Mahahah money in there pocket.
I heard walmart layaway is the same thing. If you make the payments but then stop they put back all your stuff and charge you a 15% restock fee. So you dont get refunded all your money.
So game here. IF you put $5 down and dont pick it the system. They keep it as a restocking fee.
Either way i dont like preordering from stores like that. I only deal wil gamestop. Plus the own and workers there know me by name lol. So we all get along and its cool. I walk in and my games are already for me with my name on them.
Just found out the answer. I returned my $5 reservation card and got my $5 back. As far as Walmart goes . . . on the receipt it clearly states "If you cancel your layaway account: - - The items will be returned to inventory - - Your down payment, payments made, and the layaway open fee of $5.00 will be refunded". So, you can cancel your layaway account, assuming that you just opened it to pre order a Wii U, and get all of your money back.
Pre ordering from GameStop was my preference as well but I missed the pre ordering window before they sold out. So, I did the Walmart and Target thing as back ups. I was put on the wait list at GameStop and just got a call 2 days ago saying I could pick up my Wii U Sunday morning at 8:30 am. That's why I returned my Target reservation card and will close my layaway account at Wally World.
