Email From CycloWiz.com - Order Delayed

I have had the following email from www.cyclowiz.com today:

Dear Avid Customers,
We have confirmed with our supplier that we should have the CycloWiz in
stock and ready to ship Tuesday February 13th for both first and second
batch orders. Please note that all sales are final and we have already
pre-arranged shipping to ensure the fastest turnaround time possible. We
will be sending individual emails out to confirm shipment of items when the
time comes.
Thank you for shipping at CycloWiz.com!

I am dissapointed with the because when I ordered it I was order number 26. I was told yesterday that it would be posted Friday/Monday but now I get this!

YA!!! Wtf... me too.

Not only that.. but if I've got the D2B.. they're not going to refund my money.

Not too happy about this....

when you say #26, is that #26 in the first or second batch?

It's number 26 in the first batch! That's what annoys me!

I am really angered by this. This re-seller was on the forums spamming always, and I warned people against him. Why would you buy a product off someone with a template crafted website and is incredibly un-professional.

Narrow minded will always flame and say why can't I post this link here and that, the problem is there are poor business men in this industry, VERY POOR. So you have to be super careful.

He does seem to have bought stock, but I think his business practices leave a lot to be required.

hmm i haven't received any email; hope mine goes out Tuesday also lol

I am also very upset by this. I purchased the first day and was part of the "first batch", which was quoted on the web site as shipping Feb 7th. Today I also recevied the notice that my order will be delayed. Additionally, 5 days after I ordered it was announced that the product will not work with all Wii's - and it turns out I have a D2B chipset which means the Cyclowiz is worthless to me. Despite it never being mentioned on the web site (until this week), or on my original invoice, they are taking a "all sales final" stance. I am under the impression that it is illegal in the state of California (where I am) to change the terms of a sale after the fact. Given the fact that Craig Andrews, the proprietor of cyclowiz.com, is also in the US I'm sure there is legal recourse for me as a consumer. But, unfortunately like most shady businesses, my $42 is just not worth the hassle required to recover it.
I expect that after I recieve my unit (Feb 20th?), I will try to re-sell it for about half what I paid. If anyone with a DMS or D2A chipset (and enough patience to have not ordered arlready) would like it, please let me know.

I have not receive this email.... and I am the order #53 of the first batch...

Sounds like the shipment from Team Cyclops was delayed. Not really his fault.

I agree that the "all sales final" stance blows and is a sign of poor customer service. Especially since the info was announced after a lot of us ordered.

I was order #121.. and the "all sales final" thing was there when I ordered.. it is not in the invoice, but it was clearly on the website.

People that have ordered the "CycloWiz" from "gamefreak" have got this email:

The CycloWiz does not work in Wii consoles which use the GC2-D2B chipset,
just like its "pre-decessor" the Wiinja.

For this reason we decided to completely remove the CycloWiz now from the assortment.

All of your CyloWiz orders will be replaced by the WiiKey.

The Wiikey runs in all current models of the Wii consoles...

What's funny is that he is completely gone now, unwilling to show his face on the boards and explain what is going on.

If there is a delay, come on here and say so. People will be more understanding than if you are trying to hide.

I am sure you will be able to get your full amount locally through craigs list or something. As long as you sell it fairly soon after gettiing it.

It's not like there are many options out there right now.

I received an email from Canada Post today saying that Divineo has shipped my order.

I hope it will arrive early next week...

Who says he lives in US?
