How To Read Your Package List

Package Lists contain a lot of information, but basically tell us (and you) what you currently have on order. There are many variations (serving different purposes) of a Package List. You can ask to see you list anytime and get a personal copy printed or emailed to you monthly.
 
All Package information is confidential and is never shared outside Collector's Edge Comics. Not all types of lists contain all information, but they can be broken down like this:

1. header
Appears at the top of the list, contains just what it shows; name, customer ID, and store location.

2. bio

Phone numbers
Used to contact you if necessary.

4
Inception

5
Standing

3. titles
Each Title line has reference line number, which may be followed by a Line Type Code.
Line Type Code indicates special handling. For example:
  • 3R: added by request note.
  • 4X: added by crossover.
  • 8A: AUTOADDED  (AUTOADDs are based in titles already on your list.
If the ordered quantity is more than 1, this is shown in { }. (Line 5, getting 2 copies of that title.)
TIO (this issue only). You can request a specific issue of any title by indicating "TIO". 
Line 7 shows "#2 only". In this example you are getting 1 copy of Riverdale Punks (line 6) and 1 extra copy of Riverdale Punks #2, for a total of 2 copies of Riverdale Punks #2. 
Note: you can request TIOs for issues of titles you already receive (to get extra copies) and can request TIOs for issues of Titles you do not normally receive .
