Processing & Shipping

Processing

Pre-Order Items
  • Pre-Order items contain the words 'PRE-ORDER' in the title.
  • Pre-Orders items will be charged at the time of checkout - just like In-Stock books.
  • If your order contains Pre-Order Items, all items will ship when the last item becomes available. That includes all In-Stock items.
  • If you would prefer to receive the In-Stock items sooner, please consider placing separate orders.
In-Stock Items
  • In-stock Items are processed and shipped within 2-3 business days.
  • We ship Monday through Friday.
  • Our final cut-off for the week is 11:00 AM EST on Friday.
  • Orders are not shipped or delivered on Federal holidays.
  • In-Stock Items on the same Order as Pre-Order items will ship when the last Pre-Order Item is available.
  • If you would prefer to receive the In-Stock items sooner, please consider placing separate orders.

    Please Note: Pre-order Items are subject to release date changes and cancellation by the Publisher. These changes are often unannounced, but we update our data regularly. We will update your order with any changes as we are made aware of them. Updates will be located at the top of the Order Status page.

    Any items cancelled by the Publisher will be refunded.

     

    Multiple Orders & Split Fulfillments

    We understand that customers may place multiple orders with different release dates. While items within a single order that includes pre-orders are normally held until the last pre-ordered item is available, we can fulfill separate orders at different times as their items become available. This means an earlier, ready-to-ship order does not necessarily have to wait for a pre-order in a different order.

    We also take publisher delays and changes to pre-order release dates into account when reviewing outstanding orders. If a title is delayed, we may arrange a partial fulfillment of available items rather than holding everything indefinitely. Split fulfillments are handled on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the items available, outstanding pre-orders, and applicable shipping arrangements. Additional shipments are not automatically included in the original shipping charge or free-shipping offer. Please contact us if you have questions about how your orders will ship.

    Domestic Shipping

    We ship via the following options:

    • USPS Ground Advantage
    • UPS® Ground Saver

    Your shipment costs will be calculated at checkout.

    All raw (non-graded) books ship bagged & boarded in an industry standard mailer (BCW/Gemini). Graded Comics, Graphic Novels and Action Figures are shipped securely in boxes from BCW/Gemini and ULINE. 

    Orders are not shipped or delivered on Federal holidays.

    We currently offer Free Ground Shipping for orders over $59. This is subject to change.

    Note: Free Shipping is the equivelant of one free shipment per order. Items with multiple release dates will not be broken up into multiple free shipments.

    International Shipping

    We currently do not ship outside of the U.S. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience at this time.
