kellyco backorders

[Chasintail]

hello all, its been a LONG time since I've posted on here though I've been on numerous times reading. Since I've started here I've moved from my Garrett Ace 250 through a Whites XLT and now run both a Whites V3i and TDI.

I had ordered an 12x10 SEF coil and cover for my V3i from Kellyco a week ago. After about 4 days I finally got order confirmation. While on the phone chasing down the order I was told that the coils were on back order and should be in after a week to week and a half. Since then I have done some research and read horror stories of items being on back order from Kellyco for months on end. I had ordered the coil in anticipation of being able to use it at a paid organized hunt in VA at the end of this month and will be sorely disappointed if it has not arrived by then.

Does anyone out there in cyber land know if their time estimates for backorders are realistic or not? Maybe Dan aka metdetdevl can chime in here

I should state that I am in no way dissatisfied with Kellyco and have heard GREAT things about them, nor am I being impatient as I have no problem waiting the week or two that I was advised the order would take. Sadly though I have ordered the coil to try using in the bad VA ground if I do not have it by then, I'll probably just cancel my order.

Thanks!
Derek
