<div>I use Things From Another World <a href="http://www.tfaw.com">www.tfaw.com</a> They are good for small comic book orders. I maybe get about a dozen comics a month, never more than that. If you order comics in a larger bulk than that, you might want to check out Mile High Comics <a href="http://www.milehighcomics.com">www.milehighcomics.com</a> or my old mail order supplier: Keith's Comics out of Dallas, TX. They are at: <a href="http://www.keithsneatstuff.com">www.keithsneatstuff.com</a> They used to be the best deal for me. You'll want the "At Your Service" comic subscription. I used them up until 5 years ago when I had a salaried job and ordered more comics (when you switch to commission-based income, you tend to watch what you get more carefully).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The biggest thing for me is shipping costs, pre-order discount amount, and ease of use. Check out those three. They each have their own advantages. And as long as you order enough and the shipping works to your advantage, you'll wind up saving more in the long run than at a local guy (but don't get me wrong, if I could have bought local I would have, I just either couldn't get those kinds of discounts, where I lived didn't have any stores, or as in the reason I first started going mail order: the proprietor was just plain not nice to deal with).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Good luck.</div><div>Elie</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><br><div><div>On Mar 8, 2008, at 11:22 AM, John T wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PostalCode"> <o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="State"> <o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"> <o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> <o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="Street"> <o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="address"> <!--[if !mso]> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--> <div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Does anyone use an online comic book subscription service?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">If so which one and how do you like it?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">My local store is closing </span></font><font size="2" face="Wingdings"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings">L</span></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">I am lucky as I have several other store options.
