Milltech Marine rip off!!!

I bought a AIS splitter from Milltech Marine and then decided to buy an AIS unit with the built-in splitter and wifi. I returned the AIS splitter I had bought and they charged me over $54 return fee! Not to mention I had to eat the shipping both ways! Another $30 down the drain. So for a $229 splitter I lost $84. I guess they punish people for returning their products. I would hate to think what they would charge, in return fees, for a much more expensive unit.

I was going to buy an AIS transponder with wifi and splitter built-in. I will be looking elsewhere from now on.

Cry me a river...

So they should pay the shipping for your sloppy decision making, and go through the testing and inspection they need to do before they can sell it so someone else at a reduced price as an open box item?? All at no cost to you? Just pass it on to other customers who do their homework BEFORE they buy?

I think your expectations are beyond unreasonable.

I have never returned anything to Milltech But I have bought several items from them over the years. They have always given me very good service and free with their time to advise both purchase and technical advice . Did you contact them and discuss your dissatisfaction?

Re: Milltech Marine rip off!!!

All good points. Maybe I should have calmed down before I posted. I did read the TOS and return policy. I spent lot of time trying to make a decision on the unit. I don't have a habit of sloppy decisions. But I guess I did this time. No need to cry me a river. I don't need anyones sympathy. Not angry or feeling sorry for myself. Maybe kicking myself a little.
