scottheisel Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I picked up: LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls 12-inch Ben Gibbard & Jay Farrar - Music From Kerouac's Big Sur 2xLP The Jealous Sound - A Gentle Reminder LP For $30 shipped. Although I couldn't get $.96 shipping for anything — originally I had three or four additional 7-inches in my cart and the shipping for the whole order was something like $14, so I cut the 7-inches out and it dropped to $4 and change, but when I tried to place a separate order for any of those 7-inches, shipping was starting at $2.36 per item or something.

ksuwdboots Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Damn, looks like this is over already. Prices aren't as good ($2-3 more) as they were yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh; it said the cyber sale was going on until Friday or Saturday so I held off buying until I got paid on Friday. Oh well, no biggie.

The Saint Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I might have to pick up GTA V today. That's a killer deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I might have to pick up GTA V today. That's a killer deal. they inflated the price of the used next gen games a bit to counter the discount (i'm assuming they're losing money on buyback), but i was still able to get a ps4 game for $40.

Out Of Time Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 My record should be delivered today. I'm anxious to see what kind of condition it arrives in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out Of Time Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My album came shipped in a huge box but to my surprise it was in near perfect shape when I pulled it out. Looks like I got lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had an LP from them arrive in anything but a frustration-free style mailer. Glad it survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think I win on the 'worst mailer from GoHastings' competition. Broken down box with the sides taped shut. Surprisingly, both the LPs inside were in excellent shape. No seam splits or banged up corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, neither were damaged, amazingly I think they've cast some sort of protection spell on their packages, there is no other explanation on how these arrive safely.

castaway Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The "I thought for sure my record was mangled up in that packaging but it actually wasn't" adrenaline rush... a GoHastings trademark. mmhmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaba1337 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I've gotten records in a flattened box like that from ebay sellers before, they are always in perfect condition. I think it's actually a fairly good packaging as long as the record is snug inside. Lots of edge protection, only weakness would be if it got bent.

Dusted_By_Space Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I grabbed the metallica rsd box through this sell. it came in a bigger box with something akin to the system SSD uses, like a cradle. it was in perfect shape, not a bad deal for $27.00 ppd. the other records I ordered came in the amazon style boxes. I guess im lucky in that ive never had a hastings order go south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess im lucky in that ive never had a hastings order go south. I can't say I've had any of mine 'go south' either. They've showed up in boxes of all shapes and sizes, but they've all been in good shape. I'd honestly say they show up better than a lot of places I order from (who package more appropriately). I also mainly order records from Hastings that are cheap or on clearance, so I can't be too mad that they skimp on the packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, both the LPs inside were in excellent shape. No seam splits or banged up corners. I've absolutely received a few of these over the years. I can't seem to recall the contents ever being damaged, either. Heaven ls Records 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I've gotten a couple bubble mailers from GoHastings with no other protection but the records have nothing more than a tiny corner bend. Wizards, I tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjm23 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I work for Hastings and all stores are supposed to use record mailers. Each store is supposed to order more when they run out which I am guessing these stores sending out records are not doing. If you have any damage call the 1-800 number and complain and they should hopefully do something for you or at least say something to the stores who are sending records out like that. Makes me cringe anytime I see a record sent that way but you never know what you are going to get since it can come from any Hastings store in the U.S. mmhmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
