Be careful is exactly right. There are websites with most name brand items with the brand in the link, but they are not the real deal. They often show up higher in the list than the correct website, so one has to be really careful when clicking on it. I had it happen ordering a humminbird 998c for something over $2,000. They took my money immediately even though the item was on back order for months. They would not answer the phone or emails. I paid through pay pal and they were of little help. I finally got my money back after complaining to the attorney general in their state. Looks like a company could limit the use of their "brand" in website links but apparently not. And, there was similar site for lowrance. Sucks for sure.

Gene, you just need to go out and catch another 3lb-er and everything will be better.  Sequence of events: I called humminbird 1-800-633-1468 A voice tells me I can order on line. Went to humminbird.com and placed an order 8/28/15 for a tranducer and an ethernet adapter cable received email confirmation from Humminbird called Humminbird today checking on order and was told my order was thru shopatronCalled shopatron, got a foreigner called mastercard to protest charges called humminbird customer service called marine repair center. I hope this is finally corrected. that is how my day (since 8:30) has been going

wow good to know! Be careful is exactly right. There are websites with most name brand items with the brand in the link, but they are not the real deal. They often show up higher in the list than the correct website, so one has to be really careful when clicking on it. I had it happen ordering a humminbird 998c for something over $2,000.
