Contacting Bianchi

I can interpret this in a couple of ways, but at the moment I'm seeing it as, "Get in line."

Why not visit your nearest Bianchi dealer first?

are we allowed to ask what Bianchi or the dealer has done that is so horrible you cannot wait your turn? it is a rather large company. also are you in the US? there is a difference between Bianchi USA and world Bianchi out of italy, so who you contact differs.

All I'm initially going to ask is whether I can get warranty service for my rear hub without returning to the dealer I've had such problems with. I don't expect Bianchi to take much of an interest in the dealer's having sold me a tiny bike. I wish they would, but I doubt it.

If you're unhappy with that particular dealer, why not visit another shop that sells Bianchi?
<edit> Looks like there's only one shop in Louisville. How about driving to Cincinnati or Bowling Green or ??? </edit>

Jon Bianchi will likey direct you to another shop. warranty service needs to be carried out by a dealer, like a car.

In contrast, Campagnolo was very nice on the phone and also apologetic that they can't do anything for me, but to go to a bike dealer.

I emailed Bianchi on Monday and haven't received a response yet. I should call, and I will, when I'm more in the mood to breathe fire about the local dealer's behavior toward me. I'll be in Chicago next weekend, so I'm contacting a dealer or two there to see what could be done.
If bikes work the way other products do, any authorized dealer will perform warranty service for free--right? I suppose I may have to pay them to un-warp the wheel that the local yahoos botched last weekend now, though. Details:

The first Chicago dealer I've asked via email has answered me: "I'm sorry but the warranty work needs to be completed at the shop where you made your purchase."
What if the dealer where you made your purchase goes out of business? What if, as in my case, they turn out to be bastards?

EDIT: For the record, I didn't. Also for the record, the shop which refused to do the service was Higher Gear, in Chicago.
