As an eBay buyer myself, I know how frustrating it is to purchase an item only to receive it bent, folded, crushed and/or jam-packed in your mailbox. To prevent any damage from occurring, all of my comics are shipped individually bagged & boarded and taped between strong pieces of cardboard, and sent in crush-proof cardboard boxes. I have been shipping between 100-200 packages each week for the past few years (including many international shipments), and 0 books have arrived damaged. If you buy from me, I promise that your items will arrive safely and exactly as I have described them.* International Bidders : I realize that high shipping costs are always a concern for international shipments; to help, I try to charge bidders several dollars below my cost when shipping internationally. Please see the charts listed below for my international shipping rates. If your country is not listed (or if you have any questions regarding shipping, please feel free to email me): Canada : If you win: 1 comic book, I will charge you: $7.00 for shipping. 2-3 comic books: $8.50 for shipping. 4-6 comic books: $11.00 for shipping. 7-9 comic books: $12.50 for shipping. 10-12 comic books: $15.00 for shipping. 13-15 comic books: $17.50 for shipping. 16-18 comic books: $20.00 for shipping. 19-20 comic books: $22.50 for shipping. 21-40 comic books: $27.50 for shipping (as they will need to be shipped via Priority Mail). 40+ comic books: $35.00 for shipping (this is generally the most that I'll ever charge for a shipment to Canada. If you ever have a very large order (100+ comics), then the shipping will be a little higher, but I'll still give you a very reasonable, discounted price on the shipping.) United Kingdom/Australia : If you win: 1 comic book, I will charge you $12.00 for shipping. 2-3 comic books: $13.50 for shipping. 4-6 comic books: $15.00 for shipping. 7-9 comic books: $17.50 for shipping. 10-12 comic books: $20.00 for shipping. 13-15 comic books: $22.50 for shipping. 16-18 comic books: $25.00 for shipping. 19-20 comic books: $27.50 for shipping. 21-40 comic books: $35.00 for shipping (as they will need to be shipped via Priority Mail). 40+ comic books: $45.00 for shipping (this is generally the most that I'll ever charge for a shipment to the United Kingdom/Australia.
