Quimazon!
Are you looking for something you want to buy from us but we don’t have it? Online shopping for books or media? Why not kick down a bit to Quimby’s? If want to order stuff we don’t normally carry, you don’t have to go to online megastores like Amazon. Instead, consider ordering from a wholesale distributor we hooked up with, using a service we snarkily call Quimazon. They can ship items from their warehouse to you directly. You get 25% off, and you can ship it wherever you want for cheap. We get a small kickback for directing you to them. They carry a wide variety of fiction, graphic novels, poetry, art and design books, screenplays, text books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, calendars and more.
