Does Gamestop Process Orders on Weekends?
Currently, Gamestop processes and ships items out Monday-Friday. This means that orders placed on Saturday and Sunday will be processed/shipped on the following business day.
Orders that are placed towards the end of the week will take longer to be processed and delivered primarily due to the weekend.
Also, when calculating your delivery time, do not count weekends as the estimated delivery is calculated by business days only.

Gamestop will be able to process and ship your order usually within 48 hours. Once Gamestop has shipping your order, it is up to the carrier to deliver your order. How long the shipping takes solely relies on the shipping carrier used for your order.
Gamestop now also offers same day delivery for eligible items. You will need to make sure your item is eligible for this shipping option, and then make sure to choose it during checkout.
Why Does My Order Still Say Processing?
An order that is stuck as processing can either mean that your order did not go through (payment method), the system is extremely backed up, or your order is really still processing.
If this takes longer than 48 hours, then contacting Gamestop’s customer support directly is the best solution to see why your order may still be processing.
How Accurate Is Gamestop Estimated Delivery?
Gamestop’s estimated delivery date is fairly accurate. The estimated delivery date takes into account how long it takes for Gametop to process/ship your order as well as an estimated time that it will take the shipping provider to deliver your order.
At the end of the day, the estimated delivery is just an estimation. It is possible that your order can be backed up on Gamestops end as well as well as at the shipping carriers end. This can usually happen on holidays or other busy times when there are sales or deals happening.
Weather altercations can also cause shipping delays in certain areas where there is heavy rain or snow. If delays were to happen with your order, your tracking information should be able to tell you if your order is going to arrive on time or if it is going to be delayed/late.
