Condition of Books:
Every comic is inspected for condition before it leaves our
warehouse. Books are guaranteed to be in Fine Condition (the vast majority
of what we sell is Very Fine to Near Mint, but sometimes lesser books slip
through the cracks).
Books are graded using the industry standard grading guidelines as
prescribed by the The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide Copyright 2006 Gemstone Publishing Inc.
For a more detailed description of these grading terms http://www.gemstonepub.com/archive/06_grading.asp
Packaging:
When shipping your books we take the utmost care to insure the condition of your books
upon arrival.
All our books are bundled in lots of up to 15 books in a standard comic or magazine bag with a backing board. The bundle is then securely affixed to a ridged cardboard backer.
Orders of up to 15 comics are then affixed
to a 2nd ridged cardboard backer, sandwiching the books between the 2 pieces of cardboard, placed in a cardboard
mailing envelope, then shipped. Larger orders are bundled in the same manor, but stacked in a large ridged
cardboard shipping box that is form fitting to the card boarded bundles to not allow sliding or shifting during
shipping. Please note that for extremely large orders that have opted for free parcel post shipping, we reserve
the right to use alternate packaging methods to accommodate the orders size, but still retain the same packaging
integrity.
All orders are accompanied by an easy to read invoice.
Shipping:
We ship all orders via USPS. Our standard shipping and handling rates allow for your books to be
shipped via USPS Priority shipping (USPS Priority is 2-3 transit time). Orders usually leave our warehouse with in 24 hours of payment confirmation
from Pay Pal. Please allow 24-72 hours for very large orders to be processed, especially during high volume shopping
seasons. Orders of 100 comics from our regular inventory (weekly specials do not add to the book total for free shipping) or more are elligable
for free Parcel Post shipping (USPS Parcel Post is 4-10 days transit time).
We currently do not ship internationally.
Returns and Damages:
We can only guarantee the condition of your comics as handled by Fearless Readers Online. We are not
liable for comics that are damaged by the USPS. We highly recommend taking the insurance option for shipping. If a comic
does arrive in less than Fine Condition (and was not damaged by USPS in shipping), we will gladly replace it
or refund your money for the book. Please direct all damage and return questions and correspondences to
customer_service@fearlessreadersonline.com Just to reiterate, if we ship a book to you that fell through the cracks
of our grading and is less than Fine Condition, we will gladly refund or replace the book. If your comics arrive
mangled by the carrier or get soaked by the rain on your porch, unless you took the shipping insurance option, we
are sadly unable to help.
Misfiled / Mislisted Books
While we do strive to make sure that all the books in our inventory
are listed properly and filed correctly in our warehouse, due to the
enormous
volume of books that we deal with, occasionally books are misfiled or
mislisted. On those rare occasions that a customer places an order for a
book that was mislisted in our inventory or is misfiled in the warehouse
and unable to be located, the customer will be offered their choice of
two options. We will contact the customer via e-mail to apprise them of
the misfiled/mislisted book. At the customers discretion we can either,
fill the order with an alternate book of the
customers choice or issue a refund check to the customer via USPS mail.
