Kirby Tardy of Tardy's Collectors Corner in Grand Rapids, Michigan, saw comments by retailer Dave Schwartz (see 'Dave Schwartz of Comic Collection on Diamond Holiday Shipping Schedule') and is also disappointed by the planned delays:

 

Retailers--easy does it!  I too am disappointed in upcoming slow shipping but an easy solution is to simply cash in some of your 401K and use that money to get you through the slow/no sale dates that Diamond has planned.  Surely we've all amassed a huge surplus of cash by now.  I also remember when it was top priority to ship those comics, now it seems OK to store them until convenient.  I guess we should be thankful we get anything at all...
