What is a Pre-order?
As soon as a manufacturer announces a new item and gives us the go ahead, we will list it for preorder with an expected arrival date. Preorder means we are taking advanced orders for the item. It has either not been released or has not yet arrived in hand to ship out.
Please note, pre-order release dates are subject to change. The dates are based upon the expectation of the manufacturer but delays outside of our control can occur. If you have a question about your preorder please check out our Pre-Orders update page here.
When will my order ship?
All orders placed on our website will be shipped as soon as all items have arrived to fulfill the complete order. Please make note that if you order something in stock and another item that is a pre-order, all items will ship at once when all items are available. Note, arrival times are estimates and subject to change without notice. Please check out our Pre-Order Updates page for additional information about when items are anticipated to arrive.
Why do I have to pay for my pre-order today?
Due to payment authorizations, all pre-orders are charged up front to ensure you receive the item you are buying. Please check out the interest free payment options via PayPal found in your shopping cart to pay over time with Paypal Pay in 4!
Can I cancel my pre-order?
Due to the collectible nature of many of our products, cancelled orders are subject to a 10% cancellation fee that will be applied to your account for future purchases at Comic Spot.
Tell me more about shipping.
All shipments originate from the sunny state of Florida and are typically delivered within 3 to 7 business days (Mon-Fri). Based upon the size and weight of the item, actual shipping charges are calculated and charged. We use a combination USPS and UPS for all shipments with the option of Economy, Express or Expedited services. Orders over $150 to the lower 48 U.S. are eligible for free shipping (certain exclusions apply).
Comic Spot is proud to partner with Route, the leader in package protection and tracking solutions.

In the unfortunate case that your order never comes or is broken upon arrival, you can easily file a claim with Route and receive a replacement or be fully reimbursed. We are excited to offer this service for free to all of our customers!
