I bought Timken rear wheel bearings on EBay advertised as made in Japan . Photo says NTN Japan on inner race. The bearings came packaged in yellow boxes clearly saying made in China. Now what ? Can I sue ? My installer's fee was $400 .

 

Last set of timkens i got were from china as well for our rogue. Was pretty pissed since i was trying to avoid buying chinese bearings. So far they seem to be better than the moogs that were in it that only lasted a year. Seems nearly all manufacturers are going to china. Centric might be the only US brand now and not even sure on those. Highly doubt you can sue. Just use there warrantee if needed.

 

No. . . but you can file a claim with your credit card company for not receiving what you ordered and get the cost of the bearings back(Amex is REALLY really good with this)

 

Why are so many damn people sue happy......

 

would you be happy that you bought Chinese bearings when the EBay add showed Japanese NTN Japan stamped on the bearing in the add photo

 

Would you ????

 

I dont buy anything off ebay, I buy from reputable shops or oem. Try to sue, see how it works out for ya.....other than being out more money

 

EBay have already indicated this is fraud and they are going to act for me/

 

Even had this issue with rock auto. If you understand manufacturing and suppliers you honestly don't know what you are getting and where it is from till you receive it. The supplier on ebay would not have even known. They would only know that it was a timken part.

 

Thank you...Amex it is am tomorrow.

 

Ya, but eBay(Chinese sellers) constantly misrepresent their items. I've purchased maybe 4-5 security camera's that were advertised as 1080p and received all 720p camera's, which is why I only use an American Express when I shop online.

 

Or LED lights advertised as let's say 6w, but you take them apart and they are only 3w. Happens a lot with no-name brand items

 

Amex are dealing with a refund. Thanks.
