Got this in an email from DCBS:

 

 

In an ordinary month, Previews arrives on the 4th Wednesday of the month, the same week that DCBS begins month-end shipments. However, for the next Previews catalog, Diamond is shipping Previews one week later than normal.

 

Doesn't indicate why, just that it is happening.

In an ordinary month, Previews arrives on the 4th Wednesday of the month, the same week that DCBS begins month-end shipments. However, for the next Previews catalog, Diamond is shipping Previews one week later than normal. In order to ensure that all customers have access to Previews to complete their April orders, DCBS is revising the March month-end shipping schedule as follows for customers that order Previews:

 

*** Weekly customers: Shipments will NOT be affected. The last weekly shipment for March will occur as scheduled. The first shipment of April will also go out as scheduled and will include your Previews catalog.

__________________________________________________

 

*** Twice a month customers: Your March month-end shipment will be held for one week so that Previews and any other items arriving in the first week of April can be included. This shipment will go out approximately April 1st or 2nd. This means that your March month-end shipment will include 3 weeks worth of books. You will still receive two more shipments in April. Since April has 5 Wednesdays, the shipments will take place on the 3rd and 5th Wednesdays and will each include 2 weeks of books.

 

This will be your shipping schedule if you ordered twice a month shipping for both March and April. If you changed your shipping frequency to monthly or weekly in April, please see "monthly customers" or "weekly customers" for your adjusted shipping schedule.

*** Monthly customers: Your March month-end shipment will be held for one week so that Previews and any other items arriving in the first week of April can be included. Your shipment will go out approximately April 1st or 2nd. This means that your March month-end shipment will include 5 weeks worth of books. You will still receive one more shipment in April. Since April has 5 Wednesdays, the shipment will take place on the 5th Wednesday and will include 4 weeks of books.

__________________________________________________

 

*** Alternate plan: Any customer that would prefer to have their March month-end shipment go out as previously scheduled and would like an extra shipment during the first week of April may do so for $5.95. Please respond to this e-mail if that is what you would like to do.
