GameNerdz is a strong value pick for preorders and new releases. Its homepage is built around discounted preorders, with each listing showing the store price next to the higher list price, and its policy lets you cancel a preorder within 120 days for a full refund to the original payment method. Shipping is easy to plan: most orders of $75 or more ship free to the contiguous United States, and smaller orders pay a $6.00 flat rate. Orders ship from Richardson, Texas, with processing typically taking 1 to 3 business days and transit 2 to 5 business days. The limits are geographic. GameNerdz does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, PO boxes, APO addresses or any country outside the US. It accepts returns of most new, unopened items within 30 days but may charge a 15% restocking fee, and it advises putting preorders on a separate order so in-stock games are not held back.
