I really tried to support them but I couldnāt do it anymore to always be treated like I needed to do more as a customer. I will say new releases come bagged and boarded which is nice but if you go to fanfair you can save 20% off new releases and buy bags and boards with the money you save.
In responseĀ to the owners' reply, I just want to say that I have nothing but love for local comic shops, including yours even if it's not where I choose to shop and hope theĀ best for yourĀ business. That being said, I left my review based on my personal experience which I guess from your responseĀ I was the outlier and all of yourĀ customers enjoy howĀ you operate. If so I don't know why I was treated differently. I was kinda taken aback how defensive your responseĀ was. I would have thought if anything it would have been something like, "I'm sorry for your experience, we appreciateĀ your business and would like to clear the air if possible... etc". I mean not that I would or wouldn't have but at least it would have shown you tried to find aĀ resolution.

I had to email them to be told "sorry our inventory is completely been updated, and we are in transition to a different platform, we apologized for the inconvenience". I accepted that. Email 7/21 said the rest of the order was on its way. 7/27 FedEx Tracking showed it has not been received by them yet. Emailed Rocket Comics on 7/27 no response, but the package was brought to FedEx that day. Received package on 7/31. The order was missing the poster I ordered. On top of that, they gave me a second printing (Godzilla vs Spider-man) of a comic when I ordered a First Printing with the receipt showing I ordered a First Printing. Did they email me No I had to email them about the missing Poster and the wrong Issue. Got refunded for the poster but as of today no correction for giving me the Second Printing when I ordered the first. It is Bad business to not reach out to customer when they make payments expecting what they ordered and not receiving it. For me to have to constantly reach...
