    Default Little Help Needed.

    Hey all! Does anyone know what trustworthy U.K online stores ships to Finland? I want to get some Batman Comics and don't know where to buy since the online stores in Finland don't seem to have them. I'm currently looking to read the Year One arc, Knightfall arc and maybe others mostly interested in the No Man's Land arc too. Also, I'm quite interested in X-Men/Wolverine stories too, recommend me some.

    Seriously? A week and two days with no posts? What's wrong with this place?

    I would wager that few of us have ever had the need to get comics shipped from the UK to Finland.

    Well, you could check it if your favorite online comic book store ships to most of EU (Which usually ships to Finland if it says that.).

    Amazon.uk and Bookdepository.co.uk are the best ones if you want UK based stores... And they send everywhere in Europe with free shipping (Amazon gives free shipping for orders over 25£).

    Bookdepository is a little bit pricier and slower, but it's better for small purchases (like one book) because all their orders have free shipping. I do recommend you compare prices in both stores before buying.

    Actually, I know of those two book stores and have used them but now I'm kind of looking for some single issues of the New 52 Batman comic and those two stores don't sell single issues. Btw: It does not need to be U.K store it can be U.S one if I don't have to wait more than 1 & ½ weeks for it to arrive and the shipping shouldn't be too expensive.

    I know that these guys ship internationally - http://www.ltd-edition-comix.com/

    Really nice and helpful guys too. I'd make them my first port of call.

    I've also used Reed Comics: (http://www.reedcomics.com/postage-i-3.html) A few times too, and just checked, they also ship internationally.

    Finally I'd try these: http://www.disposableheroes.co.uk/

    Can say from personal experience that all three are decent, with speedy delivery to the UK at least.

    Exactly.

    Plus Nocte,
    you could do it in Finnish, or from/for where you'd be, better or more easily than anybody else most likely.
    Apparently you have net access, so why not put it to use? Break a leg.

    Well none of Finnish online stores seem to sell single issue comics only Trade Paperbacks and collections (like Marvel Essentials and Showcase Presents, occasionally Omnibuses.) So yeah, I'm stuck with online stores from U.S/U.K to get the single issues I would want.

    Then search, do a search for what shops you would be looking for, instead of the ones you wouldn't be looking for.

    If you type stuff into Google from where you are, in Finnish, then the results coming up as following the most bought or corporate results, those would likely serve you most specifically?
    Plus any large online comics stores from either the US or Europe will likely ship to Finland, I'd think.
