This can not be done "easily." If that was the case nobody would have gotten $9.99 Xboxes to begin with.

Most carriers allow shipments to be recalled. Not saying that's happening here, but it absolutely could. You'd see it on the tracking if it happened.

yes, it can be done easily. you do realize with both FedEx and ups it's as easy as entering the tracking number and paying a small fee?
with a commercial account it's even easier.

my delivery got updated . Its coming tomorrow now
idk wtf is going on with mine. It's like the positions swapped where the fedex shipped full price S is "Awaiting Carrier Pickup" and doesn't show the tracking number, but I can still pull up the tracking number manually and see it is en route.
The $10 S still has no movement or updates.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Correct - it's usually a small fee on top of them forfeiting whatever they've already paid in shipping costs. With an 8 pound box, they're still taking a pretty big hit - but not as much as losing $290 giving away an Xbox Series S for $10.

on the actual GS order page, my 2nd xbox has changed from saying "shipped" with a tracking number. To now it says awaiting carrier pick-up.
but the tracking i have from the email says its almost here. Do u think they stopped it?

That's what mine is like now but it's also my full price one that says that... Idk

A lot of stuff gets stuck in "Awaiting Carrier Pickup".
Had some stuff sitting in that status for a good 3-4 days, before they finally shipped it. Wouldn't worry too much.

Then why are they being delivered if it's so easy?
Im fully aware of how it works. Good day.
Edit: I believe the discrepancy comes from what you would call easy but I failed to get further clarification. I would not call it easy in the slightest but this isn't worth debate at that point.

Second console out for delivery today

It’s very easy, my company used to do multiple every day with a small percentage of the orders GameStop processes. All you need to do is pull line items with the pricing and dump the tracking numbers.

Perhaps I am wrong then. I worked in a warehouse that partnered with UPS and I would not call the process "easy" by any means.
But I stated in a different comment the definiton of "easy" could be the difference here. Not worth debating honestly.

Yeah, I'm not trying to be combative. Depending on your job role and access it might be very difficult.

$343.96 including shipping (i did expedited) and tax, which settled Sunday when the second console was marked as shipped. I also have a $51.59 auth sitting there but nothing additional shipping, so I'm expecting it to drop off.

were you able to figure out the 51.59? In terms of what it is?

FWIW, I'm not opening them for at least another day or two just in case some craziness happens.
edit: the Fortnite XSS is still showing 'awaiting carrier pickup' on the order, where it had the tracking info yesterday and changed mid-day

LOL GS did give some of these away in the end. Never figured they'd actually let it happen. Congratz to those that won the game.

Just return if something happens or do a charge back.
The returns are juicy, tho

U figure some were bound to get thru. But if it wasn't for bad luck, i'd have no luck at all. So im still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I did jump on this quickly. Idk how long it was available. But i bought it before this thread even had a reply. like 10am or something on Thanksgiving. I didn't even really pay the $9.99 either. Since they had sent me a $10 gift card as consolation for cancelling the order.
the temp charge doesn't look like its going thru either

My second one just showed that fed ex picked it up last night. See what happens. I canceled the other order I had before anything shipped since I received the email for it and they caught it.
So if this one does show up looks like I got one for 9.99 anyhow.

What's your local sales tax?
Ah I see. One of my orders that is mid-shipment changed from having a tracking number to "awaiting carrier pickup".
I HIGHLY doubt the aforementioned order would be cancelled or shipped back to Gamestop, as it's just some games I bought a bit over a week ago. Like 0.01% chance of it happening.
I've had 100+ orders on Gamestop's website, and I can't really ever recall having any more than 3-4 issues out of all those orders (and that's more so relating to Gamestop usually shipping me the wrong game).

Fed Ex is fucking shit show for me right now so I don't think i will be able to get my packages. I am trying to get a XSX for a buddy I ordered from Walmart and the refuse to leave it at my door or let me pick it up somewhere even though I was told 4 times that if I sign the slip they left they would leave it.
I am seeing the same "shipping restrictions" on the other two XSS packages coming from GS. So I am probably fucked lol.

Not anything nearing anything that would make sense, even as tax on a $45 purchase

Lucky I dont use GS anymore.
For all you gamers scoring the 2 for 1 deal, now GS will have to make that money back..... by offering gamers even worse trade in values and hiking up price of used games another buck or two!

They can sell a few shares of their inflated stock and they'll be fine.

Sweet sweet revenge for them not hiring me back in the 90s. The manager said I liked games that were 'too obscure' so I'd be a bad salesperson.

They pretty much told me the same thing. Only difference is that the original charge that had settled yesterday disappeared from my card transaction history overnight. But I also got an email this morning telling me that my bundle will be shipping soon.
So right now I have no charge to my credit card, no console, a new email telling me my console is about to ship, a code for 3 months of Gamepass, and a $10 GameStop gift card. This is weird.
