Kind of a blessing in disguise maybe. You could be out $3500 and have a wrecked turbo along with the sled.
Go CPC next time and you will be happy.

If they can show you a tracking number than you should be on the hook for what you ordered. They shouldn't charge a restocking fee on something that never left their hands. You crashing your sled/not being able to afford something you ordered shouldn't be their problem even if their production time went past their estimate. Be glad it wasn't 15 or 20% which are also understandable amounts for the b.s. that goes with returns and accounting for them.

And order your turbo kit in the summer time. Always hear guys complaining of having to wait for a turbo kit when they order it after the season has started. Its like shopping for gifts on Christmas eve. I would say 10% is fair. It's not Push's fault you wrecked your sled.

10% is cheap man.....
x2 - When I was shopping for a turbo kit a few years ago, the places I called in the Fall time had a 6-8 week lead time. You have to expect this with sled performance parts, there seems to always be a delay. Ever try and order a Boss seat before?
not true
I did not tell you a week. No did I take any of you money as deposit or anything right? I ordered it just for you special order and now I am out 3000 thanks. And now I not only am sitting on a 3000 turbo I am getting bashed on Sw. Priceless.

A restocking fee 10% not an issue. Taking it to the internet wrong! it doesn't apear that he ripped you off!
I was reading on hear about someone haveing to take some turbo guy back in Mn and he escaped with his 5grand and went into hidding! So I think you should be thankful and maybe post a note on here your sorry!

Hold on there....I am not bashing anyone, just asking. My take was..Is... these turbo's were in high demand and was told I would be called "next week" more than once when wondering what happened to it. If these are not working as they were advertised and I would have burnt down my sled then yes 350 is cheap, BUT if they are hard to get ahold of then I just thought a restocking fee on a hot item was unfair. I was willing to pay shipping, but figured the turbo could be resold and no one would be out anything. I will say I was treated very well when I was spending money, however when my sled got wrecked and I called to see what we could do....THINGS CHANGED...if thats bashing...sorry....but thats the facts....I guess you should read the receipt before you order but I didn't get the receipt untill after so how does that work????

If the turbo kit was "special ordered" just for you, you should feel lucky all you are doing is paying a restock fee. Special Orders in many cases and industries are non returnable. Once you place the order you must take delivery and pay in full.
If the kit was purchased by the dealer to "stock" and sell to whomever ordered it from them, and the item was never opened or shipped, I can see waiving the restock fee, but once that item is shipped 10% is very fair.

You also have to look at it from MMs side. When we as a dealer or distributor order something, the supplier usually has our credit card on file and runs the card right now, no questions asked. So while you are anxious to get your turbo, MM is MORE THAN ANXIOUS because he has paid in full for it from day one. So.....if he ordered 5 kits, he has around 15-20K out and needs to get them on the sleds and get paid for them as soon as possible. If someone backs out, he is stuck paying interest on the card that he used until he can recoup the funds.
Tree magnet, I can see where you're coming from, and understand your point of view... but I'm really surprised they Kevin was willing to take the turbo back at all.
In general, if the item has shipped I figure it's my deal. After that I've got to try to sell it myself.
Just 2 days ago I ordered a piston from Michelle, then that evening I realized that the problem I had was with the idiot pushing the throttle... no problem in the motor at all... now I've got a piston I don't need.. my deal, not hers I figure.
From a cost perspective, some of that price is from time that Kevin can't get back, ordering, shipping, phone calls, physically dealing with parts to get a kit together... I know that seems like minimal stuff, but It makes that 10% seem pretty reasonable to me anyhow.

It sounds like things did change, you wrecked your sled and wanted to cancel the turbo because you stretched yourself out and couldn't afford both, which you have now made someone else's financial problem(MMsports). I know enough that if my dealer orders parts for me, money must have left his pocket before someone sold the parts to him. To say you figured that MM could just go ahead and sell a hot ticket item is only just trying to justify your mistake.
I agree with a previous post, if you can't piss away $350 then maybe a turbo machine isn't what you are looking for. Hell, if you can't afford to drop a grand, a turbo most likely isn't for you. If I wreck my sled tomorrow I can afford to fix it. I know my financial limits and play within them. Personally I would have held you to the turbo purchase. Once again, $350 is more than fair, considering all angles.
To be honest, the CPC, BD and Twisted are a more hot ticket item than the Push. Not trying to bash and I'm not saying the Push kits are bad, just putting it into numbers and kits out on the snow, sorry. Perhaps Push was waiting on delivery from a manufacture for parts to complete some kits. You want an incomplete kit? If it was indeed a special order kit than there is a very good chance your kit was waiting on parts for completion. If MM was telling you "next week" then he was probably being told "next week" from Push.
Like I said before, you ordered a turbo kit after the season had started. To expect it in a week, even if that is what you were told, is boldly optimistic. I ordered my CPC kit in June and I didn't expect to see it until September. CPC was waiting on some parts to come in from a manufacturer and I got the kit a few weeks later. A few weeks, not one. I was on my boat and there was no snow and no demand and it took a few weeks. Read the forum and see how many people want want want and have to wait wait wait because they ordered last minute. It's like kids at Christmas, if they don't get their way it's cry cry cry.
If I were you I would be happy and relieved that MMsports let you off the hook for the entire purchase of the kit. He took the financial hit/risk for you and basically did you a huge favour by allowing you to escape out of a tight spot financially and let you use that money for fixing your sled, not everyone would have done that. The $350 he kept for services and time rendered (restocking fee) is nothing you should gripe about. And waiting a month for a turbo kit this time of year is basically to be expected.
All I have to say is you ordered a $3000 plus turbo kit, but cant afford the $100-250 to insure it. Or you get the turbo kit as planned because you should have that money in hand right, then save to fix the sled. With a name of treemagnet, I would have insurance. I pay $250 a year and have a $250 deductible, If I wrecked my sled I would make money.
So all in all I'm not completely sure which side I stand on (its all hearsay) but you look a little silly in this aspect.

OK I guess it was fair. I stand corrected......Thanks for the break then MMSports.
