Okay, not only do we stop ordering from Wiz, but we get the folks at miata.net 

to stop allowing their advertising.  I remember some game magazine that got 

adds from game mail order stores that never shipped the games on time, etc, 

and we all wrote in and got the mag to reject their adds, even to this day!  

So, Gary, how about it?...Why not drop their adds and all links to them, okay 

so you might lose a little revenue, if this is a problem I will even buy a 

miata net membership thing...it would be worth it if we as members had some 

control over problem vendors like wiz...what do you think?

catalog was.  This was a few weeks after the group post to the Miata 

list.  In that post, she said the catalogs would be ready in mid-Nov.  

When I emailed her, she replied "remember that the catalogs will be 

available mid-Dec." This was contrary to her group post listing a 

mid-Nov. date. 



    If you look at the shipping form that comes with the catalog, you 

can see what their shipping policy is.  At *least* expect a 13 day 

shipment wait.  Policy states 72 hours to process the order, then 10 

days for shipping.  So, I'll back off for now, due to the holidays and 

the added shipping delays that result.  However, today is the 13th day 

from when I made my order, taking into account the holidays.  I had 

better be seeing a shipping notice on my door in the next few days.  





    We all wonder if Mazda keeps an eye on this list.  I wonder if 

suppliers do.  We all know and regularly do business with consistently 

reputable suppliers, so I ask: What's the deal with Wiz?  Why do we 

continue to see posts about how unhappy people are with this company?  

I will fully admit to "stepping in it" and ignoring the net knowledge 

re: this company.  Maybe we should organize and protest Wiz, any 

suggestions?  Individually, it is easy for an owner to dust of 

dissatisfied customers, but collective action is entirely different. I 

know there are TONS of *very* creative people on this list, so lets 

hear it!!!!
