Hold My Shipment
Buy back issues whenever you find them and pay shipping once, when your box ships. How Hold My Shipment works: box prices, dates and refunds.
Buy comics whenever you find them. Pay for each comic as you go. Pay shipping once, when your box ships.
How it works
- Sign in, and at checkout choose “Hold my shipment”. You pay for the comics now; shipping isn’t charged yet.
- Your comics go into your box, bagged and boarded, and stay ours to look after until they ship. The box can stay open for 60 days from your first comic.
- Keep shopping. Every held comic joins the same box, and your account shows what’s in it and what shipping would cost today.
- When you’re ready, press Ship my box and pay one shipping price for everything. We ship within 2 business days, with tracking.
Just ordered and found one more? If your last order is less than 24 hours old and we haven’t packed it yet, choose “Ship with order #…” at checkout and pay only the difference in shipping, often nothing.
Shipping prices for your box
Tracked shipping from York, Ontario. A single issue counts as 1, a trade paperback or magazine as 2, and a complete run or lot as the number of comics in it. Prices in Canadian dollars, before tax. US parcels ship with duties prepaid: nothing to pay on delivery.
| Comics | Canada | USA |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | $7.00 | $13.00 |
| 3–6 | $10.00 | $16.00 |
| 7–15 | $14.00 | $21.00 |
| 16–30 | $19.00 | $30.00 |
| 31–50 | $25.00 | $40.00 |
| 51+ | We email a quote | |
Dates and reminders
- Your box’s ship-by date is 60 days after the first comic you held. It doesn’t move when you add more.
- Need longer? Extend once by 30 days from your box page, free.
- We email you each time a comic joins your box, and before your ship-by date (14, 3 days before, and on the day).
If the ship-by date passes
We email you a shipping invoice for your box at the price in the table. You have 14 days to pay it, and we remind you before the end. If it isn’t paid, we cancel the held orders and refund them to your original payment method minus a 10% restocking fee, and the comics go back on sale.
Changing your mind
You can remove a comic from your box from your box page: a full refund within 7 days of buying it, and the price minus a 10% restocking fee after that. Refunds go to your original payment method.
Questions
Does holding comics cost anything?
No. There’s no fee to hold. You pay for each comic when you buy it, and one shipping price when the box ships.
Can I see what’s in my box?
Yes. My account → Your box lists every comic, the ship-by date, and what shipping would cost if you shipped today.
Can US collectors use it?
Yes. Boxes ship to Canada and the USA, and US boxes go with duties prepaid.
I just ordered. Can I add one more comic without starting a box?
Yes, within 24 hours of your order and before we pack it: choose “Ship with order #…” at checkout.
What if I forget to ship it?
We remind you before the ship-by date, and you can extend once for free. After that, the rules under “If the ship-by date passes” apply.

Good to know
- Your box ships to an address in the same province or state as your held orders, because tax was charged for that place. To ship somewhere else, contact us first.
- Once box shipping is paid, the box is closed. Comics bought after that start a new box.
- Hold My Shipment is for orders shipping to Canada and the USA, placed on this website (not eBay purchases).
