    Default Akebono pads - Euro or ProACT?

    I've ordered front and rear Akebono 'Euro' pads from Tire Rack in the U.S.
    For anyone in Australia considering buying anything from Tire Rack you may as well forget using a credit card because Tire Rack will contact your bank here in Australia to confirm you are the genuine holder of the card..... BUT the bank won't give out that information, so credit card transactions appear to be impossible.

    With the amount of internet based credit card fraud around I fully understand a company doing this to cover themselves against a fraudulent purchase but it meant I had to do a Telegraphic Transfer which added another $60.00 odd to the cost!!

    Now after receiving an email confirming receipt of my payment Tire Rack now tell me they are sending me ProACT pads for the rear and Euro pads for the front.

    It appears they screwed up my order as I ordered Euro pads all round but they have charged me for the cheaper ProACT's which I didn't order.

    I replied to the email pointing out their error.
    I hope they come good and send me what I ordered at the price they originally quoted me because another Telegraphic Transfer will cost me another $60.00 on top of the difference - Keep you posted!
