Shipping & Returns

 

Shipping & Delivery

 

We will ship most items within 24 hours of ordering them We do not ship on Sundays or US Holidays. We mainly utilize the USPS to ship the majority of our items. We will provide a tracking number with all orders. The USPS tracking system is slow at times and it can take 24-48 hours for tracking information to update.

Currently we package and print shipping labels every evening Sunday Through Thursday and ship out packages on the following morning. If you need something expedited for a birthday or other event please let us know and we will do everything we can to get your item to you on time.

Shipping Prices

United States

We offer $3.95 shipping for as many comic books as you care to buy, everything else ships for free!

International

Our shipping price is based on the weight of the item(s) you put in the cart. We can utilize USPS First Class international up to 4 lbs, this is usually the least expensive option.

 

International orders over $50 may require higher shipping charges, for delivery confirmation. It can take up to 4 weeks for items to clear customers, for our international buyers. We don't control customs and the delays they some times incur.

Any import duties, fees, VAT, or tax that may be added by your local delivery service is by purchaser and not included.

Packaging Comics

We put all our comics in a bag and board prior to shipping. This does cost us more but we believe it helps protect the comics during transit from both drop damage and environmental damage.

  • 1-4 Comics with value under $5.00 will be shipped in a Jifirigi rigid #3 envelope with a "Do Not Bend" sticker on it.

  • Orders over $5.00 in value will be shipped in a cardboard box.

If you would like other arrangements made please let us know and we will try to accommodate.

Packaging Everything Else

  

We ship most collectible items in Cardboard boxes.  Non-collectible or items that are not easily damaged during shipment may ship in bubble bags.

No Returns on Redeemed Digital Content

If a publisher includes a redemption key for online content with a comic, we will not accept the item for return if the digital content has already been redeemed. (Put more plainly, if you peel the sticker off a newly-released comic to reveal the code, we won't accept a return on that item.) Please see our grading terms for more information about digital codes included with books; many older comic books we may sell will have the code previously redeemed, and those would be returnable.

We also cannot take responsibility or grant a refund if the publisher chooses not to redeem your code, for whatever reason..
