My games are still not even in the FedEx system yet and it’s been a week. Fucking GS.

For some strange reason, Gamestop switched my shipping to USPS without notification. One game just showed up yesterday without any tracking or indication that it shipped. Just make sure you have a security camera or someone at home to get your packages (damn porch pirates are on the hunt).

They might be using FedEx smart post or whatever it’s called. It’s The cheapest option. I have so many cameras on my house. Porch pirates are so bad here. They’re such scum

Dumb question that I cant seem to find a good answer to. Whats the best way to not Fuck up their preorder numbers if i dont want a game any more? I pre-ordered and paid off a switch copy of immortals a few months ago. Then switched it to ps5 because I was worried it would run poorly on switch. On Monday I bought the game at Walmart because it was only $50 and they broke the street date. But now i obviously don't need a second copy. Ive already pre-ordered and paid off cyberpunk and mario 3d world. The only thing I have left that im considering a preorder on is ys 9 but thats so far out. I dont want to mess up their metrics because they are actually very nice and helpful at my store. Should i pick up the game and then return it?

Ordered some stuff on the 22nd, estimated delivery date was the 29th, and it has been suck on "Awaiting Carrier Pickup" with Fedex the whole time.

My order was the same but updated randomly yesterday morning to be out for delivery - so there was no scan until the morning of delivery in my case. Be sure to check the FedEx website for tracking and not the Gamestop page. The gamestop page still says "Awaiting carrier pickup" for me and I have the games in hand.

I ordered a Dualsense on Nov 14th. They created a shipping label the same day. After 5 days of no movement I called. I called right when They opened and got right through. Guy put me on hold for about 10 minutes but when he came back said there was an issue at the warehouse and it didn't actually ship and they would over night me one. Got it the next day and tracking on original never moved. So if you guys are not seeing any movement after that many days it might be worth calling.

Having been a store manager at gamestop I'd recommend at least rolling 5 bucks over y's so it cancels out the cancelled preorder. Then you can get whatever you have on it back.

You'll want to check every option as sometimes the website will list the tracking accurately while fedex/ups won't and occasionally tracking numbers on one or the other will be innaccurate to the number in your order email or on the website under your orders page.  The only thing they are consistent with is being inconsistent.

Is Immortals G2L? I remember seeing signage that Cyberpunk is

There's some bounce back in trade values for the games that went on sale BF weekend /Cyber Monday. Nothing major, but if you bought and hoped for values to readjust, you did well. Fingers crossed that we'll eventually get a stealth bump on most wanted trades. 

 

Switch games have mostly settled into $22/25/27 TIV. Has anyone traded and gotten guaranteed $30 base for games in the weekly ad? Paper Mario, NSMBU, and Super Mario Party don't show up as $30 in the system. Donkey Kong and Super Mario 3d All Stars have held their $30 value for several weeks now.

I looked back at the one image posted a few weeks ago and don't see Immortals included with the other G2L games (Cyberpunk, Black Ops: Cold War, etc.).

Did same day delivery for the first time and got a call from Doordash saying (in a somewhat confusing manner) what I think amounts to me not receiving an order. The DD rep I spoke to said they would issue a refund (I paid by debit), and my money would be returned immediately. So far the money isn't back in my account. Is this normal? Shouldn't GS be issuing me my refund? Who do I need to call if the $$ doesn't show up???

Gamestop.com does it again.  For my order of new games, got an open "new" copy of Disgaea 1 Complete with sticker residue all over the side and top. 

 

Ultimately don't care as (1) I planned to play it away and (2) no way am I bothering to go to a store over this. 

 

That all said, it still boggles my mind that they continue to sell open games like this as new.  I've heard their explanation, but it's a bad business practice that they could avoid simply by using placeholder cases rather than gutting new copies, or selling the last "new" one outside always as "used."  How hard is that?

 

As for the game, it's fun.  Been meaning to pick this up.  It's nice to see this game get a clean makeover, and the first one has always been the favorite.

Alright cool, i'll get the PS4 version. Although it's goofy, the weekly ad says you just need to purchase the game to get the $10 while the game page says it needs to be pre-purchased.

My main GameStop is closing. The one in Wheeling, IL if anyone is in the area. I was also told they are closing around 150-170 stores across the US. The others in Illinois are Rolling Meadows and Antioch I believe he said.

Last open date is 1/7. They had not started putting games up but starting today, most items will be 10% off

Same here, just received Harvest Moon, the game was opened, but the case seemed to be in a great condition. How much did you pay for Disgaea 1?

Picked it up at $21.97, which is a solid price, IMHO. 

 

Still that price on their website as part of their Cyber Monday week, if you're willing to accept it may be an open new copy.

Thanks, just checked the NIS store, and they have it on sale for $19.99, which is quite good. Thinking if I should go with the PS4 or Switch version at that price.

GameStop keeps adding days to my expected delivery time. I started with a week long wait, went past two weeks, and now I’m looking at 3.5 weeks.

Fun times.

Just bought PS4 Immortals. G2L code is EBC 3065444, expires 12/5/2020

 

 

Also, there was a sign that mentioned a Spend $300, get $30 coupon for December. The employee said they were probably doing it for Christmas/winter sale but he wasn't sure

Dumb question but what exactly is the in-store pick up window?
I know it's a week but what do they consider a week?
My items were ready for pick-up on Friday so do I have until tomorrow or do I have to pick them up by today?
I called to ask but they had no way of telling me apparently.

Edit: Damn, that sucks. I just renewed last month.

It is one week or 7 days from the day the order was confirmed in store. If you don’t pick up your items you will receive a refund.

I get all that but I was wondering if that first day it was available counted towards the 7. I called customer service and they said they are 110% sure I can go in tomorrow, so hopefully that's the case.

What's with the stores that try to make up weird return policies? The employee at the store argued that the 7 day return policy is to the minute and I was 7 days but 20 minutes late from the original return time. He said he would return the game "this time" but won't make exceptions in the future. I also just realized that they have a holiday return policy so he was extra full of shit.
