I missed the last one day - had a few things that showed up in stock I was going to order. They'll probably be gone by the time I'm able to make the order!

I put in a small order. It's the first time in over a year, so hopefully they don't screw it up

for the 6th time, I placed an order for Godzilla Criterion edition as the last 5 times they either sent me the 1998 Sony version or the godawful 2014 Warner version. The last time they did this and I called to return, the rep told me that the next time I place an order, I should call them so they can get in touch with the store fulfilling the order and confirm that it is the right version they are shipping. So I did this time - the rep got in touch with the store and sent me a confirmation email that they will indeed ship the Criterion version. Received the package y'day and guess what, its the fucking 2014 version again !! So its always luck of the draw, if they want me to keep returning it, so be it. Just that don't get your hopes high anticipating that there WON'T be a screwup.

And oh yeah, also ordered the rare digibook version of 'Master and Commander'. Received the regular non-digibook version. So its typical Hastings.

On the flip side, they surprise you sometimes with new sealed copies when you order used or pre-viewed. So you NEVER know.

^Yeah, the stupidity of their title fulfillment on occasion is staggering. I've received the Disney Hunchback of Notre Dame when I ordered the Image "Ultimate Edition" (like yours, a totally different film!), a PD release of Circus of Fear after ordering the Blue Underground version, a PD release of Captain Kidd after ordering the ROAN release, the Alpha release of Santa Fe Trail after ordering a different label (don't recall which on this one), and the Chinese Black Cat (Hong Kong attempts to emulate La Femme Nakita) when I'd ordered the 1982 British title Black Cat (radically different films). All were refunded *except* for Hunchback... which I never complained about as the Disney version was twice as expensive as what I'd ordered and I figured my grandkids might like it (I do not). But that's out of several hundred titles ordered. Overall I'm fairly pleased.

Because of prior issues I now rarely attempt to order any title which might be confused with a different title *or* has multiple releases of varying pedigree. It usually depends on just how much I want a particular title, its rarity, and their price. Even then I'll only take a chance *once* and don't try again if a incorrect title is shipped.

Since their packing slip has the "new" UPC code listed you'd think they'd cross reference it to make sure it's accurate *before* shipping, but I guess that's too difficult for their staff. And I absolutely don't understand their use of "used" UPC on the packing slip as it's different than "new" and appears *nowhere* on the disc labels.

But those new titles you receive when expecting a used one are great. Especially if it's a somewhat rare and/or expensive title if purchased new. I've had that happen several times.

iTs a personal challenge for me to receive the right one especially when the title is priced in accordance with its 'value'. Why do you price it as a criterion, sport a product picture as the criterion, include the correct details of te product and THEN fulfill it as the wrong one ? Again and again ? It reeks of imbecile inventory management, wherein they toss anything called Godzilla into the inventory location. And yes, never have been able to make sense of those Used vs New UPCs on the packing slip. This time I am going to try and speak to a Super and see if I can get anywhere to address this as an issue. But like you, am overall very pleased with the value of what I get for what I pay there. Just that I thought I was getting somewhere this time with that confirmation from the store...but apparently the store probably just heard the Godzilla name from the rep and said 'yo, we got that'

Dr. Phibes

Sounds like I'm not the only guy who ordered the Criterion version of Godzilla and got a different Godzilla. I ended up with the new one, which I like just fine, but I already own two copies of it (regular and metalpack).

Overall I've had good luck with them lately though, my Nightmare on Elm Street Collection blu-ray set was in great shape.

Hey, I won't complain that much. I picked up The Larry Sanders Show-Complete Series for $42.54. That right there makes many other potential mistakes worth it. The Aristocats Blu and the Interstellar Blu were new and sealed. The Criterion DVD of Life and Death of Colonel Blimp was also sealed; this was the newer version with commentary and documentary. Always amazes me some things that arrive new for a used price. These damn sales have scorched my card; Suprised I don't have third degree burns with how much I've spent the last 2 weeks.

Don't know if this has happened to anyone else as its a first for me. Ordered the Criterion edition of 'Fantastic Mr.Fox' that was priced at $14.95 prior to a 35% off used discount that was applicable 10/8. I can swear that the coupon applied for a post discount price of $9.71 + $1.29 S/H. I just checked my order history today and it shows that no discount has been applied. Went back to my order confirmation email and that shows no discount either. Looked at my Credit card statement and sure enough, its $14.95+$1.29 that's been charged to it.

Has anyone else had this happen ?

PhantomStranger

I've heard of the discount coming off in the final stage of checkout before at GoHastings. It's why I always check before I hit that finalize order button. You aren't alone, it has happened to others.

kahuna

A few months ago I placed a order. It showed the correct (sale) price at final checkout. Even showed it in the emails I received. But when I checked my CC a few days later I got charged the full price. Even checking order history had the discount prices. Had to call for them to give me the credit back.

PhantomStranger

That is disturbing to hear.

laidbacklarkin

Wow, that's downright sleazy and fraudulent. And entirely possible - how many of us check our credit card statements and reconcile it with these purchases ? Very troubling to hear that.

My experience on this was that the correct post discount price was shown on the order screen prior to confirming the purchase, which is why I placed the order. Since I had not experienced this before, I didn't bother checking my order confirmation email.

Now it will be a double whammy if they send me the Fox edition of 'Fanstastic Mr.Fox' instead of the Criterion Edition :-)

Just a warning for everyone to check their order confirmation emails upon placing an order. And saving a screenshot/PDF of the order confirmation page upon placing the order.

Damn good sale if only the code worked right now. I have two new releases in my cart & no discount. I even tried a couple of older titles & no go also.

I don't know if it'll help assuage your fears or not, but I ordered the Criterion Fantastic Mr. Fox from GoHastings back in August and actually received the Criterion version! So there's good chance that you will too.
