QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SENTAI® STORE ORDERS
How long will it take to get my order?
Orders containing in-stock items will be processed during normal business days (Monday - Friday, excluding holidays) within 3-5 business days. Fulfillment times may vary if your order contains any items currently unavailable as a result of being out of stock, on back-order, or on pre-order. Your order will be processed in the sequential order in which it was received. Once your order has been processed and fulfilled, tracking information will be sent to you via email.
Canadian Customers
Orders being shipped to Canada are held until ALL of the items in the order are in-stock and can be fulfilled together. Processing times may exceed 7 business days during select holidays or sales events due to high volume. Your order will be processed in the sequential order in which it was received. Once your order is processed and ready to ship, typical delivery time is 3 weeks or less but may take additional time due to customs.
Why has my pre-order not shipped out yet?
Please be aware that if your order contains multiple pre-ordered items, your order may be held until all items are in-stock and can be shipped together. This may result in select items being received outside of their listed street date. However, should your order be held up by one or two items for an extended period, we will, at our discretion and at no additional expense to you, ship all items that are currently available.
Can I have my order shipped to a different country
At this time we are only shipping within the United States (Including APO (AA, AE, AP), GU, MH, MP, PR, PW and VI) & Canada.
Are there additional fees associated with shipping to Canada?
Shipping companies may charge a fee for delivering your package to a foreign country. Such fees, taxes, and customs duties are not included in our shipping price, and are your responsibility. We will not be responsible for seized shipments, and cannot provide refunds for seized products. Please check to make sure you are in compliance with all local laws if you are ordering a product(s).
What regions are your Blu-rays and DVDs encoded for?
All of our Blu-ray’s are encoded for region A/1. All of our DVDs are encoded for region 1.
I ordered something, but I want to cancel it.
Please contact customer support (opens in a new window) for assistance related to your order. Once an order is purchased, it is automatically sent to our fulfillment center for dispatch. We will make every effort to cancel your order. In the event we are unable to cancel your order however, you will be responsible for shipping charges if the item(s) need to be returned. Please select carefully when checking out.
Why was my order canceled?
We reserve the right to block access to or cancel an order of any user that we believe, in our sole and absolute discretion: (i) is or is associated with a reseller, (ii) is utilizing automated means to process or place orders, (iii) whose order reflects product pricing errors, technical problems or mistakes, or (iv) whose order exceeds any stated limit on discounts, quantity or which violates other restrictions and exclusions.
How can I track my order?

If you do not receive a confirmation email, please check your spam folder and the spelling of the email address associated with your Sentai Shop account. Once your order has shipped, we will send you an email confirmation with the tracking number to the email address associated with your order.
The item I ordered is on back order. How do I find the ETA?
You can check the ETA status for all back ordered items by visiting our Back Order Status Page. Please be aware that restock Etas are subject to change. You will receive an email with shipping confirmation and tracking once your order ships.
When will I be billed for a preorder?
For your security we do not store credit card information. This prevents us from being able to store and charge a credit card at a future date. As a result, you will be charged for a preorder at the time that you submit your request for purchase.
Can I deactivate my account?
If you would like to deactivate your account, please contact customer support (opens in a new window) for assistance.
How many coupon codes can I use?
You may only use one coupon per order.
Where is my order fulfilled from?
We work with a number of 3rd Party fulfillment partners, as such, select items within your order may be shipped from various locations.
Why doesn’t my order qualify for free shipping?
To qualify for FREE US or Canada shipping, orders must meet the minimum purchase threshold as advertised. Please note that digital Gift Card purchases do not apply to the minimum free shipping threshold.

I want to purchase a gift card. How can I use it?
- Sentai Gift cards can be purchased in $10, $25, $50, and $100 increments. They are associated with unique codes and cannot be recharged after purchase.
- Codes will be delivered electronically to a recipient email address you designate at the time of purchase. To redeem their code, recipients must create a Sentai store account.
- Use of the Sentai store accounts and the Sentai store services are governed by our Terms of Use. For information about our policies and practice regarding the collection and use of customer information, please read Sentai Privacy Policy.
- Gift cards expire unless redeemed within 12 months following the date of purchase. They have no cash value. Don’t try buying stamps, or snack items or airline tickets with our gift codes. They don’t work that way. And, you may receive an unwelcome reaction. They can’t be exchanged for cash or anything else.
- Gift codes should be treated with care. Handle them like cash, passwords, “artistic photos“ and fuzzy baby bunnies because some creep might steal them and use them for malevolent purposes. You and your recipient are entirely responsible for anything that happens to your code after we send it to you. So be careful!
- Once purchased, they can’t be un-purchased unless required by law. In other words, there are no returns or refunds even if the card is never redeemed. Likewise, once a user redeems a gift card, it can’t be revoked or used by anyone else. Each unique code may only be redeemed once.
