Shipping Policy

Effective August 1, 2026

We want your books to reach you quickly and in great shape. Below is the full rundown on how shipping works at OnlyVariants, so there's nothing to guess at when you check out.

Processing Time

Most orders leave our hands within 1–2 business days of purchase. That window can shift depending on order volume, product availability, and things outside anyone's control — severe weather, carrier disruptions, or government closures included. Because comics are tied to publisher release dates, an order that includes a pre-release title waits until that book actually ships from the publisher; we hold the full order and send everything together once it's all in and cleared for release, rather than splitting it into separate shipments.

Shipping Options

You'll pick from the available shipping methods and rates during checkout. We ship using standard national carriers.

Delivery Estimates

The delivery window shown at checkout is based on your chosen method and location — it's an estimate, not a guarantee. Weather, carrier backlogs, publisher release timing, and overall order volume can all move that date.

Shipping Costs

Rates are calculated from your order's weight, the shipping method selected, and your destination, and you'll see the exact cost before completing your purchase. Orders with a subtotal of $100 or more ship free within the United States via USPS Ground Advantage — see the details under Free Shipping below.

International Orders

We don't currently offer shipping outside the United States.

Order Tracking

Once your order ships, you'll get a confirmation email with a tracking number so you can follow its progress on the carrier's website.

Delays

Even when everything on our end runs smoothly, carriers and weather don't always cooperate. We appreciate your patience if your order runs behind schedule.

Address Accuracy

Please double-check your shipping details before placing an order. If something needs to change, contact us right away so we can catch it before your order ships — we aren't able to take responsibility for packages sent to an incorrect or outdated address you provided.

Shipping Restrictions

Some items may carry restrictions related to size or weight. If that applies to anything in your order, we'll note it at checkout or reach out before your order ships.

Free Shipping

Orders with a subtotal of $100 or more (before tax and shipping) qualify for free shipping within the United States via USPS Ground Advantage only; selecting a different shipping method at checkout means this offer won't apply.
