I have ordered a new HDS8 and a few other things from this company and am having a hard time getting in touch with them to get a tracking number on my (for me) expensive purchase. So i am just checking to see if any of my TFF buddies have any experience with this company.
Oh and i should mention i found them through TFF.

I don't know how you paid but if it was by credit card I would notify the company and tell them you never recieved the merchandise.

Certified letter to their address..it is a registered agent...basically a law firm. From what I can tell they have no physical presence. I thought about buying from them when but when I couldn't find anyfhng about them I decided against it.

you can have a mod look into it, I believe. and if they find the company to be shady- they will then ban them from future sales.

Guys ! I'm Marty Ivory. I'm legitimate. fishfinderking is an online store only. MI Online Ventures LLC is a registered company in Wyoming and it is a service company address. It is registered there for tax reasons. There are other TFF guys that have bought from me and are happy.
BigKidx21 Bought an HDS8 from me but we ran out of stock so I have refunded his money. You can ask him if you like.
if anyone wants to contact me they can via email info@fishfinderking.com thanks. Marty

I ordered from Fish Finder King and I'd recommend Marty. Just email him if you have questions. He'll get back to you fast.

I will say that he did refund my money promptly. The thing is that it just made me nervous that the address on their website was state-side (Cheyenne, Wyoming) and after the order was placed is when i noticed that they were in New Zealand. I truly have nothing bad top say about Fishfinderking.com, but, i had never made such a large purchase online and probably i was just a little jumpy when i saw the different locations. Thanks again Marty and i'm sorry for all the confusion.

I did some further research and it appears Marty is from New Zealand (based on his phone number) and has registered a LLC in Wisconsin. He appears to be using a New Jersey distributor. He is probably a good guy but I do have some concerns making such a large purchase through a foreign intermediary.
I could be wrong, but I can't see any other reason to have a number such as:
Phone: 64 9 5272239
I thought it was a typo and it was really suppose to be 649-527-2239...but it doesn't appear that 649 is an US aera code; however, 64 is the country code for New Zealand.
