Next Week's Comics Will Be Delivered By Diamond A Week Late

Next Week's Comics will be Delivered by Diamond Comic Distributors a Week Late... here's the full affected list for Diamond stores.

Last month, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Diamond Comic Distributors was closing its Plattsburgh warehouse. Dubbed a "Strategic Consolidation of Warehousing Operations", Diamond Comic Distributors has told comic book publishers today that "as part of our ongoing evaluation of operations, we have made the strategic decision to consolidate warehousing to improve overall efficiency. As a result, we are not renewing our lease at the Plattsburgh, NY, Distribution Center and will transition all shipping and receiving to our Olive Branch, MS, Distribution Center beginning in November."

Earlier this week, Diamond told customers, "During this period of transition, there may be changes to when you receive your shipment. It may take until December for our Distribution Center and freight carriers to fully adjust, especially with potential holiday disruptions." And that disruption has hit sooner than expected.

As today, retailers were told that "due to logistical issues related to the transition of accounts to Diamond's Olive Branch Distribution Center, the following titles scheduled to arrive with product on sale November 27 will be delayed. These titles will now arrive with product on sale December 4." We'll list the comics below but it's basically everything that should have been on shelves next Wednesday.

Chris Powell, Chief Sales & Service Officer at Diamond Comic Distributors, added a personal note, saying, "With the closing of our Plattsburgh Distribution Center and consolidation of all retailer accounts to our Olive Branch facility, a number of unexpected issues arose. Due to a data entry error on top of misrouted product from suppliers, product arriving at our Distribution Center from Friday to Monday was not scheduled for picking into orders. This issue affected all retailers. Unfortunately, much of the product with an on sale date of November 27th has been delayed to December 4th. Once the issue was detected, our Operations team explored numerous options for getting these products to retailers, but it was not possible. We know that less new product arriving impacts you and your customers, and we apologize for this disruption. Distribution Center staff are working through this weekend and next to get orders out in as timely a manner as possible through the short holiday week, and we are doing all we can to resume normal operations following this change to our distribution setup. We appreciate your patience and continued support, and will provide any further updates as we get new information." Here's what won't be in stores next week through Diamond Comic Distributors:
