One thing I wish gamestop would change is to let me cancel a pre order online on my account. I don't like to have to chat with someone just to cancel a pre order.
Hi all, recently ex-gamestop employee here, with a bit of a warning about how GameStop is intentionally planning to fuck around with people in your lovely city.
Currently, 3 GameStop locations in Winnipeg are slated to close by end of Q4 (which would be end of January 2025 or earlier) due to low sales and high theft. I don't know where these are but location codes are 1715, 1799 and 1813 (and possibly 869 based on performance)
This information "leaked" internally recently, and full time staff (store managers and assistant managers) of these locations are understandably leaving. However, HQ is actively hiring "Full Time Permanent" management staff for these locations with the explicit intention of using them for the holiday rush letting them go when the stores close, which will be within the 4-month probationary period. It boggles my mind that this kind of behaviour is considered acceptable in a large organization.
Fuck gamestop. Have a lovely day.
When the PS5 pro is released this year, when do you think GameStop will have their Trade in action?
I ordered a deluxe edition for Final Fantasy Rebirth only to see it got shipped a day before release and with an estimated shipping time of a week from Purolator. Why are new releases shipped shipped so late? I'm in BC and it's being sent from Ontario. I understand there's logistics that go into this in the backend but I ordered this all the way in December. Why couldn't it have shipped last week if their warehouse is in Ontario? I'm extremely disappointed, needless to say I don't ever see myself ordering like this in the future, this would only be worthwhile if you live in Ontario. The solution I received via email was pretty dismissive too. I probably won't even get a deluxe edition now if I go in person. I'll probably have to pick it up elsewhere.
I want to buy a series X but I also dont wanna spend like a grand on a new console and a few games lol. Hoping there will be a sale in the next couple months and I was hoping someone who worked at a GS could give me any tips if anything is coming up.
Anyone what the trade in value for series x in Canada is?
Just curious about this. I've stopped purchasing "new" games from because of how often it's a re-shrinkwrapped game that someone had already opened. I often purchase for the sake of collecting, and it's always deflating to get a resealed (or just as likely, not at all sealed!) game when I order New. Has anyone seen the same thing from ? Or is it typical that when you purchase online from GameStop Canada you receive a truly new item? Thank you.
Hi! I have been trying to get the pre order for this funko pop but have not been able to find anywhere to pre order it, will it come to Gamestop canada?
Just wondering if anyone’s pre-order for the new Spider-Man game been shipped yet?
Location: nova scotia
I made a purchase through the website for a refurbished Xbox x over the weekend.
The website showed there was stock on the item at the store i chose.
The mo ey was take from my account.
I waited the day and didn't hear anything so decided to call the store... they hadnt even recieved the online order! Furthermkre, they dont even have stock on the item!!
Manager there told me that another location nearby had one sp i called and again, not in stock!
Because the original store didnt receive the order- they cant issue a refund? And they have no way of manually serching the system for my order using the order number from the confirmation email i got...? The manager told me to call customer care and said they were currently open however when i went to do that- they're only open mo -fri... today is sunday... and mo day is a holiday.
To say im frustrated is an understatement. The money i saved for this purchase is now stuck in limbo and it looks like it will be days before i get it back.. so even if i find the console elsewhere i cant actually make the purchase.
Has anyone else experienced this level of inventory inaccuracies and lack of resolution options with gamestop? I mean... for one store's inventory to be off- ok i get it but the next store that was mentioned was wrong too... and i feel like there should be a way for managers to search for orders instead of just relying on them to process automatically.
The kicker is that i made the purchase through a Koho card which is essentially a prepaid credit card so doing a chargeback and cutting out gamestop all together isnt an option u til the authorization expires in 10 days... ugh!!!
I just want to play diablo IV and flight simulator... is that too much to ask?? Hahahaha
My credit card expired and I cant find an option to update my info to the new card. On top of that I just got an email that part of my order shipped on an order I created using the old card as the payment method. Ive contacted CS but I'm hoping someone here can answer me before they do? Please help!
Just wondering if anyone knows if local stores will have this on release day?
I'm from the US and will be living in Canada for a while starting in about a month. I have some controllers and games with warranties that I bought here in the US. Does anyone know if the warranties be valid in CA if the things break at all?
i'm wondering anyone been trade in your XBOX Series S to X? what do they need for trade in? and what's the value for that? i'm looking for trade but couldn't find any useful info
Has any gamestop in Canada tried unionizing ? I've heard of Starbucks doing it, but not in retail like gamestop. I feel like it would give us more leverage when it comes to wages, pto, and employees rights. I feel like there are alot of complaints within the company when it comes to the workers inside the stores, and no one to actually advocate for us.
I pre ordered tears of the kingdom and I didn't get the game stop exclusive pins am I the olny one that didn't get it. will they eventually give me the pins?
Hey guys I had a friend attempt to buy me a dlc code:
not knowing it was an online purchase only. so he ended getting me a different dlc pack for skins:
I was told they couldn't do a return or exchange and was advised to call customer service. I will do that tomorrow morning, but wanted to ask people on subreddit if I'm SOL?
So I've always had a platinum card because it gets me a discount off of used games and merch. Even just the used game discount was worth it and that's all I've ever used it for.
Last December I pick something up for a Christmas present and the guy there told me hey congratulations you're an onyx member now here's your new Onyx card. So he tossed my platinum card and gave me an onyx one. I tried to ask him what benefits I get from the Onyx card that I don't have from platinum and he couldn't really explain anything that sounded like I would care about it at all.
Now just today I went to pick up a used copy of cyberpunk to play through again for the DLC later this year, and she goes oh no you've been downgraded to platinum here let me toss your Onyx card and give you a platinum. Again I asked her what the difference is and she said something about the number of points I earned between membership birthday years. So I asked again what difference there is between the Onyx and the platinum card and she still couldn't explain anything to me.
I tried saying that this whole system of swapping and throwing out cards is wasteful and stupid and could be entirely avoided with just a generic card and then she's kept going on about how I can earn my way back up to an onyx card again. Still not understanding anything I was trying to say
So can anybody out there explain to me in any sort of comprehensible terms what's the actual f difference there is between an onyx and a platinum card and why I should care???? I'm sorry but telling me I've spent more than the average person at your franchise doesn't make me feel special or unique, it makes me feel used
Online it says there is no inventory, but I was just in-store and they said they still had some. Why? For anyone looking go in store!!
hi i wonder if u guys will received God of War Ragnarok: Jotnar edition at the lunch day ? thx
Hey all, I was hoping to take advantage of the switch trade in offer for the oled but my local store says they can’t see getting any in over the next few days and the promo is over the 17th. Any info on when my local store might get stock or if the event will be extended?
You may notice over the next little while that EB Games store signs are beginning to be taken down and replaced with GameStop store signs.
This is supposed to coincide with the GameStop change over sale that is currently happening until October 17th.
You could get lucky and see the signs taken down yourself one day soon.
