- Can I cancel
an order after it has been submitted? If so, how should I do it?
Gohastings tries to ship all orders promptly, but
if needed, we will always try our best to cancel any orders at our
customer's request. However, if an item is about to ship or is too far
into the system for the cancellation process, we will be UNABLE to
cancel that particular order. If the order cannot be canceled and does
actually ship to you, we will need you to return the order to us by
following the return instructions located in the packing list. Once the
order has been returned, we will gladly refund the order amount back to
your credit card account. If we are successful in canceling your order,
you will receive e-mail notification as to the cancellation.

- What is the difference in shipping preferences?
This option is necessary when ordering
items not yet released in conjunction with items already
available. If you would like to wait until all items are available
before shipping, select the "Wait until the entire order is ready before
shipping" option, which will reduce your shipping costs. However,
if you would like us not to wait until your pre-order item(s) become
available before shipping your available items, please select the "Ship
the items I ordered as they become available" option. Please note that
if you ordered more than 1 item, they may be shipped in different boxes
