from the phone today, he seems like it should be warrantied but he could not guarantee it on the phone. i started to get a little testy with him already about the whole warranty issue. these being bought on the 19th of november, today makes them just over 3 weeks old. warranty issues?????? i hope to hell not. seems pretty cut and dry to me. told me that they would match shipping to however we ship the fork to them as they wanted to get this taken care of before xmas since i was already an upset customer. told him i had a very big mouth if this wasn't resolved in a satisfying way.
