Comic Central — Local services in Sanford

Comic Central is a very nice shop, the staff are excellent, very helpful and professional. I stop in 1-2 times per month and they always greet me by name, which IMHO shows excellent customer service. Very nice selection of new comics, graphic novels and about 20 boxes of old books available. Lots of statues, figures, Hot Toys, Sideshow figures, Pop figures and other collectables. And I know that if a customer is looking for something, they would do their best to help. Well worth the trip if you live in any nearby area. One review states " They told me I couldn't read a book in the store" well yea ! Its a comic shop, not a library - how would you feel if you went to buy your favorite issue and someone else had read it and bent pages, ect ?

Side note: Some customers today seem to think that they can walk into any store, act in any manner they want to and expect the store owner/staff to treat them with the best customer service. IMO this is NOT true, if you act like an A$$ and are disrespecting the staff, why should they treat you like a respected customer ? That is in fact treating their other customers with disrespect because then the person is disrupting the good customers...

Bought from this owner on Ebay. I left a neutral review, not negative, with the following - "Seller waited 3 days to ship. Comic arrived 5 days past delivery window. It took 2 weeks to arrive. Otherwise good packaging and well secured. Comic in good shape."

They responded with - "Item shipped next business day. P.O. showed all the normal scans, but took 3 days to fully accept. It was the holidays, the local P.O. is busy. eBay's estimated arrival dates are a joke. The package had to travel 3000 miles by ground and considering it came within 10 working business days is a Christmas miracle in itself. Another 'know-it-all' who became an overnight professional eBayer and pro comic buyer. Cracktoast is the perfect user id for this guy, describes him to a 't'."

Instead of messaging privately to work this out they insult me? That's even after praising them for good packaging and the comic being in good shape. On top of that they blocked me too. Seems pretty petty if you ask me. Must have struck a nerve I guess.

Just check out their Womply negative reviews and you'll see how they treat people. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with them as my local...

I've been to a few comic shops in my time, and even if this store is not the closest to me, I always go here because of the friendly, knowledgeable staff. They have a nice assortment of Sideshow figures and other collectibles too. If you cannot find what you want, they can get you just about any title of you ask.

I had stopped collecting comics for a while, but since visiting this shop after a friend introduced me to it, I have since gotten back into it. The great staff at Comic Central definitely had a hand in giving me back my comic book obsession! LOL I am not a hardcore collector that knows ALL the stories in all universes and reboots, and they are more than happy to explain things and help you find new titles that you might like based on your reading history. As an artist myself, I have a thing for really good art, and they usually point me in the right direction.

I definitely recommend this shop to anyone, even...
