    For the record, Universal Mania was here since 2011 and always received extremely positive feedback and I can't recall anything negative.....until around June of this year when things changed dramatically.
    There have been serious problems since then where many had problems receiving shipments, many couldn't get answers to their phone calls or emails, many couldn't get in touch with them to get refunds processed and many had to deal with their credit card companies to get their money refunded.
    You can Google websites where there are many negative reviews. Prior to around May the reviews were extremely positive (as they had always been here), but there are very few since then.

    May of 2017 was when the president of UM was sentenced to 6yrs prison. Apparently he was selling counterfeit items to include Garmin.

    This has been posted here before and from what I've been told, the counterfeit products were mainly beauty products that weren't on the website that we linked to here and didn't include Garmin.

    Certainly not to argue Al, but, the Eastern District of North Carolina US Attorney's Office lists Garmin as a counterfeit item. Not to say it was locators, just Garmin products. Got that off a press release.

    I know that they listed Garmin but James Metz (Sales Manager) had told me months ago that was an error......for what it's worth.
