Such a weird case of casing the joint in looking for clues when a mysterious CD turns up in the post. The kind that features music, that audio thing they play on the back of ice cream trucks and before the fingerprint slide show at the cinemas.

Look long and hard enough and in the right place, answers lie and they be there. Of course, it's all in the execution and perception of "the right place." As it always does.

On the topic of mail...

Just wanted to know how I can go about having a comic book mailed out. I'm interested in a comic/graphic novel being released this week.

Could you please email me a product price list for your mail order service?

I like to know the postage cost for 3 comic orders to Western Australia.

Yes, conglomeration is good, when making three emails into one chunk that carves a nice slice of cheese what melts on the hood of a sugar cube station wagon.

Back on topic, mail order service of the Comic Shop is a free service. Only costs to bear with paws are that of the actual comics themselves and the postage to ship them to the destination.

Order about with a request via email, fax or phone on the specific title as well as a delivery address.

Usual costs around Australia, for say about a handful of comics (be serious), is $5 on the postage.

With the cost of the comics to send and the postage, then comes the money order made out to "the Comic Shop" to be delivered to the PO Box. Address in this case being:

the Comic Shop
PO Box 3330
Liverpool Westfields NSW 2170

Then comes the short wait with Australia Post delivering the titles in question.

And there it is, a quasi subscription comics service we call mail order.

 

Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been back in the kicking of vampire teeth and staking of their hearts for two issues now and looking well to hammer out many more months for season eight can only be done through the comics.

Naturally, there are interested folk in flicking through the past materials strewn over and across the Whedonverse.

I was wondering if you had any back issues of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel or Fire Fly magazines. If you do, could you let me know how much it would cost and if it would be possible to send anything I buy through the mail.

Battleship hits on Buffy and Angel back issues. Spotty at times, but still a good hit for the tanker sitting next to the tug boat.

Firefly, not so much. More the Serenity in that case. Released at first as a mini-series, now collected and sold in the trade paper back form. Sitting shorter than the original release print, but still swearing as much in Chinese.

For any comic or trade, the prices will be listed on the bagging of the bagged and boarded comic themselves. For postage, it will depend on the location, but usually no more than $5 for those mail hits within the great state of New South Wales.

Ordering things from the Comic Shop is doable and there are no handling or packaging costs at all, ever, when using the mail order service.
