I tried to buy a Holosun greendot a few months back when they started carrying them. Tenda phoned the RCMP to run my PAL and declined my purchase because it was $3 over their "store policy" (insurance on the item was $4.50) for first time buyers. I called and spoke to the sales rep and he informed me that they have dealt with large purchases and fraud in the past so they have a policy for first time buyers. I could not find said policy on their site. I also asked if people who commit fraud phone them to follow up on their order and insure products.
I also let Tenda know I will not be sending them a money transfer (as per their solution) for the Holosun because Visa gives me extra protection.
It is nice to be on a high horse during a pandemic. I will take my business elsewhere.
There is a lot of fraud with optics that goes on. I cant really blame them for trying to protect themselves.
