Hobbies Discount/ Chris Oliver I did not get a pair of "1x High Powered Waterproof Night Vision Binoculars for Hunting, Bird Watching, Navigation or Simply Enjoying Nature for $49.95 each " and with tax $59.90." It doesn't state on their 'home page'. Internet
I ordered and paid for one pair of "1x High Powered Waterproof Night Vision Binoculars for Hunting, Bird Watching, Navigation or Simply Enjoying Nature for $49.95 each " and with tax it came out to $59.90 from Hobbies Discount. The Hobbies Discount confirmation # was 'order #52730' and sent to me via email on Sun, Nov 13, 2016 at 11:39 A.M. After sending numerous complaint emails (of which I kept) to find out what was going on with my order, I finally received in today's mail (Jan. 18, 2017), a pair of binoculars from China with the following description on the side of the box which read, "Magnification of: '.10'.12' zoom, Objective lens diameter: 25mm, Coating type: Multi-coated, Size class: Compact, Close focus: 3.0m and Field of view: Wide angle 65 deg." This is not what I ordered and paid for! Now I just found out that this entity, Hobbies Discount has been running a scam.during the pre-Christmas time frame. At no time did I come across any postings on Face Book informing me of this scam. As of this evening, I sent another email to Chris of Hobbies Discount informing him of this lesser product and sternly telling him that either he needs to send what I had originally ordered or reimburse me with a cashiers' check for $59.50. It was only after the fact that I found out on the Hobbies Discount that a reimbursement is only given the same way that the item was originally paid for. In my case that would be a VISA credit card. They also have the nerve to say that 20% would be assessed to the paid amount, as a restocking fee. What a joke!
