DestinEngineer Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I preordered and paid for mine mid November. I still haven't heard a word, or received any email. Calling them is fruitless. I leave for the Bahamas in a week. Looks like I won't be detecting there after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try calling around to Minelab dealers in your state, especially those that do not have an internet presence. Look for Minelab dealers that are not specialized metal detector dealers. I was able to find an 800 in stock at a Rock and Gem Shop. I ordered on Thurs and it is due to arrive tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you will be able to have a detector for the trip. PM me and I can give you a tip on how to get a decent price on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig It Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't know what's worse, ordering one and not getting it yet, or ordering one 2/15/18 and receiving mine on 3/5/18 and I keep waking up to fresh snow and ice all around me. You can still have a wonderful trip to the Bahamas !!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered mine from Kellyco on Oct 10th. Received an email with tracking info about a week ago and received it a couple days ago. No signature... go figure. FedEx just sat it on the porch and walked away. Didn't beg for the case... simply asked for the minelab case and they included it for free. I have no use for most of the "stuff" they include to entice newbies, but the padded case is something that I will actually use. Charged everything up and paired the headphones. Think I'll have to get some bluetooth earbuds. (The detector itself charge light never stopped blinking and I finally disconnected it anyway after 4-5 hrs. Full charge on the bar indicator. Not sure if this is an issue or should have left connected longer). Looking forward to getting some testing in this weekend and comparing it to my CTX.

Just as I suspected. Your order is just one of many that has proven my fears weren’t unfounded. KellyCo is incompetent at best, they still are holding on to their pipedream that “All orders are being filled in order received.” I prepaid and preordered September 20th, still haven’t heard a word. Enjoy your machine, hope you find lots of good stuff with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Mike Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Well my Nox 800 finally came today. I started out ordering at Kco and cancelled that order. Then I ordered at Cabelas and when that was backordered I cancelled that. I finally called around 20 small dealers in my area and surrounding states. It was time well spent as I found 2 dealers with no waiting lists. I ended up ordering from David at Dixie Metal Detectors. I cant say enough good things about him. We chatted for a couple hours over the last week. I'm glad I could buy from a small business and he will now be my dealer going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKman Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Enjoy Mike! Anyone out there that may still be waiting for their Cabela's orders... I found out on Thursday night from Rachel that Minelab did unexpectedly get a small order in and my order (which was submitted very early on 2/20) was shipping in the next one or two business days. I checked my UPS account and found that I have an inbound package from Minelab scheduled for delivery next week. The thing is unless you check your incoming UPS deliveries you wouldn't realize it was on the way... I can't wait to join in the fun using the Equinox.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
