macaz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I just tried to get onto FBBC a second ago and it appears that the site has been disabled, at least that what a message said. If this is so that blows. I like there bending wraps and crush pads. Any one know what is up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilliman64 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 yep, just checked and got the same result. probably just a hiccup with their ISP. try again in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico300zx Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 if that happens it would be cool if they used the update feature to keep us from guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 "Sorry, the site you requested has been disabled" Still says this. I sent them and order yesterday via E-mail. I hope I get a response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 I have sent two Emails to FBBC for an order and their website is still down. Does not look good. I wish they would tell us they are not selling stuff anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) It is still disabled. I sent an email around 4 or 5 days ago. I ordered a Crusher, and they may not have received payment for it. Because I did not want to hassle with a Money Order stop payment, I asked them to look for it. They did, couldn't find payment, so I said, "okay, I will put a search/stop payment on it". But did not get around to it. Then, the day the site was first disabled, the Crusher showed up in the mail! I emailed them asking if they found the money order, or shipped it to me "on faith". My wife told me to stop worrying about it and enjoy the Crusher. I don't want to pay $15 for a Search for it if they got it, but don't think I should get it for free if they did not receive it! Someone here must know the story, no? Their products are good, and everybody loves the Certifications. I always say "runnning any kind of business today is very hard", and it would seem to me that one that requires metal materials would be especially hard, with costs/volatility/shipping/low margins/craftsmenship etc etc. I hope this is just a momentary hiccup...

thehammer Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I sent them money 12 days ago and haven't gotten my order yet. I hope it's on its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubgeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The site is running again. All is well. I wish I could edit my post to delete it as if I never said anything. I apologize for concerning anyone, as well as to FBBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Styles Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I always figured that with the price / quality combination FBBC offers, it is a company run for the love of the activity. I'm happy they exist at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard from them. They found my money order, which was why they sent me the crusher. Their email was also out. I think they are okay now.

macaz Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 jdonaldson@fatbastardbarbellco.com This is the new email address to contact them. I was trying to get in contact to them with an old one and never got a response. I was starting to wonder if I was going into the junk mail bin or something.
