Re: Gates free belt issues?

There have just been some setbacks."

I know website issues happen (finding and fixing them is a significant part of my work day), and I appreciate Gates' generous offer but we're getting to crunch time here. It's about $30 at AndyMark to replace the belts we need, but I hate to cut bait.

Has anyone that requested belts from Gates directly gotten them, or at least a tracking number?
We ordered our free belts way-early, and they came in about 4 days. We didn't know what sizes we'd need, so we picked some "standard" sizes. In a situation like this, I think I would order the belts from sdp-si.com or another supplier and let the Gates free belts become spares when they arrive.
