+carhawker Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Too bad they don't give shipping charges without having to enter all your personal data first. - RG Edited January 20, 2006 by carhawker
+mlk3454 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Too bad they don't give shipping charges without having to enter all your personal data first. - RG I just hit the apply button and was given the price to the right of the screen.
+Team Duckit Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Phil sent me a email my garmin 60Cx is on its way those guys are the BEST in geting back with you & there pricing is great check them out Duckit
+Bus36 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 New here but wanted to say a few words. I was looking for my first gps and was going to go with the legend cx until I found out that it didn't have the sirfIII. I still can't believe Garmin went this route. Then I talked myself into adding an extra 100 now insted of upgrading later on and get the gpsmap60cx. I hope that it will be worth it. Anyways I was at work and checked out http://www.lakepowellmarineelectronics.com/ and saw the 60cx on sell. By the time I got home it was back up to 450. I contacted Phil as advised on this forum and he got back to me within minutes. He brought the price back down. I placed the order and hope to have it soon. This is some of the best service that I have seen. Can't wait to start caching.

Budbrew Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I purchased my 60CSx from lake powell and let me say their service is next to none! Phil is the man, and should be considered a great asset to the company he works for!
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 My 60csx from www.lakepowellmarineelectronics.com is on the way. Ordered from phil today at about 3:00 and is scheduled delivery is tom. and I didn't even get overnight shipping. Thanks again Phil "your da man"
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 What could it mean?? It could mean the company is setting up usernames just to boost the company! Sorry if I'm a little paranoid, but getting duped on the internet is not exactly unheard of. Besides, have you seen their seller ratings on Yahoo? Read some of the comments, if that doesn't get you thinking twice I don't know what will... Caveat Emptor.
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 well I can tell you for sure I don't work for lake powell . I did speak with phil he took my order sent me a tracking number and is scheduled to be delievered tom. Now the only thing we have to see is to make sure it is a 60csx if it they are great. ,,,,, I will keep you aprised

Aparently many of us have purchased from lakepowelldiscountmarineelectronics.com, and a sense of relaxation would be nice!
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 OK, I ordered a Csx tonight from them. We shall see how well it goes...Be very assured, one way or another you will hear from me on this and every other GPS related newsgroup and site I visit about my experience with them.
ALooneyGuy Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Are you guys who just ordered getting the lower price or the $499 price? If you're getting the lower price, how are you doing so?
Budbrew Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Check the website frequently because it has changed from $412 to $499 like four times today. They will honor the price at which you purchase it at.
+machster Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Ok.. I can tell you that I do not work for them either. I had pre-ordered the csx yesterday and was told by Phil it would be 3-4 weeks. He told me he would give me free overnight for my troubles...He contacted me today and told me his shipment came in today, and he was giving me free overnight regardless. He honored the 412 price. It shipped today, and tomorrow I should have it. I know people who have used them before, and have been estatic. I chatted with him later in the day, and he was overwhelmed by us! I suggested he advertise on the boards here. Hopefully he will, because customer service like this is rare, if not extinct. Give him the benefit until otherwise proven. I'll be enjoying my new toy tomorrow, and will give a full report!
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 ...customer service like this is rare, if not extinct. Give him the benefit until otherwise proven... OK, I could use a little assurance. I spent a lot of money tonight just to prove a point. I hope for all our sakes that they turn out to be alright. Like I said, I can be very vocal about my opinions and if I do get burned, well let's just say I have a LOT of time on my hands...
geocachingbaker Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 as long as you pay witha credit card, we should be ok, as long as your credit card company will protect you
+machster Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I put mine on my Amex card..just to be sure. Did u pay full price Sketch?
geocachingbaker Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) ok just ordered and crossing my fingers that it all goes through ok. Phil responded to me email so fast its scary. Edited January 20, 2006 by justinbaker
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 sketchy I hope that you spoke with phil there and sent him an email confirming price.............otherwise I would have to say it would be your fault if you are charged the 499.99
+Bus36 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Just wanted to say that I do not work for them either. I have been around for a week or so just never posted since I wasn't sure which gps to get. I will be around for now one. Probably asking questions when I get my unit. I will let everyone know how it goes. Later!
