Newbury Comics Inc

I placed an order with Newbury Comics online on the 17th of December. I paid extra for the "expedited" shipping which claims that it will take an estimated 2-3 business days, rather than the regular shipping which takes 2-7 days. Knowing that it might be a little more than 3 days was fine with me since I gave myself some cushion for Christmas (Xmas would be the 6th business day, which I imagined would be the very last day that it would arrive.) After a couple of days I did not receive a shipping notification, so I emailed customer service. I received a reply with a tracking number, as well as a notification that some orders have experienced delays up to THREE weeks, and that I would have to wait as long as that until 1/08/10! This led to a series of emails which came to no conclusion but that I would "just have to wait," at which point I said No, no no, and no. Three weeks for an EXPEDITED packaged that is supposed to take three DAYS? No. I immediately used my tracking # at USPS only ... Read more

The Scene Once upon a time, this was a fringe store catering mainly to punk-rock diehards and hipper-than-thou college kids. But ever since alternative rock started blending with the prevailing trends, Newbury Comics' time has come. The store does a great job of mixing the organization and layout of a chain store with the expertise and range of a specialist store. The Goods Newbury Comics should be your first stop for new rock and pop on CD and vinyl. As is the case with most chains, Newbury's tape selection isn't strong. The store does what it does brilliantly--prices are typically a few dollars less per CD here than at other retail chains--but if you're looking for something other than rock, you'll do better elsewhere. There's also a roomful of eclectic novelties, including posters, magazines and yes, comics.

I have found the staff at this particular Newbury Comics store is rather snobby. They seem to think they know everything about music. Funny ...

I am a loyal Newbury Comics customer because they continue to offer a great selection of CDs at the best prices. My only gripe is that they don't have enough listening stations, so I go to Tower/Virgin and listen and then buy the CD at Newbury. They also have cool gifts, T-shirts, etc. If you are sick of paying $17.99 for CDs, head over immediately.

The lowest prices in Boston for new rock and pop CD's...period! If you're looking for Classical and Jazz then i'm afraid that you'll have to look elsewhere:)

This is by far the best music store in the U.S. It has all sorts of music...and if they don't have what you are looking for they will get it shipped to the store for you...free of charge. In addition, they have funny gifts and collectibles, hard to find music, and a great used CD selection. They are reasonably priced compared to many other major record stores. The staff is into their music...but very nice and willing to help. They will even play a CD over the speakers in the store if you aren't sure about it. --a wicked good time.

I like obscure music and they always have what I'm looking for. There's also always someone interesting to look at.
