Title: New Google feature has Wico print catalog online
Post by: rosborn on June 10, 2002, 08:31:57 pm
Google has a new catalog search feature at http://catalogs.google.com.  It's a really interesting search engine.  One of the catalogs they have available is the Wico print catalog.  I've requested one from them a couple of times and never received one.  Here is a direct link to the catalog:  http://catalogs.google.com/catalogs?hl=en&lr=&issue=6613&catpage=cover

You can find this printed catalogue also on Wico's site itself. However, this company sucks, I doubt they would send me anything due to their private-person politics.

Have you seen what they all want to know to get an account by them? Heaven, never seen a german company that would ask for so much and still has customers!

Unfortunately they got these Leafbuttons I'd like to have (if I only knew the price) - but I guess I don't ever try to order from them.

I went to wico's site, gave them my address (in US) and requested a catalog.  It showed up 2 weeks later, no problem.

Prices aren't in it (it is exactly the same as the online one) but the prices are on a separate pamphlet that comes with the catalog, you look up the part # and there is the price.

If you want leaf buttons then I suggest you try the UK branch of Suzo. They will sell directly to the public (ask for Jed Price). The Suzo catalogue is identical to the Wico one.

Alternatively Video Connection sell them incredibly cheaply.

i requested their catalog 2 times and got nothing. not that i would ever order from them again, it took them weeks to deliver my popn music buttons when i paid for NEXT DAY shipping. you can believe i was calling them everyday asking where they were and they said oh they should be going out today... for like 2 weeks.

but yeah ive heard nothing but horrible stories from others as well and i dont recommend ordering from them at all
