Worst Customer Service ever!
Luckily for me, I received my purchased items without any issues, so there's that. 😮💨
However, the issue for me is: as SOON as I placed my order, I realized I wasn't sure about duties and extra taxes since I ordered from the EU, so I wrote them asking simply if they shipped any items from a EU warehouse. Easy. Yes or no question, but it was important because depending on the answer I might have had to cancel my order because I risked being hit with an insane amount of duties and whatnot upon delivery.
I got a reply asking for which items I had purchased, so they could investigate. I promptly sent a screenshot of my receipt. Then, crickets. Nothing else from them.
After a number of days, I replied again, to my ALREADY ACTIVE "support ticket", a follow-up email, to which they replied:
"Hello and thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

(me:🤔?)

Um... Done, dude, that's why we were currently talking back and forth, through a *ticket that I had opened* and was never resolved.
So, I replied again, saying "I already did that". Then I got another reply. Wanna guess what they said? Same generic---

But they didn't stop there. They then CLOSED my ticket as "resolved".
But it wasn't resolved, was it? I still had the exact same question as before. I had already looked on the (terrible btw) website, FAQ, Shipping info, and I had found conflicting/incomplete info, and/or I wasn't sure of the answer, so I did what THEY TOLD ME TO: contacted support.
Anyway. I opened another ticket. Mentioned what happened the first time, and asked SIMPLY:
"Do you ship from within the EU?"–in slightly different words, but same same.
The reply? Yep. They did it again:
"Hello (my name),
Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.
We understand that you are concerned with your Shipping address."
(me: oh yay! Finally! 😃)
"You can find information on official Rockstar Games merchandise at the following link:

🤡😑🤌
Are you kidding me? This is so disrespectful, so dismissive, it's like they're mocking me to my face, after I spent money on their platform and I was truly concerned about it.
Later today, the package was delivered (which I didn't even know was arriving, since there were no updates at all on it, but great!!! Phew!), and luckily there were no extra duties or anything, so technically my problem and doubts were over, but having had such a shitty "customer service support", I can't in good conscience recommend anyone to shop here. I certainly won't do it again. Disgusting. 👎
