Problems

I placed an order for an AquaC Remora Pro with Mag 3 pump from the Marine Depot site. I added it to my cart and entered my credit card information. Everytihng was fine and dandy until I got an email the next day saying my dredit card was declined. I called the 1-800 number and spoke with a geltleman who didn't really seem like he was excited to help me. I went through my order and credit card information two more times to ensure that it was entered correct. I asked him to double check the billing address to make sure that everything was spelled correctly and it was. The card came up declined again. There was no reason for it to be as it had a $0 balance at that point. The geltleman had no other alternative to it and didn't seem willing to help me any further. I immediately went to www.captivereefs.com and ordered the same skimmer and pump with the exact same credit card and it got here 5 days later. I wrote an email to the guys at MD and told them that they should loiok into their CC processing and what I had to do. I never heard anything back from them. I hope that they give better service to their repeat customers than they do potential first time customers.
 
I'm having the exact same problem with Marine Depot right now. It's frustrating, an order just vanishes and when I ask what happened they tell me my card was declined and I need to call my credit card company. When I check with my credit card company they say no charges have been declined and Marine Depot never tried to charge the card. Clearly Marine Depot has a problem here.
 
And they clearly don't care because they have answered numerous other messages but have ignored this one. Give a look at www.captivereefs.com and talk to Darrin if you need to. He's a great guy and has bent over backwards to make me happy when I have ordered from him in the past.
 
Well, I'll give them a chance to set it right, but if Marine Depot isn't able to reliably process credit cards I guess I'll have no choice but to go elsewhere.
 
WOW, I just happen to stumble upon this thread. But that was my situation also. They said my CC was declined too. That's what started everything. And now I'm still waiting for my refund of 25 dollars for the next day shipping I was promised. I know that's not a lot, but hey they stated they would refund it. And it's been a few weeks now.
