I pre-ordered a comic book due to be released a week from the time of ordering. The delivery cost £1, with no other delivery options. I expected them to dispatch ahead of the release date for delivery on or close to the release date.

Forbidden Planet dispatched it on the day of release with second class service, it arrived three days after its release. I can understand the pandemic may disrupting their service but they haven't indicated that and if they don't intend to aim for delivery on or close to release day, don't charge for delivery.
