Refunds and Returns

RETURNS

Dark Dominion Comics accepts the return of comics damaged in transit or due to retailer error up to 10 days after delivery. Unfortunately, if the 10-day window has passed we cannot offer a refund or exchange. 

NOTE: We DO NOT allow cancellations or refunds on any pre-sale.

In the case of damaged or mis-shipped orders, please contact us at <sales@darkdominioncomics.com> Please remember to include your name and your order number.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused, in the same condition that you received it, and must also be in the original packaging.

Non-returnable items include (but are not limited to):

  • Gift cards
  • Downloadable software products
  • Pre-Ordered Comics of any other type of Pre-Order
  • Mystery Boxes of any kind
  • Store Exclusive Comics

Under certain situations, partial refunds may be granted for non-condition-related issues (if applicable), such as items missing parts for reasons other than our error.

CONDITION & GRADING DISCLAIMER

Comic book grading is subjective. All comics sold by Dark Dominion Comics are graded conservatively using standard industry definitions. Minor manufacturing or handling imperfections are common in modern comics and are not considered damage.

Condition assessments are based on the listed grade only. Product images are provided by publishers or distributors for reference purposes and do not represent the exact copy being sold.

Disagreement with a listed grade or condition assessment does not constitute damage or misrepresentation and is not grounds for a return, refund, or exchange.

Minor manufacturing or handling imperfections consistent with the listed grade do not affect the functionality, completeness, or authenticity of the comic.

By completing a purchase, the customer acknowledges and accepts the listed grade and understands that minor manufacturing or handling imperfections consistent with that grade may be present.

Returns or refunds will not be approved based on a customer’s subjective expectations of condition, grading standards, or personal definitions of Near Mint, Very Fine, etc.

Dark Dominion Comics is not a third-party grading service, and all raw comics are sold as-is within the stated grading framework, and no guarantee is made that the exact copy will visually match any stock or promotional image.


REFUNDS

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you regarding the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.

If the item was canceled or returned under no fault of our own, a 5% fee will be applied to the refund.

We do not offer partial refunds based on condition disputes, grading disagreements, or cosmetic imperfections disclosed or visible in listings.


COMICS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND OR RETURN

The following conditions and circumstances do not qualify as damage, defects, or misrepresentation and are not eligible for refunds, returns, or exchanges:

Examples include but are not limited to:

  • Comics that have cover artwork which do not match the advertised cover art—given the comic is the correct issue and correctly advertised variant (i.e. CVR A, B, C, etc.). (Please remember, comic covers are subject to change as the cover art shown is provided to us by the Publisher.)

  • Comics with manufacturing defects, pressable flaws, or reasonable wear consistent with the listed grade. Dark Dominion Comics advertises a condition grade of 9.2 or higher for new titles unless specifically noted. Admissible imperfections include, but are not limited to: printer burn, color rub, minor spine ticks, bindery tears, minor edge wear, off-centered cover art or trade dress, or other manufacturing or handling characteristics beyond our control.

  • Pre-Ordered Comics of any kind—including Store Exclusives, books ordered in our FOC Section or Pre-Order section. If it is not in stock, we cannot offer a refund. If you still wish to cancel a pre-order, we may allow a store credit on a case-by-case basis. A cancellation fee may apply.

  • Any comic as part of a Mystery Bundle (Please note that our Mystery Bundles are pretty dope, however.)


LATE OR MISSING REFUNDS

If you haven’t received a refund yet, please perform the following:

  • First check your bank account again
  • Then contact your credit card company—it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. 
  • Next, actually contact your bank—there is often some processing time before a refund is posted. 
  • If you’ve done all of the above and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at <sales@darkdominioncomics.com> Please remember to include your name and your order number.


SALE ITEMS

Unfortunately, sale items cannot be refunded. Only regular priced items are eligible for refunds.
