13, 2011: It was brought to my attention from a
long-time client that on 9/28/2011 UltimatePassage.com received the following
Nasty Review from "Andrei via TRUSTPILOT" --I don't even know who
TRUSTPILOT is except they seem to be based out of the United Kingdom and
wanted me to Subscribe/PAY $500-USD to dispute the following:
"Site is very unprofessional.
Don't even waste your time with them.
I placed a large order
with them, 3 days later still have no email confirmation of any type. So,
when i called them they said to me that my transaction was canceled due
to probable fraud alert.
Nobody even bothered
to call me first to verify it.
If i didn't called them
myself i would have been waiting and waiting....
Very bad service, put
your money some place else!!!!"
By andrei - Sep 28, 2011 - TRUSTPILOT
What I hope you'll understand:
#1) I
have been in business since 1995 (15+ Years!) and my reputation is Second
to NONE! In fact, I'm on friendly terms/first name basis with most
of my major competitors! In this day and age, I have The Right to
Protect Myself and the welfare of My Business and decide who I sell to.
If it doesn't work for the .0001 percent of you, I'm genuinely sorry.
#2) I
do Not subscribe to these 'rating agencies' because it's an infrigement
of YOUR Privacy! Once these 'scripts' are on my site, they know YOU,
they know what you buy, they know how much you spent, and they also have
All of your personal data!! Yahoo, PayPal, and Google Check-out,
ALL collect your data and then sell it --Although 'spam' is so prevalent
these days, people who use these 'secure' services see an influx of spam
within days.
#3)
I am plagued with ID Theft Orders Every Single Day and Me, THE MERCHANT,
suffers by being Out the money, Out the cost of the product shipped, plus,
a Charge-back/'investigation fee' by Visa/MC/Discover if I process and ship a fraudulent
order! ...What's worse, the credit card companies don't give a Sh*t
because it's no water off their back. ...I gave up trying to contact
them because they simply don't care --It's a 'Profit Center' for them!
I'm now doing my best to hunt down the 'real owner of the card' and let
them know fraudulent orders are being made on their credit card account.
I swear on my Mother's ashes, two of ten people have called me back in
the last 20 days to THANK ME!! --One person had over $20K charged
to their business account in five (5) days and shipped to several addresses
across the U.S.
"Andrei" provided: #1) a Russian
email address, and #2) a Billing Address far different than the Ship-To
Address. --I'm sorry, but this type of order automatically gets "Flagged"
as possible ID Theft!
Unfortunately, we only had ONE (1) In Stock
and it was sold to a customer with "NO Flags". I'm sorry if this
didn't sit well with "Andrei", but that's the way 'I have to roll' to insure
the safefy and integrity of My Business and My Customers!
What you buy from me/Ultimate Passage
is ONLY between You and Me and is no one else's business!
Many Blessings,
Lisa Collins

Dear Lisa,
The Prosine 2.0 was delivered yesterday, thank you
much! You may remember I had some question whether it had the GFCI receptacle
option; it did, so I am entirely satisfied.
I noticed before I ordered that there was one negative
customer review posted in the Google Shopping results (I guess it's called).
I thought there might be another side to it, and thanks to your web site
providing a telephone number, it was easy for me to call you to get my
own impression, which was favorable (and all the more so now).
I can't figure out how to post my own positive feedback
for your business. Do you happen to know how one can do that?
Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to any
further dealings with you and Ultimate Passage,
Pete |

Good evening Lisa, I was on Ultimate Passage
last night looking for a trailer winch to replace one that failed. I saw
that you were even less expensive than eBay. I came across your post about
the nasty review from a so-called "trustpilot" customer who placed a large
order. I think it/he was a fraud. I have placed a couple of large orders
with you and have always received excellent customer service. Ultimate
passage is by far my favorite site to browse for marine products. I have
spent several hours (even at work and almost getting in trouble) building
a shopping list for the winter boat projects. I'm surprised you don't have
a Facebook page to build a large fan base. Anyhow I am close to turning
my shopping list into an order so be ready.
Best regards

--Absolutely you can add my post to your
board, you can use my full name if you want. I need to pull my boat out
and verify some stuff so I can order the right parts. Been so busy lately
I keep having to put it off. Talk to you soon. |

lisa weve been competitors for at least
8 years and i know you to be as upfront and honest as my own company.
for obvious reasons i prefer to remain annoymous.
as you say theres always going to be a
small percentage who you cant please so [I, Lisa/from Ultimate
Passage, have Deleted the end of this sentence!] .
just keep doing what your doing.
id rather compete with ultimatepassage than some of these fly by night
places that you cant even call to verifiy a price or shippiing charges.
luv ya babe

