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

Vs. Buy 2 Used Games, Get 1 For $1: Use 96¢ shipping with items $4.96 and less
Vs. 30% Off: Use 96¢ shipping with items $4.40 and less
Vs. 33% Off: Use 96¢ shipping with items $4.00 and less

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
  • New Mexico
  • Oklahoma

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.

[quote name='kobeisgod']Only part of my order shipped. If my full price item shipped and 50% off item cancelled, I basically got screwed?[/QUOTE]

Yep. You can try to complain to Customer Service but apparently they have a backlog of 2,700 emails to go through. It's actually kind of amazing they have like nearly 1,000 emails a day of problems. I wonder if that's fairly normal or not in the customer service world for an operation like Hastings.

[quote name='supershammy']Not from my experience, but I'll give you the fact that your circumstance is markedly different than that which I was in. I ordered three books during a 3 for $21 sale, and only two shipped while the third was cancelled. I was charged $14, while the books were priced higher than that collectively without the sale.[/QUOTE]

With 3 for $21, each book is marked down to $7 each. So if they cancel one book, or two, the mark down has already been completed so you still get the sale price of $7 an item.

With Buy 1 Get 1 50% off, one item is full price and the cheaper one gets marked down - even though you tend to think of it as a combined discount in your head, especially if you're trying to reach that 25% off per item level. So if the 50% off item is cancelled, you're stuck paying full price for that other item.

And that's a HUGE problem with the way Hastings works and runs their sales. In my opinion, they should never run sales like this where the customer gets screwed because Hastings can't fulfill an order. They should have just done a straight 25% off sale, or like Buy 2 Get 25% off. With the latter, both items would be marked down 25% and even if one got cancelled, you would still keep the discount on the other item under their current billing process.

Thats why if at all possible I try to make a low stock game the higher priced item, because if it gets cancelled, hey I just got a free/discounted game.

System sucks, but sometimes you can tilt it in your favor.

I agree. I don't actively try to do that, but that happened to me before with the B2G1 where often one or two of the more expensive games would be cancelled and I'd get the $1 game.

But, I'd take a fair and balanced system over one that can tip to either extreme.
 
I was hoping they would actually make some improvements to their search system but... as far as I see it, it's the same old system.:whistle2:?

Well, some huge all important piece of hardware failed and the redundancies failed, so I think they were more concerned about that than reprogramming the website during their 3 days down.
 
Does anyone know how they'd handle a return for this buy 1 get 1 50% off sale? The full price item was in terrible shape, but the one that was half off was in good condition. Will they take a return of just the full priced item?

Just call them. Worst case scenario is they split the order in half and refund that.

Edit:

Also rabble rabble rabble me mad me want free stuff for website down. grrrrr

I'd actually recommend you just tell them that the specific item was damaged or whatever and that you need to return it. Don't mention the other items or the discount promotion. If you do that, you're opening a can of worms for CS to screw with your order.

They'll just give you the canned return response and the merchandise return label.

When you get refunded, they'll probably just look at the price of the item, not at the rest of the order.

From my experience, the only time they look at the rest of the order is when there is some kind of discount after the total. Like $10 off $40 or whatever just subtracts $10 off your order price. So if you return something during that, they proportionally will adjust that $10 discount down. But to the best of my knowledge, they won't screw with the rest of your order in this B1G1 50% Off situation.
 
Been looking to get Dead Space and Dead Space 2 together for a decent price. $22 shipped for both isn't too bad in my book!
 
[quote name='coopscohen']Saw this @ Blu-ray.com courtesy of bludeal and I tested it out on used games.

Whoops. Sorry. I was so excited. Just picked up Asura's Wrath for $12.97 shipped which is a few bucks cheaper than the GF sale of $14.99 plus tax.
 
That 30% plus free ship code is awesome! Picked up:

PS3 - FF13, Killzone 3
360 - Deus Ex: HR, Rage, Shift 2
Blu - Christmas Carol, Mission Impossible Trilogy, Raging Bull, Fearless, The Muppets, Michael Jordan to the Max

...and the Batman R.I.P. novel all for $64.
 
Damn, just placed an awesome order. Gonna go back for seconds. Also, noticed I was charged no shipping on my books, and no sales tax. I thought I remember shipping being 98 cents or so? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

EDIT: Also noticed that search sorting at the top is much better than it was before.
 
[quote name='cjenvy']which one?[/QUOTE]

The Star Wars Complete Saga on Blu-ray. Had it in my cart for $43 shipped and while I was adding other stuff, it went OOS.

The promo code is 30% off AND free shipping.

