Default Is WiseCo still in business?

Just curious. I'm looking for some pistons for a new 427 (bb) build. I sent WiseCo an e-mail to see if they have something to fit my build requirements, but haven't gotten the courtesy of a reply.

Thanks,
Mike

Well, it's going on two weeks without a reply for me, so I'm guessing they're quietly telling me to stuff it. I suppose I'll just spend my cash on a competitor who's a little hungrier for my business.

Their website displays this sign:
Need Assistance?
Call Us! Monday-Friday
1-800-321-1364
(440)951-6600

That 800 number worked for me about one minute ago.

Will they not talk to you? Just curious.

Haven't tried calling them. I used their website to try to get some information, and after not seeing what I was looking for, I then sent an e-mail requesting some specific product information (standard bore 10:1 BBC pistons). I'm just a bit miffed that I took the time and effort to write an e-mail to them, and it essentially ended up in a rat hole. This is a potential multi hundred dollar purchase, and I expected better, or at least, some, customer service.

Well, I certainly understand your chagrin.

Me, I use MS Windows & MS Outlook Express. Nothing can POSSIBLY go wrong in my messages.

And naturally all the MS Spam-filters are PERFECT, never loosing a message I want nor forwarding
multiple daily offers for male-enhancement.... as if I had use for such.

Oh well, better luck in your further adventures!

Well, I don't know if it makes any difference, but the e-mail letter was sent through their website where it say "contact us" or "contact info", or whatever it was. It wasn't just an e-mail out of the blue. Either way, I suppose it doesn't matter.
