ttfitz Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yeah, I talked to George, too, and got the same story. Hard to believe they can't store a handful of boxes - or given their backlog that they couldn't at least look at filling someone else with these and filling mine later - but we're probably not a big part of their business and they just don't feel the need to try and work with people like you and me. If they hadn't given me the "we won't have these again until next year" bit, I might have reduced my order. But I'm leaning towards just getting them all.

musicmeta Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Acid free boxes have sky rocketed in cost. E. Gerber "had" them at 5 boxes for $75 plus shipping. Now it's like $40 to $50 per box at other sites like from Bill Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is I found someone to pick up my order for me (a friend of my brother). Bad news is it was only half of what I expected (Brenda told me they were limiting the amount, but went ahead and put the order in for what I wanted) so it wasn't as much savings as I had hoped. Probably would have just told them to go ahead and ship if I had known. ADAMANTIUM and universal soldier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Arigato Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) A buddy of mine has a bunch of unopened packs of Mylites2 and Full-Backs he isn't going to use. If anyone is interested, they should let me know if it's worth my time to help him out and post them for sale in the forum. Otherwise, he's probably just going to throw them up on Ebay. I made a post in the Sale Announcement area but really didn't get much of a reponse. Edited October 2, 2021 by Domo Arigato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estimated ETA 10-14 weeks, I believe she said. Received that order on Friday. Yep, it took just a little over 10 weeks. Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgrumble Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 The E Gerber site is down. Diamond's site is also down. Hope this isn't a foreshadow to something more ominous with the Geppi line of businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Diamond Comics Websites Have Been Down All Day Posted on November 5, 2021 by Rich Johnston | Comments Diamond Comic Distributors tweeted out the news. I'm quite impressed they got that to work. "We are currently experiencing systems issues which may affect order processing and communications. We appreciate your patience." That means Diamond Pullbox, Previewsworld, the retailer site, Diamond UK, Alliance Games, Hake's Americana & Collectibles, Geppi Family Enterprises, and more of their websites are all down. They followed up to say "Due to a hardware issue, Diamond offices will be closed today while repairs are made. Information on FOC will be shared when available.""

JollyComics Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 My LCS is waiting for all different kinds of bags and boards for a month. Using my alternative, I decided to order the bags and boards via Graham Crackers website. I received them but the brand names I never heard of. Comic ProLine & Vintage Collectible and Accessories. Surprisedly both companies' prices are 1/4 less than BCW price. Nice qualify. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
