A note from Diamond Comic Distributors:
The Other Side of COVID-19
Although we are not yet on the other side, Diamond is tracking COVID-19 developments daily and starting to see signs of the spread slowing in certain areas. Like you, we are thinking about and planning for when and how we will restart the shipping of new weekly product. We have been closely watching the news, listening to our retailer and publisher partners and considering the many points of view as we decide, as an industry, how to proceed.
With health and safety of employees, retailers and customers a top priority, we need to be very deliberate about how we restart and scale operations. We must find that delicate balance between managing health and safety concerns, meeting the pent-up demand for product and working with retailers whose situations differ, and whose need for product may have changed.
While there are many steps and conversations that need to happen between today and resuming distribution of new weekly product, we are currently targeting mid- to late-May with the hope that, as an industry, we can all work toward that timeframe. Of course, as we have all seen, target dates sometimes need to be adjusted in this ever-changing new-normal. But we cannot wait for firm dates. We have started the planning process and are having these important conversations with publishers and retailers so that once we have more clarity, we are in a position to restart and scale operations over time.

Our dear friends and patrons, you may have heard the news about the lockdown of non-essential business retailers from 7th Apr to 4th May 2020. We will resume business on 5th May 2020 unless deferred by law.
We will have one final shipment coming in on Monday, according to our Air-forwarder (hopefully no delay) before the lockdown on Tuesday.
We will extend our closing time to 9 pm on Monday.
Although this is a tough time, it is not the end of the world. Perhaps, all Singaporeans were too hardworking and stressed over their work down all these years. May this time give you more time with your family and have a good rest.
We wish everyone, your family, your relatives, your friends, your workplaces, and your businesses well and healthy. We will see you on 5th May 2020 if we don't see you before the lockdown.
Stay well and healthy!
