AkNugget Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 For Alaska Cabela's customers, got this today. Looks like they're blaming Minelab. We apologize for not being able to get this item to you in AK. Unfortunately this does ship directly from the manufacturer and they choose not to ship it out of the lower 48 states. Sorry for any disappointment this may cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm S Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Morris I had cancer 8 yrs ago and luckily I survived my surgery and after surgery i had radiation and that almost killed me. It took me a year to get over it and I am still suffering side effects but I am alive and kicking and I go metal detecting daily 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigsAlot Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Bummer. Do you have family in the lower 48? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkNugget Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'll wait and buy from a local dealer when they get stock, still a little early here in AK anyway. Was hoping for the Cabela's bucks to help fund my gun addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SittingElf Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I could have had my 800 long before this, if I had been willing to buy from Cabella's. I won't because they refuse to honor Minelab's Awesome Military Discount. They apparently think it's too much of a pain to deal with the paperwork. I think many of us may have been through too much of our own pain on their behalf in the military to give my business to a company that thinks that way about the military and vets! Too much of a hassle??? Pffft! I'll continue to wait for my dealer, who is a strong supporter of the military and vets! Just saying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm S Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It cost your small dealer $67 to give you that discount. Between Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops there are 41,000 employees. They are pretty much big box sporting goods dealers. Neither Bass Pro or Cabela's offer online military discounts but they do offer 5% discounts most of the year for in store purchases. My question to anyone is why does anyone deserve a discount for anything. I am retired and prior military but have never used that as an excuse not to buy from anyone. If I want it now I buy it. I can give you more than one instance of small dealers not being loyal to former customers since the Equinox came out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My position is that Minelab has been extraordinarily supportive by offering the 15% discount through their dealer network. The fact that Cabella's refuses to honor that discount is telling. They don't even take inventory. All their orders are drop shipped. No skin off their backs, but the people Minelab is honoring have plenty of skin off theirs. " nuff said.

Jackpine Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 How many small dealers are actually asking full MAP price on the Nox? I have never paid MAP for a new machine and even though I don't have mine yet I am getting close and the price was considerably below MAP but not 15%.
