Tornado Just Missed Our Windsor Warehouse

Dear Mondazzi Books Patrons:

In a very rare event, a tornado touched down Monday, July 1st passing within 100 yards of our warehouse. The entire Mondazzi Books staff was unharmed and our building incurred no damage. During the event, we noticed the winds pick up tremendously and (maybe a bit naively) we all rushed to our front entrance to assess the situation. Seeing flattened cardboard boxes strewn across the parking lot that were previously neatly stacked in our front entrance, we quickly realized that this was more than another summer thunderstorm.

The warehouse next door to us was severely damaged, but fortunately was vacant. The tornado then forged a one mile long path clearing out most of everything in its way. There were no reported injuries, but there was lots of debris tossed around, including large sections of tobacco netting across the street that were whipped up into the air.

We would like to thank all of you that called and emailed to see how we fared through this event. The local and national news stated that this tornado touched down on Hayden Station Road in Windsor, which is our street… not how we want to make the news! We did lose power, Internet and cell service, but all is restored now.

This was a close one. Your orders will be a day or so delayed in processing, but as always we will email you when your order is shipped.

Thank you all for your concern,

Sonja and Ed Mondazzi

“The National Weather Service confirmed Monday’s storm as an EF-1 tornado. It touched down in OJ Thrall fields near Hayden Station Road in Windsor about 1:30 p.m, then traveled 2.25 miles across I-91 and the Connecticut River and into East Windsor.”

Our New and Improved Web Site is Now Live

Dear Mondazzi Book Patrons,

We are happy to announce that we re-launched our web site on a new and improved shopping cart. The new site has been up for a few days and things are going well.

We now have improved sales statistics which show the top selling items on the home page as well as the top selling items within each category. (Of course it will take a little time before the sales stats on each category get filled in.)

When you view any book or other item you will now see some related items below it… and below that you will see up to 3 of the last items you viewed.

You will now see a running total of items and cost in the top right corner of the screen. Click the View Cart or Checkout buttons to view all the items in your cart.

Got a question? We have a new on site contact form that is connected to your customer account so all messages are in one easy to find location… connected with your order history from this day on.

New Wish List – Want to save an item for later? Just click “Add to Wish List” located next to the Add To Cart button on a products detail page. -Please note that our inventory is subject to change, so if you come back to order an item later, we could be out of stock.

Note to Previous Customers
We imported almost 100% of our customer records from our old cart. You will however need to reset your password. Please go to the My Account page and use the “Forgot Your Password” form to reset your password. You will then be sent an email with a link… click that link to reset your password and you’ll be logged in and ready to shop.

Even if you were not registered (had not entered a password) on the old site, if you made a purchase, your information is in our our new cart and you can set a (new) password.

Whether you have placed a single order with our site or have been shopping with us since our first site in 2000, we thank you for your support. As our webmaster imported the customer records he noticed the over 58 countries we have shipped to. He even made a cool interactive map showing all of them.

We look forward to your orders and hearing your feedback on our new site!

Thanks for supporting our family business,

Sonja and Ed Mondazzi & Staff
