Dealing with mac's. Auto parts

[FROG_PONDS]

Just checking to see if this has happened to anyone other than me.i got an email from mac's. For 10% discount on anything totaling $250.00 and up for valentines day. I called and started to place my order for the discount. The sales person said that the inner tubes i wanted to order was not under the 10% discount. He and i both reviewed the email add and nothing was excluded on the offer. He then called his supervisor who informed him that the inner tubes would only qualify for 5% discount. I canceled my order. This may be a small thing but i think it is bad business. Thanks for reading this. Rich

I'm a newby Model A owner and just starting the final 20% of the restoration, and have been ordering parts from Mac, and several of the items just don't fit; to wit a battery hold-down which is at least 1" to short of the studs. Are all Asian parts this bad? Is there any vendor who sells good old USA made parts? I spoke with Mac and they said to return the parts, but the shipping cost outweighs the refund.

As with most vendors, not all items are discounted at the time of the discounts. When I get a "discounted offer" I will always ask which item that I need is not offered at the discount. This normally clears it up for me.
