Re: Mac's survey
When did these new owners take over. I was there in the summer of 2011 and was completely dissappointed.

bluesman31"Their shipping prices and policy are ridiculous in this day and age." Really? Have you actually shipped anything "in this day and age"? not to say actually paid someone to find it, box it and ship it? Stuff's expensive and if I get out for under 20% for shipping, that's a great deal. Got to be real-not everything's from 1928-1931. Last edited by 5window; 01-24-2013 at 10:38 AM. |

Re: Mac's survey
Colored pictures in the catalog are fine, if you think you need that amount of detail, but paying for that small amount of so-called extra class with the exobant shipping costs is unrealistic. Sorry .....no more parts from Macs

Re: Mac's survey
I buy my Model A stuff from Snyder's. I've bought a little V8 stuff from Mac's and have no complaints.

Re: Mac's survey
Both good and bad, but mostly good.
Have found their parts more reasonable then most and not bad shipping, as I live nearby. Customer service sometimes leaves something to be desired though, as they appear to have minimum wage workers with no knowledge.... |

Re: Mac's survey
I didn't know you had diff levels of discount.I think im limited to any carb,fuel pump and distributor parts. As i was your primary dist. rebuilder for quite a few yrs and ocationally did a carb or 2 for you. Kind of glad you switched to someone else as it was getting too much for me 1 man to handle anymore.Thanks for the help and yes Jon is a great guy to deal with. The best to you. ken ct.

Re: Mac's survey
During my resto over the last three years I have probably made over 30 orders totaling over a 100 parts with Macs. It can be said that my A is the Mac's catalog. Never had a problem with the exception of a couple of poor repro headlight parts. I bought gray seat belts in Jan 2010. Decided to have my interior done in brown and tan which was done a couple of months ago. I was thinking of dying the gray seat belts brown, but I decided to call Macs and see if they would consider a exchange after three years. I called Macs and they said they would exchange my gray seat belts for dark brown ones even though it's three years later. Not even charging me a restocking fee! So I have no problem with Mac's.

Re: Mac's survey
I have had no problems with Mac's. Recently I ordered the wrong part and they took it back and refunded my money with no problems. I don't wait very long for the pieces to show up at my house. Always good to come home to a bunch of Ford Parts.

Re: Mac's survey
To be honest with all of you, I never had a problem with Mac's. Everything I've ever ordered from them came in a timely fashion and in good condition.
I must be living in a cave. I was totally unaware that Mac's was sold. Has this been confirmed? Rog |

Re: Mac's survey
It's the new owners doing the survey. Must have heard the grumbling and are trying to improve the business, which makes a great deal of sense. JMO