Hi Lisa and Bruce,
I hope you recieved my order from last night.
I've been buying from you guys since you were only selling Raymarine
and Furuno and you would order items for me that weren't on your site!.
Wow, have times changed!
I have to laugh about this "Nasty Post" it's just not the way things
are with you guys.
I don't know what I need to say to give Ultimate Passage a 10+ but
thats what I'd rank You!
Keep up the great work!

| Lisa,
Do you remember the old Roadrunner cartoons
where the coyote would order something from the ACME company and
it would arrive in about ten seconds? Yesterday afternoon, I ordered a
compass from you and it arrived today, the next afternoon! That’s amazing.
I‘ve been looking around at different merchants trying to get the compass
and was afraid I had somehow ordered two because of the speed. Anyway,
thanks for the fast response.

| Lisa,
Just wanted to drop you a line of thanks.
I had a question about one of your products before I placed an order. You
were very helpful and went out of your way to get me the information even
calling me back after you had to research the answer. I placed my order
at 12:49 p.m. and thought that it would ship the next business day. Much
to my surprise and delight it arrive at my door the next day before noon.
I am amazed at your great service and will be one of your best advertisements
ever. Thanks again.

| Lisa,
Thanks for all of your help and quick handling
of my orders.
I have given your website to Grandpappy
Point Marina on Lake Texoma. When I
bought my boat from them, part of the
deal was that I would be allowed to
buy the E80 at their cost. Their
actual cost, and I believe them, is higher
that your selling price. So you
may get some business from them.
Regards,
Curtis |

| Lisa,
The first box was here as promised, and
the second arrived right on time. All items ordered were received!!
THANK YOU!!! We really do appreciate
the timely and accurate service!!
Rest assured I will not hesitate to refer
my friends to you that are purchasing electronics....or anything you have
in your e-catalog!
Now I just have to get them all installed......
Again, Thanks!!

| Thanks for the timely
processing and shipping of my VHF radio. Your web site is excellent.
Very easy to navigate and not all cluttered and crazy like most of the
other marine sites. I suspect your business will continue to improve,
as it seems you are seriously better than most of your competition. Again,
thanks.

Subject: [DeFeverCruisersForum] Electronics
I just want to mention that I have received outstanding service from
a company named Ultimate Passage www.ultimatepassage.com the owners name
is Lisa. I was shopping for new electronics for my DF 44 and just happened
to locate this company. The company handles most all electronics. I shopped
my local marine electronic stores, online and West Marine. No one could
beat their pricing and $8.00 shipping. I decided on Raymarine and made
my purchase. I accidentally ordered the wrong type chart and only after
opening the case found the error. I notified Lisa and she immediately sent
me the correct one and apologized for not catching my error. I was not
charged for the wrong chart and was able to return it. If this was West
Marine it would have been " You opened it you bought it"
I have just installed my electronics system package of an E120 &
E80 with all the multi function equipment and 2 radios. We found a problem
in the E120 not wanting to be the repeater or slave unit and would shut
down. I had a authorized Raymarine installer inspect the unit and installation
and recommend that I see if my selling dealer would switch out the unit.
I contacted Lisa and after explaining the situation and even though it
has now been over 30 days since purchase she is air freighting me a new
E120 unit and will let me return my old unit.
Fantastic customer service by Ultimate Passage and Lisa. You don't find
this much anymore and especially purchasing something online. Should you
speak with her please tell her you heard from Mike Brewer in Calif. that
she is wonderful. Check with her during your next purchase you won't regret
it. |

| Lisa,
Our twelve year old inverter stopped working
and started smoking on a Friday afternoon.
I had to wait until Monday morning to place
the order for a new inverter.
The Inverter was $300.00 cheaper at your
website compared everywhere else. In addition to the personal, courteous
and efficient service you provided, you offered three day shipping
for Twenty three dollars.
I was very surprised when the inverter
arrived the next day.
It works wonderfully. Why would anyone
shop anywhere else?
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Hi Lisa,
These are 29# and 34# Chinook salmon that
we caught on Saturday twenty two miles offshore out of Westport.
There were six other salmon all around twenty pounds each. Thankfully
I had the GPS and Navionics to get back because that far out you can barely
see any land.

| Dear Lisa,
I'm finally getting around to sending you
some pictures of the boat (a Selene 36) and of the instruments I bought
from you that were installed at the main helm. I think they turned
out great! (2nd set installed at the flybridge helm but no picture
of that).
I'm very happy with all the instruments
I purchased from your company. Your price and service were First
Rate, and I'll certainly recommend Ultimate Passage to all my boating friends.
