Has anyone had experience with ordering comics from Moonshadow?

I happen to live in the boonies of New Hampshire, so I drive into
Cambridge, Massachusetts every couple of weeks to pick up my
comics.  Last weekend I happen to be up in Portland, Maine and
found Moonshadow Comics.  While talking to the owner, I found out
that he sends out a list of available comics for the upcoming
month that you can order and have shipped to you via UPS.  This
is most appealing as it can be a drag to drive into the Boston
area.  He charges for shipping, but gives a discount if you
prepay.  With all the books I get, this would be less than the
subscriber's discount I get at my current store and would save
wear and tear on my car.

However, I have been burned with long distance business conducted
by mail before, so I thought I'd throw this out to the net to
see if anyone else has dealt with or is dealing with Moonshadow
and what they think of them.  If there are other stores that also
do this, I would be interested in that information as well.
