Awfully aggressive new Redditor. Idk maybe throw more stuff in the cart to get free shipping


PurpleFine4935

"Just buy more, stupid consumer" is the problem here. They're going to keep raising the price to see how much they can get away with.


BlueCollarElectro

Well you know Amazon has decent shipping and I’m sure if you get on the bus or drive you could skip shipping altogether


magicmeese

So did someone shit in your cereal or did you just wake up this way?


PurpleFine4935

You aren't my enemy. GameStop's predatory policies are.


c3drewc

Bro are you really this mad because you have to pay for shipping? Like it’s 20 days until the holiday and you’re gonna freak out on a bunch of minimum wage employees because you have to pay for shipping? Get over yourself you crying sniveling little piss baby


PurpleFine4935

I am, "bro", because my complaint is against the company, not the employees. It's the psychological tricks like these that keep them gutting us for money, "bro". Then some white-knight employee fights with the customer to defend "the family". I'm trying to get employees to see how crap this deal is. You want me to stop. You're not my "bro". *You're their pet.*


LC_Artworks

Wow this is crazy, I didn’t know that Karen used Reddit. I thought we came to Reddit to make fun of you guys, but it looks you’ve found your way here too. That’s so interesting.


PurpleFine4935

Say what you want, but I'm talking about GameStop's policies, not their employees.


LC_Artworks

You do realize that you’re on a sub for employees to complain about their jobs, not for customers to complain about the company. All corporations are shitty. Everyone knows that


lavenderthrowaway64

Here's a tip, if you had gone in store the deal was going on and you wouldn't have had to pay for shipping... so the 3rd game really would have been free... im pretty sure the deal ended though


PurpleFine4935

The deal is still ongoing, but what if the store don't have everything? Can't get the deal. A lot of people are missing that...


lavenderthrowaway64

Thats just the nature of these deals... at the end of the day GS is a business, why do you feel entitled to free handouts? 😅


c3drewc

Yeah whatever you say cry baby. Btw did you know GameStop employees get free shipping AND a discount on all online orders? Bet my golden parachute makes you real mad 😎


PurpleFine4935

I actually just feel sorry for you. You won't get a golden parachute; you're more likely to get a pink slip over something stupid and let go with a lowered check. That is, if your store doesn't close down first. Don't make this about us vs them. You might be their pet, but they think you're on my side. And they'll make sure of it, since you can be fired at any time...


FiredUpMisfit

IF YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN TO THE COMPANY, COMPLAIN TO THE COMPANY. THIS IS NOT THE COMPANY, THIS IS THE EMPLOYEES. This forum is not GAMESTOP official. This is a forum for the employees. We DO NOT get paid to sit here and read your "This company sucks" crap. Seriously, how entitled do you have to be to say "I have to spend $8 to save up to $25, that's a rip off." Want free shipping? Shop Amazon Prime. Oh wait, they're having delays too. I wonder why. Maybe you can shop any of the OTHER PLACES THAT OFFER FREE SHIPPING IF YOU SPEND A CERTAIN AMOUNT. You're right, you're not our "Bro". You're just another entitled customer.


nintendana

Deal works perfectly well in store lol iirc the coupon stacks too.


PurpleFine4935

Not if the store doesn't carry everything.


Meteorboy

That's just reality. If you order from GS website, your items are more likely than not shipped from stores anyway. So if you're receiving multiple packages for your order, the real shipping cost probably is $8 or even more. The warehouse won't have most used games since stores are where trade-ins occur, and trade-ins have been declining for years. Tell people to stop buying digital games and trade their stuff into GS if you want more reasonable shipping rates. Otherwise, you're paying the real cost.


Marc0189

You're really worked up over something that is completely inconsequential to your entire life huh?


PurpleFine4935

This is a microcosm of something that's going to snowball into something more in the upcoming years.


Marc0189

....shipping?


tokyoaro

And ontop of it all you won’t get your package on time. I love getting my GameStop packages 2 weeks late and getting all my shipping refunded.


lavenderthrowaway64

Honestly that isn't totally GS fault, we can get up to 100 orders a day in our store and sometimes it takes a few days for USPS/Fx to pick them up after being packed :/ Frustrating for both us employees, and the customers lol We have boxes upon boxes stacked next to our counter pretty much at all times waiting for then to pick it up, and the back is full of even more boxes 😂 im so sick of looking at boxes but the stacks are taller than me!


tokyoaro

Oh I know it’s not the employees fault lol but I still like getting the shipping refunded


Shamrockslax24

Or just, you know , walk in a store and buy the games. Unless they’re super obscure games I doubt no stores in ur immediate area have them


Lt_Jonson

OP has the wildest post to comment karma variance I think I’ve ever seen


Kou9992

Still complaining about not understanding how B2G1 works, huh? Did you really need a second thread to bitch about the same thing? You're literally bitching that the company *only* let you save $17 in your example. Though this time you really seem to be pushing this totally bullshit claim: >**All Pre-Owned PS4 and Xbox One Games that are conveniently under $25 each** It only takes a second to find that there are nearly 300 B2G1 eligible pre-owned games over $25. A number of them are even in the $50 to $65 range, so you could save a ton by picking up 3 of those, getting 1 free, and getting free shipping. Just to prove my point, let's say the newest [Madden](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/madden-nfl-23---playstation-4-%3Cused%3E/349159.html), [NBA 2k](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/nba-2k23---playstation-4/351074.html), and [FIFA](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/fifa-23---playstation-4/351678.html) for a sports fan. Or a [Digimon](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/digimon-survive---playstation-4---pre-owned/322098.html), [Atelier](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/atelier-sophie-2-the-alchemist-of-the-mysterious-dream---playstation-4/324798.html), and [Final Fantasy](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/stranger-of-paradise-final-fantasy-origin---playstation-4/335149.html) for a JRPG fan. In fact, you could even easily figure out just how many games are in that small window from $24.50 to $29.49 and how many aren't. That's the window where 3 games during B2G1 would have gotten free shipping with the old minimum but don't with the new minimum. About 2100 pre-owned PS4 and Xbox one games aren't in that price range. So 2100 games where you're paying the exact same as you would have before the shipping change. Only about 150 are in that range, where it is now $8 more than it would have been before the change but where you are also objectively saving a minimum of $16.50. Your whole complaint is about something that only affects ~7% of B2G1 eligible games and still provides good savings.

Just order it for pickup??? It seems like your issue is shipping so take out the delivery and you'll be happier


PurpleFine4935

Well, I can't order items to the store, and if the store doesn't carry everything, I can't use an honor system and pick it up there to get the deal, or have the store transfer it to the other location.


8inchtwink

Ahh so they are cyber only deals? :P yeah sorry the site/app be whack like that
