Let me spill the beans on how I handle your precious comics. π¦π₯ Picture this: Your beloved comics will be nestled in a sturdy box, wrapped in bubble wrap like a Bat-suit of protection. No cheap and flimsy envelopes here! We're talking fortress-level packaging to keep them safe from harm. πͺπ¦ I treat every comic with utmost love and tenderness. They receive a gentle kiss goodnight before I lay down to sleep. ππ ππ¦ΈββοΈ In my quest to help save the planet, I proudly confess: I'm a box-reusing ninja! πͺβ»οΈ Your package might come in an Amazon box, a pizza box, or even a box that once held a life-size cutout of Justin Bieber (don't ask). I'm all about giving those boxes a second life. The only box I wonβt reuse is Pandora's box. You're welcome ππ¦ Now, let's talk about the dynamic duo of shipping carriers. USPS is the Boy Wonder of affordability, always swooping in with free shipping supplies like a cost-saving caped crusader! πΈππ¨ On the other hand, UPS is a bit more like Batman himself: ready to deliver at super speed but with a tad higher price tag. πβ‘π° So, if you're in a rush to receive your package faster than the Batmobile zooms through Gotham's streets, UPS is the Batman to your Robin. Just keep in mind that the Bat-bill may be a little more, depending on your need for speed! π¨πΈ π¦π Now, about those shipping costs: they might seem higher than a mountain goat on a caffeine binge, but there's a reason! Here's where it gets interesting. Picture this: there are certain forces in the online selling world that may want a share of the shipping pie. You know, the hidden hands that like to dip into every transaction. It's like Catwoman trying to grab a slice of Batman's bat-cake! π°π±πΈ So, while I wonβt mention their name (sssh, it rhymes with "he-bay"), let's just say a percentage of the shipping amount that I charge might mysteriously find its way to a secret vault. But hey, we're not pointing fingers here! π€πΌπΈ Lastly, do I combine shipping? Of course! I may wear a cape, but I'm not a comic book monster. Let's save your wallet together, one heroic shipment at a time! π°πͺπ¦ PLEASE NOTE:π Let's talk about those little imperfections you might notice on your CGC case. First up, we've got Newton rings. Sounds fancy, right? But it's really just a case of light getting trapped between two surfaces and creating a mini rainbow effect. So, basically, your comic book is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow π. How cool is that? Next up, we've got inner well scuffing, scratches, and sonic stress lines. Don't worry, your comic book hasn't been in a bar fight or anything like that. These little production mishaps happen during the sonic encapsulation process. No, it's not some kind of superhero power. It just means your comic book was sealed in the CGC case using sound waves. Now that's some high-tech stuff right there! π And the best part? These little imperfections pose no risk to the integrity of the CGC holder. Your comic book is safe and sound, and still looks pretty darn awesome in that CGC case. Plus, imperfections make us all unique, right? So, let your comic book's imperfections be a badge of honor. After all, it's still an awesome addition to your collection! π€ TAXESTAXES WILL BE APPLICABLE AT CHECKOUT. I KNOW. TAXES SUCK BUT WE ALL HAVE TO PAY THE PIPER. THIS IS UNCLE SAM AND EBAY'S DOING. NOT MINE. If you made it to the end of this posting, give yourself a pat on the back, and feel free to treat yourself to a cute cat video (or sock documentary, if that's your thing) as a reward. Feel free to check out the other items in my store. I may not have the largest selection, but it is eclectic. Thank you for browsing.
