Default What's Up With Fikse?

I know there are several dealers on this site, so I wanted to post this to see if anyone had any first hand knowledge of what is going on with Fikse right now. I ordered my wheels 8 weeks ago today. For the last 4 weeks, no one at their facility will return phone calls or emails. I had originally been dealing with Will Anthis on wheel fitment before actually purchasing my wheels through one of the Fikse dealers. Will's name is not even on the phone directory anymore.

Three weeks into the order (which we were told 4-5 weeks for delivery), I called Will to get an estimated ship date so that I could get my builder lined up to mock the wheels and tires and measure for the rear end. Will told me that it was "too soon" to give an estimated ship date. I said "No problem". He told me to call the following week and that's the last I've heard from him or anyone at Fikse.

It's not the 8 weeks that's starting to get to me. It's the fact that they won't return messages or emails. Several people are telling me to hang in there, but I'm really starting to feel uncomfortable and frustrated about this. I even checked on a plane ticket from Louisiana to Washington last night!!!

I could go on and on venting here, but I'll just leave it at what I wrote above. If there's any Fikse dealers out there who could shed some light on this, please do. I really just want to know if I've been taken to the cleaners here if they're truly out of business.

Thanks
