Bruh, stand up for yourself. If they claim that, you point at the box you just posted a picture of and go "No, this is what you sent me, and it isn't new. I ordered a NEW game, not a Gamestop open box special."
If they really won't budge THEN you do a chargeback as others are advising, but that shouldn't be your first response.
They will 100% budge, OP just doesn’t actually care enough to solve the problem lmao
Not sure why you’re all over this thread insulting me? As I said elsewhere, I already tried to call and return it and they didn’t buy my story over the phone
Look man. If you ever work customer service, you're getting paid pennies and you just want whoever is taking to you to hang up.
That's what this person was doing to you.
Don't be rude... they're just doing their job, only at a bare minimum.
I’ve worked customer service jobs, not sure what your comment means. Ofc I’m not gonna be rude to the random GameStop employee on the phone?
Sounds like you're spending more time arguing in the comments about why you are getting ripped off than actually doing anything
I’m sorry, I think something I said must have been misinterpreted? Am I not supposed to reply to people in my post lol? People told me to call them, so I told people that I already called them. Do you have any other suggestions?
