Dear Gamestop: Thanks for the free Collectors Editions
By melcene 13 Comments
So the weirdest thing happened this week.
Last week husband and I decided ok fine, we're going to order 2 Collectors Editions of Cataclysm, since we have the previous Collectors Editions. We ordered through Gamestop, and pickup wasn't available, so they're being delivered to our house today by UPS. Cool.
Over the weekend, my bank showed a "hold" of the correct amount for the CEs plus shipping. This isn't unusual, and nearly always happens when I purchase something via credit card. I expected the "hold" to go through yesterday as an official transaction.
Yesterday I check the bank account... no official transaction with Gamestop for that price. Check our tracking information on the package, it was in Kentucky and being shipped out to us on the West Coast. Well, this isn't completely odd. I've seen this sort of thing happen with our bank account before. Not often, but the hold gets removed from the hold list, but still goes through a day later or so.
Today, check the bank account... still no official transaction from Gamestop listed in our activities. No "hold" listed either. Our packages are currently "out for delivery" according to UPS.
So it seems like we may have gotten our Collector's Editions of Cataclysm for free due to some error either on Gamestop's part or the bank's part? Either way, I won't complain!
Edit: I just double checked the order history, and they have marked the order as closed and shipped.
