Quill History

Fantastic prices, great service and mail-order convenience since 1956.

From the very beginning in Dad's chicken store, and each of the steps along the way, we're proud of the fact that we never lost sight of what it takes to make shopping for office products easier, more efficient and more economical.

That sense of pride is also shown in how we do things, in the ways we serve you.

Quill's exclusive everyday-low-pricing policy is just the start. Working hard to give you the very best customer service, like answering your calls quickly... often before you even hear it ring, is also a matter of pride.

Our pride is also reflected in making ordering extremely easy and customer friendly... in offering a wide variety of products... and, most especially, in presenting the line of Quill national brand products with their high value and combination of performance, excellence and competitive prices. We are proud to be a supplier to you and we will continue to do everything possible to deserve your business.
