<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>As an overseas (i.e. non-U.S.)
collector of Disney back issues and new Gemstone comics, I have had
considerable experience in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>ordering via internet.
MileHighcomics,Denver, use either FedEx or United Parcel Service to ship
international. This is much more</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>expensive than air mail.
Mycomicshop.com, Lone Star Comics in Dallas Texas, which previously had
connection with MileHigh, ship</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>international using regular air
mail in parcel boxes. This usually takes several weeks to arrive. I have
requested both MileHigh and<BR>>>>>LoneStar by email to use Global
Priority Mail Envelopes but they do not seem particularly
interested.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>For back issues both
NostalgiaZone.com, Minneapolis Minn. and Ksacomics.com, Amarilo Texas, use the
Global Priority Envelopes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>as their standard. Both provide
excellent service. Nostalgia Zone web site does not show pictures of the comics
but their grading is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>correct. Ksa shows pictures but
they are rather pricey on the more recent back issues.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>For the new Gemstone comics, I find
that NewEnglandcomics.com, Boston, provide excellent service and use the
Global Priority</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>Envelope. Another possibility for
the new comics is Midtowncomics.com, New York City; they give a good discount on
their comics</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>>>and will use the Global Priority
Envelope if requested. However they appear to be a big outfit and I have had
difficulty because some of<BR>>>>>their employees don't seem to be
able to address mail properly. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your detailed account,
Marvin!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Global Priority is indeed a very good shipping
method. I have received several books and Cinefex back issues, all within a week
indeed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have already ordered from MidtownComics; as my
mother happened to go to News York for professional reasons, she picked up the
parcel in the store; she told me they were very nice indeed. They don't have the
Disney or other issues I'm looking for, so I tried MileHighComics-- hence my
question.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will check all the other sites as
well.</FONT></DIV>
