This is my LAST transaction with GameStop....ever.
I pre-ordered Battfield: BC2 on the first day the pre-order was available (it was only available from GameStop at the time). I paid for overnight shipping.
Yes I know....why couldn't I just wait....I know....I've been told many times to never shop with GameStop.
So, this past weekend (I think Friday) I was finally charged....but not for overnight shipping like I had originally ordered.
I contacted them via email (since their phones were off for the weekend) and they told me that there was nothing that they could do, since it was already packed, labeled and ready to be loaded on the truck....so they pretty much slapped me in the face and told me it would be 5-10 days before I received it.
F that!
So, I tried to cancel, and they refused to cancel it even before it shipped.....pretty freakin shitty if you ask me.
So, it shipped.....USPS snail mail....and won't be here until next week. So tonight, I will order it on Steam like I originally should have and will return the GameStop purchase.
My question is simple - can I purchase online and return to a local GameStop?
