I pre-ordered mine on October 2nd and am still waiting. My dealer was told he would get 6 machines but so far but he only got 1 since I was number 2 on list I didn't get one yet but am on top of the list now. He told me that his distributor is expecting a shipment in this week so I have my fingers crossed but won't get excited until I have a tracking number.
Sure is frustrating that some other dealers have gotten multiple shipments in, enough to take care of all of their pre-orders and have some left over to sell in the classifieds while other dealers have only gotten one or even no machines in yet. If a dealer is listed as an "authorized Garrett dealer" seems like you as a customer should be able to have confidence that the dealer is going to get equal treatment with other Garrett dealers.

Ordered mine mid October and Kellyco tells me I'm 5TH on the waiting list. There is an inch of snow on the ground here, but there are a few areas that I still can hunt. My thanks to all of you who have received their AT's and have followed up with reports. I look forward to reading those each day.

Some distributors only got one machine for each of their dealers who all had multiple pre-orders to fill. A lot of folks are going to be waiting a good spell for their AT's.

Traded KY Digger for mine and got it last week. I guess right place at right time.

Someone else on the thread below stated that there are dealers with one or two not spoken for. A lot of people will pre-order one, only to cancel the order when it arrives.
Good luck! there's a lot of dealers in North America.

My dealer supports local hunts that I attended by donating equipment for prizes, or selling the hunt prize machines at cost. He supports our local forum too. Plus I told him I would buy a machine from him and I keep my word not breaking it just to get a machine a week or two earlier. I have Fisher F75 and a White's DFX to choose from while I wait so I can hunt all I want. I pre-ordered from him and will wait for the order to come in - its not his fault that Garrett can't figure out how to distribute machines in a professional, even manner to their dealer network so he shouldn't be the one who gets left holding the bag for Garrett's lack of organization.
It's simple math. Distribute evenly. Why make a few companies look good and leave the smaller companies look like idiots. If you were to give the biggest kids at a birthday party most of the cake leaving just a little for some then leaving out the others entirely - there would be a fight! You should have made a bigger cake! Oh, and cut it into even pieces.
