Our Products are shipped in the highest quality bags & boards and the most robust packaging to ensure your order is protected during transit. For higher end items like Statues and Figures, we use a fully tracked and insured service.

Once your order has been processed, your order should arrive within 3 to 5 working days if delivered in the UK. All orders will be sent out and handled via one of our preferred couriers.
We do not hold any stock on site and all products are held in stock with our wholesaler so don’t worry, if your order is still showing as processing, we’ve seen it and are waiting for your order to reach our fulfilment centre!

Pre-orders are shipped from the United States and only a specific quantity will come into the UK. We will always do our best to ensure that your pre-order is sent out on the day of release, however in some cases, it may arrive 1 to 2 days later.
If your pre-order has not been received within 3 working days of the release date then please contact us through the contact form below.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PRE-ORDER DOESN'T COME INTO STOCK?
From time to time our suppliers scheduling and shipping dates can change, be delayed or be cancelled by the publisher or manufacturer.
If the release date of a product changes we will update it on our website as soon as we are aware. If we cannot fulfill your pre-order we will contact you by email as to the reason why and the next steps to process your refund.
We encourage you to get your pre-orders paid for and processed as early as possible in order for us to give advance notice to our supplier so they can allocate the correct amount of pre-order items to our account.

We will initiate contact by email in order to resolve any issues you may be experiencing, and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience you may experience.
MY ITEM HAS MINOR DAMAGE, WHAT CAN I DO?
We understand customers expect their purchases to be of the highest standard, without minor/cosmetic faults. However, some products may be subject to comic book industry accepted faults, such as spine creasing, printing errors, smudges, bleeding, and corner wear.
All items are held with our wholesaler and we are unable to inspect any of our products until we have received them at our distribution centre. Once received, we will endeavour to thoroughly inspect all products for any major damage. If major damage is found, we will make a replacement order with our wholesaler and ship it out to you one day later. Sometimes there isn’t any more available stock, in this situation we recommend you get in touch and we will try our best to replace your order through other means or offer you a full refund. Please see the returns section for more information.
We cannot guarantee your order will arrive in mint condition, and we cannot accept returns or exchanges on products affected by very minor issues, however we do endeavour to inspect each and every product we ship thoroughly so that you never receive something you are unsatisfied with.

Due to processes out of our control, replacements are dependent on availability, and we cannot always guarantee that we will be able to replace a product. In these cases, we will refund your order in full.
