Game / Item Condition
Question: What is the difference between "used" and "previously viewed" items on GoHastings.Com?
Answer:
"Used" games and movies are items that have been traded in to a Hastings retail location by a customer. "Previously viewed" games and movies are items that Hastings has rented out to customers at their retail locations but are now selling to the public.

When it comes to video games, most CAGs report no real difference between the two other than some ancillary stickers, but both "used" and "previously viewed" games are subject to being scratched, abused, or incomplete depending how well it was previously taken care of.

When it comes to movies, the "Previously Viewed" rental versions often lack features from the full retail versions and may come in different boxes, have different UPCs, have white barcode stickers around the center ring of the disc, etc.

You may encounter a situation where a customer has purchased a "previously used" item from Hastings, then traded it back into Hastings, thus making it a "used" item. This practiced is frowned upon by most customers, but Hastings has shown next to no incentive to change it. It mostly happens with movies.

Question: Do used and previously viewed video games come complete with the original case and manual?
Answer:
GoHastings.Com states as follows:

Due to the nature of used products; booklet inserts, digital movie downloads and manuals are not guaranteed in our used video games, movies and CDs.
Click to expand...
However, the vast majority of CAGs have reported that a large majority of their games do arrive complete. Incomplete games are more of an exception rather than the rule.

Question: Are used collector's editions and limited editions of games guaranteed to come with extras like bonus discs, statutes, and other items?
Answer:
No. Hopefully the used CE and LE games would at least come with all of the discs, but this is not guaranteed. And there is absolutely no guarantee other physical items or "swag" will be included for these used copies. However, CAGs have reported that they have purchased used CE and LE games and received all of the extras. If you order a used CE or LE and it does not come with the extras, just contact customer service and ask about a return/refund.

Question: What condition do "used" and "previously viewed" discs come in?
Answer:
Mosts CAGs seem to get games in good, playable condition if not better. However, there have been cases of receiving a game so scratched up that it would not load/play. These games can be returned to GoHastings.Com at no cost to the customer for a full refund.

NEW!
Question: Are New condition games factory sealed or gutted and re-sealed?
Answer:
As of mid-2013, Hastings retail stores have adopted a policy of gutting games then storing the game discs, manuals and DLC papers separately. This is so they do not have to lock up games or put security cases on games yet still allow the customer to physically handle the boxes in-store. When a new game is sold, Hasting will either re-seal the game or they will place the game in a bag that cannot be opened if you want to return the game as new.

Shipping
Question: Why are my items shipping individually? Why does GoHastings.Com include a shipping charge for each individual item ordered?
Answer:
Hastings does not have warehouses for fulfilling internet orders. All items are shipped from individual brick and mortar retail stores. If your order contains multiple items, your order may ship from multiple locations at different times if one location does not have all of the items you ordered. Because items could ship from more than one location, GoHastings.Com charges a per item shipping fee. Yes this can be frustrating, so its best to either get over it if you intend to shop at GoHastings.Com, or if you can't get over it, shop elsewhere. Like all "deals," include the shipping price per item into consideration for the total cost of the game being purchased.

UPDATED!
Question: How much is shipping per item?
Answer:
Video Games and PC software ship for $2.28 per item.

CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays ship for $1.29 per item.

Books have a per-order charge of $3.00 plus $0.99 shipping per book ordered.

Game Hardware, Electronics and Trends have a per-order charge of $1.99 plus $0.10 shipping per ounce for each item ordered.

Full shipping information, including expedited shipping prices, can be found HERE.

Occasionally, GoHastings.Com offers free or reduced shipping promotions.

Please note, books used to ship for $0.96 per order with no per item charge but Hastings discontinued that pricing scheme as of January 10, 2014. CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays used to ship for $0.96 per item, but Hastings raised that price to the current cost as of approximately May 25, 2014.

Question: How long does it take GoHastings.Com to ship my order?
Answer:
Standard Shipping:
Order processed within 48 Hours
Shipping time is 3-10 Days

Priority / Expedited Mail:
Order processed within 48 Hours
Shipping time is 2 - 3 Days

Question: What service does GoHastings.Com use to ship items?
Answer:
GoHastings.Com primarily ships items using the United States Postal Service (USPS). Video games ship via USPS First Class Mail. Books, movies and music ship via USPS Media Mail. Larger orders may ship via UPS.

