CrapStop
September 27, 2023

Bought a funko pop from them online that was on clearance. The item arrived severely damaged because they didn't pack it properly. I reached out to customer service and was informed that because it was a clearance item, their policy is to reject any and all refunds, returns or exchanges for the item. Even though the item could have been damaged before mailing it out, or in transit, they refuse to rectify the issue. Don't but anything from this greedy crap $#*! company. Let them die already.

Good website
July 24, 2011

Good website. Ordered ~30 games on it. Never had any problems and have used it for about 3 years now. Make sure to put in your savings card number if you have one. Also they put out discount codes about every 2 weeks. I also really like the hold at store option. It allows you to hold a certain game at the store or it's nice just to see if the store close to you has it in stock so you can just go down the street and get it without having to look around to see if they have it in. Their used games are higher than the average store but the buy 2 get 1 free promotion every once in awhile is very nice.

I was charged handling for an order(for fragile items, but have order game consoles and games and never been charged), even though the website clearly states free shipping over $79, and this was even selected when the order was placed. I asked for a copy of this policy and no agent or supervisor could provide that to me. I placed a second order with the exact same items and was not charged this fee. I cancelled both orders and made the purchase somewhere else. Terrible customer service. I hope to see the day that they go bankrupt for being such a corrupt company. I will celebrate when each store closes their doors for the last time, because if they continue with these shady practices that will happen.

Long-term loyalty holds no value here!
March 6, 2024

On November 23rd, 2023 I went to my local Gamestop to buy my son a PS5 for Christmas. With my PowerUp Rewards and black Friday deals, I was looking to spend about $800 to a $1000 for both our gaming needs. But when I arrived at 9:20 pm, the store was closed eventhough the sign posted read open til 10pm. Two clerks were inside laughing and counting money; one acted like she was going to let me in, but instead took the store hours down ( but not before I took a picture). I called customer service TWICE - nothing they could do. I submitted a complaint to BBB and the Gamestop rep apologized but last I checked, both cashiers were still employed there. Never even offered me a measly $50 store credit! I've been a PowerUp member since 2010! 14 years means nothing? I'll take my money to Walmart!

Digital Downloads take FOREVER. Read all the reviews about PSN cards and Xbox cards. Gamestop doesn't send you the redemption code in a timely manner and they fail to warn the consumer of any wait time. Some people have waited days, and still nothing. I will never support a company like this, my business is gone forever.

GameStop is only good to buy consoles and they can't even do that correctly only reason I don't give them a zero is because of the in-store personal. From now on all my consoles will be brought from Amazon or Walmart I would rather pay more and make sure I get my product.how your system not prepared for the holiday rush that's just stupid and your IT manager and the it company in charge of your servers need to be fired and replaced immediately!

We Ordered a Play Station 4 For My Grandson.When it was not delivered we called customer service, After waiting for over an hour to speak to a rep we were told it was lost in the mail. However they didn't have the courtesy to call us.They offered a replacement but not in time for Christmas. And 7 to 10 days for a refund to Am Exp.card. I dont believe it was lost, I will never do business with them again.My Poor Grandson!

Fraud
September 5, 2022

Someone has gotten my Visa/Debit Card info and charged close to $3,000 worth of merchandise. This has happened FOUR times in the last 2.5 months. Each time I have to go to my credit union, explain its not me and get a new card. Buy doing this, I have to change info for payments that come directly from my card. This last time I had to fill out pages of paperwork. All the while someone out there is getting free merchandise. Do you people not have a better way of catching these people? It's getting really old

Good
October 15, 2015

The website has gotten a little overcrowded with ads lately, but whenever I have an issue that I have to contact support or go into a store, the people there are always friendly, and mostly always extremely knowledgeable. I will continue shopping here in the future~

Returns
November 20, 2023

GameStop is unlike any other store when it comes to returns. The store does not allow opened items to be returned for any reason other than that it is defective. I had bought a VR and got super motion sick from it. I tried to return it the next day and they did not accept it. Therefore leaving me with a game system I could not play. They never warned us that they do not do returns on new opened devices. It does say it at the very bottom of the receipt in little letters.

Thanks gamestop for making my life easier! I have three boys and they are all into video games ( what kid isn't). Your shipping is so fast! I like the idea that if my kids want the game now I can order it online and pick the game up right at gamestop that day! Thanks!

Purchase
August 25, 2023

I went in to purchase 2 games they were used one kept glitching out. I called in to process the return they informed that I needed the email of the account I told them I did not have one. Then they asked me when I made the purchase where I made it at what I purchased. Once I gave them all that information they still refused to help stating there was nothing they can do. This company is very incompetent and unprofessional. I would suggest going to Walmart they have a better selection and there returns are easy and simple.

RIP OFF
August 19, 2016

They sale nothing but over prices things. Why shop here or sell anything here when I can just go to Walmart or Toys R Us and get a better deal or even sale an item on Ebay. This place is nothing but a rip off.

Complete mess
October 28, 2021

I ordered an Xbox series S online
Was lied to about the delivery not once but 6x. Took time from work to be home for multiple deliveries that were never even there. Their customer service team is not only untrustworthy. They're liars. Unethical and absolute garbage. This will be my last purchase from this company.

Also I have some pictures and emails with names but would prefer to hold onto them for legal purposes going forward.
