General
Question: What is Hastings / GoHastings.Com?
Answer:
Founded in 1968, Hastings Entertainment, Inc. is a leading multimedia entertainment retailer that combines the sale of new and used books, videos, video games and CDs, and trends and consumer electronics merchandise, with the rental of videos and video games in a superstore format. Currently there are 146 superstores. Hastings also operates www.goHastings.com, an e-commerce Internet Web site that makes available to customers new and used entertainment products and unique, contemporary gifts and toys.

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.

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
  • Nebraska
  • Nevada

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.

they sent me emails before with which items were sent like in each group, but I think they somehow erased themselves because when I check my email now the only hastings emails I have are ones stating thank you for your order and its a whole order confirmation. Ill have to eye it out again They are all dvds/blu rays.
 
God dammit. Got an error on the place order page. Now I dont know if it went through or not.

"Sorry! We're Working on This Page.
We're sorry. An error has occurred when attempting to process your request. Please go back and try your request again, or return at a later time."

Ive placed 2 orders now and the first I thought went through fine but I received no email. Can't check my credit card either because the cc site is down. Christ.

Edit: Well I placed the second order again now both of my orders are showing up if I check my orders under my account. So hopefully good to go.

Got:
Youth In Revolt
American Gangster
The Strangers
Reservoir Dogs
Good Luck Chuck
The Uninvited
Secret Window
Full Metal Jacket
Invincible
The Silence Of The Lambs
I Am Legend
The Girl Next Door
The Departed

All for 54.xx

The completed orders sometimes are actually canceled order notices, because Hastings has a small glitch on their website that doesn't tell you if parts of your orders are canceled until the order has been completed.

Usually when your order has been shipped, the tracking number will be included, so if you didn't see any tracking number included in your email from Hasting for the completed order, make sure to see if it's listed as "Canceled" in the order or if it actually says "Shipped". "Completed Order" does not automatically mean it has shipped. Best way to do it too is to check on the website to check your order manually from there, and it'll tell you what's shipped and what's not.

I've done this. Only like 3 items were cancelled, and I wasn't including those. Everything else says it has shipped. I even went through the hassle of ordering my canceled dvds off srcondspin for like double price just so I could have complete series.....well some good that did. I'm still missing volumes and seasons of series I ordered because I haven't received everything from Hastings. If there was a mailing error hopefully they can just resend it. And I can't find a shipping order number since my orders were broken down and shipped from multiple locations. I did email them yesterday so hoping they can sort this out.


Edit: figured out how to look up the shipping confirmations. Looks like the DVDs I still need were shipped in two orders. One says it arrived at my house on the 12th. The other says nothing of its location, just that electronic confirmation was received on the 5th. Ugggghh

Google the ISBN number that is on the description and you should be able to see what volume it is.

The track listing for that is Spanish (even on the English CD piece) on the GoHastings site. Thought it'd be worth the hilarity for less than $3 shipped, but...

You'll be fine, I've ordered books in the past that had different pictures than what they really should have been and was always sent what was described in the details section.

If you order a series of books and they ship from the same location you'll probably be alright. Otherwise all bets are off. Hastings employees seem to only check the SKU from the invoice against the product they grab on the shelf about half the time. The other half is "Same title? Close enough." and ship it off to you.
 
So, like a few others here, the GoHastings site won't take my card for some reason. For those who have had issues, what did you do to resolve the problem? I've cleared the history and cookies but that didn't do anything.

when I has this problem, I used a different card afterwards. If that's not doable for you, dunno.

My last orders have arrived w/ all the proper versions of the BR & DVD movies (13 of them) except Ferris Bueller which I got the old DVD version and I sent them an email and they just told me to keep it and they refunded me the $2.XX that it cost me.

This past year between games and movies I have probably bought more than 50+ movies and games from them really easy w/ no real issues and great prices.

For the person that is having issues w/ their card you can also sent them a msj through CS and fb which is what I did when it happened to me a couple of months back and they fixed it the same day.
 
Finally got a Star Wars: Complete Saga for $45. Good deal IMO. worst case I sell on ebay in a few weeks after watching it all and still get my money back
 
[quote name='Squall835']So, like a few others here, the GoHastings site won't take my card for some reason. For those who have had issues, what did you do to resolve the problem? I've cleared the history and cookies but that didn't do anything.[/QUOTE]

I went back and forth with the GoHastings rep that frequents CAG for over a week without finding a concrete solution to this. Eventually, it just ended up working, but I still have the issue every now and then.

