Macs - how come
Lots of complaints about Macs. No matter which supplier is searched the first return that comes up is Macs with a 4 1/2 star rating. How does this happen when there is so much displeasure?

Probably because Macs pays Google to be at the top of the ads.

Re: Macs - how come
We used Mac’s for almost 40 years before they were sold. Never had a problem, and if there were an item that we did not like, there was no problem with return.
I have placed a number of small orders with the new Mac’s over the last two years without any issues. One item ordered was defective, they paid the freight back and credited me. I would still use them as a supplier. Enjoy. |

Re: Macs - how come
I have used most of the Vendors and we are so lucky to have so many choices!
All have good and bad days but don't we all? All in all they ALL have many more good days! Just imagine your frustration if you had a Dodge or Chevy of the same vintage and try to get parts! |

All that said, i usually go with Snyder's... But have bought from MAC's with no problems. The times I have ordered from MAC's is when the other Vendors either don't have or don't carry a particular item. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 06-27-2018 at 06:57 PM. |

Re: Macs - how come
The other suppliers, Berts, Brattons, Snyders have Model A people answering the phones. If you need help or advise they can help. I don't think the same can be said of Macs.

Re: Macs - how come
Is this the 27th or the 28th thread on MAC's?

That's for sure! I've owned non-Fords - GM (Chev, at least) parts availability isn't as good as Ford but better than MoPar. At least some Ford parts are the same as Chrysler Corp, or are close enough to work. |

Re: Macs - how come
Here we go again with MAC'S. In you don't like, find another vendor.

Re: Macs - how come
I live in Maine and use TAM'S for all my Model A parts because they are in Massachusetts AND either Joe or Joanne answers the phone ( owner & daughter ) Freight/postage is less expensive, they know Model A parts and are always interested in getting me what I want.

Re: Macs - how come
Mac’s, for me, is just one of many choices for Model A stuff! I like great customer service and I get it with MikesAFordable!

Re: Macs - how come
I've noticed a lot of people selling Mac's reproduction parts in the Swap Meet section and on Craig's List, some of it still in the packaging. Same story, "sold my A and no longer need these parts."
Makes me wonder if the sellers were just not satisfied with the quality of the parts. David Serrano |
