've never wrote an online review or complaint before, but since their "customer service" never got back to me, I have to voice my experience somewhere. I ordered an XBOX ONE online along with another game. Within minutes of placing the order, (8:30 am) I received an email showing the ship to address as my old address. I called to rectify this mistake and have the ship changed to my current address. I kept hearing "hold times longer than 30 minutes" and so I thought well, I'll just email them. I went back to the website, and it stated that my order was still open and that I was able to change the ship to info myself, but there was nowhere to change it! The website did not have that functionality. I tried calling and was on hold for over an hour and at the end of the day, 9:30 PM at this point, I got a message saying that my order had shipped to wrong address!

    I woke up and STILL nobody had got back to me on my order. Later that night, I was able to track down my order only to find that they didn't even ship me the game I ordered, just the console. Of course when I called at 8 am this morning when they "opened", it said "wait times are longer than 30 minutes right now" and I just hung up after 30 minutes. I am done with this company. I am out 50 bucks but it's not worth fighting for it at this point. Maybe that's one way they make profits at this company.

We asked to speak to a supervisor, was told one call back. Didn't happen. Then we get an email that they shipped the 2 yr warranty plan, but no game system.

    Called again today (11/28) waited over an hour (again). Finally spoke to someone who explained what was going on. GameStop sold to more people than they had systems. He didn't know if we would get a system by Christmas or not. But he couldn't explain why we were sent a 2 yr warranty plan for a non-existent system. He put me on hold so I could speak to a supervisor and the call was ended before I could speak with a supervisor. So I called back, waited another hour - asked immediately for a supervisor and the call was ended again without speaking to a supervisor.

I called a week later not hearing from them and didn't get a definite answer. So I resigned myself to having the "normal" copy instead. Went into to pick up my order on the day of release and as a show of gratitude and perhaps due to their inability to get me the ultimate edition, they at least provide me with the free gift model car.

Once I got someone on the line, not only did they have to slow down and repeat themselves because English is very much not their first language (US-based company, right...), but also they took around 10mins to finish pulling up my order information and asked me about 6 different times if I was certain I wanted to cancel my order. Advice, never pre-order anything from Gamestop, buy it direct from the manufacturer or supporting platform for the console or system you intend to use.

No codes, seriously. How crappy is the digital shopping arrangement when you can generate a unique code to sell so a customer can download software from a server?

    So 3 hours and 20 mins later I have no product. If the response time was better I may have still spent money with the company but no, they take near half a regular work day to blow a $120 sale leaving no time for a would be customer to choose brick and mortar over webstore.

    As a kid, I enjoyed shopping at GameStop. So as an adult, I obviously take my children there. But I think I have hit my wit's end with this store. A couple years ago, around Christmas time, my oldest daughter wanted an Xbox 360 so I purchased one from the store nearest to us. We set it up only to find that it wouldn't turn on. I contacted Xbox support for them to tell me that the Xbox I bought was faulty. I refunded it some days later. At this point, this was my first real negative experience with this store.

    Fast forward to September 2, 2016, my youngest was online and saw a very affordable deal for an Xbox 360 bundle so I purchased it and it shipped in a timely manner but when we got it and set it up, it too did not work. I contacted GameStop immediately, wanting a refund but the representative told me to contact Xbox support to be sure that it was broken so I did. After about an hour of going through things to see if the Xbox was working or not, the Xbox support representative told me that it was indeed faulty. I then called GameStop back to ask for a refund again and might I say, the lady I talked to was extremely rude and unsympathetic. My situation is still not solved. Moral of the story: Do not buy an older Xbox 360 (it did not say how old the Xbox was on their site) from GameStop. I'll even go as far as to say it makes no sense as to why they sell things that do not work.

