Anyone ordered a TM from them? Looking to get a new Fortrex and they are $100 plus cheaper than everywhere else. They are new still with full warranties it says. Good reviews?

No TM, but have purchased several Lowrance HDS units from them. Excellent prices and products. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. Recommended to a friend for HB Helix unit, he was very pleased also.

Bought a Humminbird years ago. By far the best price I could find. Will buy from them again.

I've ordered multiple big items off Universal Mania and have been very pleased. Their prices are usually so much better that you think there has to be a catch, but there isn't any that I've found.

Just did a fish finder last month. Got it fast with no issues. I even took out an extended warranty on it because the warranty was pretty cheap. My understanding of their warranty is to ship it back to them and they'll replace it or refund the money, not through humminbird.

Bobby, I have purchased a couple Lowrance units from them with extended warranty and quizzed them down pretty good on how it works. The extended warranty is in play after the manufacturers warranty runs out, then you deal with UM. In my case, I had a HDS G2 go bad, Lowrance replaced it with a G3. I then had to contact UM and provide them with the replacement unit serial number so the extended warranty would eventually apply to it. Just did a fish finder last month. Got it fast with no issues.

Seems to be the same warranty on all their products. Wasn't sure how good it would be but it was cheap enough I thought that I'd take the chance. Good to know to contact them if it gets replaced.

Did they say what their policy is if the warranted purchase is discontinued? Some of these products are updated every 2 years or so and no longer available. I am just curious cuz I have bought several fish finders over the years and never asked them about their company extended warranty.

That post is 5 years old. No telling how they have changed their customer service since then.
