I bought some items two or three weeks ago, and it was the normal painless transaction. But, tried to go back on the website again last week after the bits arrived (hadn't ordered enough), but couldn't. Still can't, blank page only.
The site is not totally dead. using the usual entry address scale hardware.com and appending /index as in: Scale Hardware, the world's finest scale model fasteners
takes you past the 'dead' home page. Not that it does you any good as several of the links are also dead. Fingers crossed that normal service will be resumed shortly!
