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.

More Ways to Contact GameStop Customer Service
There are of course other ways to contact GameStop customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
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.
