    Default Bascoms?

    I've been trying to call Bascoms and it says their phone number is disconnected?
    Anybody else notice this? Or have another #? Thanks.

    Using their # right off the website.

    I talked to them a week or so ago and they said something about being closed for inventory at this time. You would think they would post a message though. Their website has been down as well but that may be going again. I dont know.

    I find the site is working:
    http://www.bascommaple.com/

    The site was recently down for maintenance.

    They were closed for inventory last couple of days of Dec, will open on Jan 2nd.

    A couple of years ago, I accidently showed up there on a day they were closed for inventory. (sign on the front door said closed for inventory). They do publish these dates on the website, but I just wasn't paying attention. They were nice, helped me pick up a couple of items. I think they are now trying harder to not get interupted during inventory and now I am more careful to check their schedule before driving up there.

    That was the impression I got. They made a point of telling me they would be busy on those days and to make sure I did'nt show up then. By posting a message I actually meant on their answering machine.
