I am advising everyone to avoid doing business with Another Universe. I
recently placed an order with them and they charged the order to my account
then proceeded to send my order to a completely different person along with
my credit card information on the shipping receipt. I had to change my
number with the credit card company to avoid someone else using my account.
I told them I wanted an immediate refund to my credit account, they then
tried to tell me someone had stolen my card so I had to take this up with
the credit company. I used their secure server. Someone at the order center
just screwed up and shipped the order somewhere else. I finally got the
credit to my account after threatening a supervisor.

AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having seen their catalogue, I can't imagine why anyone would order
from them in the first place. Considering the almost criminal prices
and hype over crap that is in quarter bins at most retailers, I almost
think you should have seen it coming!

this is just another complaint to add to the long list of screw-ups
these guys have brought to the comic book marketplace over the years.
Yeah, they have really pretty catalogues, but all should avoid the mail
order end of the operation.
I go to a show in Tyson's Corner, VA (outside of D.C.) every other month
or so, and they have tables there. The people they have working them are
pretty helpful, and they have a bunch of the stuff they advertise.

Just a word of advice-

dang alan,

you make it sound like it was his fault he got screwed by them!!!! just
because the guy didn't know better than to do buisness with Another
excus... i mean universe, don't mean he deserved it. would you say it
was a womans fault she was raped because she didn't know better than to
walk down a certain street after dark?

as far as another universe goes, yeah, rumor is they suck. a LOT of
gripes get posted here about them. REMEMBER, just having a slick
website/catalog don't mean they are good folk to do buisness with. heck,
any bozo can have a slick mailer and website nowadays.
