"We don't bash anyone here at Miata.net. Sponsors, members, etc. If you have a complaint with a business, take it to that business. Complaining here will most likely not solve anything. If you just want to air your experiences, good or bad then do so but trying to get everyone mad at them for you is not going to happen."

didn't take long for the mods to kiss some vendor ***

"Ok, now that both sides have had the chance to air their sides of this I feel we can close this thread. Any further issues with FM can be dealt with privately."

We do have a couple of employees who are very valuable to us in other ways who don't always give the best impression on the phone, I'll admit. We're doing our best to keep them away from customers.
This is promising. At least they have acknowledged that there has been an issue. I imagine this would be Jeremy, any negative contact I've had with FM has involved him.

Too bad the moderator closed the thread after Keith responded, would have been nice to hear the rebuttal. I hate when stuff like this is one sided, they should have let it play out providing it remained civil.

That's can't happen. M.net is a business that does not want to loose FM's "free" $2400 / yr.

Gary's been a lot nicer to me lately

"After this problem we did some investigation. It turns out that when the catalytic converters were shipped to us, there were some 1.6 cats in boxes with 1.8 part numbers on them. We're opening up all the stock to do a visual check"

So it's a known problem? why wouldn't you take care of me by just expediting the shipment?

someone post a near-exact complaint about a random supplier that nobody's heard of and see if it's dealt with the same way.

i have conversed with Bill @ Flyinmiata. he seems to understand the situation and told me that he is upgrading the shipping to 3 day. fair, and the way it should have been from the get-go.

but will it bring me around to order from them again? i dunno.

Isn't he telling you about the problem in reverse?

naw - I've had superb service from them for the most part. I've bought a boost control, software upgrade and used turbo from them. All was as-advertised and delivered promptly (to the correct address). Both Bill and Jeremy have answered all my emails within a couple of days. But unfortunately none of this seems to be the norm for forum members here.

There's the reason I'm the only one working for my current employer - it has everything to do with managing people and my inability to do it. It's hard work.
