I was so stoked to get Christmas $$ and ordered new coats on 12/26. I was SOOOOOO hoping they'd be here for the weekend but no confirmation emails OR answers when I call. I'm probably SOL but I can't find it anywhere saying they'd be closed like Scooterwest (Motorsports) posted. Anyone know so I can just let go of the dream?

I don't know for certain, but have you tried calling them?
(503) 493.9422 or (877) 262.2997

If you don't get anything, I could prolly stop by Corazzo HQ on my commute home, its not far outa my way.

I tried both #'s and sent an email. The answering machine doesn't say they'll be closed but I've forgotten my OOO message a time or two. My guess is they are closed I just am a little OCD so I'll keep thinking about it until I know one way or another. I really want my Tempeste for this weekend's ride into the mountains!!!

From the front page of the store:

oh and too bad they don't offer 10% off like Motorsports is doing since they are closed during that time.

As far as I can recall, Corazzo had never offered discounts on current, in production gear until before Xmas this year. It's pretty tough for the small gear companies to do that because their costs/unit are so much higher than the mass manufacturers. With Corazzo coming out with so many new styles this fall, I think they pretty much just wanted to offer incentive without undercutting themselves so they gave discounts and threw in less expensive accessories.

It's tough out there these days!

Yeah, I hear you. They are worth every penny and I order from them rather than going to the shop less than a mile away because a) Oceanside Vespa are total jerks and b) they mark them up more than the shipping costs FROM corazzo c) they don't carry my size. Motorsports is listed as a dealer but they don't have anything in the store. So I'll be lucky if I get these new coats before 11th. At least I got my gloves before christmas!

Yeah, I don't think I've seen those gloves in person but they look great. Sigh… Like I need another pair of gloves!
