Beware of ordering from the sales staff at Hummingbird. - 11/05/20 04:38 AM
Contacted Hummingbird Factory Outlet. Told the lady on the phone I want a #411320-1 which sells for $2999.99 plus Texas state tax. Told her it’s a 15 inch Helix Chirp Mega SI + GPS G4N. I new exactly what I wanted. She said okay. She placed the order for me and said she sent me the invoice to my email. Didn’t find the email reconnected to her and she said she had sent it. It came through while I was speaking with her. ( She had not sent it / she didn’t won’t me to see it ) I stated this is not what I ordered it shows to be a 411320-1 CHO. For those that may not know CHO stands for control head only NO Transducer included. I said why did you order a CHO after I told you exactly what i wanted and she said because we have that one in stock and the other one is on back order. Well I have owned several businesses and can tell you that she is on commission. She was willing to send me the wrong unit so she could collect her commission NOW when the order was finalized. Be careful when dealing with Hummingbird during the back order period are this will happen to you. I do realize how the commission sale people work. If they sell you a unit on back order they are not paid until it is ships. I got scammed by a sales person not Hummingbird. This would have cost Hummingbird reshipping and you know they don’t won’t that.
