Lost in the mail, stolen, undeliverable etc etc. This is a way for the OFSC to say you opted out of tracking . You can't use the excuse you didn't know you could track permits... If you still need to file a Police Report and pay the replacement fee, then what do you really get for your $10 besides knowing that you really didn’t receive it? Personally, I don’t think it should default to $10 tracking. Preferably to be able to pick one or the other, side by side. Buyer chooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is call credit card company and tell them you never received the permits. They will do a quick investigation and if OFSC can't prove they were delivered a full refund is granted. Have to do it before you pay the statement though, 30 day limit from statement date to appeal purchases. This is why I think they want the tracking to prove the permits were received and then people can't appeal to get free permits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't referring to the $10 tracking fee Paul. I was referring to the processing $7.50 processing fee for the basic processing of the permit order. Last year the $7.50 processing fee was not charged to the permit buyer after the early purchase discount window elapsed. Either the OFSC absorbed the $7.50 processing fee on the higher priced permits OR based on volume numbers the 3rd party that received and processed the order waived the $7.50 processing fee on the anticipated much lower volume of permit sales expecting to make their revenue exclusively on the early season discounted permits. What I was told was the latter. The 3rd party WAS only charging the fee on the discounted permits last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also so checked with OFSC as to the requirements of the purchaser when a “tracked” permit sale is not received. They have confirmed there is no police report required and there would be no replacement fee either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for clarifying the no-fee & no Police Report replacement procedure. Should be that way on regular permits too. When you charge to a credit card and don't receive your merchandise, the credit card-company will do a quick investigation and credit you back without any hassle. If you order two permits can you just pay one tracking fee and two processing fee's or do order's need to be tracked individually if shipped to the same address?

Fuse6 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Have a new sled coming, isn't at the dealer's yet. If it's not here by Nov. 1 what can I do with out a VIN # for the early order permit?

If not I think you can enter pending and the put it in after you get it. As for the ofsc phone service it's horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Pete Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just for the record, Yes you can put "Pending" in the VIN and Licence fields in your profile and the system will process your order. This is illegal however as the permit has to be registered to a specific sled. Yes you can use your old VIN/Licence number to purchase this years permit. Could be illegal as you might not be the current registered owner if you have sold or traded the sled. Only the registered owner can complete the application form and accept the terms and conditions and Limitation of Liability. No you can not go back into your profile and add/amend the VIN/Licence to an existing sled in your profile. You have to add a new sled but then the permit stays attached to the existing sled in the profile. OFSC will not change it. Your District/Club can not change it. If OFSC changes it, they are condoning an illegal practice. If you use your old VIN/Licence number to purchase a permit, you must then go through the Transfer/Replacement process by completing the required form and paying the fee ($15.00) To the best of my knowledge the permit system is an OFSC system not an MTO system. So unless OFSC has provided OPP with access to our system there is no practical way to check a permit on-trail. So in reality there is very little risk or consequence to doing 1 or 2 above.To me the biggest risk is if something should happen, like being involved in a serious accident. Police will check the permit and I have no idea what happens if the investigation shows the permit is not properly assigned to the sled. Would it nbe similar to driving your car with someone else's plate on it? I am sure some litigation lawyer would have a field day with that and what would your insurance say about an improperly permitted sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
