Hello again, everyone,
As we’re sure you’re aware of by now, the “New York State on PAUSE” executive order is now in effect. Beyond requiring us to close our doors to in-person shopping, it would seem that the order also applies to our curbside pick-up plan as well.
Direct to You!
Instead, we’re working on the logistics of a “mail to you” system. We are offering to invoice you via PayPal and mail your automatic pulls, any specific new release requests, and any additional items you would like, directly to your doorstep. This includes things such as comic supplies, trade paperbacks, back issues, games, and science and activity kits. (If PayPal is NOT an option for you, please contact us so we can work out an alternate payment method.)
The outline at this point is that requested invoices would be sent out Tuesday evenings or Wednesday mornings, and shipping would take place on Wednesday afternoons. Any week that you will want an order shipped just let us know prior to Wednesday morning to allow us time to weigh, invoice, and pack your items.
Having your mailing address on file in advance would be helpful, so if you have an interest in this service, please feel free to email us now. Filing your address with us is not a commitment to receive a shipment, but it will expedite things if you opt for one.
The shipping cost would be nominal; some preliminary research shows that Priority shipping would be between $7.35 and $9.00 for 5 to 30 comics or 1 to 5 trade paperbacks.
To encourage you to give this a try — Wonderland will offer to cover the postage cost for any shipment through April 8th!
New Releases & Pulls!
Despite everything, at the moment we are expecting deliveries to arrive as previously scheduled and are ordering new product accordingly. We encourage all of our customers to keep tabs on the week’s releases via our Friday email or on our website. PreviewsWorld also has a comprehensive list of the newest releases, along with images and blurbs, for easy browsing. Let us know if you see something you want saved.
Speaking of Previews, did you know that they offer a complete online catalog for future releases as well? It’s never to early to start looking for the hottest new books for the summer — again, if you see something you’d like to preorder or add to your list, just ask.
Now is also the perfect time to do any pruning to your pull list. Whether it’s because of the current world situation or because you’ve simply lost interest in a title (or gained it!), please let us know as soon as possible if there are changes you’d like to make regarding your pulls. We’re happy to work with you to get your list where you want it.
Keep Updated!
Once again, this is an evolving situation, and our schedule and plans may change accordingly. We will keep you informed of any updates both via email and through our website, Twitter, and Facebook.
Let us know how we can serve you, and thank you very much for your patronage and your patience. Take care, stay home, and be well!
