Think its a good deal then u get home and... :(
November 18, 2021

Gaming head set-Bought this head set for my son and when i saw the price we were so excited for such a killer deal. When my son opened it he was upset. If u look at my pictures the front of the box it shows the real head phone on one side and a pic of a head phone on the other making u believe ur getting a head set with two head phones. Instead it comes one sided. The back shows the real head set so make sure to look at detail.

I will be honest, I have no clue what kids see in these video games! But, I am a sucker for my grandson who loves them. I wanted to get him something special for his birthday. The gentlemen at this location were very friendly and patient with me.

GameStop is Great!
December 28, 2016

I've been going to GameStop for years now and always have good customer service. My local store is really well stocked and employees are very helpful.

This past Christmas I saved so much cash buying barely used games and a few classics for myself.
Can't say enough good things about my experience.

Having purchased a number of online games, I can say for certain that all of my negative experiences have been with GameStop. I think most of this has to do with the fact that this has become the most well known and established video game sales establishment, but their support isn't really helpful. Their deals are not really deals when you can save an additional 10% to 20% on other websites. Amazon usually kills them in terms of deals and Steam for virtual delivery absolutely crushes them. They are decent in-store when you need something real quick, but you'll be paying the GameStop tax.

Scammers
February 18, 2023

This company is a bunch of scammers and should be shut down. They price gouge by raising prices on merchandise that was cheaper a year ago because it's old to now its price as new and also they give you very low for trade in value and then resell for 4 times the amount. When you question it they tell you they have no control over these issues

Situational
July 5, 2015

I guess the good and bad of this place are all in which location you go to. The website blows its about as basic as you can get. The good part is going into the shop and spending 5-10 mins roaming the shelves for something cool. Some places have great people working there to chit-chat with about games, while other spots just have rude people that want you to pay and get out. I just like the former experience better. We could all go elsewhere, but good service would keep more customers in--house!

Good site, bad shop
October 2, 2015

If you want to learn about games, read reviews, then GameStop is the place to go, however other than price comparisons shopping there seems almost always troublesome. Customer service is always too late and too unhelpful to answer your problems. The prices also are not competitive at all.

Don't let others foul you
September 14, 2015

This place is great yes, And in times the prices can be fair, or unfair. Sometimes they pay you a lot for somethings, and sometimes you're better off just selling somewhere else. And o be honest, there have been many cases were they do not have a pretty common game I want in stock.

Exchange without receipt
January 12, 2024

Paulo (Pen Centre GameStop) and Alex (Eastgate GameStop) were collaboratively and enthusiastically able to locate my purchase by searching through their systems in order to better assist me with my exchange. I misplaced my receipt and the Item I purchased was faulty, lacking sustainability. I showed them a screenshot of my dated Interac transaction. With this information alone, they were able to do an exchange. I am overjoyed with the customer service. I became a member will continue to be a loyal and satisfied customer because of these two gentlemen.

Order is horrible
March 7, 2022

I am never ordering from gamestop again, the package got delayed 3 times.The shipping and overall tax is too much. I ordered a 9 dollar game which added up to $15.30.The package has one item in it, which is a small xbox game. There is no way one thing should take that long to come.

Ordered oculus. Walmart for some reason delivered it. Waiting and waiting never showed up. I have cameras and everything. Ordered as a Christmas gift for my kids. Investigation took over a month. No gift for my kids at Xmas. Game stop said it was delivered. Didn't ask for my
Footage nothing. I'm out of 500 and someone else is enjoying my gift for my kids. They did NOT care! No sorry no gift card no half off nothing. I paid full for something I never got. The driver or someone else is enjoying it. And I'm just out of luck. GameStop is the worst!

Just had the very worst experience with GameStop. We purchased a TV through them because it was supposed to come with $100 gift card (which was going to be a Christmas gift for my son). The gift card never came. After multiple email exchanges with them over a 3 month process... and being told that I would receive a replacement electronic gift card... they just told me that the gift card was used (likely stolen). They will assume no liability. I'm just out of luck.

At this point, it appears that all I can do is save others from a similar fate by sharing this.

I ordered 4 items from GameStop.com on 11-10-23. Shipping is $7.99 for 1-3 shipping. 1 of my four items arrived on 11-15-23. Today is 11-26-23 and 3/4 of my order still hasn't arrived. 1-3 shipping is now going on 16 days. The only updates I can get is that it still says that it is preparing to ship. And it has said this for the last 13 days. I have reached out with several emails to GameStop and all anybody could tell me is that they will try to speed up the process. This was my first time ordering from GameStop online and it will definitely be my last.

Worst company to deal with on a return
May 17, 2022

I purchased and iPhone 12 back in September 2021 new. It stopped working in January 2022 and I had a warranty so I returned it for my money back because the phone was defective.
Its going on May 18,2022 and I still haven't received my refund but they have their product back and customer service keeps telling me to be patient and wait for their corporate check and that takes 25 to 28 business days. Do the math I paid close to a $1000 for that phone and they wanted to give me store credit. Are they $#*!ing serious. They wont let me talk to the real people in charge because this issue could of been solved. I just want my money.
Dont ever buy from gamestop online because they sell defective products and take their time repaying you for their mistakes.

The game stop in Waco TX ******* is straight trash. The bald headed guy answered phones talked to staff and avoided helping his next in a very long line. He was slow as a snail and had no customer service skills at all. If he can get a job I got two lazy $#*! teenagers that need to hang out and make some money just let me know when I can send them your way thanks.

I have been shopping here with my son for years, since he was a little boy and he's now 23. They have great deals and friendly service, although sometimes slow; but that's mostly because of customers. Could add staff to speed up service.

It's just a scam
January 1, 2024

The warranty is practically useless. Just a waste of money as you can do nothing with it. Don't expect a refund because they will refuse to give you one. You'll receive faulty products and expect to spend more money or just deal with it, regardless if you have a warranty or not. It's no wonder this place struggles to stay in business and always has empty parking lots. Honestly, you'd be better off buying from a flea market.

What a joke
June 17, 2018

I tried to buy a CD key from their online store 3 or 4 times trying different payment methods. I was rebuffed every time for what should be a very simple, reflexive mechanism. It's like they don't want to be in business anymore.

So I bought two games listed as new on GameStop website. One was Ys pact edition and the other was prinny presents NIS classics. Was shipped in a shipping envelope cases were scratched up no shrink warp on product and didn't even bother to throw in the original case for the one of the new items. Very poor representation of GameStop and their company. Also deceptive business practices would be present here therefore they are not selling it as new but used. This seems to be common practice for GameStop especially if you're buying from their online store. Very poor presentation.

All sales final
December 8, 2023

All sales final. Saved 5 months to purchase v-bucks for my son. The cards won't link to his account, and the store will not make a exchange, much less a return. So I am out money that will still be in their pocket, but they don't care.

No warning of all sales final. Manager tells me it would be printed on receipt (you know, after the purchase). Not helpful.

I will not shop at GameStop again - EVER.
