Mirage = fast?

PAAATE · 11-17-2009, 06:26 AM

When I ordered a few books the site said it would take 2-3 weeks to deliver.

I paid the 5th of November
They received the payment the 9th of November
I got the comics today

Are they always this fast? I didn't really count on getting the comics until next week, so this was an extremely pleasant surprise.

Maybe they're just trying to empty out the back orders as quick as they can...?

I always received mine in about three business days when I used a card. And that's coming from MA to AL. I'm not sure with other methods.

Depends. I've always waited longer then I was supposed to with Mirage. I've even received crushed posters.

Well, when you're shipping with media mail, which they usually are, how fast something arrives is mostly in the hands of the post office. Sometimes media mail can get to its destination really fast, about as fast as standard mail. But sometimes it can take several weeks to months.

After the day it ships, most Media Mail experience on my end says to add a day for every state between Point A and Point B to how long it will take to get to you.

Yeah, but this must've been ****ing fast

8 days (well, 6 work days) to get them on an air plane to Sweden, take them through customs, and then ship them down here in southernmost Sweden where I live

When a friend of mine bought something on eBay, his package was in customs for a week

Anyway, I have no idea what I did to deserve this, but I was thrilled about it

I ordered a TPB from them on Friday and it shipped today. I'll let you know when I get it.

Haven't ordered too much from Mirage but the one time I did to fill out my collection they were surprisingly fast. It was a very pleasant experience.

I got my order today, and I placed it on the 11th of this month. Not bad, but I wouldn't call them fast.
