My Quest in buying parts online.
I thought I would vent on my quest to buy a Mac Pro Chamber O/R mid pipe for long tube headers. And I'm not new at buying auto parts online.
Nov. 1st 2005:
I searched online for the best price for a Mac Pro Chamber O/R mid pipe for long tube headers. I also posted on stangnet asking members for the best price and place to buy. Well everyone said that right here at stangnet Pro3I had the best prices and good shipping. I placed an order over the phone so that I would know that they had them in stock at $214.
The order was placed on Nov. 1st at 10:53 am and they said it would arrive in 5 business days on UPS.
Nov. 10th 2005:
When I did not receive my shipment by Nov. 10th (waited because of the weekend) I called Pro3I and inquired about my order and was told that they were on back order from Mac. When I first placed my order (on the phone Nov. 1st) I made sure I asked if they had them in stock and they did say they had one on the shelf. He put me on hold and called Mac to see when they could ship one. He told me that Mac was in the process of building more and would ship me one within 2 weeks.
Dec. 15th
I called and emailed Pro3I and was told that Mac had not finished them yet and would ship ASAP.
Mar 30th
Searching the internet I found that Proficient Performance had some for $179 with free shipping. I called them and asked if they had one in stock and told them I had been waiting for one sense Nov 1st from Pro3I. They said they did not have one in stock but he put me on hold and called Mac and asked if they had any. Mac told him they have had them done as of Nov 15th and would ship me one ASAP.
Pro3I has not called me or emailed me. Nothing, nada, zilch. They even lied to me when they said Mac didn’t have any!
Mac has had them in stock as of Nov.15th
April 5th
I received my Mac Pro Chamber O/R mid pipe for long tube headers from UPS on my doorstep and the box was ripped and the nuts and studs were missing the flange on one side where the headers bolt up was smashed. I called UPS and filed a claim and I also called Proficient Performance to let them know what happened.
April 8th
UPS finely called and about my claim and said they would get hold of Proficient Performance and fix the problem.
April 20th
I received from Proficient Performance 4 studs and 8 nuts. I called Proficient Performance and they said the best thing to do will be to have an exhaust shop fix the pipe and send the bill to them and they will take care of the UPS claim. So after work today I will go and have it fixed and maybe by next week I will get to put my new Mac long tube headers and Mac Pro chamber O/R pipe on.
Sorry fellow Stangers I just had to vent.
Anyone else have problems like this with buying parts.