This is random, but it may be worth a try. I find that when the site gives me an error, I simply delete all the fields (name, credit card number, etc) and retype them. It works after that, for some reason.
 
Ugh...

I have a feeling by the time the shopping cart wants to accept my payment the prices on my items will have changed drastically.

Quite possibly. Looks like it's a good old fashioned race, once the damn site is taking orders.
 
Well, Dragon Age wasn't me. I dropped money on some various comic book HCs and TPBs. A whole shit ton popped up as in stock tonight so I'm almost expecting a lot of cancellations, as if they were false-positives or something. Including some I just bought at 30ish% off last week that I could have possibly got for a few bucks cheaper this week. But I left those alone for someone else to enjoy.

[quote name='GodOfUncharted']What browser are you using?[/QUOTE]

Firefox paying via credit card. Got an email confirmation immediately too.
 
Just got mine to go through using FireFox.

I just ordered Batman: The Court of Owls. I hope you weren't eyeing that.
 
Website just took my order.
Using Chrome.
Got Serenity blu
The walking dead hardcover 4 and 5. Hope they come in good shape

I saw that but that's one of the books I got last week for 30ish% off. What did you end up paying before shipping? Like $9ish? I already forgot what it was listed at tonight.

I also wasn't eying Blinddog's Walking Dead HCs. I'd rather get the absurdly expensive Omnibus editions for Walking Dead hardcovers.

It was $8.46 after shipping.
 
Anyone know of any good, decently priced comic hardcovers? It's a pain in the ass looking through pages and pages of stuff that isn't even in stock.
 
[quote name='GodOfUncharted']It was $8.46 after shipping.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I think I ended up paying $10.43 last week after shipping costs were spread out over that particular order. So you got it for a couple of bucks cheaper. The Batman: Prey TPB is the same situation. I paid just over $10 for it last week but it's $7.50+shipping at the moment.

The paperback omnibus? I dont think those are too bad price wise. Beats $20 a hc brand new per book.

I got the first 3 books and comiccon this year for $10 each, so i am building my collection.

I am eyeing the 2 kick-ass books right now. Pretty much anything i really want tho will never come in stock. Oh well. No more Whedons X-men or Punisher Max vol 4

You have to know exactly what you're looking for pretty much, then see if Hastings has a used listing for it, then watch that used listing for any stock/price changes. Plus it all depends on what your tastes and preferences are when it comes to comics, just like any book or form of entertainment.

That's a pretty good price for Kick Ass 2 since it's a fairly recent release. I probably would have bought it had I thought to look for it before, but now that I've placed my big order I don't want to spend 96 cents in shipping on just that one book.

I have the giant Walking Dead paperback compendium that I got from Hastings brand new for $6 or $7 during one of their glitches. But the Omnibuses I'm referring to are these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_%28comics%29#Omnibus_editions

I've only recently gotten into collecting TPB and hardcovers, so I'm pretty much looking for anything DC or Marvel to build up my collection. There's hardly ever any Batman hardcovers in stock, which sucks.

I was looking at Blackest Night earlier, but that's out of stock now. I just wish there was a way to filter your search to only search for hardcovers.
 
Oh my fucking christ, I can't believe how much of my wishlist just came in stock. Placed an absolutely massive order of incredibly unlikely shit that I half expect to get cancelled. It has to have been a fluke...I won't name any of it until I get shipping confirmations/cancellations for fear of risking the likelihood of fulfillment, though.

"Anything" DC or Marvel is still incredibly broad. And I'm not sure why you'd want to buy "anything" DC or Marvel. There are a lot of really poorly written comic books out there. But you can filter your search results to hardcover. Its in the top horizontal options where you can pick "Trade Cloth" which is hardcover.

That's pretty much exactly how I feel. My wallet will thank me though if they do cancel some stuff.

Holy hell, how have I never noticed that button before? I swear I've looked there before. And yeah, 'anything' is too broad. I did mention that I was looking for good and decently priced stuff beforehand though, so basically, just recommended DC and Marvel hardcovers.

A ton of my wishlist just came in stock too. Of course, right after I vow to stop spending so much money.
 
Yea i was shocked how much wishlist stuff came in stock.
Placed an order for
walking dead hardcover book 6 (i missed some how)
Kick-ass 1 and 2
and Captain America: Two Americas

If anything gets canceled, oh well. money saved.
