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

  • Wyoming

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='Whedon']I mentioned yesterday the Smallville set I got with the detached disc trays and the non functional disc 1. My question is, there are no other Season 3 in stock right now. How do I know that if it shows up on my wish list as in stock and I do reorder it, it won't be this exact same one back again in the same condition? Or will they at least resurface the first 3 discs before trying to resell it again do you think?

I know I'm asking a lot expecting anyone to know the answer to this, but has anyone ever had the experience of returning a poor condition item, reordering and receiving the same item back?[/QUOTE]


I wouldn't expect them to resell something you told them is defective.

Chances are high that it won't be the same item, or at least not in the same condition. I've never had it happen, but the return process takes a long time and the chances of one other person in America trading in a copy of that show are high. And if all else fails, you can just get a better series. ;) Just kidding.
 
never gotten anything ive returned. Not sure what they do with all the defective items, probably why they often times told you to keep the item (at least before the last month or so), cause what are they going to do with something defective? I guess its possible they resurface them and test them again, but who knows. That set is probably a more common trade in, so Im sure the chances of you getting the same one back are very very small

I've always wondered that myself with things I've returned. Often if I've returned an item I just give up on getting it from Hastings because I don't know if I'll just get the same thing I just returned. But that's just me being overly cautious.
 
Just got my LA Noire for :360: and disc 1 has a giant scratch. Pop the game in and try to install it but craps out a 3% every time. So now how will this effect my B2G1. Are they going to charge me full price for the $1 game now? How hard is it to not see that a huge scratch might cause a problem.
 
[quote name='Vinny']Dammit... a BD I've been waiting ages for finally shows up stock and it doesn't qualify for the sale.

Same thing here... With two different blu-rays... I'm guessing when they setup the promotion in their system, they're not going back and 'flipping the switch' for items that weren't in stock at the beginning of the sale :(

No, you shouldn't get charged full price for the $1 game.

Ok cool just got the email with the return slip for this and the cracked Army of Two 2 they sent me.
 
Thanks for the responses all, if they resurface the discs I would be ok with the slim chance of getting the same item again, I bet I could glue the case back together. There are none for sale right now which is what made me think of possibly getting my own return back if I reorder soon.

And I've done that same thing kodave, got a mangled movie a few months back and I'm too paranoid to push my luck and reorder it.
 
Got 3 cheap games from them in the mail today, and all were in great condition.
Discs all looked mint, cases were all perfect, and they all had original artwork and manuals.
 
Hmmm, hoping for some sort of sweet sale this weekend. Free shipping spoiled me and all the items I want are around the $5 price point and from different areas (books, movies, cds). I nice general 40% off and free shipping would be ideal :)

There are support groups you know...
 
Don't worry guys, I just gave in and put in an order for a few books. That usually means an awesome new deal should come out later today.

There may be some truth to a Columbus day sale. It accepts the coupon "columbus", but so far it doesn't do any price adjustments to things in your cart.
 
[quote name='Ashlee']Guys, I can use the code just once? or if I order other 3 games I can use the code again?

Thanks,

Should be able to use it multiple times.

You can either make two separate orders of 3, or you can make one order with 6 items in it. The only catch with the latter is that it will mark the two cheapest games as "1 dollar", but it may be a better deal if you order the 3 most expensive and then the 3 least expensive.

Thank you, I ordered some games. They will ship to California right? They did not charged me for tax during checkout, so that is weird for me considering where I live they charge about 8.75% for tax at some places :whistle2:s

Thanks for the help :cool:

Saturday 06 (tomorrow). But I am not sure if tomorrow is the last day to use the code, or it will be already expired by then.
Anyway,I was going to order more games, but Read dead for PS3 is out of stock, ugh u.u I guess I will wait until later today then :/

Hmm...gonna have to order today then.

I know what you mean...They seem to update their stock pretty frequently though. The popular games literally run out of stock at the worst times like this. I ordered Bioshock 2 from BB because GH sold out, and now its back in stock, and 5 bucks cheaper...:whistle2:# But I did get most of my used games from them as of recently. You can't beat these prices, but I'd love to see a FREE SHIPPING sale soon. I missed out on the last one.

Edit: Does anyone know if when you order any used special editions they throw in the DLC codes? I want to get RE:5 Gold Edition, but if it doesn't come with any of the DLC codes that would be sort of a waste.

[quote name='Gycot']TWITTER30 is the code[/QUOTE]

Thank you so much! Was just about to place an order with the B2G1F deal but this is actually cheaper since my items are very difference prices!!
 
Prepare to see "Out of Stock" a whole lot, everything I clicked on has been OOS.

Edit:
A couple of notes:
The prices have been jacked up.
Hot Shots Golf OOB doesn't count for this deal.
Tons of OOS used games, I mean tons, stuff that usually is always in stock.

I'm good on this one thankfully I made my big order yesterday morning and it is complete.

COLUMBUS is the code for free shipping on clearance items. So unless they expand and change the terms of the code, that's likely not the big deal for the weekend.
 
[quote name='Yesijones']what is the hastings twitter address?[/QUOTE]

@goHastings

Most of my wishlist is OOS or overpriced, so this won't be a big spending sale for me.

EDIT: I don't want to jinx myself, but I just scored a Walking Dead TPB, Fallen Son hardcover, and the entire Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series for $20 total.
 
do you guys think a price drop is in the cards for the nba 2k12/mlb2k12 combo pack or is that something thats not likely any time soon due to the death of mlb 2k
 
OMG! I'm so dumb. I ordered Uncharted 1,2, and 3, and I just noticed that Uncharted 3 needs an online pass code!... ):

Is there a chance that I can get an unused code inside the game or somewhere else? If not, How much does it cost if I buy it from Sony PS Store?

Thanks,

Ashlee.
 
30% off code still working. A lot of stuff OOS on my wl but thats normal... I did pick up 3 things, and I have to say what was in stock yesterday prices have gone down on almost everything on my wishlist. Most still not to the point of buy, but still :)

Very doubtful that you'll receive an unused code. The code costs $10 on the PlayStation Store, I believe, but I strongly advise checking out the trading forum here on CAG. You may be able to score one for as little as $1.
 
Used the twitter code to pick up

iconbluraypng.png
- Underworld: Awakening in 3D - $7.06
Vita - Resistance: Burning Skies - $10.90

- Mass Effect 3 - $10.48

I bought Uncharted 3 from them in April and it came with a working online pass, so you never know.

[quote name='CaoPi']COLUMBUS is the code for free shipping on clearance items isn't working, is it just me or?[/QUOTE]

It's not working. Seems like it was activated too soon. It'll probably be valid on Monday.

First post updated. Unless you're buying new items, you'll probably want to move on the 30% off while its still good on Sunday.
 
Everything from my order shipped. They packaged all the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels in one order and the rest in another. Now that's convenient. :bouncy:
 
[quote name='Squarehard']Got 28 confirmations so far this morning.

Half way there![/QUOTE]

I'm amazed that you found 28 things that you don't already have...:whistle2:S

It is always tricky when browsing stuff on Hastings, but there's always something I'd like to get my hands on, thank god. ^__^
 
Anybody have any good recommendations on trade paperbacks/graphic novels? My favorite is Walking Dead so I like horror or darker themed stuff. Looking for some cheap stuff for the next sale.
 
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.