Question: Will GoHastings.Com give me a tracking number for each shipment?
Answer:
Every shipment usually has a tracking number associated with it. If you did not see a tracking number in the shipping confirmation email, check your order history on GoHastings.Com.

Question: What will GoHastings.Com ship my items in?
Answer:
It will vary. Hastings might use a yellow paper mailer with bubble padding on the inside. They might use a white plastic envelope with bubble padding on the inside. They might use a stiffer paper/lighter cardboard envelope with no padding. Hastings will try to jam as many items into any of the above envelope options as possible, resulting in frequently damaged books, broken game/movie/CD cases, etc. On rare occasions, someone at Hastings will have the common sense to put larger or heavier items into a box for safer shipping, but even then they will neglect to use padding. Hastings used to ship items in a white plastic poly-bag with absolutely no padding or protection, but after numerous complaints, the company claims these are supposed to be phased out and no longer in use. They still pop up from time to time.

Order Cancellations / Out Of Stock Items
Question: Why was an item cancelled out of my order? Why is that item back in stock right now?
Answer:
GoHastings.Com fills their stock from their Hastings brick and mortar retail locations. Additionally, GoHastings.Com sells items on Amazon and eBay. Their online inventory system is antiquated and does not update stock instantaneously across physical store locations, GoHastings.Com, Amazon, and eBay. Therefore if someone bought the same item first in store/on Amazon/on eBay, their order will be fulfilled first and your item will be cancelled if there is not enough inventory to go around, even though you thought the item was in stock. Yes this sucks, but now you know about it so you can simply choose not to shop at GoHastings in the future if you can't deal with it. No need to endlessly complain about it in posts. Consider writing a letter to the president of Hastings, whose contact info can be found below this FAQ.

Because Hastings' physical store locations accept trade-ins for the used items that they sell, an item that was out of stock may quickly come back into stock if someone trades in the same item, or if someone returns the same item. However, as stated above, GoHastings.Com has an antiquated online system, and they will not be able to fulfill any items on your order once they have been canceled. You will have to re-order the item, at which time the promotion you initially ordered under may have expired. You can try to contact customer service to see if they will create a new order for you with the price point your originally ordered under.

Question: I just ordered something and now it shows as out of stock, either on my order history page or on the item's page. Will my order be canceled?
Answer:
Probably not, but it is still possible. GoHastings.Com updates its inventory count immediately when sales from the website are made. Therefore if they had one item, and you ordered it, it will now show up as out of stock on GoHastings.Com. However, if someone ordered it off Hastings' eBay or Amazon Marketplace listings first, they may fulfill that order first and cancel your order. Also, if someone walks into the store and purchases the item before it is pulled to ship to you, your order will be canceled. Additionally, store employees may not be able to locate the item and thus cancel your order for that reason. Hastings also has a problem on their website where items in your order history show as out of stock, sometimes regardless of the actual stock. Your best bet is to take a deep breath and not worry about it.

Sale Pricing
NEW!
Question: How can I tell if one promotion or discount is better than a different commonly offered promotion or discount?
Answer:
The following guides are only for video games since they take into consideration the $2.28 per game shipping price. You will have to do your own math for music/movies, books, trends/electronics and other shipping sales.

Remember, stock and prices fluctuate constantly and may not be the same by the next sale.

The math in the Buy 2 Get 1 For $1 deal assumes you choose three equally priced games to maximize your potential savings.

Free Shipping:
Vs. 96¢ Per Item Shipping: Use free shipping, obviously
Vs. 20% Off: Use free shipping with items $11.40 and less
Vs. 25% Off: Use free shipping with items $9.12 and less
Vs. Buy 2 Used Games, Get 1 For $1: Use free shipping with items $7.84 and less

Vs. 33% Off: Use free shipping with items $6.91 and less
Vs. 40% Off: Use free shipping with items $5.70 and less

96 Cent Shipping:

Vs. Buy 2 Used Games, Get 1 For $1: Use 96¢ shipping with items $4.96 and less

Vs. 33% Off: Use 96¢ shipping with items $4.00 and less
Vs. 40% Off: Use 96¢ shipping with items $3.30 and less

20% Off:

Question: GoHastings.Com totally raised their prices prior to the sale! OMGWTFBBQSauce! Should I call the police / attorney general / president of the United States?
Answer:
GoHastings.Com claims to not raise their prices prior to sales. Their pricing is based on algorithms that consider things like supply, demand, competitor pricing, market rates, etc. If a game was $10 before the sale and $15 24 hours into the sale, chances are there were only a couple of copies of the game and someone bought one when the sale started, thus affecting the supply and demand. You are not the only one monitoring a Wish List on GoHastings.Com. However, there have been some clearly documented instances of raising prices right before a sale, especially with books rather than games.

