MG MGA - MacGregor British Car Parts???

I ordered parts on September 9th from Martin J. MacGregor and still have not seen a charge to my account and can't seem to get in touch with Mr. MacGregor. Has anyone ordered part from MacGregor British before? Should I be concerned?

I ordered a couple of years ago and had no problems. The items have to go thru customs (he takes care of that with the package labeling), maybe there's a hang up there. Also, perhaps he didn't get to filling the order until last week since Sept 10/11 was a weekend.

Several years ago, I tried to order from him and had a bad experience. Same as you, I tried contacting him after a few weeks and I never heard back. When I finally reached him on the phone he was clearly annoyed that I had been following-up on the order. The order was never filled, and my account was never charged, so no real harm done. I am convinced that if I had NOT followed-up, I would have received the order (eventually).

I ordered door seals from MacGregor as I read here that they are superior quality. They arrived quite quickly with no problems and I have been very satisfied. But then they did not have to cross the border, which can certainly cause delays in either direction.

I've ordered boot seals from him, and they came promptly. Maybe a delay at the border, or UPS (oops) problems. I did not have a border issue as I live in Canada.

I have the same problem. I ordered seals from him 8 weeks ago and my account has not been charged and of course I don't have the seals. I ordered stuff from him a couple of years back and it took a long tiem to come but not this long.

Finally got my seals last weekend. The items were fine and economical but I would have liked a little more promptness.

I had a call from Martin McGregor today with apologies for the delay due to their workload. My seals are apparently on their way. I wonder if this forum had anything to do with it.

Martin's stuff is great, but he has always used the "workload" excuse.
