kscarbel Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 It was terrific of Barry and the good folks at Watts Mack to negotiate a 25 percent Mack Shop discount for BMT members.But having said that, the Mack Shop is not the quality nor size that it once was. For example, men's clothing and outerwear. The selection can best be described as sparce, with mediocre quality. Now for comparison, let's look at the impressive "shop" of another truckmaker. Note the vast selection and high quality of the presentation.http://webshop.scania.com/Webshop/CategoryStartPage.aspx?Catalog=GB-Catalog&Category=Scania%20Selection(ScaniaBaseCatalog)http://np.netpublicator.com/netpublication/n63787915http://np.netpublicator.com/netpublication/n18560331http://www.scania.com/products-services/webshop/ Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32113-the-mack-shop-versus-the-competitors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Now you are really stretching for things to complain about!Actually, if you take a moment to look at the links I provided to the Scania "shop", and view the wide range of high quality items, you'll hopefully realize that my thoughts are fact-based. Did you ever purchase from the Mack Shop during their heyday in the 1970s and 1980s?Naturally, Scania's offereing are adapted to different global regions, For example, here are the offerings for Australia (I suspect close to what America would get) http://www.scania.com.au/Images/pdf-Scania-Selection-Merchandise_tcm51-358122.pdf.

bullhusk Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Whos that?He was sort of a Bill O'Reilly kind of guy,he was a big journalist during WWII and the McCarthy hearings during the 50's ,spoke his mind weather ya liked it or not (another words he told the truth without the old MSMBC suger coat). I think he used to end his radio and TV show with 'Good night and good luck' always had a smoke in his hand..And thats all I have to say about that!BULLHUSK 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32113-the-mack-shop-versus-the-competitors/#findComment-196785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Whos that?Edward R. Murrow's reporting, beginning in World War II, opened an all-new chapter of journalism. He literally brought the Battle of Britain into the livingrooms of Americans from the rooftops of London during the "blitz". Murrow was legendary, and widely respected in the industry. He was the benchmark used by all the famous journalist of the 1960s and 1970s. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32113-the-mack-shop-versus-the-competitors/#findComment-196799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks for the discount, Id say the hats are a bit over priced and they really don't last long if you wear them daily. The discount helps the price and all , thanks again Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32113-the-mack-shop-versus-the-competitors/#findComment-196897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discount helps the price and all , thanks againThe Mack hats that Mack Trucks sourced years ago (Louisville Manufacturing) were made to last. But the hats sold now, besides being significantly higher in price, just aren't the same quality.

jaysm35a2 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The are made in China , I think if I remember right. I tried looking but the tags in my Mack hats are worn down to nothing. Il still order more, have to wear one when I drive a KW truck at work.
