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.
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.

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.
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
  • Nebraska
  • Nevada
  • New Mexico
  • Oklahoma
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Utah
  • Washington
  • Wyoming

Question: Where are Hastings brick and mortar retail stores located?
Answer:
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.

How's the condition of games that come from gohastings? Half the games I chose did go down to $5 while the other half actually went up. I probably wouldn't care about the condition if I got the pricier ones as well.
 
Gohastings just played a huge prank on all of the video game resellers who were sitting, white-knuckled, at their keyboards, hitting refresh every 10 seconds, hoping to score that copy of hack quarantine for 5 dollars.

Unfortunately, they also screwed all of the innocent gamers who wanted some cheap ps2 games for their collections.

Collateral damage. :(
 
How quickly people forget. Most of these $5 we're $1-2 just a few months ago before GH raised the prices to a $4.99 minimum. Nice try GH.
 
So I see a lot of angry CAGs on here... guess I can see why, it seems like only the common fodder is $5. Seems kinda strange to say "all" PS2 games but then only put the ones that can be easily found as $5.:lol:
 
[quote name='V3rtigo']How quickly people forget. Most of these $5 we're $1-2 just a few months ago before GH raised the prices to a $4.99 minimum. Nice try GH.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that really pissed me off, especially when a majority of them could be found at Gamestop sub-$5.
 
[quote name='dfg']I had no idea so many people were still interested in PS2 games... wait, did anyone plan on playing any of them or just looking for flips?[/QUOTE]
I love PS2-era RPGs. Any time I have a chance to pick up rarer ones on the cheap I'm going to be interested. Especially on things like the last .hack game since I'd want to make sure I had all 4 before I started playing them. Heck, I still buy and play PS1-era RPGs like Lunar, Persona, and Arc the Lad. :lol:
 
It looks like this clearance is a bad... and by "all" PS2 games, they only meant "all" the PS2 games in the link.
 
What a s***ty deal. Glad I just got drunk instead of waiting around. Nothing I wanted went down. Gohastings sucks.
 
:lol: The amount of outrage over GoHastings not wanting to sell their 'zomg rarez' games for $5 each in this thread is as funny as people having a coronary over the usual $2.28 per item shipping cost.

While I can understand that the banner may have said ALL PS2 games, their intent was clearly all PS2 games within a select group of titles.

There are actually quite a few decent ones in there(a couple of the MGS games, original Mercenaries, a buncha others) and some passable titles that are well worth $5($8 something each after tax/shipping).
 
Here is the banner from the weekly email:

email_template_01082012_Weekly_Sub2.jpg


Still says "All."

I do sympathize with CAGs who want the 200+ games they didn't discount, and for the third time, email them or take it to their Facebook wall to complain. Public shaming on Facebook will get a response out of them.

If they didn't intend for it to be "All" they needed to say "Select" or "All... Some exceptions apply."

Also, their price raising on some of these games was absurd. Like sports titles going from $1.99 to $4.99. But lets be honest, no one was trying to buy those games anyway. If you were serious about buying a used PS2 game that was already only a few bucks, the best time/deal to pick it up with was during one of the free shipping or even 96 cent shipping deals.
 
I've never ordered games from gohastings, but I've ordered music... I usually try to order directly from amazon and get their AZ guarantee... dealing with gohastings directly in terms of customer service has been a bit of a hassle.

Also, their "all used CDs on sale" is always annoying not "all" but only the ones you see when you click on the banner or link which is a pretty bad way to do business IMO.
 
[quote name='Kaiser499']Damnit, Wild Arms 5 & Alter Code F are out of stock, really wanted those to finish my collection.[/QUOTE]

Which goes to show why they probably didn't drop the price on all the games... there are people who are actually paying their ridiculous standard prices. Hell, their prices used to be equal to eBay's but now they're 25-50% higher than eBay's.
 
I noticed that radiata story was $8 yesterday before the sale. I went back today to buy it anyways w/o the sale but now its $10.. duh fk.
 
[quote name='dfg']I had no idea so many people were still interested in PS2 games... wait, did anyone plan on playing any of them or just looking for flips?[/QUOTE]
Eh, I've been trying to get a copy of Persona 3 for cheap since the end of 07. Started playing it and then loaned a copy to a coworker in Korea and came back to the states before he could give it back. I've still got the art book and everything, I just need the disc.

