    Tackle Warehouse and Minn Kota Ultrex Update

    I just reviewed my backorder at Tackle Warehouse for my Minn Kota Ultrex and they have updated my order to ship 3/11/17. I placed my order back at the end of November. Hopefully it will ship sooner but I am just excited to finally see a date. Two weeks ago I sent an email to Minn Kota customer service asking for any information on filling backorders. They responded right away and advised me that while they couldn't verify when Tackle Warehouse placed their order, they were fulfilling all orders in 1 to 2 months. They bound to be setting record sales numbers with this kind consumer response.

    They told me 1/30 "unconfirmed" when I ordered mine. At the time I thought that would probably be more like middle of February and that would be okay. Middle of March I was hoping to be fishing pretty hard by then and not wanting to take a weekend to install a TM....plus got my son's wedding coming up on 4/1. I tried to talk them into getting married during post-spawn but she wouldn't hear of it.

    Oh ok.
    I believe Minn Kota is focusing more on getting the Link models shipped out first.

    Mine says 3/11 too. Ordered on Black Friday. Bummed that when I ordered it the est date was 12/23. I may have passed if I knew it was going to be march but whatever... $500 is $500! I emailed not too long ago and their reply almost sounded like they wished I would cancel the order so I didn't.

    Its because they are losing money on the deal.

    I think all you guys should cancel the TW order and re-order through John...then I can move my spot up a few places.

    I just checked my order status and TW has changed my expected delivery date from March 11 to March 25. This sure is strange since Minn Kota customer service informed me they were shipping backorders 1 - 2 months out. My order at TW was at the end of November. Something is not jiving. They also show that date on new orders for the 36V units w/o the link.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are pushing the dates back hoping a lot of customers cancel or until they can negotiate new pricing with Minn Kota. At the price they sold them for during the black Friday sale they are losing quite a bit of money.

    When did you place your order? I just checked my order status and they still show 3/11 for me. If they move me to 3/25, I think I'll ask for my money back. I felt bad about not buying from John in the first place.

    I believe the Black Friday price was 20% off. I didn't react fast enough for that. I bought mine with a gift card that I got 10% off on. Saved me $260 plus the freight others charge. When I placed the order, the guy told me 1/30 "but that's un-confirmed", he said. At that time I was thinking sometime in Feb would be okay. I don't usually do much fishing until March anyway. If they push me back to 3/25 that puts me right in the same week as my son's wedding and the rehearsal dinner and all that so I wouldn't have the motor installed until sometime in April which is prime time around here. ARRRRGGGGGG!!!!
