Discount Comic Book Service

[MikeMC005]

Does anyone use this and buy the bundles? If so, is it a better deal than Midtown's Pre-order service? Also when do they switch to the next month. August previews have been released for ~3 weeks now and they are still on July. When Will we be able to pre-order for August?

I do, and I often buy the bundles. I compare the cost of the bundle to what I would pay for the individual issues I might ordinarily get, and if it's close, I'll get the bundle.

I have no experience with Midtown so I can't answer about that.

They usually come out with new order forms somewhere around the first week of the month.

Thank you sir

I've used Midtown in the past and from my experience DCBS is cheaper.

Before I switched to digital, I ordered pretty much all new comics through DCBS and all back-issues through Mycomicshop.
Mostly because there was no local comic shop.
Both are exceptional.

Don't think I ever tried Midtown.
But I will say to avoid Mile High like the plague.

I tried them for a while for new comics, but I still found DCBS cheaper. That was several years ago, though, so it might have changed now?

Mycomicshop is definitely the place to go for back issues though.

And I agree with Lee Stone--don't use Mile High. Man oh man. They're sooooo much more expensive than any other site out there, and (IIRC) they take a while to ship out too. But the main thing is the price. You can get the same back issue, same grade, everything, from Mycomicshop for so much less than Mile High, it's kinda crazy.

Used DCBS off and on for about 10 years and I believe they offer the best discount. Still love em, still the best I have dealt with, besides my local shops who I still use for some of my comics.
They update their site on the 3rd of every month.

Yeah I used my LCS for a long time until my pull list got to be wayyyy too big. My LCS was giving me 10% off anything I pulled and I found out I could get 35% off at Midtown and so that was a easy choice for me.

Do the comics you order from these sites arrive on Wednesday the day the comics come out or a few days later?

[brandnewfan]

I get mine on Fridays.

As for how often, DCBS lets you choose between weekly shipments, monthly, or twice a month.

If Midtown handles their subscriber services with the same incompetence they handle their MARVEL subscriptions---I would avoid Midtown like the plague!
For an example, I'm still waiting for Midtown to send STAR WARS #5--released on MAY 20th. So three phone calls and zero apologies later, I'm still waiting!

One thing I like about DCBS....

After the ordering deadline on more than once, I've decided to drop or add certain books. All it takes is a polite email and they'll take off or add any book you want even after the deadline for editing your order has passed. They also let you add free comic book day items. Also, one time my order was lost in the mail and DCBS sent me a replacement no questions asked.

Has anyone ever used DCBS from Canada? Or is mycomicshop better/cheaper in terms of shipping?

[Uncanny Mutie]

So Wednesday books arrive by Friday and you can choose weekly shipments? Does that cost extra? I might just have to do this, because my monthly pull list has gotten waaaaay too big for just the 10% discount they offer. Also, I get tired of having to tell the folks at my LCS to stop trying to sneak all those ugly, lame variant DC covers into my pull box every week.
