Do not order any subscriptions. They will withhold issues that they determine to be valuable, and sell them individually for an insane markup. The withheld an issue from my subscriptions and essentially said "read the fine print". Just a bunch of losers pretending to run a legit business.

They will advertise comics as near mint and then send you damaged lower grade versions. When you complain they will ask for you to pay the shipping to return them and will only give store credit. Their customer service is terrible. Very shady company with very unscrupulous business practices. Please avoid.

Have bought from them for years although their gift certificates are difficult/complicated to redeem. Customer service often inaccurate and some ordered items could suddenly be cancelled. On my last order, they decided to not provide free shipping like they always did before or like they still state on their website and wanted to charge me $50, refusing a refund option. After a month or so of messaging and threatening to report their unethical practice, they sent the books for free shipping (for the last time). Don't know why they alienate perfectly loyal customers.

Via Marvel meerdere Print Comic Subscriptions (4!) lopen welke op een enkel issue na allemaal niet aankomen. Lijken meer dan 3 maanden vertraagd en nog steeds geen comics op de deurmat. Lijkt erop dat internationale verzending ver benedenmaats is. Maak niet dezelfde fout als ik heb gemaakt en neem geen internationale abonnementen bij hun! Zoek een andere online dealer (of de lokale stripwinkel)!

Midtown Comics are committed to shipping valuable comics to International customers in USPS Flat Rate Envelopes without the necessary standard protection of its contents and in the full knowledge that these comics can be damaged in transit as a result. Myself and others before me, have suffered loss as a result of this inconsiderate and unethical policy.
