If a company either buys or produces that item, which is then returned, the company is then out the cost of the item and any fees associated with it (shipping, labor, taxes, etc...). Only if and when the item is sold again does the company make their money back, with if being a big part of that. In the meantime, that cost is a drag on the company's finances.

Disclaimer: I am not speaking directly about MBH's headers, but to restock fees in general.

Did you buy a set of headers from us? No. Than how would know our customer service is crap? You have no idea. If someone say something.. in your mind it must be true. As got greed, If you only new how little we make off our products you would know we are not greedy. Our stainless steel pricing have gone through the roof and I refused to do a price increase. In turn I make even less. Does that sound like greed?

Sadly, like most people, the detractors on this thread probably do not comprehend the risk and expense. It's easy to be an armchair expert and hurl criticism and insults with a few keystrokes. It takes guts, hard work, sacrifice, and lots of stress and long hours to start and grow a successful business.

Intold him that I had an e55 and was doing kleeman headers on it. He said "I have no mid section for you kleemanns, none of our setups will work with them!. I told him I didn't care, I still wanted to buy th x pipe midsection he had and that I would modify it to make it work. He said "sorry I can't just sell you the midsection." I was like, alright. Thank you!! Bye!

I called this guy Mike at MBH Motorsports and spoke to him and told him I had a 2 week Window to have them in my hand cause I was transporting the car on week 3 and it had to be running by then. He told me no prob piece of cake and charged my card $2700. He was gonna get back to me the next day with an exact ETA and possibly tracking number cause he said he had a vendor that had a set on a shelf he could possibly drop ship. 1 week goes by and I hear nothing.... Emailed once and called 3 times. Week 2 goes by and called about 20 times leaving several messages and emailed another few times. Finally after 2 weeks and 3 days my deadline was up so I found a Renntech set and had them overnighted. I emailed the owner stating i have heard nothing since he took my money and transport was picking my car up on tues and I had to spend 3k on another set and how I have emailed and called over 30 times trying to get ahold of him and his response was "our phones are broke" im posting a pic of that email cause it's suck a weak excuse it's sad. So then he tells me on the phone it's coming along and gonna be another couple weeks. So this would mean about 5 weeks and week 6 I would have them in my hand. So I tell him he failed his end of the deal and I bought Renntech ones cause that's what was immediately availible and he trashes Renntech saying how bad they suck and this and that and only refunded me $2200. He kept $500 as a service charge. Then I got to reading about other people's experiences and they had the same. Took months to get their headers and when they tried to cancel order he keeps $500 as a "I'm a lazy peice of **** fee that didn't Get them built fee" so you can't cancel. Stay away from this fraud buisiness so called header guy. He DOES not deliver anything and keeps your money but will tell you anything you need to hear when placing the order. My credit card reduced my whole amount and Is pursuing him but just warning everybody else not to give this guy anything unless parts are ready to ship or you will not get them for months. Another member told me he waits until he has 3 or more orders to build so it cost him less to have his welder set up the jigs. People on here say He works out of his garage with a Bender and welder and doesn't even have a shop and his charge to your credit card won't match the company you bought from. Total fraud and he is a total joke
