I'll start from the beginning.
I saw a listing for a PlayStation VR AIM controller and Firewall game for $62.00 from the site. I was excited and immediately made my purchase. After that I received several emails confirming the order and saying I would receive shipping information in the near future. I checked my bank account transactions and saw that exactly $62.00 had been taken out. This is where the first suspicion came to play, as the purchase went to some Vietnamese name, and not Gohatoys, as I had expected.
So, sketchy as that was, I carried on hoping my purchase was legit. A day or two goes by and I still have not received any shipping information. I go back to the website and attempt to contact their support at the emails listed, and sure enough the email addresses don't actually exist. Strike #2. I'm now looking up the website to see if others have had issues with it being a scam and, like everyone else I've seen leaving a review here, the conclusion was a resounding yes. And it didn't help that later that day the website got shut down.
So I go to my bank to contest the charge and they inform me I have to fill out a form online for that. In the time it took me to go home from the bank I received an email with the shipping information, sent from the same Vietnamese name that my money went to. At this point, I'm willing to ride this through to the end. Even if it is a scam, it's so elaborate that I'm willing to give it my patience. The delivery was scheduled for that Saturday, and I was prepared to receive a box full of rocks or dead animals.
Friday comes and I stop by my apartment office to check to see if any packages arrived for me. To my surprise, a large box from a Best Buy in Kentucky was there for me. Over the course of Black Friday I made no purchases from Best Buy, so I was confused. Regardless I took it home and opened it up, and wouldn't you know it was the PlayStation VR AIM controller and Firewall game, brand new and ready to go. Keep in mind, the Gohatoys website was listed as being in CALIFORNIA, my shipping information stated the package was coming from VIRGINIA, and the package actually came from a BEST BUY in KENTUCKY.
My mind is blown. Through thick and thin, this company pulled through for me. I feel that all my bad luck over the course of my life has led to this small beacon of karma coming to bless me with this purchase. So many signs pointed to it being a scam, yet here I am; with the items I paid for and a smile on my face. I feel sorry for everyone who wasn't as lucky as I was, I truly can't explain what made my experience different from yours other than I was clearly better than you.
All of that being said, I'm only giving this 4-stars because there were no emails to contact when I had questions about the shipping. If it wasn't for that I'd give 5-stars. I got exactly what I paid for, paid less for it than I would at other sites, AND I got the package a whole day early.

Not sure what scam they are trying to pull here. Are they just hoping some people won't notice or bother to file a dispute? But then why go through the trouble and cost of shipping something out?

Ten days later they send an email saying the item was out of stock.
鈥淚TEM OUT OF STOCK – PLEASE MAKE A DISPUTE IN PAYPAL TO REFUND YOUR MONEY.鈥?br />
This is a total scam. It seems like they are doing this with multiple people.
