How Shipping Payment Works:
All orders will be shipped. Shipping fees are processed along with the auction invoice the evening of the auction’s close using the card provided on file.
This is done so that we can process, pack, and ship out the orders as soon as possible.
All orders of $2,000 or more will ship for free.
All orders containing any single issue with a closing bid of $500 or more ship for free as well.
Shipping Guarantee:
All items are guaranteed to be shipped no later than 5 business days after the auction’s close.
For this auction, that means that all items will be dropped off at the Post Office no later than 6:30pm PST on Friday, December 13th. This will ensure that all orders will arrive, with time to spare, before Christmas.
Tracking numbers are sent automatically to the email on file once generated and paid for on our end. However, we find that some customers still don’t receiver their number (or it ends up in their spam folder). If you haven’t received tracking by the date listed above, please feel free to reach out at comics@angelcityconsignment.com so that we may provide it to you directly.
Shipping Material:
All items will be packed securely in Gemini mailers and Gemini comic boxes. Any comics too large for that process (Graded Comics, Treasury Editions, Comics >$499 protected in Top Loaders, etc) will be shipped using Priority Mail Boxes.
All comics have been newly bagged and double boarded for extra protection. All bags are taped shut with painters tape to prevent damage upon opening. All comics selling for >$499 will be placed in protective Top Loaders.
Although we pride ourselves in securely shipping all comics, accidents can still happen, so insurance is automatically added for all orders over $100. $1.50 is applied for every $100 of insurance in order to cover insurance fees.
Shipping Costs:
Because of USPS’s new pricing, any box that’s heavier than 20 pounds or has a side larger than 12 inches causes the cost of shipment to multiply by more than 4x.
To keep your costs down, we’ve decided to package larger orders in multiple boxes of no more than 60 books at a time to make sure we stay under this threshold.
This means that any order of 60+ books will come as more than one box with more than one tracking number.
To keep shipping costs down further, we no longer charge ANY handling fees.
What follows is the cost of shipping depending on how many comics are purchased. These charges are at or below our cost to pay for shipping + the cost of materials.
1-10 Comics = $10
11-20 Comics = $12.50
21-40 Comics = $15
41-60 Comics = $20
61-80 Comics = $30
81-100 Comics = $35
101-120 Comics = $40
121-140 Comics = $50
141-160 Comics = $55
161-180 Comics = $60
181-200 Comics = $70
201-220 Comics = $75
221-240 Comics = $80
241-260 Comics = $90
261-280 Comics = $95
281-300 Comics = $100
This tiered pattern of cost continues in the same fashion (+$5, +$5, +$10, +$5, +$5, +$10…) no matter how many comics you purchase.
All International Shipments will have $35 added to cover customs costs. We only ship USPS internationally as we’ve found other carriers cannot be trusted to fill out their end of the customs declaration correctly, leading to additional charges for the receiver.
All Graded Comics, Comics >$499, or Large Sized Comics will be shipped Priority Mail for a $20 flat fee. If you purchase other comics along with those items, and those comics can fit safely inside the Priority Box, the entire purchase will ship for the same flat fee. Otherwise a separate shipment will be sent at the prices listed above.
Final Note:
Thank you to all of our customers from our first auctions who provided feedback and constructive criticism about our shipping costs. All of it has helped us learn more deeply about the recent USPS changes and just, generally, provide a better service. We greatly appreciate you all.