    Several years ago I ordered several games to be accessed by the Gamestop application. The promise was that I would own these forever. Recently, I got a new computer. I loaded the application that is still available on their website and it did not work - the games did not show and it asked for a one-time password that did not generate to my mail. I called the support lines given and got India or somewhere. The first lady hung up on me without giving me any information or help. The second lady told me she escalated it - but I never heard from anyone. The third man decided to generate a non-existent password and tell me it would work in six hours. That never happened either. The fourth man was a little better as he at least told me the application is no longer supported. He also escalated it and again I heard nothing. At this point I did some research and called the Corporate Office in Texas.

    After listening to the prompts I again got India - so I called back and punched a different option. The lady who answered talked to an escalation person who emailed me with special codes for two of my games on Steam - those worked yay - and for four of my games on Uplay those codes did not work - she sent me four new ones and they did not work either. I contacted Uplay support and they said nothing they could do to help me. The Gamestop person told me she would help me get a refund but when I emailed her again she did not respond back. So in the end I have lost three out of four Ubisoft games - one of which I repurchased on Steam for 25.00.

    I am reviewing with regards to Gamestop's online customer service. It started in the store but moved to online when I contacted them. I started contacting the online customer service in early March and there is still no resolution or even anyone who seems to understand what the problem was in the first place. All of this started with Gamestop's Skylanders Day promotion. It is a really good deal. Buy one get one free deal and was very fun. On their flyer they put out they tell you to ask to join the Skylanders Adventure Club in the store. If you do, then you get a free Skylanders for every 6 you purchase. I went to 3 different Skylanders Days (December, January and March) and was not able to join the club.

    At the March one I asked the guy at the store if I could join the club. (This was the same guy who had told me on the phone in January that the specific characters I asked about would be there on that Saturday and they were not. When I asked him about it he just said they didn't have those ones.) He went to the back to get a card and came out and said he did not have any but told me I could return to the store on Tuesday (he may have some then) and he would do a return and give me credit for the latest ones. The store is 25 miles from my house. Also, if he did a return on that day it would not reflect the sale price most likely and would have been a huge mess (been there done that elsewhere). I then asked him for the free poster that the flyer promised as well. He checked the drawer and did not see any. He said he would get me one in the back. He came out with it rolled up and a rubber band on it. I thanked him and left.

    When I got home, it was a Naruto poster instead of Skylanders. So, that's when I decided to contact the online customer service. We spent over $200 on those Skylanders Days and much more than that over the years at Gamestop. I contacted Gamestop thinking it would not be that much of a hassle. I have had to contact Amazon, Walmart and other companies before and have never had as much trouble as I have had with Gamestop. I spent months with Blue Cross Blue Shield trying to get my insurance fixed and also a long time with Tracfone trying to get a refund but in the end I got it fixed. Gamestop not so much. They are horrendous!!! First time I wrote to them, I explained that all I wanted was to join the Skylanders Adventure Club and get credit for the Skylanders we bought, that we should probably have 2 or 3 free ones by now. Time after time, I got copy and paste responses from them.

    Most of the time, the responses had nothing to do with my problem. Copy and paste responses are insulting. They are just a way for them to get rid of you and not even listen to you. With some, it was obvious they had not read any of it. I finally, got someone many days later that asked me for all my receipt information. I spent 30 min or so typing all that information for him plus some other info he asked for specifically. I even scanned the receipts in. He then wrote back and said it was escalated to another team and he could not promise me anything. After a few more days of not hearing anything, I wrote him back and he just told me to remember he escalated it and could not do anything about it. Then after a few more days I got a response on the other ticket I had opened. There was nothing there. Just the Gamestop ad and a thank you from an employee.

    I wrote back that I could not see any message. A response came back and it was another no response email! I perceived that she was trying to get rid of me and make it look like she had answered me. I called her out on that. She responded with a copy and paste email that she would be frustrated too and to go to the store. I had had that told to me a few times already and had already explained why I was not going back to the store (would you want to go back to that store?). She told me to call the number. I had told them why I would not call as well because it would use my time and my minutes on my phone and cost me. It got so stupid with all the copy and paste emails. They were not reading my emails at all even though I asked them to. I asked them for a manager 6 times at least and they would not have a manager talk to me. They kept copying and pasting responses that did not address my problem. I kept at it.

