Many products such as turbos, injectors, injection pumps, high pressure oil pumps, water pumps and some EGR coolers have a core charge that is associated with the new replacement part. You must return the old part to receive a refund on the core charge. All cores must be like for like and include all parts and pieces that were received on your new replacement product. Cores must be “as removed from engine”. Cores damaged from fire are not acceptable, also cores damaged from improper removal may not be acceptable.
Core Return Label
The core return label is an option offered by M&D to customers that buy products that have a core charge. For a small fee, M&D will send you a Shipping Label either to your email or mail box. This will save you money on the return shipping and will make sure your cores are returned to the correct address. The label will be insured to protect your core. This will make it a complete hassle free process. Only available for the 48 contiguous states. To request your returning Shipping Label or ask additional questions, please contact cores@mddistributors.com.
Upfront Core Charge
Upfront Core Charge will be charged on all remanufactured products. Once the core is returned you will promptly receive a credit to your account on all acceptable cores (see below), usually within 24 hours of receipt of core.

Return Cores in Advance
Customer returns cores in advance to avoid core charge. In stock orders will ship immediately once cores are received.
