Online Comic Shop Review: newkadia com

As you may know (or not if you're new here) I am a pretty frequent shopper of newkadia.com.
Over the last 3+ years I've placed almost 130 orders and over the last year or so I've started opening each and every order on this channel where you get to see what I get the very second I see it.
The results have been mixed to put it mildly, and sometimes I rant about doing a review of the site and my experiences as a shopper.
Well, that moment has actually arrived and this video will hopefully be the first in a series looking at a number of online comic shops that I have and/or tried to shop at, detailing my impressions and experiences. at each.
Here's a follow-up video showing many more books I bought that weren't as described or even not the same book: • Online Comic Shop Revi...

Great video, and a fair assessment of Newkadia. I think I've ordered from them 7 or 8 times getting over 20 books each time and didn't like their grading on 2 or 3 books. They're great for me but I have a different criteria than a lot of people. I'm in Canada, so the shipping is my first concern. Theirs is good but not great, you really have to spend over 100 bucks to make the shipping worth it. But a lot of online shops are way more for shipping or don't even ship to Canada. Secondly important for me is selection, I only want 80's and 90's back issues and they've got a good selection! Overall I like their shop and I'm generally happy with our transactions. :]

Thank you! I totally agree on the large selection--there are so many online "stores" that only have books from the last 5 years so having a deeper selection is a huge plus. You definitely hit the nail on the head mentioning that your criteria may be different than others' and everyone needs to experience it for themselves and stop taking another person's opinion as fact.

They have some of the worst grading and worst shipping I've ever experienced and I buy a lot of books online. If the book you bought isn't a full grade below what they say it is it will be by the time it gets to you because of their terrible packaging. That cardboard mailer you showed does absolutely nothing to protect the corners if there's any decent impact to the edges of the box, which happens all the time. Truly awful.

In all honesty, I've only had one instance of a package being *really* damaged--to the point where I had to file a claim the the USPS. That, of course, can all be chalked up to good luck on the shipping side of things, although I'd really like to have the books as advertised AND shipped more securely.
