MRE Brand Studios or Michael Reed describes his business as a complete Fulfillment Service where he offered us screenprinting, heat transfers (for our upcoming apparel line), labeling, relabeling, tagging and bagging.
Michael Reed contacted us on New Year's Day indicating that he would like to be apart of our business by helping us cut cost to our current screen printing needs. He scammed us by offering his heat transfer service where we offered our artwork of our t-shirt designs and promised to order 600 heat transfers for us. On 1/18 we met at his warehouse where he said he does fullfilment services. We went there thinking that his office was a little empty but he lead us next door which he proclaimed as his warehouse. Come to find out later that the warehouse next door was not his, instead is owned by H2OLabs which is not even affiliated by him. He took us to H2OLabs and said it was, he introduced us to the staff as "his" staff. I later found out that they are not affiliated and that Michael Reed lied to us by saying that was his warehouse and screen print. He only owns the "supposed" fullfillment service where he just tags and bags apparel and ships them to stores. He does not do any screenprinting at all. Anyway, he told us that we had to give him a 75% deposit and a check would be preferable, we paid him in good faith. After that, he promised to deliver the heat transfers to us in 3 weeks. We also left him 60 blank t-shirts as well as our own labels, hang tags and PVC tags for him to use when the 600 heat transfers would be done. It is now 2/19, we have not heard from him. We have left him numerous messages, calling him daily, texting him daily, emailing daily. I got a chance to speak with his assistant Grizelda Garcia. She promised to have Michael Reed call us. He never did. He left a message once indicating that he will call us back. We have yet to hear from him. He cashed the check that I wrote on 1/22, just days after I wrote it.
We have spoken with a number of his current and previous customers and they are all not satisfied. They have either left or are about to surrender services with this company.
We believe we will never see our 75% deposit again. Please be careful of MRE BRAND STUDIOS or by the man named Michael Reed. The sad part is that we really thought he was a great guy, we took him and his fiancee to dinner. We all had a great time. Little did we know, he was feeding us lies and bullcrap. Please be careful of him. He will take your money and run.
