Street Fighter 4 Collector's Edition
1.) Less than 30 minutes after I completed my transaction, a GameStop representative called me to confirm this order. Mumbling something about an address verification for the credit card that was used for this transaction.
2.) Furthermore, why was I NOT NOTIFIED at the "time" that I verified my address, that THIS ITEM HAD BEEN D-LISTED? I mean seriously, would it have been too proactive to have even considered adjusting your website to mention "OUT OF STOCK".. Or "D-LISTED" instead of processing a transaction for an item that WAS NEVER INTENDED TO SHIP?
3.) Lastly, NOT ONLY ARE YOU "NOW" HOLDING MY $95.73.. Hostage (you are literally borrowing it for 3-5 business days), but, you have the audacity to attempt to charge me $10.14 for some sort of processing fee. Are you kidding me?
To add insult to injury, I received a "canned" response from GameStop. That implied that somehow "my financial institution" was to blame for the incurred charges to my credit card.
NO APOLOGIES for taking my cash for an item that they KNEW they didn't have in stock, and that they NEVER INTENDED to ship.
AND! Had my son not logged into our GameStop account, and NOTICED that the order had been CANCELLED, we would still be sitting here twiddling our thumbs, wondering where the shipment was. As GameStop never even bothered to notify us.
AND IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE, that I should not be charged a processing fee. I never cancelled the order. GameStop did.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT GIVES HERE? Why is the consumers responsibility to LOAN MONEY to GameStop? I have to admit, this is a clever approach to floating cash flow... But, at what expense?
Absolutely disgusted!
