Both Diamond Comics Distributors and Alliance Game Distributors have further updates on deliveries, following the ransomware attack that hit both distributors on November 5 (see “Diamond, Alliance Hit by Ransomware Attack”).

Diamond e-mailed retailers to say they can expect shipments throughout the week of products scheduled to go on sale on November 17. All retailers should receive their shipments by Friday, November 19.

On its update page, Diamond also stated that UPS shipments will be delayed by 24 to 72 hours and LTL shipments by 24 to 48 hours. UPS shipments will appear in the Shipment Tracking area of Diamond’s retailer website by Wednesday morning so retailers can track their shipments from there.

In addition, while the Baltimore and Boston drop points will operate on Tuesday, November 16, Diamond noted that heavy snowfall is expected in western Canada so product for the Edmonton and Vancouver drop points may be delayed.
