Recently, a fan shared their complaint about Walmart canceling their pre-order for the Starfield Constellation edition via a Reddit post. They shared, “Got an email, text, then a phone call from Walmart an hour ago. They told me my preorder was canceled on accident following a customer support call I had a few hours prior.” The fan complained about how at first the US retailer affirmed that the order would arrive but the order got canceled an hour later.

The fan contacted the US retailer back and after talking to multiple people, they got a definitive answer. Walmart informed the fan that the person who talked with the fan earlier about the order accidentally sent a cancel request for their order. Furthermore, there was no way to reprocess their order. This simple human mistake led to the fan losing out on the opportunity to play the game on day one.
