Before I bought my MINI, I kept hearing about all the perks that MINI sends you after your purchase. Cups, underwear, used condems, etc.
I am on 8 weeks since my purchase and they haven't said Boo to me. Where the hell is my stuff?

Ok..........don't know who's getting the used condoms, or where you some of you guys are shoppin' for MINIs, but it usually depends on what kind of MINI dealer you are dealing with. Some send more 'stuff' than others. Some don't send squat. A lot of it before, was when the MINI first started coming out. So now the quanity of 'stuff' has somewhat deminished a tad, from my observations. I got some pretty schnazzy items from mine, as did others. But the point here I think, is that you got what you REALLY want and need..........which is the MINI.........right? Sounds like you have a nice lookin' MCS. Enjoy what really counts. There's some interesting items (stuff from dealers, promo stuff, etc) on eBay and elsewhere if you really need your fix. My dealer still has a lot of stuff on site, and seems to have updated new stuff to hand out everytime I'm there. Maybe something fell through the cracks with your situation, I dunno. But be happy with the MINI. :smile:
Cheers,

By "cups", you mean athletic supporters, right?

The day I get any of those items with my new car purchase......I'll eat my boxers!
I hope my MINI dealer isn't listening in now though.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

I didn't get free stuff in the mail for several months- maybe 4 or 5, maybe more.
Don't worry, just be sure the dealer has your name or give MINIUSA a ring so they know you are alive and kicking.

It took 6-8 weeks for my first stuff to arrive, with the last item arriving about 30 days after that. Haven't gotten anything since June.

It's also possible that MINI isn't sending stuff out anymore...

I think they do mass mailings... I have had my MINI for 3 1/2 months and haven't seen anything... But I feel confident that we all will in the next couple of months. But seriously folks... we didn't buy the MINI for the free stuff... we bought it because it's a ton of fun. Am i right???

Oh... by the way... some dealers do send things out but we have no control over the free MINI stuff.

I got my MINI in Italy so needless to say I got all the "perks" in Italian. What good is a CD I can't even play back here in the Good Ole US of A. At least I got a mousepad that screws up my optical mouse whenever i move it.

I’m with MINI USA. I’m sorry to read about this problem with your lack of "stuff". We have found it easier and more profitable to ignore you, the MINI owner, after your purchase. We do have a few Yo-Yo's and ball point pens left over. If you would like we will be happy to send them to you. Not many people like the Yo-Yo's it seems, but the pens will assist you in locating the source of your soon-to-be cracked windshield. If you want our assistance, please phone us at (866) ASK MINI and mention Reference # 200406500028 so that we can help you more efficiently.

I heard the delivery truck with your stuff got lost somewhere over in Williams...It was last seen with an oddly smelling smoke coming out of the driver's area heard with lots of giggling and the muches of munchies...

The "stuff" sucks anyway. Don't worry your "stuff" ....oh I mean "junk", will show up in good time. :smile:

What would have been really nice is a quality Mini tire pressure gauge. Instead of all of the worthless "stuff"

So How do I really fell about the "stuff" ?....
