Default problems reaching Superbrace???

At the end of December, I took advantage of Superbrace's Christmas season pricing and ordered a fork brace for my bike. Sent in the C.C. info, got a confirmation email promptly thanking me for my purchase. C.C. was charged, it's all good, right?

Wrong. Today is 15 days since I placed the order and paid for it, and beyond the email I got on Dec. 29th, I have not seen my brace, nor have I had any luck in contacting Superbrace via email.
3 have been sent to them so far, no reply. I'll be phoning them in the morning, though. Has anyone else had problems contacting these folks?
I bought from them because I've heard a lot of good things about their product...I'm starting to wonder if that was a good choice..........

I don't know; nothing irritates me more than a non-responsive vendor. Save your emails and notify your CC company to dispute the charges for non-receipt. Keep us posted.

+1......if you can't reach them by phone and they still haven't responded to your e-mails, contact your credit card company.

Got ahold of them this afternoon by phone. When I explained my frustration, the number of ignored emails, etc...no apologies, no explanation other than "well, we were closed the week between Christmas and New Years".
I understand there are a LOT of businesses that close between holidays. Most of them put up some kind of friggin NOTICE on their website too, especially when they have a Holiday Sale going on!
If it weren't for the fact that their sale price saves me almost $100 on buying it from my local indy guy, I would have cancelled the order. At least now I have a tracking number ( it was actually shipped last night...wonder if they actually GOT my emails??), so I know it's on its way.
That sort of stuff REALLY pisses me off!!!!!

What is there to complain you got what your paid for. Save $100.00 buying direct and skipping a dealer. So why berate the Super Brace. If you expected immediate service go the the stocking retailer and pay $100.00 more.

Got some cheese to go with that wine??

Hey Super Brace how about posting some videos showing some of the processes it takes to

make a fork brace setups/machining/polishing/coatings ect.

As a long time machinist both old school and cnc I know I'd get a kick out of it and maybe

the others would gain an understanding of just what it takes to get a product out the door.