    I even got a response one day from a girl that said all my points were there for those purchases (I am a PowerUp Pro Rewards member and get points) but she would give me 2,000 points as a courtesy for the confusion. She even bolded that line as if I am some dolt or something who was confused all this time. I bolded back to her that I knew the points were there and that this had nothing to do with points. I asked for a manager again and copy and pasted (told them I would since they love to do it so much) for the third time all my information and what the problem was in the first place. Now, the problem was their horrible customer service and attitude. Another person answered me and said they could see many people had handled my email. She said they had limited knowledge of the Skylanders Adventure Club and to call customer service. UGH!

    I copied and pasted it again and asked for a manager again. Another guy wrote me back and said he forwarded all of it to an upper level of management at the store. At the store?! Give me a break. It has been many days now and I still have not heard anything. I have wasted too much time on all this with Gamestop. I have had bad customer service before but Gamestop is probably the worst ever. I told them I would go to this website and complain and even write the HQ out in Texas. It didn't seem to faze them. Asking for a manager did not help at all. I wrote a letter but I have not sent it yet. I am thinking about it but this is just ridiculous. I don't think I will be buying much at Gamestop from now on.

    I have three active email support calls and one phone in support call that have been escalated and are awaiting response by the 'appropriate' group that these complaints were escalated to. I purchased approximately a dozen of online only games via the GameStop PC app (formerly Impluse/ImpuseDriven from StarDock). These games allow you to install them on your machine or download them and install them later. After a crash, I reinstalled just one of those games and was recently going to install others, but could not get the GameStop PC App to show those games. Therefore nearly a dozen of the games purchased are now apparently lost.

    This occurred previously when GameStop changed its password methodology and broke the connection to its online games server. It took nearly 3 months for it to recognize my new password and show those games. No explanations or apologies to the thousands of users was ever given. When I loaded the GameStop PC App a month ago, I noticed only the single installed game (TA) was showing. The others, non-installed games, usually show up grayed out indicated I can download and install them. No luck, not showing. There is a diagnostic tool that writes out to a log file what the app is doing during log on or errors. That log was reporting 404 Not Found. The App tries to log in three times then bypasses and goes to the main screen to allow installed games to be played. But, since it can't make contact to the game server, it doesn't allow access to your purchased games.

    I have a complete screen shot off all my purchased games and their serial numbers. I sent these in with one of the interchanges to the cs rep so they know that my claim is valid. Two email and the phone support call have 'escalated' to the 'proper department'. It is approaching a month with NO access to my games and three weeks with NO solution or explanation to the cause. Not even an estimate as to when a solution will occur.

    Also, GameStop apparently doesn't keep its order history from when it dropped active support of the GameStop PC App / ImpluseDriven program for online games and switched over to just Key codes for Steam. Therefore my account shows no order history. _OR_ they have a drop dead date for how far back they show orders. I asked the Rep several times this question and never got a response. I have attached images of the GameStop PC App showing what it shows now (just the TA game installed) and another one showing a slate of the games that I should have access to. More detailed files are available upon request.

    The GameStop PC App never allowed you and option to download and _not_ install the game. Aka archive for later. When you downloaded it you _had_ to install it. What good now are all those games to the thousands of people who bought them if their PC crashes? Which Windows is so prone too. Which is what occurred to me 6 months ago. GameStop also never indicated that there was a deadline or time that it would not allow downloads in the future. E.G., a cut off final date for the PC App games to be downloaded for a final time. I believe this is because if they had said that they would have had to create a mechanism to allow those thousands of customers to download their games and that feature wasn't in the PC App's mechanism.

