UPS Delays To Comic Stores – Especially In Southern California
Diamond Comic Distributors has received the following note from UPS, which they have passed on to comic book stores.
We have been experiencing very heavy volume levels … We expect volume to continue to be strong and this is an [shipping] industry wide problem. The surge in demand coupled with limited capacity have made the operating environment constrained. We will do everything we can to provide the highest service levels to both you and your customers, but especially for customers serviced out of Southern California … due to operating conditions, some transits are taking longer than normal.
Diamond uses UPS for much of their distribution of comic books from their warehouses to individual comic book stores. Diamond is asking retailers to check their online accounts for the latest information regarding the progress of your shipment. But that packages will not show movement until they are picked up by UPS. So check in with your local comic shop to see if – or how – they'll be affected.
