"I order 3 bats on June 18, 2008 from Mash Bats (Norhtern Mash Baseball Company). They were supposed to be received within 1-8 days. It is now 08/20/09. 420 days since my order and I have not gotten my bats. I contacted the BBB, and the Ministry of Small Business & Consumer Service and they tried to track him down with no luck. I have tried to email, call and post on this website with no response. I will go months without a response and the two I have gotten were Dave telling me that they had some "internet ordering issues" and then they were having some "supplier issues". This guy is a scumbag. DON'T ORDER FROM MASH BATS"

"I placed an order for two maple bats on October 1, 2006. I NEVER received them. That's right, Mash Bats, Northern Bat Company, whatever else they want to call themselves, gipped me of $200. I had used this company about 10 years ago for 3 white ash bats. The bats performed really well for me so I wanted to purchase another couple since the ones I had finally broke.
So I ordered the bats on 10/1/06 and received confirmation from Pay Pal that the order was sent through and charged.
I received a confirmation email from Dave Valentini on 10/3/06 confirming that my order looked good and that they would get right on the bats.
I didn't hear anything for a month and was leaving town for a few days so I emailed Dave on 11/3/06 to check on my order. He responded the same day telling me they were applying the "final black finish" and then would personalize the bats and ship them.
I waited a few more weeks and when I hadn't heard anything I emailed him again. No response.
I called the two listed phone numbers on the web site. No response.
I sent a message using the IM device on the website. Still no response.
I tried calling a few dozen more times and leaving messages. No response.
Since then I have filed a Better Business Bureau report and found out that this is common with Mash Bats. They often take money and don't ship the product. I also filed a report with Pay Pal. Unfortunately I have yet to receive my money back and I am out $210.
Supposedly Mash Bats has a professional contract with Manny Ramirez and others. I am going to be writing to every MLB player that they list on their website and let them know that Mash Bats is ripping people off. Mash Bats will be out of business when I am through with them."