    GameStop needs to come clean and say that it will screw thousands by not allowing them access to their games or fix their server. At least have the common courtesy of admitting the issue and giving us some sort of timeline for its solution. Finally, all I can add is purchase online games from GameStop with the assumption that they will drop support or accessibility to that game after a time.

    I ordered my husband's Birthday present 2nd day air. They didn't even ship out his present until the next day. So he didn't get a birthday present on his birthday. I called the corporate office which was in the Philippines. They sent me to Puerto Rico, then they sent me back to Philippines. It's a big joke to be honest. I think it's going to be next to impossible to get a refund on my expedite shipping. I will not ever shop with Gamestop again.

    I placed an order for my son's birthday - 2 weeks prior to his birthday. They sent a confirmation of the order the following morning. They then sent an email that the card was declined and asked that I contact the bank to clear and respond to the email with the word "RESOLVED" in the email title. I did this immediately. A week later, and 4 days prior to his birthday I received an email stating they had cancelled the order.

    The customer service rep I spoke with stated that the person responsible for reviewing my "RESOLVED" email didn't review it, that I should have called after speaking with my bank (although their email instructed me to contact them via email) and that she had no way of resolving the issue, other than me replacing the order and paying for overnight shipping myself. I had to wait 15+ min on hold and then this took her another 20+ min for her to "help" me by informing me she could do nothing. She then asked why I hadn't just looked for the items I wanted at a store (you know, after I was under the impression I had an online order completed). She offered to give me some Gamestop points but was unable to locate my account with any of the information I provided (name, my last 3 phone numbers and my email address, the latter of which I've had for 7+ years).

    I then waited another 10-15 min and spoke with supervisor, Mike. He placed the order and agreed to free expedited shipping. This was the resolution that the cust. service person should've offered without me having to get frustrated and angry and demand to speak to a supervisor. Unfortunately, one of the items had increased by $20 and I had to point this out, to which he made a "one-time exception" to honor the price of the original order. The whole phone call took over an hour and 14 minutes. Very disappointing overall service so far. I gave it a 2 only because the supervisor seemed semi-reasonable. We'll see if it all arrives in time and functioning.

    Update an hour later - my credit card bank account again declined Gamestop. I called Gamestop to use a different card, which took over 45 minutes and had to repeat the new credit card information about half a dozen times, which was very suspicious. The first card now has a $45 fraudulent online charge on it for the first time in the account's 7-year history (for movie tickets). Coincidence?

    Shopping at GameStop is already a drag. They are the only option for new/used games locally and the trade in vs shelf prices are robbery. But I would rather shop there than Walmart or wait days shopping online. But they clearly have a new policy where the employee must approach all customers who walk in. It's annoying! I just want to browse. If I have a question I will ask.

    I play a lot of games, so I am there about once a week. And rain or shine an employee always ambushes me the second I walk in, asking if I need help finding anything... again. I hate this form of sales. It's too aggressive. Let customers have some freedom. At this point I dread going in there because I know I have about 30 seconds of peace, tops. Just let your underpaid employees stand at the register where they belong and if I have a question I will walk over and ask. Or I will ask when I am checking out. Whatever marketing idiot came up with that tactic should be fired.

    I just can't believe the way I've been treated by this manager. Apparently returning a faulty product while the store is busy, means it's alright to be disrespected and treated like a complete piece of garbage. This was done by the manager, Chad something, at the store in prince frederick, MD. From now on I'm sticking to amazon.

    Call in on the phone prior going to make my purchase to make sure item in stock. ** store assistant manager told me that he has one in stock and he will hold for me. I quickly left my house with my disabled son to go buy his gift. When I got to the store Lakeside Town Shops 5810 S. University Dr Bay 118-119 Davie, FL 33328 ** the assistant store manager told me he could not sell me the item because it was pre-ordered for someone else. At that point I asked him what we can do. He very rudely told me "tough luck" and there is nothing he can do about it. Me and my son left the store empty handed and with a lot of sadness on my son's eyes. This is not the first time that this store has done that to me and I'm sure to a lot of other people. I will never set a foot into this store ever again, I had enough of their BS.

