Alpha Comics’ online system provides our customers with an unparalleled level of service for our pull list customers in Western Canada. We’re always adding features – the current list is detailed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have an email and password registered with AlphaComics (in-store), you have the ability to log in to the website www.AlphaComics.ca. This is found at Subscription Service -> My Account<\/a>. This screen shows all your information in one convenient place. This includes your pull list, one-time required books coming in, your keywords and your last 10 pull list removals and why they were removed.\u00a0 You can also request items be added or removed from your pull list from here.\u00a0 This is the preferred method of requesting changes. Its logged and we can make sure it is handled for you in a timely manner (as opposed to emails, Facebook messages, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have an email address registered with us, we will send you a notification for our regular processes. This includes pull list modifications, one-time required items, CGC status updates and changes to your watch list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for back issues but don\u2019t have time to go through every box that comes into Alpha? Let us do it!\u00a0 Have our staff add books to your watch list with minimum quality and max price (if required) and we\u2019ll watch for it and let you know if we get one.\u00a0 Get it somewhere else in the meantime?\u00a0 Just let us know and we\u2019ll take it off your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is how we track your special orders, missed comics, etc. We call them One-Time Required Items. If you special order a trade paperback or previous book, we add it to your one-time list.\u00a0 In addition, when there\u2019s an issue with a book not coming in when it should (like a pull list book), we add it to this list.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also get notifications of items added or removed from this list (and you can see them when you log in to AlphaComics.ca).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever wanted your local comic store to just automatically add any book based on your favorite character?\u00a0 Ask our staff to add it to your keywords list! You can add words you want to include and exclude.\u00a0 For example – if you want all Amazing Spider-man books (like the main story, one-shots, annuals, etc) but don\u2019t want True Believers reprints – that’s easy and we can do that.\u00a0 And if you missed a keyword to exclude and it adds something you don\u2019t want?\u00a0 No big deal, you\u2019ll get an email (if your email is registered) every time something is changed on your pull list.\u00a0 Just reply to the email and let us know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you submit an item to be slabbed, graded and\/or pressed with CGC, we add it to this list so you know when you submitted it to us as well as the current status of the item.\u00a0 CGC processes do tend to take a while to be completed so this feature should give you peace of mind that we are aware of the status of your treasured items. **Note: Alpha is currently not accepting submissions while we clear out the backlog left over from the transition from the old ownership. \u00a0 We expect to be back up and running in the next couple of months (early 2020). Thank you for your patience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On our website, as well as on Facebook once a month, we track the upcoming books for you so you don\u2019t have to! Comic distributors, as well as publishers, are well known for not notifying readers. There are changes to the release date for books all the time.\u00a0 We maintain our own list of releases available for your reference at any time.\u00a0 The best part? If you log in AlphaComics.ca – every pull list comic has a link to when the next book is coming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have 5 or more books on your pull list? That\u2019s 10% off your comic purchases (including non-pull list comics). That extra discount can result in comics cheaper than our competition!\u00a0 Don\u2019t have 5 books or more – no big deal, you can still have a pull list, you just won\u2019t get this juicy discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Frequently updated, our Upcoming Releases on AlphaComics.ca show every book that the distributor has given us a date for. In addition, it includes any revisions we\u2019ve found by manually maintaining our in-house list.\u00a0 When we post these lists to the website, we also write a \u201cbest of\u201d list and post it to social media to get your attention to the books that have a buzz in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This list is available under our Subscription Service menu on AlphaComics.ca<\/a>. It shows the comics coming out the next Wednesday (new comic day).\u00a0 Split out into new books at the top and the others at the bottom.\u00a0 This list doesn\u2019t indicate what books will be in stock at Alpha Comics.\u00a0 You can use this list if you forgot to add a comic to your pull list. We can try to order it in for you and add the next ones to your pull list.\u00a0 *Note that some books may not be available after the initial run.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under our Subscription Service menu on AlphaComics.ca is a feature called Last Call<\/a>. Unless you\u2019re a comic book store, it\u2019s very likely you don\u2019t know when you have to get your comic on your pull list to get it when it first comes out.\u00a0 This list is always available so you can add to your pull list in time for us to get it in for you.\u00a0 Generally, we need to know about 3 weeks before it comes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEmail Notifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
