A word of caution if buying from Funstock digital (Choo Choo also)

I now have a refund in Paypal and also for context I only bought the game once and received the original code from Funstock plus a replacement that were both dups but received my refund.

That's weird. I bought from them several times with no issues.

Lately all my duplicate key problems have come from Greenmangaming. They probably have some glitches in their key system, because I've bought quite a bit from funstock and had no issues with their support or keys. It happens everywhere except on steam directly.

Never had a issue there, but had issues with for e.g. humble bundle....which were also resolved. Shit happens...and es we know even in the steam-store itself (different problems of course). Conclusion: Don't buy at all :P

Every other bundle I buy from Indiegala contains a duplicate key with one of the games, but at least Support is nice enough to issue another key~

Hope you get it resolved! <3

Good luck with the third key :S

Honestly at this point you should void them altogether . They've had serious issues with the last few big releases. Not to mention al the site downtime as well.

Well this is where the proverbial rubber meets the road. If they're a legitimate retailer then you should just repeatedly contact support until they make it right, all for free. Charging for that kind of consumer protection is the realm of the grey market.

Bought 2 games last week without any problem.

Not bought a lot from there but never had a problem so far. Migh be just be one bad batch of keys for that one particular game?

Only ever had a problem with 1 key from what must be 4000+ either gifted, traded or activated from different places and that came from an Indie Gala bundle. On a hunch I managed to solve that myself by changing either a 0 to a o or a 1 to a l (can't remember which) and it worked. Somebody somehwere had typed it in incorrectly & it wasn't me as I copy/pasted directly from the IG page.

Thanks for the train!

Oh wow...I've actually bought from them before (Mad Max twice). Both giveaways were good keys (or at least the winners didn't complain!).
Believe it or not, as I read your thread I had something in my cart from Funstock. Now I have to decide whether or not to click "Continue to Secure Checkout."

That's odd.

I bought Mad Max there a while ago after asking users from SG if it's a reputable place. The answer came back yes, that they're authorized sellers, so I went ahead with it. It was noted as the base game, but it activated as a pre-order copy (no complaints here).

I bought Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition (the same you mentioned) as well as This War of Mine there last weekend. My order was processed and immediately approved, but they only gave me a key for Batman and nothing for This War. Batman activated flawlessly, but it took 2 days for their support to get me a key for This War (which also activated flawlessly).

My best advice: just be polite to their customer service and they should take good care of you. :)

last week i made a GA with a key from fd without any problems. tonight im doing another one and tomorrow night we'll see the result, i hope it works :)

I've bought from them and activated keys without any issues. However they do have an unwritten rule that they will not sell more than two keys for the same game to any account holder. Their shopping cart controls don't properly implement this invisible limit, so if you do manage to purchase more than two copies they will block your IP. Their support cleared up the problem but warned me against doing so again in the future as it violates their agreement with publishers.

Bought Fallout 4 pre-order from them, first I was told that I'd get the game the 6th, when you were supposed to be able to start pre-loading it, then they changed the date to the 9th, the day before the release. But the 9th their whole site went down the whole day and wasn't up again until long after the release, ending up with me getting the cd key from an email a couple of hours after the release (after a couple of angry complaints sent to them, a friend who didn't complain on email got it a day later when their site was up temporarily again). So yes, I've bought from them and no I'll never do it again, sorry to hear about you also having problems with them though!

All legit Steam key sellers have this problem; lately it's been a somewhat common complaint about Humble Bundle.
The more common issue with FunStock seems to be that their "Other DRM" and "Steam" badge is probably a little too similar, so people buy a game expecting a Steam code, but get a standalone version instead.

I had a completely invalid key from FunStock a while back (must have been mistyped into their DB) - support completely ignored my requests for a replacement which meant I had to progress down the Paypal refund route. In the end I did get refunded, not just for the invalid key but the whole order, despite only requesting a partial refund. I will not order from Funstock again, which is a shame as their prices are sometimes competitive.

I know it's not digital, but I did buy two copies of a physical game off them a while back and they were onto me straight away asking if ordered two by mistake and that they would reverse the transaction if I had only meant to order one.

As it happens I was buying two, but I thought that was pretty sound of them. Sad to hear things haven't been as positive for others.
