When you originally pre-ordered did their site or documentation during pre-order process say that you would be charged $45 fee for cancelling? If not call your credit card company and complain, you might be able to get that money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a return policy that explains it...But he also has a sponcered link on Google that I plan on clicking daily for a while.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 He couldn't supply the product in a reasonable amount of time, so you were not unreasonable to cancel your order. I would fight it, and I would win, not sure on your counties laws though but he'd have no hope of doing that here and getting away with it. He's the one that chose to take money for a product he couldn't provide. It could be why dealers here have lists, but they don't take money until they have the product to give you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaBayBrad Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 That is really unreasonable. I can see if he ordered a detector for you that he would have a hard time selling to anybody else. That is not the case here, return policy or not. He knows he has had your money for x amount of months and you don't have your merchandise. There should be a certain amount of personal input by the dealer over and above his "policy". Cabela's still has them in stock if you're tired of waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Ask him for compensation for waiting for a product he can't provide when you can right now buy it somewhere else, and could have for some time. 🙂 You've lost detecting time because of this guy, and detecting time with a new detector can't be replaced, you have to hit your spots before someone else does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea...because Manticore goes deeper and you need one before everybody else gets one on your beach! 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I went ahead and got mine from Cabela's (sorry, dealers). Last week I added up all my gold/silver finds since I sarted hitting the beach with it (sometime around Jan 25th) and it's already halfway paid for itself in melt value. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it gets to me by the weekend but regardless... excited it's finally actually on its way! 🙂 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also glad I got mine from Cabela's, I couldn't justify putting down the whole price without a guarantee of receiving it when it was released. I feel like I got to skip to the front of the line by buying from them. But this whole release has given me a good look into the potential future of minelab and I get the feeling that the money counters are running the show over there at minelab. The engineers at minelab have done a great job with the manticore and I know that they're working on a new software update but I hope the money counters don't hold the engineers back from providing additional software updates in the future.

ThatOneDigger Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Seems a new shipment arrived. Hopefully in the next few days or weeks we will all have our pre-orders fulfilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
