Hey all,
So I consider myself an avid Manga collector and for the last 4-5 years I've made it a habit to pre-order large quantities of manga months before their release usually through Amazon as I want to try to secure copies during first print runs or as close to initial release, this is especially handy for some of the more popular or limited print series so I try to make pre-orders months in advance or as early as new release listings are up and I've always liked that with Amazon you don't pay until the item has shipped.
Recently I have been very much let down by Amazon fulfilment as some of my pre-orders have been delayed multiple times due to US-UK shipping or print delays or limited UK stock, sometimes on occassion even cancelled outright i.e. Vinland Saga Vol.12 even though I'd pre-ordered so many months prior sometimes even over 12 months before release specifically to try and ensure I get my copy of said book.
I am now trying to find an alternative site where I might be able to start doing my batch pre-ordering that fulfills orders better and I wanted to find out if anyone here has a recommended site or knows any other online store that like Amazon accepts pre-orders months in advance but ideally doesn't charge until shipment?
Any info or recommendations would be much appreciated as I just hate having to chase and find manga volumes after they've released and have become either super rare to find or have gone up in price by ridiculous amounts.
Cheers
