Joe was busy during the early part of this month with numerous things. Among which included him closing on purchases of 3 additional proshops.
I too had issues related to delays in getting the Vibe I'd paid for back on July 3rd. I'm happy to say that the ball arrived last week tuesday the 24th with an apology from Joe. I wasnt able to get in touch with him through this site during that time, but I did manage to find the phone number to the bowling alley where his proshop is based primarily. After a few calls, the guy working in the shop relayed my message to Joe and Joe returned my call personally. (by the way, the phone number on allstarbowling.com is not the number I dialed to reach his shop)
On Thursday, I messaged Joe through this site about a No Mercy Beatn that I'd preordered from him. In my inbox yesterday morning was a reply from Joe saying that the first would be arriving tomorrow and should go out shortly thereafter. So, I guess to summarize, Joe is back in business (at least for me anyway)
