When you get a BCW Comic Book or Magazine Bin, it will come as a set of panels that need to be snapped together. It can be a bit confusing the first time you do this, but becomes much easier on later builds. The How To videos for the Short Comic Bin, Long Comic Bin, Graded Comic Bin, and Magazine Bin are all below, although the assembly process is identical for all of these bins.

BCW offers a wide variety of boxes to store your comic books, gaming cards, sports cards, card holders, records, and other media such as video games and dvds. If you have never folded one of these boxes on your own, the first time you fold them can be somewhat confusing. Since there may be some question about the proper way to fold these boxes, we have created videos for each one of our boxes, which includes information about what the boxes store and how to fold them. If you are having trouble folding these boxes or aren’t sure which box you need, check out these videos:

BCW Supplies, a manufacturer of products to protect, store, and display collectibles, is moving its headquarters to a larger facility. BCW currently has two warehouses in Anderson, Indiana. The main warehouse and office is on 31st Street, and the second warehouse on North Broadway is a former supermarket. BCW has been growing steadily over the past few years, and increased product demand during the pandemic made the need for a larger warehouse a necessity. During 2021, BCW will be shifting operations from the Anderson facilities to an existing warehouse eight miles to the east. The new headquarters will be at 8984 State Road 236 in Middletown. This Middletown site was previously a Down Lite pillow factory, and the Liebhardt Woolen Mills before that. With a strong work force, Anderson has been an excellent home to BCW since the company was founded 40 years ago. The tough decision to move was based upon the perfect fit with the available Middletown facility.
The Middletown community can expect BCW Supplies to be a good neighbor. BCW normally works a traditional business week, with a few large trucks coming and going throughout the day. BCW employs 50 members currently, and expects to grow with the larger headquarters. Job opportunities are listed on the BCW page as they become available.
BCW sends parcels, and larger freight deliveries, from our warehouse in Indiana using UPS, FedEx, and multiple freight delivery companies. As such, our shipping expenses within the 48 contiguous United States are reasonably priced, based on the rates of those delivery companies. We can even offer Free Shipping on domestic deliveries on larger orders (details can be found on the free shipping page), however Free Shipping is not possible for deliveries outside the 48 contiguous United States. Shipping rates on international deliveries (plus Alaska and Hawaii) are notably more expensive than domestic deliveries. Our website will calculate a shipping price for most international addresses, and we understand the international shipping expenses can make it prohibitive to get BCW products delivered beyond the USA. However, there are solutions for many international customers to get BCW products at affordable prices.

Resellers of BCW products – The BCW Affiliate Program is separate and distinct from our Wholesale Program. Resellers with a business license can apply for a BCW wholesale account. Resellers can also contact a BCW distributor to order products. We reserve the right to accept or decline affiliate applications at our sole discretion.
The BCW Affiliate Program is designed to assist case breakers, bloggers, streamers, and others that are promoting their hobby online. As an affiliate partner, you can receive a commission for sales at bcwsupplies.com when the customer uses a coupon code unique to the affiliate. The process is simple, free, and fast to sign up. In this video I will walk you through all the steps needed and explain more about the program as we go. The process and benefits are described below, and in the video.
Continue readingBCW offers nearly 1,000 products to protect, store, and display collectibles. Purchasing a full case of a particular item has always been the way to achieve our best pricing at wholesale. We understand that retailers may not want to buy a full case of a particular size or color of a given product, but purchasing at a price that provides a good profit is essential. BCW has adopted a new pricing structure for wholesale customers to make ordering a single product, or less-than-case quantities, more affordable.
Traditionally, distributors have fulfilled the need for less-than-case quantities to retail stores. However, BCW products are not available through every distributor, and most distributors do not carry our complete line of products. This has created a problem for stores that cannot acquire the BCW products they need from their distributor. BCW offers stores to order directly at competitive prices, regardless of the order size.
BCW welcomes industry veteran Andrew Phillips to the BCW Sales Team. Andrew will be using his gaming and comic background to help hobby shops and online retailers get the quality hobby accessories they need, with the affordable pricing expected from BCW Supplies.
