Preorder Policy

Preorder Payments

All preorder items are charged at the time the order is placed.

This helps us reserve inventory, submit order quantities, and allocate copies before publisher and distributor deadlines.

Final Order Cutoff

Many comic books, variant covers, and collectibles have a Final Order Cutoff, often called FOC.

Once the FOC date has passed, preorder items cannot be canceled, modified, or refunded.

Preorder Discounts

Preorder discounts apply only to eligible items during the preorder discount window.

Discounts may end once the listed Final Order Cutoff date has passed.

Release Dates & Publisher Changes

Release dates, cover artwork, creative teams, product details, and availability may change without notice due to publisher or distributor updates.

Punky’s Lair is not responsible for publisher delays, allocation changes, product changes, or cancellations outside of our control.

Variant Covers & Artwork

Cover images shown on the website may be preliminary artwork provided by publishers and are subject to change before release.

Final cover artwork, trade dress, logos, pricing, and product details may vary from the images or descriptions shown at the time of preorder.

Allocations & Limited Products

Certain products, including ratio variants, incentive covers, and limited releases, may be subject to allocation by publishers or distributors.

If an item cannot be fulfilled due to allocation limits or distributor availability, Punky’s Lair will contact you and refund the affected item.

Combined Orders & Shipping

Orders containing preorder items may ship together once all items in the order are available unless otherwise noted.

If you would like in-stock items shipped separately from preorder items, additional shipping charges may apply.

Questions

If you have questions about preorder timing, release schedules, covers, or your order, please contact Punky’s Lair before placing your preorder.
