Positive experience: Was alright, nothing to really complain about

Justin Fowler Posted on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: Complete incompetence at this store. Employees are unprofessional and also they never answer the phone.

Adam Lueckenhoff Posted on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: Man what?! Closed at 7:30 pm on a Friday?! For lunch?! The store closes at 9?? Who closes down the whole store to take a lunch 2 hours before closing?!

Zach Harris Posted on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: The store itself is ok if youre not looking for anything too specific because they never stock enough new games and now its more like a nerdier Spencers with all the stuffed animals and collectibles but what kills me is that they never and I do mean never answer the phone. I want to love it so badly because I grew up with gamestop but the trussville location just isnt it. You can literally call any other gamestop around Alabama and outside of 1 or 2 that are actually probably busy you will get an answer but never, will you get an answer with trussville for some reason. Help me turn this into a five star review by just doing better.

Mikell Armbrester Posted on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: Very bad customer service. I have called multiple times throughout 2 hours and still no answer. I also called yesterday a few times and they didn’t answer.

Quintin Nettles Posted on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: I’ve been calling all day to ask about a game availability an they never answer the phones very poor customer service they gotta do better

Nick Jacques Posted on Google 2 months ago

Negative experience: Have called many times on many different days seems like no one answers the phone just wanna ask if they have a game in stock before I drive up and this just makes me go to a different gamestop that actually answers the phone. They need to do better

Damian League Posted on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: It was horrible. Rude accountant. Didn't help with looking or finding a game in the system. Need to get them out of vusiness

Adrienne Griffin Posted on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I just want to shoutout James for all the help he assisted me with last night. I went in not knowing what game I wanted to get my for my son who’s 11 going on 12, that’s transitioning into a pre teen for a Nintendo switch. I wanted a game for him that he could enjoy for his age, but that also wasn’t too childlike for my son’s age. I really appreciate how knowledgeable and informative James is. I’ll definitely be back to give my business to this location.

Kaylee Ethridge Posted on Google 5 months ago

Negative experience: Does anyone work here? I’ve tried calling 8 times in the past two days and no one answers. It would be super cute and helpful if someone actually answered the phone.

Draven LeFan Posted on Google 7 months ago

Negative experience: lmao went to GameStop in Hoover and was told they didn’t have any Gameboy Advance SP games and the worker recommended me the GameStop in Trussville (here) had plenty of them and they were the retro shop, I get here and look around, ask where they are and was quickly cut off and told they would all be where I had been looking there were none. Terrible.

Jeremiah Richards Posted on Google 9 months ago

Negative experience: Does the store not work?! This is ridiculous!! I’ve called 12 times !!!! No help !

Laney Newell Posted on Google 10 months ago

Negative experience: I went in and grabbed what I needed and when we went to check out, the man was very rude and once we got home, the Wii remote we bought didn’t work and I’ve been trying to call for two hours and no one’s answering!

Skylar May Posted on Google 10 months ago

Negative experience: Horrible customer service tried to buy a game and I screamed and said put that on the shelf!! Will never be going back

Cynthia Galletta Posted on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Customer service is top-notch. Knowledgeable friendly clean relaxed atmosphere. They carry a selection of old video games as well as new. Game components and collectibles.

Aimee Gaskill Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: 25 minutes before close and before we could get through the door, Cole, your associate was shaking his head and we didn’t make it to the counter before he stated they have 20 minutes to close so he won’t buy our games. I get it, I worked retail… but 25 mins? It seems as if he was pre occupied flirting with co worker in the flannel.

Brit Posted on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Always someone there that actually knows what they're talking about Good place to buy older games and great if you have the rewards program attached to your account

White ShadowCV Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great selection of games and stuff toys and the service was a blast.

Tiara Hawkins Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: The store was nice but the employee there gave me hard time because I didn’t like one part of a game he really liked and proceeded to be flippant and disrespectful the whole time I was there with my friends. I emailed a complaint because I don’t deserve to be treated that way, especially as a customer, whenever I have an opinion about a game. And it’s not like I didn’t enjoy the game; there was just one portion that I didn’t like and he proceeded to act like a jerk. And it had been years since I came back to a GameStop. Ruined the whole experience for me.

Matthew Richardson Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience this location thanks to Simon. He was super helpful and patient while I traded in my old consoles for a new PS5, making the process easy and stress-free. Simon is a fantastic representative for the company—his excellent customer service makes me want to come back again!

