Other Ordering FAQs

How Long Does It Take To Process An Order?

Once we have received your order, please allow for 3 -5 business days to process fully in-stock orders, but if you order is not fully in stock, please refer to our partial shipping policy found below. Right Stuf Anime does not consider the weekends or holidays to be business days. It is possible that it could take a little longer than expected but don’t worry, we’re working hard to get your anime and manga out the door as fast as we can!

I Have A Preorder Or Something Out Of Stock On My Order!

Shopping here at Right Stuf allows you to backorder out of stock items. This feature functions like preordering an item that has already been released. Please keep in mind that backordered items and pre-orders may result in your order being held by the system until all items are allocated to the order.

However our system does offer an automatic partial shipment for domestic that can be used if certain internal criteria are met. When RSA initiates the partial shipping, no additional shipping costs will be incurred. Partial shipping will not result in a refund of shipping costs. Regrettably, there may be times where we are unable to fulfill partial shipments due to order volume, but rest assured your order will not be cancelled.

Right Stuf Anime reserves the right, at any time, to partially ship in stock products.

I Don’t Need My Order Anymore, Can I Cancel It?

Yes you can! So long as the order has not entered our warehouse to be fulfilled you are able to cancel your order from your account’s order overview if you used a credit or debit card! If your order has already made its way to our warehouse, it can no longer be cancelled and you will need to contact our customer care team to request a Return Authorization. Please see our returns page here for more information.

Remember that by using a credit or debit card, you aren't charged until the order has been shipped out so a refund won't be necessary since you haven't been charged yet. If you used Paypal or Sezzle, you will need to contact our Customer Care Team to cancel your order and a refund will be set up right away to go back to the original payment source. Please allow for 2-7 business days to process.

*Please keep in mind that if you check out using PayPal, we are unable to refund cancelled orders or items after 1 year from the time the order was originally placed. If a cancellation occurs for a PayPal order after this time, you will instead receive a gift certificate for the value of the cancellation.

I See The Total On my Bank Twice! Was I Double Charged?

No! So what you are seeing is actually an authorization, not a charge. While it does look like a charge, it is done by the system to test if the funds are there. Those drop off within a few business days. The speed of which it does can depend from bank-to-bank. Sometimes there is an overlap of both the authorization AND bill because of this, but the authorization will drop off.

What Happens If An Item I Ordered Goes Out Of Print?

Dang. That’s a bummer! Fortunately it won’t hold back your order. It will be removed from your order and if you used PayPal or Sezzle to place your order, a refund will automatically be set up to go back to you. If you paid using a credit/debit card, you will not be charged for the item (remember, if you use a credit/debit card, we don't charge you until your order is ready to ship out).

What Does Pending Fulfillment/Shipping or Pending Approval Mean?

Pending fulfillment or shipping means that your order is waiting to be fulfilled! This is our standard status and all orders will generally take this status until they are shipped out. Pending approval means we may need to look at your order on our end of things. Don’t worry! This doesn’t mean anything bad is happening, it can happen for a large variety of reasons. Once we have been able to push it through it will then switch to pending fulfillment!

If An Item Is Not In Stock Right Now, Is It Okay to Order?

Yes it is! Shopping here at Right Stuf allows you to backorder out of stock items. This feature functions like preordering an item that has already been released. Please keep in mind that backordered items and pre-orders may result in your order being held by the system until all items are allocated to the order.

There Are Multiple Charges On My Account From You That I Don’t Recognize! What’s Happening!

Seeing unexpected charges can sometimes be a shock! Before you panic please check your current open orders. It is very possible that you may have multiple orders partially shipping what they have available out together! If you suspect that there may be something else going on please do not be afraid to contact us!

I Had Something Preordered But Now It Says It’s Out of Stock! What Gives!

Don’t worry! Your preorder is most likely still intact! Unfortunately it might be slow to come in. There may be times where manufacturers are struggling to get their products in by the release date (here’s looking at you, 2020). If this happens, the preorder status will roll over directly to “out of stock” because we technically don’t have any stock by the date of release! It’s very rare that a preorder would be lost entirely and if that is the case for whatever reason, you will be notified!

Do You Have Free Shipping?

If you are a domestic customer (U.S) and your order is over $75, Economy shipping is free!

Some exclusions may apply. You can check the item’s eligibility in the summary box on the item page.

I Lost My Card! How Do I Change It On My Order?

Don’t worry! You can change your card! Please add the card you would like to use to your list of cards on your online account. Once you have done that you can submit a new case or call our fabulous customer care team during standard business hours to get this swapped over for you!

Why was there a small charge on my card when I placed my order?

To verify your card was valid, a small authorization may be placed on your card at the time your order is placed. It will fall off within a couple of days and will not be a permanent charge. We may contact you for the value of this charge for card verification purposes if you are a first time customer with us.

Adding items or Modifying Existing Orders

Once you have placed your order, you only have 3 business days to add additional items to the order. After 3 business days you will need to place a new order for the additional items. The 3 business day window also applies to moving products between orders, all orders would need to be in that 3 day business window.

*Once you order has entered our warehouse to be picked, packed, and shipped, we cannot add additional items to your order.

After your order has been placed, we are unable to modify prices. If an item goes on sale, you will have to cancel the item/order and place a new order at the new price.

Money Orders and domestic checks are only accepted with Mail Orders.

We at RightStufAnime.com try very hard to bring the most amazing anime or manga specific items to you at affordable rates. In order to do this sometimes, items will require a PayPal payment method only. This is due to certain items being manufactured based on the actual number of sales or the item quantities are extremely limited and require prepayment. This is a common practice for items that are of high value or collectible and ensures that our publishers have confidence in the risk they are taking with manufacturing and encourages them to manufacture even more products they might not have considered. Additionally, this practice ensures that your product will ship immediately when the products arrive in our warehouse without delays.

Occasionally PayPal only is restricted to areas of the world where an extraordinary amount of fraud has been detected by our credit card processor. Please feel free to contact us if you are not certain why your order is being restricted to PayPal only and our anime-zing customer care team will research it for you.
