Shipping policy
At Simpleman’s Comics, we know condition matters. Whether you’re ordering a raw comic, graded book, trading card, or collectible, we take care to package every physical order securely so it arrives ready for your collection.
Order Processing
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1–3 business days after payment is received.
Orders placed on weekends or holidays will begin processing on the next business day. During sales, holidays, or periods of unusually high order volume, processing may take slightly longer.
You’ll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information once your order is on the way.
How We Package Your Order
We package collectibles with protection in mind.
Raw comic books are securely bagged and boarded when applicable and protected using rigid cardboard, comic mailers, bubble wrap, or other appropriate protective packaging.
Graded comics and trading cards are carefully wrapped and secured inside sturdy shipping boxes to help protect slabs and cases during transit.
Trading cards are placed in appropriate protective sleeves, holders, team bags, rigid mailers, or boxes depending on the value and quantity of the cards purchased.
Multiple items may be packaged together when doing so provides adequate protection and helps reduce unnecessary shipping costs.
Shipping Rates
Shipping charges are calculated and displayed at checkout based on the items in your order, package requirements, destination, and available shipping service.
Whenever practical, we combine items purchased in the same order into a single shipment.
Tracking
Tracking information will be provided for shipped physical orders whenever tracking is available through the selected carrier.
Please allow up to 24–48 hours after receiving your shipping confirmation for tracking information to begin updating.
Shipping Addresses
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.
If you notice an error in your shipping address, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll make every reasonable effort to update the address before shipment, but we cannot guarantee changes once an order has been processed or transferred to the shipping carrier.
Additional shipping charges may apply if an order is returned because of an incorrect or incomplete address.
Lost or Delayed Packages
Once a package has been accepted by the shipping carrier, delivery times are controlled by the carrier and occasional delays may occur.
If your tracking information shows an unusual delay or your package appears to be lost, please contact us. We’ll work with you and, when appropriate, the shipping carrier to help determine the status of the shipment.
Damaged Packages
We take care to package collectibles securely, but shipping damage can occasionally occur.
If your order arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible and include:
- Your order number
- Photos of the shipping package
- Photos of the packaging materials
- Clear photos of the damaged item
Please keep all original packaging until the issue has been resolved, as the shipping carrier may require photographs or the original packaging for a damage claim.
We’ll review the situation and work with you toward an appropriate resolution in accordance with our refund and return policies.
Multiple Shipments
Some orders containing different types of products may be shipped in separate packages. If this occurs, additional tracking information may be provided for each shipment.
Digital Products
Digital products do not require physical shipping. When purchasing a downloadable product from our Collector Toolscollection, access or download instructions will be provided electronically.
Digital products will not generate a physical shipment unless specifically stated in the product description.
Delivery Estimates
Any delivery dates provided at checkout are estimates rather than guaranteed arrival dates. Weather, carrier delays, holidays, and other circumstances outside our control may affect delivery times.
If you need an item by a particular date, please contact us before ordering so we can help you determine the best available shipping option.
Questions About Your Order?
Questions about shipping or an existing order are always welcome.

One change I would make before publishing
I would not put language like “we are not responsible once USPS receives the package.” That language is common on small collectible sites, but it creates a poor customer experience and can conflict with the practical reality that the seller often needs to initiate carrier claims.
The policy above instead says you’ll help investigate and resolve shipping problems without automatically promising a refund or replacement.
