What are the hours and when should I call?
GameStop operates the call center for this 800-883-8895 phone number Mon-Sat 8am-10pm, Sun 8am-8pm CT.The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 398 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the GameStop call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this GameStop phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like GameStop staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call GameStop is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 213% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 398 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

I had a problem with an order that I placed online. It said that it shipped, but when it arrived, there was another game in the packaging. This was an odd mistake and not one that I've ever seen happen. Of course, the holiday season is extremely busy, and apparently, some elf wasn't paying too much attention in the packing department. I wasn't quite sure how to deal with the situation, but I still wanted the game that I paid for, so I figured the best thing to do was call GameStop and talk to someone about how to get this fixed.
They probably have a lot of people calling their phone lines, especially since Christmas just ended. I may not be the only person who ended up in this situation, and there are probably people attempting to figure out how they can return things. Usually, you can't return games once they are open, and I'm sure that has caused some sticky situations with some angry customers. Despite that fact, I only spent about two minutes on hold, and that isn't bad as well, so if I had a new problem, I wouldn't hesitate to call GameStop again.
When I called, an automated assistant picked up the call and said, "Thank you for calling GameStop. To connect you to the person who can best assist you, please listen carefully and select from the following menu options. Press 1 for assistance with your GameStop.com order or product information. Press 2 for assistance with your GameStop Pro account or Gamer magazine subscription. Press 3 for assistance with a store-related inquiry. Press 4 for a gift card-related inquiry. Press 5 to hear these options again." I chose option 1 because I needed assistance with my order from the online website.
This took me to another directory, and there were around five options, but they went so quickly that I wasn't even sure what half of them were. This worked out in my favor, though, because I didn't know what to pick, and it automatically just transferred me straight to a hold line. It instructed me to "Please hold for the next available representative," which worked fine for me. I was on hold for about two minutes, listening to a calm guitar melody. Then Hector picked up the phone and explained that they would be sending me a shipping code to return the incorrect game, and once it was received, they would mail out the correct one. My only issue is that Hector had a really thick accent, and sometimes I had to ask him to repeat himself. Besides that, my problem was resolved, and the process was fairly simple.

Additionally, pre-owned items may have a shorter return window and must be in good condition to be accepted.

At GameStop, our pre-order policy ensures that customers can secure their highly anticipated games by reserving them in advance. Pre-ordering allows gamers to guarantee a copy on or shortly after the release date, even for limited editions or rare collector's items. To pre-order, customers can visit any GameStop store or our official website and place a small deposit. This pre-order deposit can vary depending on the game or edition. By pre-ordering, customers are prioritized for stock allocation, reducing the risk of missing out due to high demand. However, it's important to note that pre-orders are not mandatory, and customers can still purchase games without a pre-order. Furthermore, if circumstances change, pre-orders can be canceled, and deposits can be refunded. GameStop's pre-order policy aims to provide an additional level of convenience and assurance for gamers who want to obtain their favorite titles hassle-free.

Information about why customers call GameStop is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, GameStop provides this option.
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
GameStop, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
Some customer service teams, like that of GameStop, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- GameStop customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
