I haven't have any trouble with Superia but, I haven't shot tons of rolls
with it.

As I said, take it somewhere cheap where they won't charge you
if nothing comes out but, I doubt that you have anything usable at all.

Anything's possible but, I'd try for a toll-free number or a website and
check first.
It you send it to them and get nothing back, you'll be out the postage and,
be even more pissed.
Have you considered the possiblilty that your camera has some problems?
Is the rewind button on the front turning and releasing ok and resetting?
Film is pretty tough all things considered and doesn't rip that often or
easily,
without some force being applied. Most of the ones I've seen break and
stripped
are from over-energetic manual winding and, a few screwed up auto-advance
cameras.
If this is a recurring problem, I'd say it could be the camera.