But it's $20 with Hastings and that is more that I can afford to spend on it.
 
In non used PS2 news, Hastings has some great prices on 2012 calendars if anyone is looking for any. They seem to be 50% off with another 40% off that price using code NEWYEAR, plus free shipping.

There's also a handful of small LEGO sets for cheap prices. Their shipping prices for "trends" is different than shipping for games/music/movies and was cheaper per item for LEGOs than $2.28. And the shipping went down even further when I bought an unrelated "trend" item. So I don't know how they do their math, but I'll take it.

Now just see if all this stuff ships and what condition it arrives in. Wishful thinking but would be nice if all original cover art etc.

[quote name='grimhope']Still see disgaea 2, Baldur's gate 2, Grandia II and extreme available.[/QUOTE]
 
[quote name='Madrocsz']Grabbed silent hill 2-4, drakengard 2, MGS collection, digital devil saga collection (already have this one, but friend will flip out), MVC2 and for kicks Playboy the mansion.

Edit - Went back and checked, had DOThack 4 Quarantine back in stock , probably best steal for the 5$ price.[/QUOTE]

Damn definitely a steal. I guess I was a little too late.
 
What a crock of shit, every time i try to be a 1st time Hastings customer they find new ways to commit epic fail. Now they decide to drop prices on all games damn near a day later when at first they made it seem like only a select few games would be on sale. Now not a damn thing is in stock, even though i have all the rare shit, just wanted to finish the collection off with disgaea 2 and thats bout it and maybe suikoden 5 so fuck you to whoever got that ahead of me :lol: lol.
 
Ugh. I've been dying to get Dark Cloud 2. I almost purchased it but I know I won't play it. I think I'll wait for perhaps an HD remake of it. With all the people demanding DC3, I'm sure it'll happen. x.x
 
What I am up to

Medal of Honor Collection
.hack//G.U.: Vol. 2 -- Reminisce
.hack//QUARANTINE
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II
Drakengard 2
Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
Playboy: The Mansion
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Silent Hill 2

Have a ton of orders as stuff keeps popping in and out of stock, assuming this all goes through this finishes my ps2 collection, woot
 
Congrats to any who got dark cloud 2 really is a great game you will enjoy it.

Feel sorry for those who got the Dot.Hack games though but hey i guess when push comes to shove they can at least get a profit out of them.

Not much in stock anymore. I got the following...


King's Field: The Ancient City
Dokapon Kingdom
Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir
Silent Hill Origins
Dance Dance Revolution X2

Probably resell DDR X2 to cover the cost of this stuff since it fetches a decent amount.
 
Congrats to everyone that got something good from this! (especially grimhope; if even half of those ship... :drool:) I really wish I would've decided to check on this situation an two hours ago instead of now. Could've snagged God Hand to almost complete my collection!
 
My Dark Cloud 2 was cancelled. Lame. It was still in stock for an hour after I ordered it (I ordered almost right when the prices changed). I am pretty disappointed. That was a killer deal. I have been looking for DC2 for a good price for a few years now.
 
This is bizarre. First it was "All" used PS2 games. Then they decided its only select titles going as far as to change the promotion image and information. Then randomly on a Tuesday they change it back to all? Christ. They certainly aren't making any friends on this website doing stuff like that.
 
I responded to other thread, but as mentioned of the 12 or so games I ordered only 2 actually are not cancelled.... yet. Keep in mind I jumped on this as soon as deal went live too

Fail to the max

You and a shit ton of other people too, probably. There's a ton of lurkers all over sites like this and SD. Not to mention that their stock was probably very limited to begin with. A few orders on all of these super rare PS2 games or whatever would wipe them out probably before their shitty system could adjust.
 
[quote name='myka22']Damn, I was totally trying to get that King's Field.[/QUOTE]

I was actually surprised it lasted so long. There were some rarer more expensive titles that were still available for awhile, like King's Field, DDRX2, P.T.O IV. People must not realize their value since Gamestop sells them for 4-5 bucks.
