Back Order Cancel Dates Extended for Selected Product Categories
From the October 2003 Diamond Dialogue:
Effective today, October 17, Diamond has extended the Back Order Cancel Dates on several of its product categories, including Books -- Graphic Novels, Apparel, Card & Comics Supplies, and Prints & Posters.
Due to the change, when retailers place back orders for any of these categories' products, they will stay active for 45 days -- as opposed to the previous 30-day limit.
“When retailers place back orders through Diamond,” said Diamond Executive Director of Purchasing and Order Processing John Wurzer, “the orders stay active for a finite amount of time before they're canceled out. With this policy change, Diamond has come up with an effective way to fill retailers' back orders of products from these categories - which, at the end of the day, allows us to better serve our customers.”
