Pets EP Order Update
POSTED ON 10/29/11
I\'ve now returned two of the three EP\'s that were shipped to me, for some unknown reason. I\'m still waiting for a refund. I shipped the games back at my expense on 10/21 and they were received and signed for on 10/26. Still waiting EA!

EA\'s lousy customer service

I recently pre-ordered the new Pets expansion pack as EA had sent me a discount code for 25 percent off of my order.  I processed the order and it was accepted.  No problem right?  Wrong.  I checked my bank account and EA charged me full price for the EP.  I had my email that showed the proof of purchase, the amount of charges, and the order information.  I contacted customer service, what a joke.  I was told that the discount could not be used for pre-orders.  No where on the email, even in the fine print, which I read all of, does it state that pre-orders are excluded.  The order processed with the discount and EA just decides to go ahead and collect the full amount from my bank. 

I am beyond livid concerning this matter and I emailed EA hoping that we could get this issue resolved.  No such luck.  I got a response telling me again that I was not allowed to use the code for a pre-order, no offer to refund the overcharge, nothing. 

Be forewarned that EA\'s business practices are shady.  Just because you don\'t authorize a charge does not mean that EA will not go ahead and collect whatever amount that they see fit.  I would love just to cancel the entire order and get a refund but since EA already has my money I have no way to ensure that I would ever get a refund.  I\'ve already found out that they can\'t be trusted.  For all I know they would just not send the merchandise and not refund the money either.