Promotional Deal Codes
Question: Why is the promotional code not applying to my order?
Answer:
Certain M-rated games carry the disclaimer that "This item is only available for purchase by customers age 17 and older." If you have such a game in your cart, be sure to check the box by the "Check Out" button that says "I am at least 17 years of age" before clicking the "Apply Promotion Code" button to apply the promotional code.

Additionally, some promotional codes only apply to select qualifying titles. Be sure that your order only contains such titles. Occasionally the GoHastings.Com programmers miss something and games that are supposed to qualify do not work with the promotional code. If this is the case, please contact GoHastings.Com. Contact information can be found below this FAQ.

Question: Can I use more than one promotional code at the same time? Can I stack promotional codes?
Answer:
No, you can only apply one promotional code per order. This prevents code stacking. If there are two promotional codes valid at the same time that you would like to use, you must place two or more separate orders.

Question: What time do promotions normally begin / end?
Answer:
GoHastings.Com operates based on the Central Time Zone. Weekly promotions usually start on Sunday and usually last the whole week. Various other promotions may have different start times and durations. Promotions usually begin at midnight Central time. However, sometimes the new promotions take a while to go "live" on the website, so always double check your order that the correct discounted price is shown.

Order Problems and Contacting Customer Service
(Including Returns/Replacements for Wrong Item or Damaged/Defective Item)
Question: I am trying to place an order and have entered my correct shipping address, billing address and credit card info. The check out page says there is a problem with my information and I need to correct it, but nothing is incorrect. What is going on?!
Answer:
This is a random error that seems to affect some people and not others. There is no known cause for it. People have reported it occurring with different credit card companies (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, etc.). Some people think it has to do with what web browser you use, so perhaps try a different one. Some people have reported they can't place orders from computers or IP numbers located out of the state where their billing or shipping address is located. The bottom line is there is no fix for this problem from the customer's end. Your only attempt to get it resolved will be to CALL Customer Service. Contact details for Customer Service can be found below this FAQ.

Question: GoHastings.Com sent me a defective game or the wrong game. How do I return it? Can they send me a replacement/correct item?
Answer:
Contact customer service to initiate the return process. Customer service contact information is located in this post, below the FAQ. GoHastings.Com will not charge you to ship the game back, and they will give you a full refund, including what you paid initially for shipping. In some instances, they will simply refund the cost of the item and let you keep the defective or wrong item for free. GoHastings.Com will not normally send you a replacement item if you received a defective or incorrect item. They will usually tell you that you must place a new order, at which time the promotion you initially ordered under may have expired. You can try to contact customer service to see if they will create a new order for you with the price point you originally ordered under.

Question: Something went wrong with my order. How do I contact customer service?
Answer:
Customer service contact information is located in this post, below the FAQ.

Question: Should I call or email customer service?
Answer:
CAGs have reported mixed experiences with both calling and emailing Hastings Customer Service. It is up to your preference. If you are contacting them regarding credit card issues, it may be best to call rather than put highly sensitive information in an email. If you call during business hours, your issue may be resolved right then over the phone. You might also have to wait on hold for a long period of time during peak hours. If you email, you may have to wait up to 48 hours to get a response, especially if you email over the weekend. Often the email replies fail to understand your entire issue with your order. Customer Service contact information is located in this post, below the FAQ.

Question: What is GoHastings.Com return policy?
Answer:
The GoHastings.Com website states their return policy is as follows:

All items purchased through gohastings.com may be returned for a full refund of the purchase price, if they meet the following criteria:

  • All new items are in original unopened packaging.
  • Return of product is within 30 days of shipping date.
  • Returned product(s) must be in the original packaging and include any manuals, cabling and accessories in saleable condition.
  • Video Game Systems that are found defective within the 30 day window must make a return using the manufacturer's warranty.
Shipping and handling charges are not refundable.
Note: Products purchased through goHastings.com may not be returned to a physical store location for refund.
Click to expand...
However, this can be confusing considering used items, such as games, come in opened packaging. Normally GoHastings has no problem with returns for defective or incorrect used game shipments that are promptly requested. At the very least, if a game item was found to be defective within 30 days of the shipping date, you would have a good argument toward customer service that you should be able to return the game item. Abusing the return policy to replace your own broken items with items from GoHastings inventory wouldn't be a good idea.