This goes back to what kodave and I believe a few others were discussing how you can't put up a listing for a Blu-ray/DVD combo and then ship it without the DVD. I see a used copy of Battlefield 3 Premium Edition is up for grabs, so I decided to take the risk of getting the code since it comes out to about $30 shipped. I'm pretty wary that I'll actually get the Premium code, but if I don't, then that's just not right. If I don't get the code, then literally the only thing Premium about this edition will be the boxart. I understand that they put the disclaimer there to prevent things like this happening, but why not just not sell that specific item? They don't guarantee the original case/artwork anyway so it'd be basically be like getting the standard Battlefield 3 for the price of the Premium edition. That's just not fair.

Either way, I'm taking the risk and if I don't get the code, I'll probably just return it. If I do get lucky, yay me. Then I'll have to worry about selling off my standard copy. I also snagged a few Batman hardcovers and some other random graphic novels. Sad that the Animal Man TPB went OOS as I was adding more stuff, but oh well. I've read through it already anyway, it was purely for the collection.
 
grabbed

nba 2k11 (my disk is fucked up)
wwe 12(figured id acheivement grind that while i wait for wwe 13)
dmc collection

this is prob the best game deal they have had in about 2 months


scratch that cant get it to order keeps saying my billing address doesnt match
 
[quote name='Tsel']The Star Wars Complete Saga on Blu-ray. Had it in my cart for $43 shipped and while I was adding other stuff, it went OOS.



The promo code is 30% off AND free shipping.

This goes back to what kodave and I believe a few others were discussing how you can't put up a listing for a Blu-ray/DVD combo and then ship it without the DVD. I see a used copy of Battlefield 3 Premium Edition is up for grabs, so I decided to take the risk of getting the code since it comes out to about $30 shipped. I'm pretty wary that I'll actually get the Premium code, but if I don't, then that's just not right. If I don't get the code, then literally the only thing Premium about this edition will be the boxart. I understand that they put the disclaimer there to prevent things like this happening, but why not just not sell that specific item?

ahh nah wasnt me i snagged every single star wars book they had though
 
I've only started ordering from Hastings within this past year. What kind of sales do they usually have around the holidays? Do they ever have 50% off?
 
[quote name='Talgrund']think Fable 2 would be worth it for $3?[/QUOTE]

gamestop has had it for 3.99 in the past so it isnt an off the wall deal but i mean really do you think you'll ever find it cheaper than 3 shipped?
 
wait its a 1 day sale ARE YOU fuckING KIDDING ME HASTINGS IF YOU SCREW ME OF ALL PEOPLE YOU COULD SCREW TODAY IT WILL BE THE END OF YOUR RUN AS A POPULAR OPTION
 
Weird, the promo code doesn't seem to work for every used game. Madden 13 for the PS3 is $38 used but i can't get it to discount.

Glad Gohastings site is back. Best deal for used games. Modern Warfare 3 is $15 shipped.

That sucks. It's not working on ncaa 11 either.
 
Wow to the shipping (great code)... of course I remember the 3% back AFTER I place two orders. :whistle2:/ Oh well, it's like a $1.50 lost.
 
[quote name='antlp89']This is a great deal especially with the free shipping. Great for picking up cheap games.[/QUOTE]

its a great deal period

if madden is in stock its like 30 something used etc etc
 
But it's the best deal if you are picking cheap games or movies.

You can do better on more expensive games when there's a 40% off deal, but rarely is there a % off + free shipping deal.

Usually shipping costs kill any potential deal for games under $5 so this deal is about the best you can get for those cheap items.

well yeah but you were using a generalized statement you werent comparing it to the extremely rare 40 percent off
 
Thanks OP!

Nice drops on a few titles I've been watching (no tax):

:360: Bioshock 2: $3.32
:360: Dead Rising 2: $5.44
:360: Fallout 3: GOTY: $8.37
:360: Splinter Cell: Double Agent: $2.12
:360: Splinter Cell: Conviction: $4.83
 
Free Shipping! Hooray!

Placed my first order last week, xbox 360 versions of Tron: Evolution Collector's Edition (new) for $24 shipped. Hasn't arrived yet, called, said could be up to 10 days, so it's a little longer than I expected. Checked in now, free shipping, sold out. Glad I got it while I did!
 
Finally a free ship coupon. Got

MGS4 PS3 $6.50
Mass Effect 2 360 $6
Amped 3 360 $3.50
Catherine 360 $15.50

$31.50 for all, not bad. Was thinking of getting God of War 3, but I never really got into that series.

Crysis 2, Rage, Dragon Age 2 are all cheap as well.
 
Anyone know why some games don't work with these codes? I tried to get Madden 13 which would be about $25 if the code would work, but it won't. It is a used copy, not previously viewed so I did not make that mistake.

Maybe they limit the coupon with newer games. try it with darksiders 2 or something else relatively new.
