Newsletter Vol.2 No.39 12/01/05

Greetings from Quimper Sound. It's been a hectic week for us as we bend (but don't break!) under the pressure to provide you all with the stuff you need in time for the holidays. We've filled way over 100 special orders already this week - with another batch coming in tomorrow. The website continues to be a great success - but we had a little hitch last weekend which kept an unlucky few of you from being able to place an order. That problem is looooong gone now and we'd like to reward everyone on this list for being so helpful with your feedback and orders. From now until midnight Sunday (the 4th) enter the code "notax" (without the quote marks) in the "Enter Discount Code" box in your 'cart' as you check out and you'll get your sales tax credited back to you (an 8.3% discount)! 
In next weeks newsletter we will be presenting a series of 'Gift Guides' - gift suggestions to help you make an "informed choice" about what to lavish on your friends, family and lovers. If you want to get a sneak peak - check the website starting Sunday, I'll try and add one every couple of days next week. If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