Miscellaneous
Question: Does GoHastings.Com collect sales tax?
Answer:
According to GoHastings.Com:

Currently goHastings.com only charges sales tax in states where we have a physical presence. Sales taxes are calculated during the ordering process and will show tax charged for the delivery destination, based on current tax rates. Shipping charges may also be subject to tax in certain states.
Currently sales tax is automatically applied in the following states:

  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Arizona
  • Colorado
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Idaho
  • Indiana
  • Kansas
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Missouri
  • Montana

Question: Where are Hastings brick and mortar retail stores located?
Answer:
Click here to find the location nearest you.

Question: Are the online prices the same in store? Are the online specials valid in store?
Answer:
Generally speaking, no. For used items and for some new items, GoHastings.Com uses algorithms where prices can change multiple times in one day. Hastings retail locations have their own set prices. See your local store for more information. Additionally, online special sales and promotions are not valid in store. Sometimes Hastings runs the same pricing online and in store for certain items.

Question: Are the brick and mortar retail location advertisements valid online?
Answer:
Generally the prices in the retail location advertisements are not valid on GoHastings.Com. Sometimes Hastings runs the same pricing online and in store for certain items.

I really shouldn't be on CAG as I have done too much damage, but you know what they say "If there is still room for damage to be done then what are you waiting for?" People say that, right? Right?
 
[quote name='Ashlee']My 9 games shipped today! I'm happy to know that they did not get cancelled. Just in case you want to know which games I bought, I bought:

First order:
Final Fantasy XIII
Uncharted 1
Uncharted 2 (for $1)

Second order:
The Saboteur
Bulletstorm
Motorstorm (for $1)

Third order:
Uncharted 3 (I hope it has an unused online pass code!)
Red Dead Redemption
GOW III (for $1)

I read that many people who buy from goHastings get another product that they did not order or that they get very scratched CD's. Also I read that goHastings just give refunds but they don't give another copy of the game.
What happens then if I need to return one of the games that I bought during the B2G1 for $1 promotion? If I return the $1 they will refund me $1? or they will mess that up, charge me $7 (what the game cost), then refund me $1? Also, if the CD's are very scratched, but they work, Will it damage my PS3? I'm worry about it because I heard that when a CD is scratched, the console will try to read the disc many times which causes laser lens damage.

Thank you guys, and thank you for letting me know about this site too, I hope someone can answer my questions,

Ashlee.[/QUOTE]


Well, some people do get wrong items/unplayable/damaged but it is a very small percentage IMO compared to what they ship. If the $1 item is damaged it will be difficult since they will likely only refund you what you paid ($1) so I would make sure to talk to customer service and ask them for a credit when you reorder so you can reorder for the same price. They should do that in the situation.

As for the scratched discs, it depends on how scratched it is. The more damaged a disc is the harder it will to read and the more stress it will put on the machine. Sometimes PS3s shake when they are having a hard time reading discs so if that happens you might want to refund/reorder. Of course PS3s are pretty crappy overall. My first one shook/vibrated on every disc so I exchanged it. A year later and the exchanged one started doing it... on a brand new DVD. Good thing I sprung for an extended warranty.
 
Thank you cheapy fox, I will ask for a refund if that happens to my PS3. I usually play with the AC on (It is still hot here in CA), so I only hear the PS3 noices when the AC is off, thanks for the answer.

By the way I got an email from goHastings that says that there will be free shipping tomorrow ONLY on items in clearance. Not a very good offer I think :/
 
I'm so thankful I don't care about Marvel events, because getting all of these fucking Crises (pluralized on purpose) and Blackest Night books is becoming completely ridiculous.

Since shipping always kills deals at GoHastings for me it is somewhat of a good deal.

I picked up Space Bust-A-Move DS for $3.99 and Blur PS3 for $7.99. MGS Peace Walker PSP at $2.98 was sold out though... And there are some good prices on the PS3 Move titles ($5.99 for at least 3 of them). Too bad I bought those when they first came out for much more #-o.
 
Oops I meant that the COLUMBUS code will be available only today Monday (It is still Sunday in my head) haha, sorry :3 and yes it is actually good to use that code considering that the shipping price is a little more than $2 PER game :S

I recommend buying as of now if you want the free shipping because stuff tend to be out of Stock kind of fast.

