Mile High Comics Has Finished Moving
Howdy!
After four weeks of epic struggle, we finally finished our move out of our 56th Ave. headquarters
building today. I cannot begin to adequately describe to you the difficulty of this monumental task,
as we had six million
comics and magazines
to transport to their new home in our
Jason St. Mega-Store,
as well as the immense amount of steel shelving that six million comics require. A total of 20,000
long boxes were moved, which if placed end-to-end would create a single line about 45,000 feet long.
That's an astonishing eight miles of comics. Whew!
Empty 56th
Complicating our move even further was the fact that all of those comics had to be moved quite carefully,
as almost all of them were in order. This meant that we had to play "leap frog", with sections of shelving
having to be moved in tandem with the comics that they held. We did gain quite a few empty shelving units
by condensing out empty space (from comics that had sold) as we went, which is the only way that this very
tricky maneuver succeeded. We are now loading the last of the comics on to that empty shelving. I am so
very glad to be done...
Full Jason Mega Store
On a closely related note, I want to apologize to those of you who have had orders up hung up in our system
while we moved. Our intention had been to keep shipping right through the entirety of our moving process, but
that became impossible last week, as just too many comics in our pulling files were inaccessible. We knew
exactly where the comics were stored, but with 15,000 comics stacked per pallet, there was no way that we could
keep filling orders. That having been said, we are now 95% unpacked, so we're going to be working down our
backlog rather quickly. Again, we all thank you for your patience during this trying period.
In case you are wondering, we are also back in a position to begin accepting new orders. Any orders received
this week, however, cannot be processed until all our earlier orders have shipped. That having been said, I have
asked Will Moulton to keep our 50% off TRUCKLOAD comics sale in effect for you this week on all of our
back issue comics and magazines.
Only new comics, a few variants, trades, hardcovers, and our CGC-graded comics are excluded from this awesome half price comics sale.
As long as you are willing to be patient, I urge you to go ahead and place your order with us while our half price
sale is still in effect. Codeword sales are not going to be as generous in the future.
That's it for today. I now have to quickly unload my mini-van, and head back over to 56th for one last little load
of odds-and-ends. I could not be happier!
Happy collecting!
