NEC delivery changes

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on January 23, 2003 | Comics,News | Tags:

Nate Mechado of New England Comics has sent us some news on a lower shipping price for foreign customers. Anyone ordering from outside of the US now have the option of $10.00 Global Priority Mail for all orders of 1-12 comics, 1-4 trades, or any acceptable combination of the two.

This will benefit anyone who wants to place a small order, but might have baulked before due to the normal $18.00 shipping charge. Global Mail is pretty fast and does the job very well on orders such as this.
