I got 8 out of the 9 things that I ordered. only paying 8.90 for them. Surprised so many of them shipped. After the first one being canceled.

I got my Casshern Part 1 and Part 2. Going to return my third BD though because it's in crap condition. Luckily it was also my filler title (a $4 shipped Men Who Stare at Goats).

Also, the prequel trilogies are only $20 IF you can find about $5 in books and/or DVDs (where the DVD qualifies for the $5 or $10 off and the total is over $30). I picked up a copy; came to $26 and some change for a Rifftrax shorts DVD and the prequel SW blus. (Personally, I don't care about the extras as much as 7 per film.)

The extras on the SW set are pretty great. I rarely watch extras and the 97 minutes spoofs montage is nothing short of amazing. Everything I have ever seen online was on there, even obscure youtube videos that parodied star wars.

Might still get it. Found out my total for the prequels was around $19.50 shipped, after discount. If the full set ever drops low enough, and I can sell this set for a profit, I'll jump on it.

I just about hit the ceiling. Thankfully, I'd saved a screen grab of the previous page showing that the Free Shipping promo was applied. Hopefully, it will come in handy if I have to dispute this charge. I assume the code had expired, but there was no expiration date listed and it stayed applied all the way through checkout. I'm not going to sit back and let them screw me out of $70. Shot off an e-mail to customer service, but it seems they are only available Mon-Fri. So very frustrating. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? If so, how was it resolved?

re: Hastings / gohastings.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I placed an order for $35 worth of merchandise earlier this afternoon. The order went through without incident. I decided to browse the cheap DVDs tonight and ended up placing a second order for about 35 $1-$2 titles. I entered the SENDIT2ME code, shipping showed up 'FREE' and everything looked good. Then I hit PLACE ORDER and my confirmation screen suddenly shows a shipping charge of $70.68!!!

I think you can only buy 20 items with a coupon code. That's been my experience. Every time there is a free shipping code with no $ limit, I buy about 20 $1 dvds. If I try to go over 20, the shipping charge is applied.

My advice? Never, ever, ever, ever, ever wait for Customer Service email. I LITERALLY just got a response to an email I sent in December 2010 last week. I don't know if it got lost, somehow, or what the case was. Just so happens I called a few days later after that email, so I had it resolved instantly. To that end, that's what I recommend you do. Call them up on monday. It's a hassle, but it's better than never getting a response and you'll instantly know where you stand.

Outside of an occasion or two where no one has picked up the phone (usually during CST lunchtime), I have never had any issues with Hastings customer service. They are invariably friendly and helpful. But like others have recommended, I suggest you call ASAP just in case you have to cancel the entire order. Better to head this off before you have to send 30 titles back to them.
I also recommend calling over E mail. I once e mailed them about the wrong 99 cent DVD they sent me and they responded saying they wanted me to send the DVD back. So I called instead and the rep told me to just keep it or discard it. After that I stayed away from their E mail cs.

I received a reply to my e-mail this morning telling me to call the customer service number regarding "terms of promotion codes". That doesn't sound good. Of course, the call center is closed until 9 AM Mon. morning when I'll be busy at work. Plus, it's been my experience that items usually ship as early as 3 AM (at least that's when they send the notifications).
I sent a reply to their e-mail response begging the person who reads it to please make SOME effort to correct the situation if possible before Monday. Someone is answering Hastings e-mails this weekend, but they aren't offering to fix my problem. Hopefully, they'll at least refund the shipping if it's too late to adjust the total. Like I said, I have a screen grab of my final total before I hit the order button. Here's hoping it's enough evidence for my credit card company if the charge goes through and I'm forced to dispute it.

I know, hell must have frozen over. Fastest reply I've ever gotten from this freakin' company and it resolved zilch.
Not a surprise, though. They've sent responses like that in the past concerning other issues. It seems all their e-mail division are good for is issuing return labels or referring you to the call center.