    I purchased this game (Rise of the Tomb Raider) approximately 3 weeks ago. At the time Gamestop had the price listed at $17.99 (**). Initially I was charged this price. However Gamestop charged me an ADDITIONAL $59.99 a few hours later. I called customer support and (after waiting 3 hours to talk to someone) was repeatedly told that the game was never $17.99. I proceeded to send Gamestop a screenshot of the game at that price, as well as my bank statement, clearly showing both charges.

    Finally, after quite a bit of debating the point with them, I told them that I did not want the game at all. I was informed that, despite the fact that I did not activate the game code, that issuing a refund was against policy. The supervisor that I spoke with finally agreed to grant an exception to policy, and issue a refund. I was then informed that it would be processed in 3-5 days. Now, 3 weeks later, I still have not been refunded and Gamestop is not responding to ANY of my emails.

    GameStop is terrible. I pre-ordered The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD with one-day shipping. The game came out yesterday, which, as far as I can tell, was when I was supposed to get my game. A few days ago (February 27th), I received an email from GameStop saying the bank blocked the purchase of the game as a suspicious purchase. I missed it until I noticed my credit card was blocked on March 1st. When I investigated, I found GameStop's email and followed the steps in the email. It said to contact my credit card company, so I did. It said to reply to the email and add RESOLVED to the subject line, so I did.

    Yesterday (March 4th), I kept waiting for my order to ship, but the status remained "pending," which, according to GameStop, means the order will normally ship in one business day. Today, I woke up to an email saying my order had been cancelled! I spent nearly an hour on hold for customer service trying to rescue my order, along with the pre-order bonus of the game's soundtrack (a GameStop exclusive, and the only reason I ordered from them). I gave up. Instead, I placed my order with the (in my experience) 5-star service that is Amazon, and my order will be here on Wednesday. Now, I've ordered from the place I would've pre-ordered from had they had the bonus. I'm never ordering from GameStop again. Ever.

    Bought a PS3 with a bundle package and it had a different model that I didn't like. Wanted to return and was told that I could not after one of the worker had specifically told me I had 30 days to return it. Gamestop is full of **. If you buy something at this location I recommend recording the conversation with the employee for they seem to lie to their customer just to sell an item. Not even a star. Filled with liars. I recommend you buy a PlayStation 4 at Best Buy. They will take you returns back and will refund you the full amount.

    Recently I have been going to Gamestop and trading my old systems for credit. When I traded in my old games they offered me $22 so I didn't think anything of it so I blew it off, but when I went to turn in my old PS3 I thought hey I may get about $50, but no I waited for 30 minutes so they could test out my PS3 to check if it's working and I got barely $20. They took off $10 for refurbishment so I was thinking to myself about how much they might sell it for. I was thinking about $60 because of the cheap price they sold it to me. Gamestop is selling used 40 gb ps3 for $110. I mean seriously they gave me $20 to turn it into $100 like what the heck.

    I came into your store located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mason street location on 1/30/16 at around 7:30 to purchase a PS4 bundle and felt very uneasy walking in. The young man behind the counter looked threatened by my presence and was not very helpful. There was a young lady that was receiving a lot of attention. I'm a African-American male and a large one. I don't play the race card, but in this case I think it applies, because of the tone of the worker and insinuations. I also called the store, ask to speak to a manager and he was unapologetic and did not ask me about the situation details. Also he did not ask me for my name or number.

    I will be calling the General manager to follow up on this behavior. I work in a professional setting and was dressed in the same clothes I would be in on a Friday at my job. I ended going to Best Buy to make my purchase minutes later. I'm sorry that employees of your company acted this way. I hope you approach them about this serious situation.
