Trying to Contact Car-Bone

Does anyone know if Car Bone in Poland is out of business. Tried to get on their web site but no luck. Thanks.

They are still active on Instagram, just posted a couple of hours ago. Maybe it's just an issue with the website.

It is summer in Europe, most businesses appear to close for a month or more.
Websites etc don’t get attention.

Website

I'm indeed on holiday but our website is still up and running, and the guys at the workshop still working. Only shipping and reply to emails take a bit longer. Most businesses definitely don't close for a month our more and i'm pretty sure the same counts for Car-Bone. Most likely an other problem, I'm sure it will be online soon !

He's in Poland?
I spoke with him at Hershey this year.
He's good.

Man, I feel BAD for the smaller vendors that serve the Porsche community. Unless I had physically gone to their brick and mortar location and saw a "CLOSED" sign, I wouldn't title a thread like this (which is un-editable). I would first try MULTIPLE modes of communication for multiple days/weeks before posting anything. And when I did post, I would title something like "Question about XXXXXXX company". Now unless the admin deletes the post, it will stay on the web forever, like a cloud hanging over the company.

People seem to want Amazon Prime responses from independent businesses.
It is summer, people need to take time off to enjoy life.

Hi all. just saw TDW2810 and Timmy2's responses to my query about Car-Bone. I certainly did not intend to "hang a cloud over the company." I was actually trying to give them some business to support one of our Porsche vendors. When I went online, I got a message saying their's was not a valid website. I'd been on many times before so knew I had the correct address. Tried for a couple of days then reached out to the Pelican community to see if anyone knew anything. Other Pelicans have inquired about the status of other companies many times before without criticism. Also, hard to go to Poland to look for a CLOSED sign. Still not sure how my thread headline would damage the company and that's certainly the last thing I would want. As for "Amazon Prime Responses," I was just trying to get onto their site, not asking about an order or anything like that. They're a serious and major vendor, not some Mom and Pop store working out of their garage on weekends, and they usually provide a quick response to questions. The good news is that their site is back up as of a few minutes ago so I can place an order. Again, meant no harm to Car-Bone.

Lightbulb always use protection

I have received email product updates from car bone during the time range of concern.

The ‘amazon’ crowd above (a label rightfully earned) should sign up for these and make up their own mind.

Were you having an engine compartment sticker emergency?

and I think pelican sells their products too for added protection and safety in these perilous times.
