Does anyone know what is going on with SN?

Hey there everyone!

Apologies if this is the wrong spot where to post this (moderators please delete if not allowed/let me know where to repost), but I have been trying to place an order from siliconenozzles.com and the website doesn’t seem to be working and has not been for a few weeks. A while back it said it was due to reopen on July 5th, but that came and went and it is still unavailable. The email I had from which I received the order updates isn’t working, either. The phone number is working but nobody has picked up so far.

I love their products and I would be very sad to see another small business that caters to such a niche market like ours (or mine, at least) disappear. Does anyone have any information or know a way to reach out to them directly? I’d be fine placing orders via email or over the phone.

Thank you so much in advance!

The email addresses I have for them are salesinfo@siliconenozzles.com, from which I got an email on 13 July, and orderstatus@siladyne.com, which was working last year.

They have not always been prompt with communication, and if they are struggling to get their new website working this may be taking up all their attention. I certainly hope they don’t disappear. They can’t be having much of an income stream at the moment.

This has to be a real worry. There is mo one else do what those guys do. They do have a more conventional business again using silicon so this isn't their only income stream. I had planned to purchase two new nozzles later this year

Their maintenance page now says (at the bottom): ‘We are still adding the rest of our products to the new website so keep checking back.’—Which sounds hopeful.

So I’m checking daily 😃

I had a look at Siladyne, LLC, who I believe are an associate company, but the link to the website off Google appears to be broken.

Am glad I'm not the only one checking daily! I've been jonesing for a new warmup nozzle all month, so that's certainly hopeful to hear.

Fingers crossed they're back sooner than later!

It would appear that SNC is working on their new website😁Fortunately I have quite a number of their excellent enema nozzles😍

Silicone Nozzles’ new site is up at last, though not yet finished: many pictures are still missing. But it seems to be possible to place orders again.

Unfortunately the new site is quite a mess 😢 The old one was hardly perfect but was at least functional.

I went to the site with firefox, it wants to add some extension to firefox. It seems to be a search bar which I refuse to do. I'm skeptical about their site. I tried it with chrome, wanted to add some extension which I did not give it permission to do, without giving it permission the site opened, but yes, it has problems. I suspect they have school kids doing their site, not professional.

Seems so odd to take down what appeared to be a functioning website and replace with a new one before you have fully built and tested it.

Just for shits and giggles, I clicked on the link in the original posting. My Firefox browser took me to the web site where it promptly allowed me to order a flow meter, (red) and an adapter, and I went to the checkout that seemed to be functioning properly. I did not place an order as they have nothing I need just now- but it appears to be working...

Glad to hear it seems to be working for orders—that’s essential, after all! But the site makes a very amateurish impression, with numerous dead links, missing photos, character encoding errors, and poor design overall, which makes it hard to find what you want. They should have hired a professional web designer to do the job, or else kept their old site.

I'm seeing the site now too, though it looks in poor shape. Aside from the missing photos, I can't seem to select any options for custom toys. I hope it's something they resolve soon. As is I'm still unsure about ordering anything period until it looks like a complete site at minimum.

I haven't visited the site since sometime last year, so had to take a peek to see if it is still there. It is, its appearance has changed drastically as well as the functionality. Half the links I checked came up with a 404 error code and, frankly the new appearance is not attractive.

Something else I take umbrage about is some of the misleading listings. One example is what they call a "Short Silicone Colonic Speculum Retention Enhancer" which is, in reality, a tunnel plug. Good lord, really?! And $30 for what sells for $7-$12 on Amazon? I guess somebody had to get paid for coming up with 17 syllables to replace 3.

To be fair, some the non-silicone accessories are less expensive than on Amazon. SN's $13.50 flow indicator is going for $18.99 (sold by a reseller and shipped from an Amazon warehouse).

In short, Silicone Nozzles.com appears to have hired rank amatuers to build and care for their website.

Well, now it’s offline again, but ‘Opening soon’, and—perhaps hopefully—‘This shop will be powered by shopify’. Type your email in the space provided to ‘Be the first to know when we launch’.

They've been offline for a while now.

When are they due back?

There is a new version of the site up already, not finished, but at least better-looking than the one that appeared a week ago and disappeared the other day. So we live in hope! They are apparently building the site in-house now, and I have to say they seem to be doing a better job.
