How to Order

To place a wholesale order, create a wholesale account, or go back to our front page and click that "Help me find cool stuff" button.

Readers, resellers, and librarians, read on for more details!

Readers

Are you shopping for yourself or as a gift? (As opposed to for a store or library?) Welcome! Have a look around our website and add what you like to your cart or wish list.

We ship all over the world—once your shopping cart is ready to go, select “check out” and put in your address to see your shipping options, costs, and estimated arrival. You will receive an email when your package ships.

You can track your orders or save wish lists by creating a Mycosm account.

Need help? See our FAQ, then contact support at microcosm dot pub.

Resellers

Are you buying books, zines, decks, or more for a bookstore, gift shop, specialty store, distributor, or other reseller anywhere in the world? Welcome!

Create an account: Setting up a wholesale buying account with Microcosm is easy. Just create an account, answer a few questions, and start shopping.

Payment terms: No credit application required. Pre-pay your first two orders, then request Net 30 terms (in which you pay 30 days after placing the order). Please specify "Net 30, 3rd order" in your order notes.

Need help? Our sales team is here to help you: Use our contact form, email us at sales at microcosm dot pub, or call 503-728-8441 or 971-277-9435.
