Packages by X-mas
Naturally, the shipping Elves at Quimby’s will still do their best to keep your mail orders shipping out as soon as they come in! However, if your order is placed after today (December 17), we cannot promise that your order will arrive before December 25. While the elves ship everything via USPS Priority Mail, there is a small chance orders will arrive in time, but please do not count on it.
Happy Holidays,
Logan B- The Shippng WIZZARDD

Bloging about being Bloged?
Over the weekend Brian from The Daily Cross Hatch blog came though the store. We had a short chat and he did a nice feature about us on his blog. For those of you who have never set foot in the store there are some good pics and some well edited quotes from me waxing about the store and the hood. Looks good, so thanks Brian.
