Earlier this week I came across a thread on Reddit regarding Nibs.com bankruptcy and the fact that the website is still up and running, despite the business being shuttered and no orders being fulfilled. Please do not place an order with them!
I want to be clear: I don’t have any official knowledge or insight into the situation. What I do know is that Nibs.com filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy as of May 31, 2024 in the State of Florida. During the proceedings the business was turned over to a court-appointed trustee. The website is currently unmonitored, and orders are going unfulfilled.
If you have made a purchase from Nibs.com since May 31, 2024, I encourage you to contact your credit card company or bank (or PayPal) to inform them of the situation and request a refund.
So there is some sketch happening about Nibs.com.
I was getting the same email newsletters from both Nibs & and other FP Family group owned pages before I unsubscribed from them all finally (they just had different headers).
Also there’s a newer post on the reddit with a letter from Nibs.com that … I dunno.

Lastly, I also saw someone mention that if Nibs.com the domain gets sold off, the community should purchase it & keep it in the community.
So upsetting in so many ways. Does anyone know if Mottishaw is still grinding, or has he fully retired after the sale?
