IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Beginning mid-August 2025, our eBay listings will feature only top-selling titles accompanied by images, presented as individual products rather than through drop-down menus as before. This conventional method involves listing significantly more items, which limits the number we can offer within budget.

For all open-order titles and/or variants, we advise checking the main page, where the full selection is available at a lower cost. However, we continue to avoid listing Incentive covers until quality inspections have been conducted.

Furthermore, we aim to list titles (on eBay) a month in advance where possible, this is however gated on us receiving data from our supplier.

^{THE BORING STUFF ⬇️}

• What We Do:

We compile all Final Order Cut-offs (FOCs) for each comic book on a weekly basis.

We submit our orders to our distributor, adjusting quantities as necessary.

The distributor fulfils our order; however, occasional shortages may occur, a situation common to all retailers.

We verify order accuracy and conduct a comprehensive quality assessment of each item received.

We provide bagging and boarding services at no additional charge.

We fulfil customer orders, allocating the best available copies on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Ratios:
  

Upon achieving the established order volume targets, we will proceed with ordering incentive covers for the designated titles. Publishers may provide incentives for orders ranging from 5 to 2000 units.

We will only display these ratios once we have verified the safe receipt and readiness for dispatch of the inventory. The website will be given priority in the allocation of all inventory, while our eBay store will receive the incentives at a later time.

This allocation strategy is necessitated by the limited print of the runs. Please note that the pricing of each variant will be subject to market demand.

• Returns Policy:
  

All sales of comics, trade paperbacks, hardcovers, and omnibus editions are final. However, pre-orders that have not yet been finalized with our supplier may be cancelled prior to the Final Order Cut-off (FOC) deadline, which is Thursday evening before the advertised FOC date. While not ideal, we respect your consumer rights.

Due to the limited print runs and periodical nature of these items, they are exempt from returns under the Distance Selling Act. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we do not accept returns on comics, trade paperbacks, hardcovers, or omnibus editions.

Similarly, due to the element of surprise inherent in blind pack items, all blind boxes are also non-returnable.

For all other collectable items, we offer a 14-day return period for change-of-mind returns. The buyer is responsible for the cost of return shipping. Items must be returned in the same condition as received.

• Shipping from the main page:
  

For a flat rate of £2.50, we will select the postal service. Please be aware that your purchase will be fully financially covered, although the provider will be determined by us. We have implemented a new shipping protocol: all comics will now be dispatched in rigid mailers to ensure secure transit. 

• Shipping on eBay:
  

The pricing structure is set at £2.25, with an additional charge of 25 pence per item. Please note that eBay's checkout process incurs significantly higher fees on our end. Therefore, this method is the only viable option to balance those fees. The maximum charge will be capped at £4.

Again, all comics will now be dispatched in rigid mailers to ensure secure transit. We hold a steadfast conviction that minimal packaging is inadequate for the standards of this industry.

• Delivery Timing:
  

Our objective is to ensure the timely delivery of your purchased items.

Typically, we receive our deliveries every Wednesday, which we refer to as the "PL" (Pick-List). However, due to potential delays from our distributors, receipt of goods may extend to Friday (as we are subject to their shipping schedules). 

Upon receipt, our process involves discrepancy checks, quality control, bagging and boarding, packaging, and mailing, with the goal of completing these steps by the weekend. Please note that, as a small team, processing times may vary depending on order volume.

Kindly be advised that orders containing pre-sale items will be shipped together. For those requiring immediate shipment of in-stock items and pre-sales, we recommend placing separate orders to expedite the delivery of available merchandise.

• Bagging + Boarding:
  

All books are provided bagged and boarded unless otherwise specified. While bagging is not mandatory, we can offer a slight discount reflecting the material cost if you prefer your comics in a raw state. Please contact us if this option is of interest.

• Grading:
  

Our commitment is to provide the highest quality copies available, and we cannot guarantee specific grades for raw books. We strive to deliver the best possible condition upon receipt. Comic books may exhibit minor imperfections, including printing errors, smudge marks (more visible on white covers), ink lines/bleeds (more apparent on coloured covers), minor spine creases, and slight corner imperfections. These are standard industry characteristics, and while we are dedicated to providing excellent service, returns may not be accepted for these types of issues.

We kindly request that you contact us prior to leaving any negative feedback, as we are committed to supporting our community.

Any in-stock items with significant flaws will be clearly identified and listed separately. For general listings, please consider the information provided above. Additional photos are available upon request. If the image is a stock photo, we will provide the best available copy.

As a standard practice, we only ship items that meet our own quality standards.

• Additional Important Supplier Notes:
  

Our suppliers provide us with stock images, artist information, and release dates. When placing an order with Spooky Electro, please note that you are ordering by the distributor SKU/UPC number, which is associated with these elements. These details may be subject to change without prior notification. For instance, DC often releases new titles with Virgin images initially, as the Trade Dress image may not be available for publication. If a Virgin image is displayed, and the cover title does not specify "Virgin," it is assumed that the Trade Dress cover will be provided. For any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

In the rare event that our distributors are unable to fulfil our orders (a situation that can affect any business), we may be forced to cancel items from our customers' orders. This is beyond our control. We understand the frustration this may cause. In such instances, we are prepared to offer a small discount as a gesture of goodwill. While our budget is limited, we are committed to providing the best possible service. Thank you for your understanding.
