[quote name='Desousa93']So how does this ship to store thing work do we need to get in with someone at gamestop.[/QUOTE]
No it's store to store lol. Heres exactly what I do.
First I got my gs's store number here
http://www.mystore411.com/store/listing/47/Game-Stop-store-locations
(4 digit number) next to name (#xxxx)
Then find the item (or item's) in stock online, type in random city's etc like
miami, fla
Los angelos, ca
ETC. the big ones, dont close the search btw, look in the url.
See that number SKU=xxxxxx? Good.
When you found a store say "I'm asking about the availability of a (playstation 2, gamecube, etc.) game.
They ask the name of it.
Say the sku number (remember that part?) is xxxxxx.
At that point they think ur an employee by themselves lol, they check for the game for real now, and tend to give effort now (got one guy to check every sleeved game on the floor lol) Feel free to make em check for origional case.
If they find it GREAT!!! Ask if they can do a RSB or transfer (RSB is the formal name) to store number (#xxxx)
Then once they say sure, ask them to make a notation, hold for customer (YOUR NAME HERE he he) THEN BAM DONE (doesn't hurt to follow up in a day or two as well)
If they go OHHH your an employee, play along
(some stores very rarely dont like shipping a single $15-20 game) so it's best to have a few and try the stores with multiple games you want in stock.
But yup thats the whole conversation with smalltalk sometimes thrown in.
