Same here. I just have Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE from them left, but no way am I letting that $40 game disappear.
Wow, they had that game? It's not even listed at Best Buy.

According to an e-mail Best buy sent to my futureshop account designated e-mail, December 10, so yesterday, was apparently the last day to access futureshop for anything but order history (which now has to be accessed with order numbers which you were apparently expected to copy down).
I don't think I got that email... but holy crap. Why didn't they just find a way to merge accounts?

I never got that email apparently, last email was just telling me my futureshop orders were still waiting release

Uhh...I never got any email.

Wow, I didn't get one. I'm glad that I moved over nearly every order to amazon during the cyber monday sale. The only order I have left from FS is the Final fantasy XV one for 39.99.
 
I didn't get any email but I can't see my old Best Buy orders as well as Futureshop. I had to rest my password + change CC and I can only see orders that were done after that point. They can see my order though because if I grab the order number from my emails and give it to them they are able to pull up all the details.

I still have quite a bit, but some of them I'll need to update credit card numbers for. I do have the order numbers, but to just shut you out of finding them is pretty shit.

I only got that email on the email linked only to Future Shop, but not Best Buy. I think it was about e-mails being given to Best Buy and how they're consolidating under Best Buy, so maybe futureshop-only email accounts got it.

I feel like I should also add that the email also said that outstanding orders will process as normal (paraphrase because I closed it already and it's a pain to get on that email on mobile)
 
Yeah, but it was under a placeholder name like Yoshi's Woolly World was.


Go here to check your orders: https://www-ssl.bestbuy.ca/profile/c...utureshop.aspx

You need your order #, though. It says you can call if you don't know your order #.
That works, but only if you're not logged in (at least for me). This feels like they're just creating way more work for themselves than if they just kept the old website up.
 
More expensive than wasting some CS's time having them sit there and look through hundreds of orders to find the one 40 dollar game you placed in 2013? lol
 
UPS takes their sweet ass time don't they?

My package has been out for delivery since 7am and still isn't here.

EDIT: Came an hour ago, woot my laptop is here.
 
any of you bros live in Toronto and need a copy of XCX?
I have an extra copy I forgot to cancel once I got the SE, so I'm looking to sell for MSRP -tax (so 70 flat). just want to at least cover what I paid for it, but if it means a GAFer bro can get it for cheaper, don't mind not getting the tax/shipping back

...oh


well i can retrieve the order numbers from those emails they always send me to remind me about the orders
 
Anyone in Toronto who wants to sell their xenoblade rather than returning to Amazon let me know.

I feel like I should get a finders fee for reading the thread!

Everyone got them for $15 from amazon.ca here. lol

Does that include gift cards? because I frickin bought a $100 gift card for my $40 preorders of KH3 and FFXV
 
So, uh, where are you supposed to check your Future Shop orders?

I tried looking up my SMTxFE order at Best Buy and it says order doesn't exist...
 
Anyone know if Apple Earpods with microphone ever go on sale? Or if there's a cheaper alternative that isn't a sketchy made in China copy (that costs 2 bucks but makes you wonder if they won't just fall apart because they're 2 bucks)?

I've purchased some from ebay before for like 10 bucks IRC. it came in the apple box too so if it was fake they did a really job.
 
I completely forgot the Trails of Cold Steel is actually happening, and there is a CE for it too!

Pre ordered it at EBgames, the clerk almost can't find it because the name is not even properly entered in the system LOL
 
So I thought Devil's Third came in today

Got the parcel box key in my mailbox, opened the deposit box, oh look, the game isn't fucking there. Tracking number says it delivered. Are you fucking serious Canada Post? Jesus fucking Christ. I guess the guy put it in a different box and gave me the wrong key. Oh, and I can't get shit until Monday unless they drop by tomorrow. Fuck Canada Post. Fuck

EDIT: Jesus fuck this god damn company I'll call tomorrow morning. There are apparently 0 customer service reps available. Fuck Canada Post. Give me the drone-robot delivery service future already

Do you remember the name the clerk used? I tried to pre order it last week but the guy had no idea of what it was and was unable to find it.
 
Do you mean the order in which you bought the gift card, or the order you used the gift card for? I'd hope if you have an order number that it'd work, but I don't know.

I bought the gift card and used it on an order, but I still have the order number so it should still go through right? Maybe I should contact Best Buy and clarify with them

Yeah a lot of the fine print of those basically say that they are clones, maybe because of the negative feedback. I might consider a cheap one just to see if it works... but I guess in the end, I might as well just buy a real one if I end up replacing the knockoffs often.

Oh I haven't been paying attention - they changed the name of SMT x FE to #FE?
Yay, getting that for 40 as well then... just need to remember to update the credit card. lol

It appears as "LEGEND HEROES TCS" on my receipt, the showed me a list of upcoming vita games and it was on top.

One of the girls that works there know the game apparently and ask me if Trails of Cold Steel is the subtitle of the title, heh.
 
Remember that $15 credit offer if you purchased $100 worth they had a month or so go expires on the 15th. I just used the $15 towards another year of plus since there are never any deals on it anymore....
 
When returning games to BB, do I need to have a physical copy of the receipt or can I just bring up the PDF version on my phone?

Same thing is happening to me right now with Xenoblade. Item marked as delivered, but I didn't receive anything. I opened a service ticket with Canada Post, but Best Buy's policy is to wait 5 business days before they contact Canada Post, so I have to wait until next thursday before something possibly gets done.

I am not gonna defend Canada Post here but I don't think drones are going to fix human error. If they programmed your drone incorrectly, it's going to be the same result. Now, if you are pushing for an all robot system devoid of any human components...

You don`t need a physical receipt. I just show them the order receipt on my phone. Never had any problems or questions arise from doing so.

You don't even need to show the receipt on you phone, they can bring it up by looking up your credit card info.

I've been using these since early in the year and the initial pair I bought are still just as good as when I first got them.

I use them everyday for my morning gym routine, podcasts/music on my commute and while doing chores around the house and I've never run into any issues.

I'm assuming if doing it this way will cause them to have to look through all your orders, though. I once gave them my phone # when returning something, and the lady spent 10 minutes going through every single transaction I'd made to find the receipt.
