We have a massive inventory at Third Eye, and it’s ever-changing, so sometimes items may not be live on the site immediately. 

Give our flagship store, Third Eye Annapolis, a ring anytime MON-SAT 11AM-9PM EST or SUN 11AM-6PM EST, at 410-897-0322 & our team can check availability & help you place your order via phone!

For all  IN-STOCK orders placed MON thru FRI, your order will process & ship within 3-5 business days.

Please note: advisories during holidays will notify you if there is a 1-2 day delay in processing and shipping.

If an order has pre-order items in it, your order will ship once all of the items in your order have been released to us and are in stock and available to ship.

If you have in-stock items that are part of that order you would like to receive sooner; please place them as a separate order from your pre-orders, or contact service@thirdeyecomics.com to notify us that you’d like to be charged shipping on the in stock items in the order, and have them shipped now.

For newly in-stock items (i.e new comics releasing that week), your order will ship within 48 hours of release or sooner.

1 - You can order it directly through the product link on our site
2 - You can call in 410-897-0322 anytime MON-SAT 11AM-9PM EST or SUN 11AM-6PM EST and inquire with us about placing an order, and our team can take your order via phone.

Yes! Just like our brick-n-mortar stores, our online store is run by a team of real deal Third Eye peeps, and you know us: we’re good at helping you out!

Just email service@thirdeyecomics.com with the order request, and as long as your order has not already shipped, we can add these items to your order & bill you the difference via invoice or web link.

Pre-Orders are for items not yet in stock with Third Eye, but have been advertised to us by the manufacturer.

They are the best way to guarantee you’ll get a hot new item without risk of it selling out upon release.

When you pre-order an item, we will have the estimated in stock date listed in the product description. Please be aware: dates do change, and when notified by the suppliers of this, our team will email you to update you on your product status.

In some rare events, manufacturers do not provide an update on delays, but if you are ever curious about the status of your preorder, just email: service@thirdeyecomics.com and our team will respond within 24 hours to let you know.

Yes! :) Your pre-order is secure, and will be filled upon release, without any delay! Even though the item listing may say sold out -- that has no impact on your pre-order item if you made your purchase while the item was available for pre-order! :)

Absolutely! Just select in-store pick-up when checking out, along with the location you wish to pick-up at, and our team will process your order so it goes to that store.

Most of the stock we have available for purchase that’s not a pre-order item is available for same-day pick-up. Our team will contact you once your order has been processed & is ready for pick-up. It’s just like ordering your favorite takeout. :)

Please note: some items are not always in-stock at that location, and may need to be shipped from our warehouses to that store, which can add up to 5 business days of transit time.

With that being said: our team will notify you once your items are in-store and ready for pick-up.

Most of the images you see on our website are stock images of product from our distributers. Sometimes these stock images are not always accurate or may not be the final product image. We always deliver our collectibles in the best conditon we can but we do not guarantee stock image perfection.

We do our best to deliver the best looking product to you all! All of our figures & collectibles are shipped out in the same condition they were recieved from our distributers (which can be a little rough sometimes!). So we do not guarantee a specific grade of an item.

The display box may have creases or dents from shipping or the hang tab may be punched out due to display in our brick and mortar store.  We would not consider these to be defects to the product.

We cannot guarantee that action figures, statues and other collectibles will be shipped in the original cardboard box used by the distributor but will have all other original packaging unless otherwise noted.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.

This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.

OUR STANDARD

Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.

We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:

•  CBCS Comic Grading Scale
•  Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
• CGC grading standards

If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.

WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8

Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics, and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every retailer.

A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.

We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.

WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4

Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:

Bindery characteristics:

• Minor to moderate corner tears
• White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
• Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)

Printing characteristics:

• Slight color rub on back covers
• Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
• Wavy paper texture from the printing process

Spine characteristics:

• 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
• Minor non-color-breaking spine dings

These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless of retailer.

OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY

We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.

We will replace or refund:

• Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
• Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
• Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped

For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.

Please note: in the instance where an item is not in stock at a Third Eye location, there may be a delay as the item is shipped from our warehouses or another Third Eye location for you. Our team will contact you via email to notify you of this delay.

When you visit the store to pick-up your item, just let the staffer know your first & last name, and they'll grab your items for you! 

Yes we do. Put the forwarding service's address as your order's ship to address. Please be aware that unless your forwarding service opens the package and reports the damage to us before forwarding it on, we are not responsible for any damage sustained in transit.
