steveg Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Wow. Not good, on the part of Cabelas, to show them "ready to go" when they are not... I'm sure it was just a mistake, but... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveg Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Cabelas actually shows the 800, too, FWIW...

Steve Herschbach Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Interest is extreme, somebody no doubt said “get them in the website” and it went from there. Just typical company confusion on details. I keep saying to ignore all product status reports from anyone but Minelab. Still true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, though Cabelas was willing to go “on the record” with a 29 January backorder date do I reckon that came directly from Minelab and is not inconsistent with ML’s public announcement or the info that was passed to dealers yesterday. I’m personally resigned to the indisputable fact that it will get here when it gets here. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Apparently this caused enough problems for Cabela’s that they have pulled the ability to order online for now. Or they already sold everything they had coming on the initial order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Or ML pushed back the ship date even further and Cabelas couldn’t take the grief from their customers. Interesting though that you can still supposedly order by phone.

Steve Herschbach Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Guys, honestly, as a webmaster this is simple. Cabelas online store is designed to either sell product on hand, or show items as being on backorder status. It is not designed to presell unavailable items. Somebody listed the items as being in stock, creating a problem. So they pulled it off for now to avoid creating a can of worms with people expecting quick delivery. You guys do know I have inside information on availability, right? Or am I just wasting my time repeating over and over that the ONLY information that you should pay attention to regarding availability is that issued directly by Minelab? I can assure you I want these things to ship as much or more than anyone, and would not let such an event pass without comment. Until then..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
