Quimby’s

[luke]

Anyone here been paid by Quimby’s lately? I’m going on three months of waiting for a non-auto response to my email. I don’t even really care about the money, I just want to confirm my stuff has sold so I can get it back in stock…

I got paid by them recently.

Yeah, there's been months-long delay lately because they were changing their system for keeping track of consignment, but you should hear from them eventually. It took me a long time, too.

I put zines in there in like 2013 after CZF and never checked back, then in 2018 I went again and my friend was like "ask them if they sold your zines, I bet they'll pay you" I almost didn't ask, but buying all the stuff I was I could use any money haha. So I ask, they pull out that binder and are like "yup, we owe you $44 dollars". Still blows my mind they honored it, that was half a decade ago and I would totally understand them being like "it's been too long" but nope. I'll never forget that, best store ever. My account name there is still under my old zine, ha.

This is amazing. Gives me confidence that the copies I just mailed + consignment form are going to the right place. I hope to go to Chicago soon and check if I made it on the shelf in person.

I just got a reply + payment from a consignment check-in I sent back in mid-February. Just to give folks an idea on their backlog if you're also waiting.

Update on this- they featured my book on the Saturday new stuff live stream on Instagram. All the new stuff also gets mentioned in a blog post once a week like this.

If you are also from out of state and wondering what the status on your comic/zine is, searching through these blog posts might help? I mailed it around July 15 so it seems like it took about 2 weeks to process. I can't imagine the level of effort on Quimby's side to support this. Dog bless 'em.
