IMPORTANT: We will declare the exact value of the purchase on any necessary customs forms for orders shipped outside the United States. Please do not ask us to declare a lesser value...we will not do so, under any circumstance. Thank you for understanding.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT: Media rate shipping does not apply to comic books and magazines, and we're not going to lie about the contents of the package to our local post office in order to ship it out more cheaply. However, we will be happy to ship book rate if the package is solely comprised of actual books.
