Dear Valued Customers,

We regret to inform you that as of April 30, 2025, TFAW.com will be shutting down. The TFAW.com Team would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support, and for making us your comic shop. It’s been a pleasure serving the comic community for over 25 years. Please note: our physical stores located in Milwaukie, OR, Beaverton, OR, and Universal CityWalk, CA will remain open, and we hope to continue serving you in person.
Below are the relevant dates and how they will impact you.
As of the announcement, we will start to remove future preorders that will be impacted by this site closure.
April 9, 2025, will be the last subscription and preorder processing day. Any pending preorders received will be processed this day, regardless of your shipping frequency. We will allow you to remove any preorders from your account regardless of the date they were added if you do not want this last shipment.
April 21, 2025, will be the last day for In-Stock orders on the site so we can ensure all items will be shipped by April 30, 2025. You will be able to access your account up until that date.

Not bothered by this. Sloppy shipping procedures that cost customers money.

Guess we're down to only 79,365 online retailers to choose from.

Heh. I remember when Dark Horse was doing the Old Republic comic book adaptations. TFAW was the only online retailer that had the issues I wanted. So I ended up ordering those with bags and boards.

Then I made a minor edit to my order as I (believe at the time) wanted to change one of my choices. By the time I got said comics, they were mispackaged and limited to being reader copies. No bags or boards.

Called them, found out that my change on said order undid my addition of bags and boards, thankfully got to return those issues, but never ordered from their online shop since then.

Not the worst online store (as my worst experience was tied to a online comic shop that was using Hip Comics), but yeah... Bad on packing.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user

Hip Comic is similar to ebay or mercari. It's not a store, you buy direct from sellers. Hopefully you didn't buy from kermitspad.

Edit: maybe I misinterpreted your post.
