How many are still waiting for their AT PRO and how long have you waited??

and its heard above alot of other voices. I realize I could order from a PREFERRED dealer and have one on the way, but I formed a contract with my dealer when I placed my order and don't see why he should lose a sale to someone else because of something out of his control.

OK.....I've vented....I'm done....Thanks for putting up with me.
 
Maybe some dealers prepaid Garrett or their distributors instead of putting it on an account and got preferential treatment. Money Talks!!!
Just a thought.
 
You have to look at how business works. If 10 dealers account for 80% of sales and 90 dealers for the balance, where is the majority of the shipment going to go? These numbers are just arbitrary for an example, but they have to follow the major sales, just like any business.

I feel the same way. As much as I would like to play around with one, it is going to be months before I can actually hunt so it does not matter in the long run.

Ordered mine from Kellyco Nov 5th.....no sign of progress yet!:shrug:
 
It took eight days from NJ to Va. but it arrived today. Some priority. :rofl:
 
I ordered mine yesterday from a dealer in Texas and it is due to arrive tomorrow morning here in Tennessee. The dealer I bought mine from said he has sold a bunch of them. I purchased his next to the last one. I'm glad I didn't preorder one.
 
I ordered mine last of September, received it a couple weeks ago. But the unit wouldn't work in pro mode. Sent back to Garrett, received replacement Saturday, checked it out today and it is defective also. Wouldn't detect a quarter on top of ground and the pinpoint mode only ramped up to full volume every time it was used. Got it home an it worked again. Guess it is going back too. I won't have a machine that workes on my table and won't function in the field.
 
You should be getting yours really soon Steve. I am sorry to hear that lots of you have been waiting. I am fortunate because my distributor lives near the factory. He has emailed us and kept us updated on his shipments. I received an email that stated on his first shipment he was only able to pick up a few detectors so he was going to ship only one out to a few of his dealers that pre-ordered first. The very next day he was able to go by the factory again and pick up more. It only takes one day for me to receive his shipments. All of my pre-orders were from September through the beginning of October. I pre-ordered a few more which he couldn't guarantee that I would get in the first shipment so I didn't pre-sell them. From his second shipment which was my first I received all of my early pre-orders and a couple of my later pre-orders. That is why I had a couple of extra to sell back then. My distributor went and picked up his next batch last Thursday and I received the last detector of my pre-orders Friday and put it on the classifieds. For you that have distributors half way across the country from Texas have to realize that if Garrett ships with UPS Ground it takes a week to reach reach your dealer's distributor. Then if your dealer's distributor has to ship it to your dealer that could take another few days. The second real shipments that went out last Thursday probably hasn't even reached your distributors yet let alone your dealer. Some of you that have ordered from the big dealers may have to wait longer for your detectors because their pre-orders were so large Garrett could only fill them in separate shipments. Those are my theories anyway. I do believe my distributor was caught up on his back orders when he went by the factory yesterday to pick up another batch because I actually got to order one extra AT PRO from him which I am getting today and will post on the classifieds. Garrett is catching up on them. Good luck and I hope that everybody gets theirs soon.
