I got it from VGC the day after gamestop and amazon stopped taking orders. Processed my card but no update on order status page and you can still keep ordering sticks. I hope this isn’t as bad as it makes me think it is. Anyone else order from VGC?
ay, so GS isnt taken in trade-in’s for store credit in feb?
Looks like im getting the Fightstick and modding it.
I am just glad I got my SE reserved, and finally paid off today.
This is my first arcade stick so I am very excited. :wgrin:
I’m not rich and I don’t have the time to play in tourneys. Plus I’m still learning how to play fighting games correctly. I think that qualifies me as casual. :razz:
Was about to ask how VGC was, as I was debating ordering from them.
They look shady as fuck and I’ve heard mixed reviews, but leaning towards bad.
There not shady at all. Only downside is s&h. But they have reasonable prices on everything. If want a new fliptop or freeloader I’ll just drive down and pick it up. They know what they’re talkin about they even have a podcast
You seem pretty adamant in defending their quality.
How many times have you dealt with them in the past?
And picking up in-person is a whole different story than online buying. 
Maybe in person they would answer the simple questions:
-
Was the first shipment out of stock when I pre-ordered.
-
Why are they still taking pre-orders when no one else is?
If they were to reply to the email or answer their phone and someone was to post here alot of questions and concerns would be alieveated.
I’m going to poke around my area for a bit. I don’t get paid until Feb. 10th (LAWL) and maybe I can put a few bucks down now if some of the lesser known places have these sticks available.
What’s the minimum you can put down on these, anyway?
Whatever the stores policy is
instore at gamestop was like 50.
While amazon.com is nothing, and VGC is all of it, lol
I wasn’t sure if Amazon was sold out or just wasn’t taking preorders. I’m still confused.
What about places like Target and Walmart? These places seem to pull through in times like this.
VGC on the order page says they know how many they are getting and have no yet reached their limit. They charge a bit for shipping but if this is true and you have the cash I would go for it.
*Think I saw a free shipping code somewhere earlier in the thread…too late after my order heh but may save you some cash.
- They don’t answer emails, despite having one specifically for order assistance.
- They charge immediately for preorders AND don’t answer emails about that practice.
- They are not up front about shipping amounts.
Conclusion: Shady. As. Fuck.
EDIT - On hold with them now as they apparently need 5+ minutes to look up an order. Keep in mind that their phone number is NOT toll-free.
EDIT 2 - Still holding. Fuck this place. Do NOT order from VGC.
EDIT 3 - Hung up. Called back. Same girl answers. Give her order number AGAIN. Puts me on hold AGAIN.
EDIT 4 - And now I call Visa. Their “store policy” says they’d have to charge me $20 to cancel the preorder. Fuck that shit. Fuck that place. I’m using my sig for vengeance. VENGEANCE.
Well damn. Guess this gives me more time to save up the cash to get one. I’ve been looking for a great stick to invest in and this seems like a perfect one for me. If anything I might also pick up the fight stick aswell since my friend plays good on sticks.
Well, the Visa dispute won’t work, and I understand why; Terms of Service are something I agreed to.
Guess I’ll let the order go and wait on my stick. My own fault for not reading about shitty, shady websites before giving them hundreds of dollars. I owned myself. Still, though, there are other sites to order from that don’t engage in that sort of practice. Fuck VGC.
This is the one that got me.
I already feel weird ordering from them S&H and all. If this turns out sour for me, I want to make this bullploppy as known as possible.
I ordered my TE stick at gamestop.com to deliver to my house and now it’s saying backorderd, I wonder if I’ll even get a copy?
i just pre-ordered my TE stick yesterday.
gamecrazy re-opened pre-orders due to high demand
I was able to cancel my VGC order after I got one through amazon when they opened PS3 orders for a day.
They charge a 5% processing fee but meh it was only 9 dollars
Went from paying 30 dollars for shipping from a shady place to getting free 2 day shipping from a place I trust
i ordered from vgc today , will update on whether or not i got scrwed
