I am fearful that I may have made a mistake and would like to ask the advice of members of this forum. I have had good luck in other forums for other hobbies and interests. This post will serve as my first in this group.
I am planning to take a trip to Hawaii this spring and decided to purchase my own equipment. After a bit of research, I decided on Scubapro for the regulators (MK25/X650), octopus (R390) and gauges (MINIVIP2). I ordered two sets (2nd for wife) from LeisurePro of New York.
The equipment arrived today. While unpacking and inspecting the items, I became aware that the serial numbers had either been removed or blacked out on all but one of the boxes.
I then discovered that LeisurePro is not an authorized dealer and their alternate warranty offer etc, etc.
I ask the following questions:
Should I return the items, re-buy local and contest the Visa charge if necessary?
What are my real risks if I keep the equipment?
Thanks!
