INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS!!
Hello! If you pay by Paypal, we will ONLY ship international by Priority or Express.
Our reasons for this is that those are the only options with tracking.
Why do we need tracking?
If we do not use tracking and you pay by Paypal, they will immediately refund your money if you say you never received it. This has happened to us 6 times, and interestingly enough, we have only had buyers who paid with Paypal make this claim. Looking into this matter, we found out from numerous sellers (and believe it or not, buyers who have bragged about it) that there are unscrupulous buyers out there and that this has become a common practice with some international buyers.
We are not suggesting in any way that you would be dishonest, we are giving you our reasoning, and explaining why we now have to protect ourselves.
We have been doing mail order since 1983, and have never had a problem with lost shipments through cash or international money order transactions.....only when Paypal started.
Buyers are welcome to email us with questions!
Thank you!
International shipping can take weeks to arrive. Please be patient. :)
ITALY & MEXICO seem to have many problems getting mail. We prefer to ship using EXPRESS ONLY to these countries.
We will send an invoice that includes EXPRESS and/or PRIORITY shipping. We will accept Paypal for International Orders being shipped PRIORITY or EXPRESS.
We can carefully pack up to 5 comics in a large envelope. We have had the post office take over a month to deliver Priority. We have also had the post office take over THREE MONTHS to deliver REGISTERED mail. If you choose any shipping method other than EXPRESS you are doing so at your own risk. We cannot guarantee what happens to your uninsured and untrackable package once it leaves our hands.
Priority International to most Countries for up to 5 comics runs $14
Priority International to Canada for up to 5 comics is $12
First Class International to Canada for up to 5 comics is $6.50
Posters (regular size, rolled) go Priority... $25 to Canada, $35.00 to UK/Europe and about $35 to Australia. I will email an invoice to you, please be patient.
Mini Busts/Small Statues generally cost $55 Express, $40 Priority to be shipped to UK, Italy, France, Spain.
Express Mail International is the only method that is insured and trackable.
If your item is returned to us for any reason by the postal service, it will be your responsibility to pay any fees the post office charges for returning the item to us and also to pay additional postage for us to send the item to you again. Please be extra careful when typing your address. I will write/type your address EXACTLY as I see it on eBay.
