SMBC's unparalleled customer service and general awesomeness

Wow, thanks geeks! We've only been running the store ourselves for about six months, and are still pretty lean (it's more or less just Amanda). We've had a few hiccups here and there, especially during the holiday rush, but we've done our best to do right by all the readers who are badass superstar ultrasaurus enough to buy something.

Okay, that's just adorable.

Hope that date goes well!

( And I think it might be suitable to order some gifts for birthdays and such ahead of time, right? )

You know that this means if you and date lady end up getting married down the line, you have an obligation to name the child after SMBC.

Not only did you get the extra shipping cost paid for, but also got a cute story to tell your date!

Two favors, for the (non)price of one!

Am I the only one who sees the blackberry mail server as "Serious Business"?

I always feel so bad when that happens to me. Just last week, I bought a $1 piece of foam with free shipping, and it cost them like $3 to ship it to me. Oops...

Or Razer had a "free shipping weekend" once a few years ago, so I bought a mousepad for like $20, and it cost them like $30 to ship that to me. I'm pretty sure I'm the reason why every time they do free shipping promotions, there's now a $50 minimum...

My signed copy of the first SMBC book arrived something as a surprise, given that I ordered it in a strange haze achieved by staying up way too long on energy drinks and Cokes. When it showed up a week later, I had already forgotten I ordered it, and was confused as to why I recieved such a fantastic book. I had to check my bank account to realize that I had indeed ordered it myself, and that there were no comic fairies smiling down at me.

It's not really a great tale like the OP's to tell, but I can say with 100% confidence that the book rests comfortably on my shelf among my other assorted comic collections, including such greats as PBF, Penny Arcade, and even a few Gary Larson The Far Side anthologies.

Fun fact:

SMBC is published by a company which is owned by a Reddit founder, hence why every new comic is on the front page.

I'll take a guess that this is a marketing stunt.

The fact that they replied to this in the fashion they chose speaks volumes.

Quack.
