Coast City Comics & The Fun Box Monster Emporium — Local services in Portland

This review simply covers my online shopping experience. I've never been to Maine or this store and I live on the other side of the country, but I bought an action figure from these guys. That's nothing unusual for me, but the customer service and presentation surprised me so much I wanted to write an accolade. My purchase shipped very quickly and was packaged cleanly and professionally. Shipping was updated through email with status updates (shipped, coming soon, out for delivery, etc). When it comes to packaging and shipping, I'm usually a pragmatist with a "whatever works" mentality; as long as it gets to me in one piece, I don't care that much. That said, I was surprised to see my second-hand item had been repackaged in the store's custom card and bagging which was very classy looking. In addition, the hand-written thank you note was a nice touch. First impressions only take moments, but mine was that these guys actually care about their product, their customers, and their image. This is not some eBay-flea market-flip operation that I can tell. It's remarkable what the little touches can do to change an experience and I'm surprised to find I actually cared but I do. Thanks for a great...

Although I, sadly, haven’t visited the store in person yet, I will absolutely make sure to if I ever go to Portland Maine! I got a hard to find, at least locally, Redhood and the Outlaws issue online and it came within the expect shipping time at such a reasonable price! The packaging it came in was both super cute and super secure for my comic, making it unique and leaving me doubtless that my comic will be harmed in shipping. The store’s newspaper and Batman symbol like logo sticker were a nice touch, and the comic is both packaged nicely and in pristine condition. Very impressed and surprised by the overall quality of my order, and I will definitely be turning to this shop if I need to find another comic again!

Also the big bubbles on the bubble wrap were fun to pop, and much more entertaining than the smaller ones would have been, so bonus...