Sherita Terrell-Cooper Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Good clearance selection and super friendly/helpful staff.

Ryan Amos Posted on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: The staff was very friendly on my visit. Considerably varied selection. Prices are a bit on the high side. However, if you want a game/accessory and can't wait on a delivery option, Gamestop is a good option for gently used items.

Tonya Mazingo Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We always pass by multiple locations to come to this one. We are always told about specials and game plus passes... the manager is hilarious, and remembers his customers

Dat Boy Jones Posted on Google 2 years ago

Geo Carriere Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I like the changes this store has made. The manager makes me feel valued and goes out of his way to help me with any issues.

M M Posted on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: Its a side hustle for paramedics / first responders to flip new PS5 and Xbox , they know when the new shipment comes in and buy them out and flip them for quick cash. Nothing wrong with the concept but when the guys are on the clock getting paid and loading them up in an ambulance in front of the store that's a joke. Something should be done about it. Im not mad about not being able to buy a ps5 , its the fact that government employees paid to serve the community spend there time like this.

Martin Fuente Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very helpful

Angel Omar Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since the GameStop that was close to my house was shutdown permanently. I started coming to this different location. And since then, I always have the best service. I will always buy on this location,no matter what, definitely recommended

Emmaaa143 Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our sales person was awesome. Super professional, tons of upselling/cross selling. She's a natural! Didn't catch her name.. brown hair with a surf/Hawaiian shirt. That store is lucky to have her!

Country Cole Posted on Google 4 years ago

Positive experience: Not very big selection at this location.

Jessi Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here at this particular location. Store clerk was awesome and accommodating to our order. Matched the price of the game found on their website compared to in-store price for same game. Encouraging and upbeat to my daughter with her purchase. Because of this, I would recommend this place to all and that customer service person get a raise!!

Courtney Turner Posted on Google 4 years ago

Alvin Hunter Jr. Posted on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: They really don't have good deals on games. I've been to flea markets that give you better deals on games!!! My suggestion is try a flea market or a thrift store. Don't waste your time in this place it's garbage and that's real talk coming from a collector and a gamer for years!!!

MITZI JOHNSON Posted on Google 5 years ago

Josh Kaley Posted on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: Staff was friendly and helpful.. but they have games on the shelf when they don't have them in stock. Found it cheaper on Amazon anyway

Rhonda Acoff Posted on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: Trying to get someone to answer the phone is like pulling teeth. There is a recording first then another recording never an answer. The times I have been there before service is great and staff is very helpful. I just don't want to waste gas if they don't have what i need

Jay Jordan Posted on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: i love this store. The manager is a gem and is absurdly nerdy himself. Not just trying to sell you stuff. He entire staff actually enjoys games and enjoy talking about it, none of them are rude or snappy and they keep a very clean, well stocked, tidy, and child friendly location.

Callie Ann Ray Posted on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a gentleman to assist me with my purchase. On my receipt it says his name is Zachary and I hope I'm giving the right person credit! He was extremely knowledgeable about different consoles and compatibility of games. I appreciate his help and how friendly he was. The store is nice and well kept. Games and products are organized as well. I definitely recommend this Gamestop location! Thank y'all for all the help!

BradsBurgers “NotAHero” Posted on Google 6 years ago

Lara Polk Posted on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great store very helpful employees. Always have what we want and can always take care of whatever we need. Definitely will be back

Vincent Posted on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: This store is considered to be the "hub" store for Jefferson County. So with that being said if you come into this one, expect to find a lot of different things that are loosely related to video games. Came in here for a new controller and was satisfied with the selection on offer. The biggest negative I would say is that even though it is the hub store their selection of games is still just as limited as all other locations. Staff are super friendly though

Preston Holloway Posted on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: I come here all the time!! I love the deals that they have on current gen consoles. I think they are steep on new games (or I am just cheap) so I usually only buy the super used and discounted games. The staff members are always super friendly and knowledgeable about the games they are selling. I don’t like having to have a membership or being asked 9 questions to try and get more money out of me when I buy a discounted game. The warranty is not worth $2 on a game that costs $9.99, but all in all I enjoy going here with my godless Heathen children on a weekly basis.

Raygan Kimbrough Posted on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Some games I bought were very dirty and my console wouldn't read them the first few times I inserted them. However, I cleaned them and they work fine now. Overall, in the store, employees were very nice and helpful.

Chris Alexander Posted on Google 7 years ago
