Diamond Comic Distributors to Consolidate Warehouse Operations

Diamond Comic Distributors plans to consolidate warehouse operations, phase out regional drop points, and consolidate shipping carriers. 

This plan will improve overall efficiency and better serve its customers and partners. 

The company will continue to operate out of the Plattsburgh, New York Distribution Center. Starting November 27, operations will move to a distribution center in Olive Branch, Mississippi. 

Diamond serves independent specialty retailers, including comic shops, hobby shops, and toy stores. 

In addition, Diamond will reduce the number of regional drop points used for deliveries. The locations that will no longer be used include Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, and all Canadian centers. 

All U.S. customers who previously picked up from the Boston, Baltimore, and Chicago drop points will now switch to 3% standard flat-rate shipping. 

All shipments, except those to the remaining drop points, will go through UPS, FedEx, Canpar, or USPS. 

Diamond says it is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all employees, customers, and partners involved.
