Here is how our weekly comic unpacking process works.  New Comic Day eve is spent building the pick lists and collating customer preorders.  We usually receive the shipment early Thursday morning - we unpack the boxes  - ticking off every arrival first to give us a chance of getting replacements reordered for any shortages/damages before they sell out from the publishers.  We start filling customer orders from the picklists built the day before.  Remaining comics (after putting the preorders to one side) are  added to our website/shelf for purchasing.  Sorry - we are not as attentive to our emails and facebook messages on New Comics Day - because of the whole unpacking comics thing - I don't get to comb through the messages properly till the weekend - so best bet if you want something from the site grab it rather than sending a request.  Normally that's the day done - it usually finishes with me sending the weekly COMICS ARE GO email out and making the social media announcements.  The next day we start the manual process of adding pre orders to our customer's LIVE CARTS and contacting everybody who has had a pre order arrive.
