| Proprintwear Belly Up?
Does anybody know if Proprintwear is going out of business? I have left numerous messages on their phone, sent several emails, and tried to order online ( the shopping cart program says it's an unregistered version) to no avail. All I want to do is buy a couple of tee shirts.:

| With everything that is going on with Phil and the company, it isn't surpising that he is a little behind in responding. Patience, grasshopper.

| I was not alluding to anything, other than the fact that it is smallish business that is going great guns and is a bit understaffed. In the past I have had to wait a bit for a response. But you are right, also, they have been in CA at a NAC and are probably still driving back to NY.

| Maybe
I have been patient, I been trying to reach them since the Reno NAC. The plot has now thickened, the website is completely down.

| The message I got when I pulled it up earlier was that the domain had expired. Heck, that even happened to Microsoft! Thank goodness the world didn't panic when THAT happened.

| now phone problems
OK I thought maybe I was overreacting so I sent another email, no good, I tried to use their cart again, no good, so I made another phone call and now the phones are disconnected. Seems like something must be wrong. | |

| Sounds like Santelli all over again. Damn. Hope nothing has happened to Phil and company. It looked like they were going great guns. Has anyone contacted USFA (stop giggling) and see if they know anything? I said, stop giggling. And that means guffawing, howling with laughter and any other derisive gut wrenching reactions!

| Can we let this thread die or something so people don't actually start thinking that proprintwear is belly up? Because it isn't. | |
