There is an ad running for fastener-express.com. However, it appears that their domain registration has expired (according to whois) and DNS lookups are failing for www.fastener-express.com.

I realize this isn't a RCU problem. But others might be getting confused when they try to click-through the ad.

Too bad. I hope he didnt close up shop. I ordered some 6/32 screw assortments from him a few weeks ago. Cost me $40 including shipping. If those same screws were DuBro at my LHS, they would've cost around $350-$400.

His shipping speed was also outstanding.

While I can't speak for them, obviously, I've seen this happen before when they forget to pay for their domain name. That could be the case here.

I hope they're not gone. I heard that have some cool anodized aluminum servo screws.

I just tried the link and got the following

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.fastener-express.com

The dnsserver returned:

DNS Domain 'www.fastener-express.com' is invalid: Host not found (authoritative).

It's working for me now too. They must have fixed the problem.

Now I can go look for those cool colored servo screws!

I'm sure glad you guys straightened this out. I used Fastener Express awhile back and they came through in a big way for me. I would hate to see them dissapear.

I ordered $120.00 in hardware, which translates to about $600.00 in hobby shop hardware pricing. Delivery was made less than 5 days from the placing of the order!!! The hardware was of excellent quality, all stainless.

According to the e-mails I got from them, they had my order shipped 2 hours after I placed it!

The first link has an extra "." at the end, that's probably the problem. The second works fine.
