The "Via AusPost" (Australia Post) prices in AUD quoted above are available by Direct Deposit, Cash, Money Order or Australian Bank Cheque only. If paying with PayPal in USD the service is available and includes exchange rate transfer fees and bank charges. That is why the price goes down, the higher up the scale you go. These prices are subject to change at any time. For Australia Post Express Post or Express Post Platinum click here.

Each comic in your order will be individually bagged, Your order will then be protected with two cardboard sheets front and back and then sealed. This is a very safe way of sending Comics through the postal system. You can also add Insurance to your order for $5.00 USD (per $50 USD of coverage) Insurance is also available on Australian orders but, you will have to contact me because every order will be a different price. On average it works out to $3.50 AUD per $100 AUD worth of insurance. Note that the above table is a guide only and if the comics that you order are super-thick then the postage may be more. However I have allowed for a bit of leeway. Any order above 35+ Comics please contact me for an exact quote on my e-mail: webmaster@westcoastcomics.com

Obviously, the more Comics you order the cheaper it becomes per KG. For any order more than 21+ Comics I will get you an exact quote, and again this is a guide only, I have allowed for a bit of leeway. For Annuals and large size comics please contact me. The reason for the overlap on 1-4 & 3-5 is due to the weight restrictions. If the total weight goes over 250g the post office charges more, so it depends on how heavy the comics in your order are. You can also check the PayPal postal quote page for ordering more than 21+ comics.

Discounts for large orders

If you order a large amount of comics or spend a large amount of money then I will work out a discount for you. See the chart below. I am still working on this so, send me an e-mail if you are interested in ordering a large amount of comics. There is no discount available on the Postage & Handling charges but, the more items that you order the cheaper per KG it becomes. AUD is Australian Dollars / USD is United States Dollars.

Discounts must be asked for before the time of purchase or at the time of purchase ONLY, no retroactive discounts can be applied for. Discounts can not always be offered on rare items or items where I only have one or two copies in stock. Best to ask me first!

I have been working on the Discount Rate based on how much money you spend. This will be for customers who would like to choose exactly what items they buy and exactly what grades they want in a large order. These Discounts are subject to change at any time and are only available on multiple purchase orders. For example if one comic is $350.00 unfortunately it is NOT 5% off. However I am flexible on these matters so always ask me via e-mail first!

Discounts for Bulk orders

For very large bulk orders & wholesale bulk orders there is also a SEA-FREIGHT option with a postal rate that is even cheaper! The rates listed on the Bulk & Wholesale comics discount page are subject to change at any time without notice. AUD is Australian Dollars and USD is United States Dollars. Check them out and let me know what you think! CLICK HERE FOR PRICES ON BULK COMICS & WHOLESALE COMICS These deals are available to anyone you do not need to be a retailer to qualify for wholesale prices.

If you have any questions or you would like to place an order send me an e-mail at any time on webmaster@westcoastcomics.com My name is Tom. Thanks for being here!

Exchange Rate Information

When this web site was first conceived the exchange rate to convert to American dollars was around .60¢ on the dollar, then over time it dropped to .50¢ on the dollar and a lot of work was done on the web site to list all of the American prices (which was quite easy as everything was simply ½ the price of the AUD (Australian Dollar). Now if you want to convert to USD (United States Dollars) it is of course much closer to .70 to .80¢ on the dollar, with the strong possibility of going even higher. I have therefore decided that for the purposes of this web site I shall in future assume an exchange rate of .80¢ on the dollar for all PayPal buttons converted to Australian Dollars made after today, ( to make things more confusing of course this rule does not apply if the price of the item was originally in Australian Dollars and I am converting it to USD then I have no choice but to charge whatever today's rate happens to be or could be in the next week or so.) then if the exchange rate goes up or down it should no longer matter. I am basically using the Australian price as the price in USD but if you use PayPal and pay in American dollars it will look like you then get the equivalent of a 20% discount on the listed price. The only other option was to do $1 for $1 and that did not seem fair. This is only for PayPal buttons and not for auction prices or for items that do not have a PayPal button. For items without a PayPal button I shall use the current International Inter-bank Rate +10% which changes every minute of every day and is available for constant updates at: http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic This is the standard rate that most Australian banks charge over the counter. It bears no resemblance whatsoever to the amount listed in the newspaper or on TV every day, try going into your bank and getting that rate! You will soon be very disappointed! The rate listed in the Newspaper and on the TV is the rate at which the Banks themselves trade with each other, not the rate that mere mortals like you and I will receive. All Banks also charge fees on top of the profit that they make on the exchange rate, usually it is between $7 to $10 dollars per transaction, Some banks are even higher! Some like PayPal are lower. All in all, a compromise had to be made for the site and I decided that .80 would now be our permanent exchange rate to USD for PayPal buttons. If you have any questions or would like to make any comments you are welcome to send me an e-mail at: webmaster@westcoastcomics.com And finally after all that I still reserve the right to change my mind at any time as to the exchange rate that I am using as it changes so much & so fast I need to keep my options open.

Today's Exchange Rate for PayPal Buttons is:
1 Australian Dollar = ??.?? US Dollar (this information is no longer updated)

This information is subject to change at any time.
