goHastings: 10 Used Books ONLY $25 Shipped
For a limited time only, goHastings.com is offering 10 select used books for just $25 + Free shipping whenever you enter promo code BOOKSHIP at checkout (note that the code did not work on the American Girl book for me). That makes each book just $2.50 shipped to your door, which seems like a nice deal for popular & highly rated books!
(Thanks, Sarah!)
I googled opinions of this company and the majority were very negative. Anyone here have first hand experiences with them? There were a lot of complaints about shipping times,listed books that became OOS and the condition the books were in. I don’t expect a like new book, but the reviews as to the issues with the books people received is making me think twice.
Yes, I am have the same question Abbey does. ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS COMPANY?
I have bought from them numerous times and have always had a good experience. 90% of the books or movies I’ve ordered have been giftable quality. The other 10% had creasing or the plastic removed from movie case. The shipping can take up to 2 weeks and if you order more than one item, they tend to ship separately. I used to order the majority of my used books on abebooks.com or Amazon but liked Hastings so well, I switched.
That’s my worry, if I order 10 books, what are the odds that I’ll get 10 different boxes at my door?
Thanks for your feedback Sarah!
GoHastings has a pretty big eBay presence. I am familiar with them selling DVDs, but now it seems they sell a little of everything. I am picky about my books, so I tend to stay away from bulk sellers who give vague condition descriptions.

Hastings used to be a brick and mortar Barnes-and-Noble-type store. I used to shop there in TN. I’ve bought stuff from gohastings through Amazon. Perfectly fine.
Thanks for your review Diane!
I never ordered from them, but they have an actual brick and mortar store where I live. I’ve never had problems purchasing from the store.
Thanks for sharing Natasha! Good to know!
Ive been buying dvds from gohastings for years. Many times th e new ones come still shrinkwrapped!! Inabout 6 years, only twice have I gotten a kids dvd and it wont play. I called, they refunded me on the phone and told me to keep the item. Im a huge gohastings fan, especially when they do 40%off
Glad to hear that Sarah! Thanks for your feedback!
I used BOOKSHIP code as a filter to select 10 items, but code didn’t work for me in the end and I can’t tell which book doesn’t qualify!
The link above should bring you to the qualifying books. Hope that helps!
Collin, I selected my books thru the link you posted, and I can see that code is being accepted, but the price doesn’t change. Bummer, were is no way to tell which book somehow doesn’t qualify.
I had the exact thing happen!
I have no idea how to tell which books qualify?? I just spent a good amount of time getting my 10 books picked out and it says my code was applied, but the price didn’t change at all! ugh!
The books listed through the link above are those that qualify. Hope that helps!
Thanks Collin – I did that but the code makes no change to the price in the cart, unfortunately π
