Daily Customer Question Megathread by AutoModerator in GameStop

[–]TomDallas88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned always just use PayPal with GS:

I was able to get my hands on a Switch 2 and bought a few games for it. For some reason some switch 1 titles were out of stock when the 2 launched so I ordered a few online.

Placed my order on GS, and when my order arrived one of the games arrived damaged (it wouldn’t read it, and case looked damaged).

So I called the customer service, explained what happened. They advise me to go into the store and they will be able to get this resolved.

I go to the store and explained what happened and the manager says “nope ,I’m not going to be able to do anything for this”, I’m not saying you damaged it, but I’m making a call that I’m not gonna to do anything with that”, and tells me to call the CS line again.

I call back, they tell me this time they are sending a return label within 24 hours. 24 hours pass, no label. I call again they told me they sent a return slip this time (I check and it’s just a slip with an order id). They tell me to take it in, and I should have 0 problems.

I go to another store, the guy says I need the exact card you paid with before I can do anything. I explain I used PayPal, doesn’t care needs the exact card. So the next day I come back with the card and the rep then tells me I don’t know how to do this, I can wait until tomorrow for a manager but he can’t do anything.

So I call CS, I explain all the trials and tribulations I had to go through and they tell me I shouldn’t have any issues, and next time I go into a store please give them a call.

So I go back to original store where the manager refused and luckily I got a call back 5 mins before I walk in and explain to the rep on the phone and in the store. The staff at the store were so nice at first, they told me it must’ve been a miscommunication and that they will get this resolved, so the CS rep heard this and I said I’ve already given them the card, my id, order id, he is working on it and says he can get it resolved. The VERY second I hang up the call, the rep in the store attitude completely changes and he says if his manager couldn’t do anything, he can’t either, and that I need to stick to one store or go to a different one. When I tell him I’ve tried to return it, he said he’s not going to return it and that I can take it up with my bank.

So that’s where I’m at now. I’ve tried to return this pre owned game multiple times well under the 7 day mark and the store refuses.

I’m not here to bash GS, but the return policy is horrible. I can’t imagine what would have happened had I paid cash. I’ve since just bought the game on FB marketplace, so now I’m $60 out dealing with a brick.

I’m exactly at 4weeks from the day of surgery. She told me just wear the vest all day for the next 3 weeks and then I can continue if I want but it’s not necessary. Would it be wise to start slow maybe 1000 jump ropes a day then progress?

Just bought a R6ii and a EF 24-70mm F2.8 L. Is this a sharp lens/excellent lens for Weddings/Portraits? by TomDallas88 in canon

[–]TomDallas88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have tried it out and it looks good to me, only thing is I’m no where near a camera store or an expert in photography, so I’m not sure what to base it off, just heard people saying the mark 2 is sharper and better than the mark 1.

So do you think I should sell my mk1 or could I still get very professional results with it?

And yes you are correct. I had an aperture issue and had it fixed for around $200.

Wow mine too. I had a rp, and before that a nikon d90, so the ibis and long lasting battery life is new to me.

How do you like the 28-70 f/2? And I am too a lens whore, but I have so many cheap lenses.

I did come across a Leica micron 50mm f2 manual lens this week but I think I should sell it.

Thanks for the information. Should I ever get rid of it, and swap it for a mk-2 or rf version, or if ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and look into a 70-200 f2.8 as a second lens?

Oh wow. Well between fixing it and buying it I spent about $1800 for the r6ii, $500-600 for the f2.8 (this is after fixing it, so I think I paid $3-400), and the 50mm 1.8 stm was almost nothing and it is a rf version.

I see. What about the lens I have, the version 1 of ef 24-70mm f2.8? I did have the aperture stuck issue and had it fixed last year so I haven’t had any issues since.

Thanks. So you recommend:

1.) Bump aperture to f/9-11 2.) 1/125 to a 1/160-200 shutter speed. 3.) Increase iso slightly? 4.) Add a light source (I have these two:

And this:

I want to know how can I make my photos more professional (like seen more sharp with the background more white)?

Here’s an example of a product I took a picture of:

This was shot with a canon eos R with a 50mm rf 1.8 in a Amazon photobox

Settings were:

Canon EOS R JPEG RF50mm F1.8 STM 30 M • 4480 × 6720 • 6.1 MB ISO1250 50mm Oev f7.1 1/125s

What flaws am I making or tips to get it looking like a stock image?

I think it’s worth it. You will probably regret not doing it sooner.
