"what we have here is a failure to communicate..." I've met Joe and dealt with him in the past. Don't think he would intentionally screw or mislead you. I've even gotten parts from D. Carpenter in Made in China bags. So good luck with Mac's. Maybe a call to Joe and explanation is in order. Just my two cents.

So now that you've dissed the man on the World~Wide~Web, and probably also on the phone, you'll expect him to bend over and apologize for the mistake. Good luck on that.

Purchased a large order of parts from Joe's Antique Auto Parts in Uxbridge Ma. I payed the extra money and was promised higher grade Raybestos parts for my brake job on my old 39 Flat head Ford Coupe. When the ordered was received one part was higher grade USA made part by Raybestos the rest of the parts were the cheap made in China garbage. Long story goes, Joe himself was selling me these items taking my order and telling me about the problems with the cheap wheel cylinders from China and not to buy them and to purchaser the Raybestos higher grade one for the cost of more $, so I went with the high grade Raybestos ones. Then what he sent me was same items he said were having the problems and were the less expensive ones, W T H? All items that I received were repackaged in plastic baggies with part numbers in black magic marker on baggie and smelling of brake fluid when opened. Most likely are returns from someone else having problems. I was told that these are what Raybestos shipped to Joe??? That not true as I called and spoke to sales person at Raybestos. I was told their wheel cylinders are made in USA and only carry rebuild kits for the certain ones that I was needing. Also was told how parts are packaged and shipped, not in plastic baggies but in boxes and actual cylinder wrapped in a plastic type wrapper.. I will no longer purchase from Joe's Antique Auto parts and if I want cheap China made parts I will just have to buy from Mac's from now on and get a much better deal and pay honestly what the parts are worth along with various discounts at times. Figured I would have dealt with a good reputable store as I read about Joe's being a straight shooter. Not in my book thats for sure. Hope he enjoys the money he scammed from me. Joe's Antique Auto Parts rip off, Doc
