Norm S Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think Minelab pretty much led everyone to believe that when they said they were starting to ship that there would be a steady flow of detectors and within a cpl of weeks all pre orders would be filled. No one expected 1 or 2 here and there.. Then Cablea's pops up with them for sale online. That got to everyone. Some people had prepaid months in advance and boom Cablea's get some and they didn't. In my eyes anyone that prepaid should got theirs 1st no matter when they ordered.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Who knows how many Cabelas received, but it doesn't sound like it was a lot and they probably don't do pre-orders like the specialty dealers. They received their allotment and listed them for sale on the website. The other dealers has pre-paid orders to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We placed a large order when the product was first announced. So far, I've received one shipment- 2 800s and 1 600. A second shipment is supposedly heading to my distributor shortly, but I anticipate another very small quantity. We ordered enough that our prepay and wait lists will all be filled once our initial order is complete ( now anticipated to be shipped to distributor by end of March). We also have a second large order in the pipeline, but no anticipated delivery date. This gives me hope because I’m number 3 on your list for the 800. I hope it’s in the next day or two I get that email. BTW, welcome to the forum MDS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the sheels I went to does not have much for metal detecting. A few cheap detectors and maybe a carry bag and that is about it. I have not seen a Minelab in the ones I was at.

Metal Detecting Stuff I believe you call home just north of Houston. That’s unless it’s another dealer running around with the same name. Good things come to he who waits.ha Chuck Yes, that's me.

Metal Detecting Stuff Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 By the way, Cabelas cancelled a bunch of orders last week and are now estimating delivery after 3/30 based on screen shots I've seen. I think the pre-order guys are back on track! Wayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
