Shipping & Handling at Black Dragon Comics

At Black Dragon Comics, we are collectors first. We know there is nothing worse than receiving a long-awaited comic only to find it damaged by flimsy packaging. That’s why we’ve designed a premium shipping process to ensure your books arrive in the same condition they left our shop.

The Black Dragon Standard

For all items shipped directly from our warehouse, we provide:

Heavy-Duty Packaging: We use sturdy, crush-proof Uline boxes (not flimsy bubble mailers).

Internal Protection: High-value books, including Ratio Variants and Signed Editions, are "sandwiched" between corrugated pads for maximum rigidity.

Full Insurance: We include insurance on every single order we ship at no additional cost to you.

Publisher-Direct Shipping (Drop-shipped Items)

Some items on our site are shipped directly from the publisher to get them to you as quickly as possible.

Identification: Every product page clearly indicates if an item is shipped by "Black Dragon Comics" or a "Publisher."

Shipping Methods: Please note that while we hold our internal shipping to the highest standard, we cannot guarantee the specific packaging materials used by third-party publishers.

Multiple Packages: If your order contains both in-stock items and publisher-direct items, they will arrive in separate packages.

We process orders Monday - Friday. We are closed on Weekends and Holidays. Most orders are fulfilled within 2 business days depending on volume of orders received.