That was the exact path I took. I was able to get most of the events for DC, but Brightest Day took weirdly long. The slippery slope is when you start picking up some of the lead-in books, and then you start wondering if "New 52" counts as an event and you need to get all of them... One day you wake up with a Mister Teriffic: Mind Games waiting on your front porch, and you realize you have taken things way too far.

Peace Walker has been that price for months and I've never seen it in stock. It's never been on my wishlist, though, so it might have come in stock intermittently over that time period. But definitely wasn't in stock for this sale.
 
fucking hate the website. It won't let met place my order at the end. Some bullshit about the Red Stuff being wrong, but nothings red!!!!
 
[quote name='kouleefoh']Got Blur for $8. Been waiting for that bad boy to drop below $10 used to try it out.[/QUOTE]

That's actually an awesome game, possibly my favorite racer of this generation. If they had it at that price for 360 I'd probably get it to replay it for the achievements.
 
Anyone having trouble after clicking on the "Place Order" button using Chrome? I always get an error message stating I should try making the order again. After a few minutes of that, I switched to IE and it worked fine.

The post doesn't give any specifics of what the deal is gonna be. How did you get to 40%off?
 
[quote name='Ashlee']The 40% off you mean? Well I'm confused cause it is the first time that I have bought in this site, so I don't know if that would be every thing 40% or just used stuff, etc. I hope someone can clear the 250k likes stuff.

Cheers![/QUOTE]

I'm just guessing we'll get a 40% off sale. If you would've read his post entirely, it said that at 250K likes, we'll get a special sale. Nobody knows anymore details than that.

And new stuff never gets discounted. The only sale we get on new stuff is something like the current free shipping on clearance sale. Otherwise, all used all the time.

I said I was 'guessing'. Jesus.

someone mentioned it as a possibility
 
Whatever the sale will be I already have $800 worth of stuff in my cart ready to go.

Now to see what will still be there when the sale actually starts. ~_~

That's a lot of money, and yes a lot of stuff is OOS. Maybe he is buying new stuff mainly?
But still, Why choose goHastings to spend so much money when you can buy new stuff at sites like Amazon where warranty is nicer? In my opinion of course.

He said he's preparing for the sale and Hastings never discounts new stuff, so I'm positive he has a cart full of used anime.

Oh ok got it. I believe goHastings is a good site to buy anime. I don't buy anime though, but I know it is kind of hard to find cheap anime stuff at stores or online. Let's hope it is a good promotion, I already liked the facebook page! :)
 
Who needs a warranty on used movies or videogames?

With Hastings, if something doesn't work, you contact CS and return the product on their dime (they email you a prepaid label).

Quite easy as to why:

Used stuff is either the same price or cheaper on Gohastings vs. Amazon, shipping is cheaper, and if you add a 40% discount with free shipping on Gohastings you are practically paying half price :)

And GH refund/return policy is almost just as good as Amazon.

True. Many games like Bulletstorm cost about $7 with shipping. On Amazon I saw it used once for $11, plus shipping if you are not a prime member, plus taxes. I was amazed when I knew that goHasting does not charge taxes in this state (CA). Good for one side, but the other side tells me that I would love much more to have a goHastings store near my house instead of a Gamestop ):

Does anyone know if more stores are being stablished in the US? or just the ones available right now are the ones that there will always be?

Also I want to know what that guy is spending $800 on, please tell us we don't want to guess ):
 
Lol, it might be possible that they can establish more stores. Most of their stores are to the East but why would you want to have them here in Cali, I love not paying that additional sales tax, thats why i don't purchase from amazon anymore.

They are based in the midwest, but they do have some stores in Washington and near CA, just not in CA. In Texas they had plenty of stores, but I never heard of them opening any new ones during the time I was there. All the stores were near, but not in, cities. Kind of funny.

So I can go inside the store and have stuff instantly :3 but you are right paying tax is not so good some times, specially if I want to save some money. And Squarehead please tell us what you will buy mostly with those $800! If it is p0rn then just dont say it (joking).

By the way just 1,093 likes for goHastings to get 250k likes! Go like them on facebook!!! :)

I don't think anyone can say they never have sales on new stuff, when the current promotion (5 off 25, 10 off 40) clearly covers that. And a week or 2 ago they had 25% off all Dr Who stuff in trands.
I think it is pretty safe to say we have no idea what the promotion is going to be.
