    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Thanks for the judgement. I didn't choose to not go in 2021. I am unable to go when they offered. That's not a choice, it's impossible. They have other dates open but they won't communicate with me about them. They will not communicate to change the dates, to sell the hunt to get my "deposit"...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Thanks. And they weren't strangers - I know one very well as an employee of mine and he has hunted the world with half the others. Taxes... I can def. 1099 the transporter and I may! I know Alaska Admin Cod 75.450 mentions there has to be a contract. There wasn't. Surprising them face to...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Thanks. That's good to know. Unfortunately I wasn't given the option to do it prior to the initial 2020 hunt and I haven't been given the option to do so with the 2021 hunt because they won't communicate with me. If I ever get in that situation in the future I will absolutely keep this in...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    And just to confirm as there was some confusion and some speculation but the vendor in question is NOT a sponsor of this website. Again, I am not out to cause the vendor harm in any way which is why I have not named them unless you are genuinely interested in purchasing the hunt. And at least...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Not their issue. They went to enjoy their hunt and I had good faith that the vendor was going to act in good faith. I still haven't told anyone in that group what happened. They did have a fun hunt and one brown bear encounter. I am not asking them, or anyone on this discussion to take it up...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I'd do the 50% - if they called me back. If they don't and just continue to ignore me what recourse would a guy have? If they were an outfitter the council of guides and outfitters would be the place to start. If they were an outfitter there would be contracts in place too. There's laws and...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I have had that thought - but you can see when someone reads a FB message. Maybe still they don't want to reply because of vacation. It's only been 5 weeks. It's winter in AK. I should be more patient.

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Yes - the other members of the group went and they still sold more spots for 2020. They don't have a refund policy. Not on their website and not in their communications with me. They are not an outfitter and they don't have a contract. They TOLD me not SOLD me dates. I did not and do not...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    If I could get them to call (or text or email or fb message) me back I would discuss it with them. I will try calling from a different number with a different area code next week.

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Thanks Nick. It may come to that. I do know for a fact that I have been polite, respectful, reasonable and honest in this situation. I can provide screen shots of emails and texts and the one facebook message. I know it's painful for a customer service based company to face refunding a...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I will PM you here - I am not wanting to drag the name of the vendor through the mud. I do believe that the vendor is a sponsor of this website too.

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Them offering to reschedule me instead of refund me and scheduling to dates that don't work is not a viable solution. You can't sell someone something they don't want, cant' use, don't need so it becomes a conversation - but they won't respond. Regarding "equitable outcome" I paid in full -...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I believe they might be. I will refrain from calling the business out publicly as I am sure they are suffering as a small business and my intention is not to make that worse but just to find out what recourse I have. I know if it was an outfitter there would be a contract and I would have...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    They assigned me dates that I cannot attend. I have asked them to call me to discuss these and they will not.

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I booked it in 2019. Rona wasn't a thing. Rona wasn't the sole reason I canceled and I shouldn't have stated that. I got drawn for elk starting Black Friday and wouldn't be returning from Kodiak until Monday prior to that. Covid was in my mind heavily in March, April and May of 2020 when I...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    Great question - you want it? $2,375 is what I paid for it - make me an offer!

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I personally had covid restrictions but that is neither here nor there so I should not have mentioned it - I cancelled due to getting drawn for elk in Arizona and that hunt starting days after I would have been able to return. There was a group of 7 or 8 including me and I was given a...

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    They do not have a written policy on their website or in any of their emails.

    Obtaining a refund from a "transporter"?

    I edited this for clarification. I am looking for advise or previous experience with a similar issue. In April of 2019 a buddy told me of a great deal at a lodge, to hunt Sitka Blacktail self guided on Kodiak - the vendor is NOT an outfitter. I made a payment in full, via check in May of 2019...
