Spooki, when I emailed them he shot back a response that he was skeptical that I didn't receive a fork. Like I really want a spare ****ty fork for my beater frame... anyway... after that I used their address to track down the number for Bikesdirect and Bikeisland and they guy who answered...
...had no idea about anything... said to email...
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
I did get the fork much later.

update: got the fork. the quality isn't as impressive as the frame, unfortunately. it's a bit on the heavy side (though i have to cut it down quite a bit, so this may not be an issue later) and has what i'm guessing is a piece of loose metal trapped in one of the fork blades.
the chroming has a few spots around the crown where it's not as smooth as the rest of the fork, though it's not incredibly noticeable.
I'll report later once i get it built up and start riding.
