GameStop complaint?

Do you have a dispute or a bad customer experience with GameStop? Report it through our website to maximize the chance of getting it resolved.

We help you write an effective complaint in minutes. Our AI models are trained on thousands of effective complaint letters. Then we push it through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal. And you are not alone: our helpful community is there for advice.

The GameStop customer service number in our records is 1-800-883-8895, and order, shipping and rewards account questions also run through the support section on gamestop.com. Have the order number, the email address on the account and the date of the order ready.

For anything that happened inside a store, start with that store and then its district manager: store level issues are handled locally, and the national support line will route you back there anyway, so note the address, the date and the time before you call. Start your complaint here as well and we open a case and coach you on what to reply, when to push and how to escalate.

Check first whether the order shipped from a warehouse or from a store, because the two behave differently. A store fulfilled order can be cancelled days later if the item is not actually on the shelf, and that usually shows up as an unexplained delay before it shows up as a cancellation. Look at the order status in your account together with the carrier tracking, and note the exact wording and the date of the last update.

If the tracking says delivered and nothing arrived, or the wrong item came out of the box, report it in writing the same day with photographs of what you received and of the shipping label. Then put the order number, the dates and the tracking status in your complaint and we bring it to their attention through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.

Return windows and condition rules differ by product type, and opened software is treated differently from hardware and accessories, so read the return terms on your receipt or order confirmation instead of assuming one rule covers everything you bought. Bring the receipt and the original packaging, and for an online order use the return label from your account so the return is linked to the order rather than arriving anonymously.

If a return is refused and you believe it was inside the terms you were given, ask for the reason in writing, and note the store, the date and the name of the employee. A complaint through our complaint process brings that to GameStop through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.

Write down the store address, the date and the time, then be precise about what went wrong: a store closed during its posted opening hours, a trade-in valued at less than you were quoted, a pre-order that was not held, or a member of staff who refused something the receipt allows. Naming the location saves a step, since these complaints are handled by the store manager first and then the district manager.

Keep it factual and dated. A complaint that names the store, the day and the hour is much harder to wave away than one that describes a bad afternoon, and it is the version other customers of that same store recognize straight away.

Not if the web address only looks like GameStop's. Copycat shops have used its name and logo to offer sold-out consoles as in stock, and in 2021 GameStop itself warned about one that listed a black PlayStation 5 limited edition that was never sold. Check the address before you pay.
