Customer service emails get checked at least every day, and most days multiple times a day. Lately even on the weekend. I have been doing it personally lately and everyone has been getting a reply. The only emails that don’t get a reply are those who have not entered a working return email address. If you have recently emailed and havn’t got a reply firstly check your mail filters to make sure your reply did not go into spam and then resend your message via the form on [yoyofactory.com](http://yoyofactory.com) or email [contact@yoyofactory.com](mailto:contact@yoyofactory.com). As stated above also, you can also contact your retailer. As for anodize removal. With the 888x we went for flashy gloss insides and a durable performance bead blasted grinding surface. To maintain the precision and performance of our yo-yos we annodize in a way that guarantees smooth spin and precision. Thumb grinding was not a consideration as the yo-yo is designed with hubstacks and the focused energy of your fingernail during thumb grinds may remove some of the anodize from the yo-yo. ---
