Anybody here ever order anything from hummingbird factory outlet store?
Tried to today and bank declined due to possible fraud. They may be a legit store or maybe not. Just wanting to know if any of you have ordered from them.

That’s possibly just your bank flagging a purchase that is outside your normal spending habits. My bank will send me a text about online purchases, asking me if I attempted to make a purchase online from that company. When I answer yes, I can proceed with the purchase.

Never ordered anything from them but did read that Humminbird is in no way affiliated with that website.

When I went to the Apple store to buy my daughter a computer for school. My credit card denied it. I called them from the store, gave them some information and they unblocked the card for the purchase. I guess Apple is a common place credit card thieves use stollen cards.

I ended up with a new bird 898 when they first came out.
they lied about the delivery window, lied about it being shipped but I did finally get a refund of the 1,499.00
about 2 months after they refunded me they sent me a unit, seems someone forgot to cancel the order.
called and was told to keep it, too much trouble to ship back.
no, I would not recommend to a friend.
if they are in the bronx nyc they are the same co.

I ordered from them and after waiting forever to get my purchase which they kept promising, I checked them out. They are not associated with the real Humminbird. Cancelled my order and finally got my money back. Lesson learned.

Update! After reading all the comments I was a bit concerned. However the new unit showed up today. Maybe I got lucky?
