    Hope they don't send you second-hand goods, like they love to do.

      I've only once recieved a game still in the shrink wrap.. so I consider 99% of the stuff they send out used…

      • +4

        EB have a 7 day refund, you can buy any new game and return it for a full refund for any reason. They then place this game back on the shelf and sell it as new again.

        They will also take 'rare' titles and open the shrink wrapping so they can sell them for more than the RRP.

          Interesting read.

        • I wish you hadn't alerted me to this appalling treatment of staff, especially taking advantage of the vulnerable. The article is two years old now… I truly hope things have changed. I'm not sure I can walk into another store now.

        • Even if this is old news it's still terrible news that it happened. Sadly verbal abuse from 'higher ups' is common in other work places as well. Had it happen to me personally..day in day out…I ended up quitting my job because my emotions were becoming frail (This happened at another place not EB).

    That's all that I saw that were worth it.

  • does individual EB stores do mail orders?

    there are a few games I want from the recent sale, but it is sold out online and most of the stores near me, closest in-stock stores are like in a different state…………

    • Sadly, no. They are very unhelpful in regards to this issue.

      • damn

        well, ozgameshop have some of the games at similar price, don't say I didn't try to support local businesses :)

        • +22

          EB aren't local. They're based in hell and run by Satan.

      • I have made an order in store and had it delivered straight to my door on many occasions, free of charge.

    • what state? i can try and get it for you

      • thx for the offer, but the locations are quite diverse, one game in the top end (Casuarina), the other game is in Hobart, yet another game is in Rockhampton lol, I guess the stores in more populated areas have all been cleaned out.

        I guess it would be cheaper/easier to get ozgameshop to send me everything in one package, but thx again.

        PS I am in Sydney/Newcastle :)

    • I believe they do have a capacity to send stock from a store to your home address if you go in and your store has no stock but another does. I've used it before but it's not something staff bring up much. Not sure if the stock has to be in the same state or not, but it didn't come from the store I was visiting when I did it. There may be some other conditions too.

      The last I used it was for the snorlax beanbag (huge item). Shipping was free to our home. I vaguely recall using the same service one other time.

      Always seemed odd that they could offer that shipping/transfer for free in store but online orders are charged shipping.

    This code also works at Zing Pop Culture

    Edit: Didn't read title properly..

  • Thank you thank you! Was hesitating for the last three days to buy a 2nd hand Disgaea 5 ($28) but didn't want to dish out $9 for the delivery and no spare copy nearby. Now I have happily ordered one, thanks again OP!

    • +1

      My son is enjoying that game a lot, i hope you do too.

    • Thanks for the heads up. I was eyeing that too.

      Dragon Quest Builders is $34 as well.

  • How long is shipping usually for Sydney west? will be going over seas soon

    • +1

      Depends which store it comes from and when it's shipped. I'd say 2-5 days on average.

  • i went to eb games the other day and saw that Prey is only $36 instore

    • A truly great game

  • +1

    Picked up Mario Tennis. With the shipping taken off should be worth it for a few games ($15). Cheers.

    Thanks op. Got Shape Up (please dont judge šŸ˜Š) for $4.

    • +2

      I will judge, you are taking control of your life, good on you.

  • Thanks. Looks like they removed the nomads

    Cool- when looking up the Wii U art gallery game (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/320232), noted last night Star Wars deformed plushies (??!!!) for $1 (https://ebgames.com.au/loot-211650-Star-Wars---Episode-VII--ā€¦). Too lazy to go instore and too cheap to pay postage.
    Now I've got no excuses - sold!

    • Thanks bg and OP. Grabbed a couple of those plushies you linked (stormtrooper is instore only) and a few other things.

  • Thanks OPs grab some games for the kids

  • Awesome!! Bought pop vinyls only available online so not wanted to pay shipping fee…thanks OP!!!!! You r AWESOME!

    • I would just love it if they didn't put the big price sticker right over the front of the box. Yes, I know, where else are they going to put it…but it inevitably leaves a mark or a stain when it is removed. I keep them in the box, so it makes me irrationally annoyed.

      However, I do love the free postage (and the fact that they have exclusives). Obviously my annoyance doesn't extend to not buying from them.

      Which ones did you get? Currently waiting on a few SDCC ones to arrive, Harry Potter on broom, Luna Lovegood with Spectre Specs, and the flocked Tigger and Lorax.

  • Still working

  • Ordered stuff. Thanks OP

    Thanks :) the cost for shipping is terrible.

    disappointed. Bought a brand new game, received it without cover and booklet

    • You should take it into the store for an exchange then.

  • Bought Tokyo Mirage Sessions and it showed up looking like the box had been beaten to death :l Lesson learned, going back to buying all my games from UK sites.

  • Thanks! Just picked up a wii remote and nunchuck for $23. Original Nintendo ones are becoming harder to find. Good to have some backups!
