Well, if email works, thats always a good alternative. Otherwise, for larger shops, there are usually multiple numbers (especially if there are daat centers strewn across the country/world.) They may not always get to the right department but can be used at least to report problems in contacting directly etc. And depending on where you are, you can always drive down and pound on the door until someone answers. :-) (I've done this before...)
