Deluxe CO2 regulator

I just wanted to voice my dissatisfaction with my recent order. Among other things I ordered a "Deluxe CO2 Regulator". On the website this is shown as an M3 regulator and is described to be "chrome plated", etc.

Upon receipt of my order I was a little disappointed at seeing a somewhat generic looking CO2 regulator that was not an M3 and not chrome plated. In fact it looks to me to be a generic CO2 regulator for which I paid a premium price for and for which I have no idea as to the brand/quality. It is not the one I researched and decided to buy.

Upon contacting Marine Depot they told my the M3 regulators are backordered (for a month or so). They apparently just decided to ship this thing out instead (without telling me).

I find this practice totally not acceptable (and probably illegal as well). They have delayed me from getting my calcium reactor setup by at least a week. Luckily MD has agreed to refund my money and pay for shipping back to them (still waiting on the UPS call tag BTW...).

Let this be a warning to any others who are considering buying an M3 regulator from them...you might want to call first and ask about what you will really get.
 
Hi JavaJaws,

Thanks for your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. The regulator that was shipped to you was actually one sold by Precision Marine. It actually costs more than the M3 regulator; however, we were able offer it for the same price to our customers. Functionality wise, it is as good as the M3 regulator. If we had any reservation at all about the quality of these regulators, I can reassure you that we would not have shipped it out to you.

I will request for our webmaster to change the picture on our website ASAP.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Sincerely,
Joseph
