Now, I certainly do not know the complex mechanisms behind UbiSHop e-commerce, but I worked with databases and web-software in the past, and my experience tells me that it is not a too complex action to change a database record. So, if the customer service of UbiSoft can not do such a thing, it simply means they're are more interested in protecting the company rather than customers.
Some time ago I had a similar problem with the online shop of Origin (EA), regarding Battlefield 3, so I found myself contacting their customer service. First of all, I could call them by phone, talking to a sympathetic and helpful guy in the flesh, not with an operator hiding behind the fictitious name "qqfghhthh." Second, the problem was solved in a completely satisfactory way, allowing me to manage the money tied to the transaction in the way I preferred (refund, redirection to other products), with the only clause to decide by the 18:00 of next two days. I have even been made an offer for a new product a few more money than those I spent with a discount of 15%.
All trading moves, of course, aimed to make me buy something at the Origin store anyway (maybe even spending some € more than the budgeted), but done in a much more polite, correct, helpful and concrete way, respect to UbiSoft customer service.
So what? So thanks Origin, thanks EA and F**k O*f UbiSoft! You're just lucky I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed franchise, otherwise you would have just lost a customer, even if a corporation like you don't care less!!
