Received my McFeely's catalog Thursday. Ordered on line yesterday.
Received an order confirmation email this morning. If they're out of
business they're still taking money...

Last I looked, they were in Lynchburg, VA. I cannot even think of a rationale
for Jim Ray moving them to Buffalo.
Site is up and working. Did you try www.mcfeelys.com?

Well, I was born and raised in Lynchburg, VA.
And by comparison, Buffalo seems like a magical fricking wonderland.

Doesn't mean they didn't have their web servers in NY though. Lots of
sites are still knackered, even today.

NeoTrace shows the server to be located in Virginia. It is now reachable

You can drink it there, you cannot buy it there... The employees are given
a small amount periodically.

Hmmm, isn't there something else in lynchburg...a square bottle filled with
a brown elixer? Mebbe everyone is out enjoying a bit of Mr. Daniels best...

Wrong state. That's Tennessee. L'burg, VA is the not always happy home of Jerry
Falwell, though.

I once bought a pigskin jacket made in Israel. Not against Kosher laws,
but still struck me as odd.

Human beings have amazing ways to rationalize their actions- a dry county
with a distillery. Reminds me of the palestinian that was going to put in a
casino on palestinian land- before the latest wave of craziness. He accepted
that since gambling and drinking alcohol were against the Koran, he'd use
israeli's behing the gaming tables and bar. That way, the muslims were
"clean". Go figure. Pat

I think the booze making preceded the dryness. Blue noses take over after a
country is totally cured of any wildness...unfortunately. I forget the dates of
the Whisky Rebellion, but...ah. 1794. That was a rebellion to beat excise taxes
on smaller whisky producers down to what was charged larger producers. IIRC, it
was 6 cents a gallon for large distilleries, 9 cents for smaller.
No matter how much things change!

I vaguely recall a similar thread about McFeely's about 6 months ago.
Apparently the site was down at _that_ time and some people started to
wonder. FWIW.
I got a catalogue in the mail just a couple of days ago.

Wow, that's the kind of response you want to see from more retailers.
Watching the boards and responding quickly, with the name and two
phone numbers of an individual at or near the top of the organization.
I have always enjoyed their catalogue and had great experience
ordering from them. I'm even more impressed now.
No connection, just a satisfied customer.

Hi guys,
McFeely's is open for business despite the multitude of difficulties
we've had in the last few days with our various sales channels (i.e.
1-800 number, web site, etc). In addition, please don't hesitate to
contact me should you need any assistance with a McFeely's order or
service issue. I am:

I am a frequent reader of the boards and I have to admit, I loved
seeing the recogntion for my company from you guys. It was nice seeing
so many people running to say "Hey, they're open!". I can only say
that I hope you let us keep your hammers hammering and your screw
drivers...
Well, you get my drift. We're open and we can't wait to talk to you!

P.S. If you guys don't mind, call me the next time the site is out and
I'll be happy to make sure our Web Guru is made aware!

Their server may be down.
"ping mcfeelys.com" results in "request timed out" instead of "unknown host".
