Maksim 1,504 Posted December 24, 2019 There are about 10 others on the forum who already have them and can tell you it is legit. Essentially it comes down to where it is most effective to have them advertise and how. For Amazon sellers, having a good amount of reviews is essential to being shown at the top of the results for search terms, aka "Binoculars." Instead of paying thousands on banner ads and videos, it is more cost effective to get it from the ground up. Over the years I have had many such offers, some good products, a lot of "eh" and some crap. These are actually pretty good and I have them in my range bag, on par with $150 pairs from Nikon, Bushnell, Vortex. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eyeinstine 241 Posted December 24, 2019 Glad i wasnt the only one scratching my head when i read that email! Being somewhat new around here, thats the first time i received something like that. Now reading all the above, i just jumped on the deal! If you have amazon prime, its a No Brainer! Nothing to lose for what looks like a nice binocular for free! Looking forward to that paypal refund.

eyeinstine 241 Posted December 25, 2019 @Maksim I just realized when i ordered, i ordered like usual with my amazon prime, that then takes the money directly from my checking account. So these binocs were not paid for via PayPal. Is that an issue as the email states that the refund is issued through PayPal? SHould i cancel my order; rebuy the binocs, and then look for a paypal option at amazons checkout? Thanks Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Porthole 15 Posted December 27, 2019 Received the binoculars this morning, the Paypal reimbursement yesterday. Thanks for the the offer to try these out at a significantly reduced cost. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grapeshot 301 Posted December 27, 2019 Received the binocs this morning and I am quite surprised at the optical quality at this price point. The phone adapter (which actually works!) is a nice addition. Posted a good review. Will use them turkey hunting this spring. No refund yet but I'm sure I'll see it in a few days.

Maksim 1,504 Posted December 27, 2019 Hey guys. About 25% of the folks got their refund already... those were the folks who ordered early and live in a 1 day (or same day) delivery range... Reason why I said 24 to 48 hours after they ship... your card generally does not get charged by Amazon until they start shipping it. It is only at that point that the seller actually gets paid and can see the total you paid with taxes and all. Until it ships, you can still have it cancelled. Christmas was a holiday. So everyone else should be getting a refund within 24 hours or so. (who has not yet.) I have a spreadsheet and keeping track. Keep in mind, company is in Asia so their hours are different from ours. But so far about 40 people have gotten these and have all gotten their refunds, so nothing to worry about, and you can always send me an email and will track for you. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danno 127 Posted December 27, 2019 Will this only work with a Paypal account? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly can get you an Amazon GC. Btw, for those receiving the binos, wait a few days before leaving the review. =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
