Pre Ordered items are kept separate from regular store/website inventory so your orders will be available even if the MK1 site indicates an item has sold out.

We appreciate your help in keeping order admin to a minimum - we aim for a done-in-one transaction where we only have to notify customers once.   If you are waiting for other preorders to arrive to combine shipping  the MK1 site has a "hold aside option" : At the checkout under SHIPPING select the Hold in store to ship with a future order (and we will automatically ship with the next order you place that includes a delivery fee).  When you do decide to it's time to receive your comics  we invite any customer with a Preorder with MK1 to choose the lower MK1 Comic Club shipping $5 rate - add this to your next MK1 order and we will automatically include all your previous paid orders.
