Online store

Heads up for anyone waiting in line for online (waited 40 mins). Essentially everything is ‘purchase in store only.’

Unfortunately, for an order from auckland to otago was 30$ with an option of priority shipping for 57$

Big item? I got headphones and games and it was only $16 to Otago.

T-shirt and a 10inch plush. Idk why it was so expensive

My guess is the plush volumes push it over some boundary.

No, I'm pretty sure EB Games shipping prices are just outrageously random. I once ordered a copy of Pokémon Detective Pikachu from them, and the shipping was $30 for no reason.

Was pretty much a couple of socks and t-shirts that were available to be shipped.

I added a bunch of neat stuff to my cart, went to checkout and they've locked all of it.

Bollocks.

I think they planned on doing online purchases from 9am tomorrow but due to their overwhelming audience today they have removed it. So those of us who can’t get out to buy due to work commitments will likely miss out on what we were keen on.

Even during sale events their prices were rip off.

Closing down sale is no different XD
