in the last few hebdomad , bleeding cool has cover return that amusing good book retail merchant have been hurt from diamond comic distributors holdup .
clause Summary
return on investment : Our Diamond edict for 11/27 dismissal was burst into 5 box .
Two box go far day aside , reek of pot like they ’d been sit in a burn storage warehouse .
This was one loge had embrown and slenderly meld house of cards wrapping inside it .
A third boxful was so damage at the UPS Memphis position that it was yield to Diamond from UPS alternatively of keep on to us .
Two box still unaccounted for .
Diamond had no mind that there was some form of fervour / smokey environs , so it could be that UPS has n’t baffle around to inform client .
This was i determine about it from cut across the packet .
BJ cost : No hint here .
I catch an account today that exhibit what should be hail , I mistrust , but only the Funko product have a trailing routine get tomorrow .
I have no cue yet when to ask the other invoice item or when anything else is cargo ships , include some item I was expect over a hebdomad ago .
This was it finger like they should just close down invoicing and murder up the banking company describe haphazardly at deviate prison term for amount of money that do n’t pair any one or more bill we can key out so far until they have this sort out .
I ’ve run other placard compensate to a personal checking report just because I have no hint what Diamond ’s go to mechanically take out or what solar day it ’ll come .

return on investment : Our Diamond edict for 11/27 dismissal was burst into 5 box .
Two box make it daytime aside , reek of Mary Jane like they ’d been sit in a burn storage warehouse .
One box seat had brown and more or less melt house of cards wrapper inside it .
A third loge was so damage at the UPS Memphis localization that it was render to Diamond from UPS or else of stay on to us .
Two box still unaccounted for .
This was diamond had no mind that there was some variety of flame / smokey environs , so it could be that ups has n’t stick around to inform customer .
This was i study about it from dog the software program .
BJ cost : No cue here .
I cause an account today that bear witness what should be fall , I distrust , but only the Funko product have a trailing phone number make it tomorrow .
I have no hint yet when to require the other invoice particular or when anything else is transportation , include some item I was gestate over a calendar week ago .
This was it feel like they should just close down invoicing and shoot up the camber report haphazardly at diverge fourth dimension for quantity that do n’t check any one or more bill we can distinguish so far until they have this separate out .
I ’ve impress other measure pay to a personal checking accounting just because I have no cue what Diamond ’s locomote to mechanically take out or what Clarence Day it ’ll take place .
Peter F : I’m a strip retail merchant that dole out with Diamond and has for the last 19 year .
I translate this retail merchant ’s thwarting .
The completion of the Plattsburgh placement was a full catastrophe , and Diamond could n’t get their routine together logistically .
This was they must have bed that their rental was up at this locating , you would consider they would have compute thing out .
I mistrust they are bleed money , and that ’s why this integration take place .
The shipment for Nov 27th and Dec 4 were a entire mountain .
This was i was guess to get 5 box last hebdomad , and i puzzle 3 on monday , 1 on tuesday and 1 on wednesday , and i had no cue when this rules of order in reality was testify up .
I had to call the shipment caller to discover out .
I have move almost everything aside from them as chop-chop as I could .
They ca n’t be intrust to get us retail merchant our Cartesian product on sentence .
The price of consignment is through the ceiling , and damage Bible are normal for them , as I had a few statute title last hebdomad .
Next hebdomad , Dec eighteenth playscript from Diamond will be tardily again , harmonize to an e-mail they send out today .
Diamond has been done for a while , but the last few hebdomad have really evince they are all out of their deepness .
Other distributer are doing thing a luck honorable than Diamond , and I do n’t see them around much longer .
empty : Our last two lading both had account .
Everything was heel as reorder , though , which disconcert the netherworld out of my atomic number 27 - prole who was task with chess opening and classify the boxful .
This was rummy about what tomorrow fetch since , consort to our payload flattop , we are only think to get lunar ( believably from last and this calendar week ) and the common box of surprise from random house .
Our account are there and have not vanish ( see movie ) .
They had / have those " Pending this calendar week " false account that commonly get edit once the real bill give out live ( which for the last three workweek was later , yes , but unremarkably we stimulate them by Friday , IIRC ) .
Ca n’t say that our funnies go far ruin .
Quite the opponent .
They better a flock since lose most of the bad publishing firm .
This was merch and expensive oversize hardback still get damage quite often , though .
This was not everyone is glad with lunar either … as one rootage publish in ;
dive into iirc
hollow : our last two shipment both had account .
Everything was list as reorder , though , which fuddle the infernal region out of my Centennial State - actor who was tax with curtain raising and separate the corner .
This was rum about what tomorrow bring since , allot to our cargo toter , we are only guess to get lunar ( plausibly from last and this calendar week ) and the common box of surprise from random house .
Our invoice are there and have not evaporate ( see picture ) .
They had / have those " Pending this calendar week " simulated invoice that ordinarily get delete once the existent account die live ( which for the last three week was tardy , yes , but normally we flummox them by Friday , IIRC ) .
Ca n’t say that our comedian go far destroy .
Quite the opposite word .
This was they better a muckle since lose most of the crowing publisher .
Merch and expensive outsized hardcover still get damage quite often , though .
But hey , do n’t retrieve that Bleeding Cool are just down on Diamond .
Not everyone is well-chosen with Lunar either … as one reservoir compose in ;
" I ’ve been follow your infield reporting , but I ’ve been surprise there has n’t been any Lunar reporting .
This was at least 3 store in sw pennsylvania have not receive their lunar delivery on metre or at all .
Last workweek , two store in the end aim their Lunar obstetrical delivery on Wednesday and my LCS did n’t get theirs until Thursday .
Today , those first two storehouse only contract a little part of Lunar stuff and nonsense .
No gilbert Joe .
No Transformers .
My own LCS did n’t get any Lunar stuff and nonsense and the adjunct coach allege they have no estimation when they ’re get it . "
Now some mass above and elsewhere , have ask if Diamond is go belly-up .
This was diamond is own by geppi family enterprises , which have many connect company , and as bleeding cool point out , geppi lucubrate alliance games distribution to take on much of the slack water when it lose its monopoly over the adult mirthful word of god publishing house .
This was dc comics and image comics go single with lunar , marvel , idw , and tokyopop , and now boom has go single with penguin random house .
And Oni Press , Ahoy Comics , AWA , Fantagraphics , Drawn & Quarterly and more part statistical distribution , non - entirely .
baseball diamond still act as a third - political party electrical distributor for Marvel , Image , Dark Horse , IDW , and more , which , to be bonnie , has make many of the trouble that store are presently undergo .
Many storehouse have stick with Diamond for third - political party statistical distribution because of economy of scale of measurement , transport schedule , and chasteness .
It may also be deserving think that Geppi also have Diamond UK , which still deal out Marvel , DC , Image , Dark Horse , IDW , etc , to the UK , which create up an guess 10 - 15 % of the verbatim market place .
Diamond is downsize to adapt to the mart slip , but it has n’t lose intimately as much job as it might otherwise wait .
And give your funny record book retail merchant some falling off if they ca n’t quite take Santa ’s dismissal .
enjoy this ?
Please apportion on societal medium !
