They stand by their work and fixed it again, this time with no further issues. They know their stuff, and back up their work.

I stopped by Toys of the Universe in Torrance today and unfortunately had a really uncomfortable…read moreexperience. When I first walked in, a staff member greeted me and I started browsing on my own. While I was looking around, someone in the shop (I'm not sure if they were a customer or a friend of the staff) loudly made a comment along the lines of "look at this nerd pretending to look at stuff," clearly so others in the store could hear. I was just minding my own business and browsing like anyone else would. It was embarrassing and honestly made the experience pretty unpleasant. I was already having a rough day, and that interaction made it worse. Because of that, I most likely won't be returning. It's a shame, because the store seemed like it had some cool items, but no one should feel mocked just for looking around in a shop.

You should go check out Cali games if you have not been before, it just feels so nice when you walk in. Its the best. :D

Gamestops get a bad rep these days, but I think its totally undeserved…read more As for this location, its pretty neat. There's all kinds of selection of games from used to new for pretty much all modern consoles. This particular GameStop might not bolster the most impressive nor robust inventory of games (usually missing more niche titles/harder to find games) but they do still have a nice selection of games to buy and most of the new titles are available at the store. As for customer service, the staff was pleasant and quick. They didnt try to hassle me about signing up for pro membership and just let me make my purchase. I copped Ocotopath Traveler 0 and Final Fantasy Xll The Zodiac Age, which was neat because they can be somewhat difficult games to find physically. Overall, I'm excited to keep coming back to this location and add onto my physical collection whenever I can.

writing to file a formal complaint regarding my experience at your Torrance store location today…read more I originally visited the Long Beach store on 4th St. looking for Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition. The staff there informed me they were out of stock but confirmed that the Torrance location had 5 copies available. Based on this information, I drove 20 minutes to the Torrance store. Upon arrival, I spoke with a gentleman named John. When I asked for the game, he told me they did not have it. When I explained that the Long Beach store had specifically seen 5 copies in their system, he dismissively told me they didn't have any. He was very rude throughout the interaction. I am very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and the conflicting information provided between stores. I hope you will look into this matter. Regards,

The lady helping process my return at this store simply told me she couldn't process my return because the stores policy is 7 days and I had past that time. She didn't try to honor her companies policy that I was following because it didn't align with her store? She gave me no solutions even after I told her the about GameStop email instructions. The store is not aligned with the brand. What a frustrating experience at this store.
