Question Welcome Kit

Just wondering how long it took everyone to get their welcome kit? Does it even exist? I know my g/f got hers about a month after buying her Mazda3, and I've had my 8 for more than two months now. I don't even want it that much, except for the touch-up paint, which I have an immediate use for. So, do we even get one? I seem to remember some people talk about it. And if so, how long did it take after the purchase?

8 months, doesn't sound like your getting it! I received mine 2 months after I bought the car, then I received another one about 2 weeks after that?! Call Mazda N.A. 1800 222 5500 I know it by memory now, isn't that sad. Haha. Tell them you never received it and your friend did, you need touch up paint, they should send it, but who knows with Mazda sometimes. Good luck , bye.

Thank you devious. I've been too lazy :D But since the number is right here, and I need it from a rock chip.. I shall call today
We bought (2) 8s at the same time, and neither kit has come in.

I got a kit yesterday in the mail from my dealer that had about 2 dozen gourmet chocolate chip cookies in it. They were awesome! I don't think that's the same kit though!

Welcome kit?

I got a thank you letter from my dealer within a week or so of picking up the car. Coupons for free touch up paint and 10% off any dealer purchased and installed parts or accessories.

I picked up the touchup paint on Saturday and let myself get sucked into buying the rotary lapel pin. If I wear it on a lapel-less shirt it'll look like Capt. Kirk's communicator. Can I sneak into Trekkie conventions.

Oh, and a pair of good driving shoes too.

It took two months to get mine (purchased 8/03) from Mazda (came in the steering wheel lookin case) and then got just a bottle of touch-up from the dealer a week later, in a bubble wrap mailer bag.
