If I could leave less than a star I would. I ordered a Nintendo switch and they only sent me the cables and the wrist straps for the controllers. No consol was ever incased in my package. What am i supposed to do with just the cables? I called them multiple times, each time I would be on hold for anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour. There was no help. They told me that I could file a police report but that they would not help. I used to love this company, but I will never shop with them again.

Products used:
I couldn't use any of the products sent to me seeing as there was no consol enclosed.

I ordered a game from Amazon, and after a month delay in the release; they quoted me a release date over a week after the stated launch day for the game. That was unacceptable to me, so I canceled my preorder, and went looking for another game store that could help me get the game on time.

I found GameStop, and was assured that they had the game available, and it would be released and shipped on time. That if I had it delivered from the local store, id likely get it the next day.

So I placed the order.

The day came, and they said they had shipped it. I went looking online to confirm it, but the shipping company said they had not received it. Only the pre-shippment info. I ordered it from an Oregon store. They were trying to ship it from Texas!

When I contacted them complaining of the lie, and the attempt to ship from Texas, they gave me the run around. When I tried to cancel it, so I could just download it without the bonus; they refused. Saying it would take 48 hours for any attempt. And it wasn't guaranteed even then.

I told them they would lose my buisness if it was not in the mail as they claimed, and here when quoted. Even warned them I would leave negative reviews of they failed to uphold their end of the agreement. It was neither. They still gave me the run around. When I tried to remedy the issue, I was transferred to several different people. One for each attempted email. Each giving me the run around. Even though I told them delays, lies, and excuses would not be accepted.

As it stands the game will be over a week late. And I have had it with their lies and run around.

If you have anything thats time sensitive, or you need decent costumer service, avoid GameStop. They do not respect their customers, or their customers time.

They will give you the run around, hold your money hostage, lie to you about it, and tell you to have a great day.

They are a disgrace to what good game stores use to be. Shame on them!

I'm never ordering from them again. I'd suggest for your own sanity, and wellbeing that you look elsewhere too.

Tip for consumers:
They lied to me, and thats what ticked me off the most. Then gave me the run around, because I was deeply irritated with them. And told them I would be leaving negative reviews, if the insisted on playing games with me, and would not either refund my money so I could just download it, or make sure they kept their word, and delivered it in a timely manner. They tried to ship it from Texas, after I explicitly told them that time was important. Who knows when it will arrive. Im done with them!
