I had a conversation with someone who bought one in the first batch. He said it was a couple days before he got a tracking number although he felt it shipped the day he ordered it. He received it in 6 business days by UPS.

 

 

 

Thanks for the info!

Also note each mode must be ground balanced separately and modes will not always display the same ground balance number when set in the very same spot. Beach modes in particular produce radically different GB numbers than the other modes.

 

 

Hey Steve I keep seeing you repeat that you have to ground balance each mode if that's true then having a personalized mode set up can you just switch over and use it quickly, or do you have to ground balance it first?

So I guess what I'm saying is if you have a deep coin and you want to check it with your other program in order to get the depth you need, would you have to reground balance?

I was wondering that too.  I'm in Michigan so if it does ship from Naperville should have it today or tomorrow unless things are different from the first batch of Cabela's shipments.  I'll give a shout when it shows up

Well Goldenone posted the same time I did so who knows when they will ship from Naperville.

I'm going to go out on a limb here I believe they will ship them out and we'll get them in that time frame for the seven days from when we ordered the shipping is marked standard Express companies make deals with carriers and they get inexpensive shipping at a quicker pace....

Thanks for checking that out! she still doesn't mention anything about a tracking number though!   

I wish that detecting industry could afford lobbying the government mint to get rid of the zinc penny!

The worst thing since aluminum!

I was surprised they lasted as long as they did!

Not sure how much time I'll have to play around with it for a while BUT the nice thing is Cabela's has a 90 day return policy (even includes a postpaid return shipping label) so you get 90 days to bond with it.    AFAIK that's something no dealer on the planet offers.

 

 

That just gave me a great idea!

Thanks!

I was going to say something about that ring in the photo too I'd say it's probably 9k 

Very nice Report with a video to boot!

Awesome to see how that thing works at that trashy beach

3 left as of 4:30 est.

I talked to this guy a week ago I believe he's out of Chicago and he's a dealer

I think that's what we all have!

No backorder list this is exactly the same as Cabelas did last time when they ran out it was off the website and everybody that ordered started receiving them shortly after

If you're looking for a 600 here they are!

He has four but they'll go fast

Just search Minelab Equinox and they'll pop up SOLD OUT

I received my Equinox 600 on the 6th business day from Cabelas. Their website never gave me a tracking # after it shipped. I did use the chat box to obtain the tracking # but it was not available until after a couple days in shipped status. Drop shipped from Minelab Americas, Naperville, IL. UPS ground. I'll never pre-pay/pre-order a detector again. A lot of misinformation from the dealer IME. Will not get into specifics here. Not sure if it was coming from Minelab or if the dealer was just stringing me along...with my $ in his pocket.

I was just searching around Cabela's website and this is what I found, I'm not for sure now if they'll send us the tracking number or if we'll have to go to their website to find it after they post it.... although they already say shipped

Veterans should buy from Minelab then.  Veterans aren't entitled to discounts just by being Veterans

If you ask me they should!

Steve, where would we be without your input? Everyone should  take these videos with a grain of salt knowing that nobody really knows this machine right now!

Thanks for all your input!

Jason

Mine is marked as shipped also but no tracking number, I think that will come sometime today!

You could be right

Just now, JoeRivers said:

I think they just had a bunch of canceled orders and are trying to keep ppl from canceling 

Honestly I think Minelab has shipped a bunch in this time!

This is what it says on the Cabelas website now:

Item: IK-648489

Note: This item is not available on our On-Line Store at this time. To purchase this product please contact Customer Service at 1-800-753-3218.

I guess that means they sold out of their allotment

Has anyone gotten a shipping confirmation from Cabela’s yet

Not yet but I think it'll take a day because Minelab just got in a shipment and they're probably busy they have to drop ship for Cabelas I'm thinking maybe tomorrow

Steve another possible problem! If you want to skip to the guy describing the problem go to the 6 Minute mark...

What I’m saying is Cabela is not going to have the knowledge to help you.

I Chuck will help you in anyway I can come hell or high water.

That’s as soon as I get my Equinox. Right now I’m like all the rest waiting in the wing.

Chuck

Thanks Chuck!

Hey guys I agree 100% with every one of you on dealers! you go read my posts on when is the next batch coming in, that's when I actually started posting on here because I was so pissed off! there really is only one entity to blame in this whole matter! but on the other hand I have no loyalty to any dealers because I haven't bought a machine in like 20 years.... and the dealer I used to use is 1400 miles away and he said he might get some by May!

And I think Cabela's will deliver our equinox's just like they did in the last batch....

I'm thinking about taking delivery on the one that I ordered, and putting it on eBay just to see how high it will go!

Can someone tell me how Cabela cup run over with Equinox’s but a true blue dealer can’t get over 4 at a time? 

I hope you buying from Cabela can get help here because you sure in the hell not going to get it from them.

Chuck

 hey Chuck you're not saying because we bought from Cabelas you won't help us anymore are you?

I hope Cabela's is true to its word. I have ordered hunting and shooting supplies from them before, and received an email a week later that they were sorry; they were out of stock and my order had been cancelled.

The only difference here they actually remove the Equinox from their website until they had them in stock! The first time they listed them as in stock, if you ordered they'd send you a sorry out of stock and then like a couple days later they went back on the website as in stock and the people that bought them then received them this last week....

I'm just waiting for a tracking number which should be today or tomorrow that is my thought on it!
