Is pard-nv.com legit US vendor?

[ctshooter]

Pard008 with LRF seems hard to find in the US. Is https://www.pard-nv.com/ a legit US storefront?

Thanks.

I haven't used them, but I normally look for a few red flags, like ...

Contact info, and it looks legit.

Also, although they don't show PayPal, which is a little concerning, they do show Discover Card and in the past Discover would refund scams.

I do see a PayPal checkout. Looking up their business address in Google came up with another NV seller with an address down the street: https://www.nightvisionguys.com/contact. 

Now here's my concern - a Google map of the address shows a mini mall shopping area popular shopping stores like BBB and UPS store, etc. Unless someone is running this out of the back of their store it appears suspect to me.

I purchased one a few months ago thru that address a few months ago and had no issues with the store.

Good to know - what mount did you end up using? I hear the mounts can be finicky to get working right.

I think you should be able to contact Discover to verify merchant.

Watch out for this vendor. I can tell you first hand. I ordered a PARD NV008 LRF from them back in March. Unit was delivered, but I had a issue with the audio not working, so I attempted to contact them with no results. No answers through their web site when attempting to send a query about the problem. Also, no phone number contact. And as stated above, the address comes back to another night vision site. When I tracked down that company they informed me that they do not sell PARD products. Eventually I was able to get in touch with the PARD factory directly, and they informed me that the seller was not considered a legitimate vender for their product. Through dozens of emails with PARD, they got a hold of the vendor who eventually got a hold of me through pressure from PARD. By now I only wanted my money refunded which was done with the assistance of Mastercard- Pay Pal who tracked down the seller. The actual seller is called OUTDOORSDEVICE GROUP. When this so called vendor did contact me with the help of PARDS direct pressure, their answer to me before the refund went through was "this is very easy fix. We send you part to replace inside unit". Unreal. Thank God I got fully refunded and was able to purchase my PARD from Huma-air with no problems. It took me a couple weeks to get this resolved. PARD was great, as well as Mastercard-Pay Pal. Steer clear of this vendor. Shame on me for ordering from them in the first place, as their site sure does look legit.

Just noticed you are from the same state as me.

Thank you @rut. 

I noticed the lack of a phone number as well. I was going to take a pass on this dealer, but you're experience sealed the deal for me.

I just went through Pard themselves. Easy Peasy. No issues.