+mlk3454 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Their yahoo ratings are just fine. You can't please everyone and things do go wrong from time to time. Look at any other big seller and their ratings. Everyone has pissed people off.
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 my gps is on its way got confirmation it is on the truck right now as we speak waiting for ups man now. will let you know as soon as it gets in my hands
freeday Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 www.lakepowellmarineelectronics.com might be fine BUT they cannot deliver outside US/Canada UPS could do it
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Their yahoo ratings are just fine. You can't please everyone and things do go wrong from time to time. Look at any other big seller and their ratings. Everyone has pissed people off. It's really easy to pad your seller ratings. Sell something to yourself and then refund your money and your left with the ability to say whatever you want. That's why you have to look really hard at the ones that weren't so happy. That's why eBay's and Amazon's system works so well. It's very difficult to corrupt their rating system. Its true that big companies get bad ratings sometimes but they have dedicated costumer service staff with detailed steps on how to get restitution. We don't have anything except an email...You do understand how "sketchy" this can all seem right? I'm really hoping I'm wrong. Like I said there's no turning back I've already plunked down the cheese. But I won't be satisfied until my CSx gets here in factory fresh condition with all the parts accounted for and the unit working the way its supposed to.
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 hey sketchy just wondering if you sleep at night? and if you do is it with one eye open?
+Team Duckit Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Sketchey smurf Is your glass always half empty????
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 The paranoid survive... I've sent TWO emails asking for a tracking number...Nothing from Phil yet...We shall see...
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 I think you have been had Sketch... I think phil took your money and ran....... From what I gather he said he was taking all of us who gave him good feedback on vacation with your money.......... Thanks sketch P.S Now that we have Sketchys money I guess we can all tell him the bad news that we all work for LakePowell ....Thanks again Sketchy (sucker)
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 From what I gather he said he was taking all of us who gave him good feedback on vacation with your money.... Good. Even you deserve to get out of your trailer park every once in a while.
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 I wish I could but I still didn't get my gps from lakepowell so don't know my way out ........
+mr. obnoxious Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 60csx just arrived from lakepowell you can rest at ease now sketch I got mine
moonpup Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 60csx just arrived from lakepowell you can rest at ease now sketch I got mine Super! Now enable WAAS and see if you can confirm that the WAAS bird (if you can get it) will not lock, but give differential data.
Budbrew Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 That's great news!! Keep us all informed on how the unit works!
+DD214 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Yep, Phil is the man. I ordered a 60Cx yesterday afternoon, but I never received a followup email. I sent an email to Phil this morning asking if they were still in stock and when I could expect my order to ship. He responded quickly letting me know that the order shipped yesterday, and upped my shipping to next day free of charge. I entered the tracking number at DHL, and found that the untit was delivered today! I'm at work so I had no idea that it had arrived. Excellent service.
Budbrew Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Can anyone give a report on how their new unit works from lake powell discount marine electronics!
+machster Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Well.. DHL just dropped off my brand spankin' new 60CSX!!! Phil came through as promised! Sketchy...any news on yours?
geocachingbaker Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Well..DHL just dropped off my brand spankin' new 60CSX!!! Phil came through as promised! Sketchy...any news on yours? pictures please!!
+azspecter Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 yup- got mine as well! Been playin with it for the past hour or so. I dont have a clue of what Im doing, but man these things are cool! I did have to calibrate the compass, and it took about 20 seconds to find initial lock from my backyard. Other than that- anyone want to know anything else about it?
+SketchySmurf Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Well..DHL just dropped off my brand spankin' new 60CSX!!! Phil came through as promised! Sketchy...any news on yours? I ordered mine late last night. Opted for ground delivery, so I don't expect it until late next week. No mention of an overnight upgrade, though no company has ever done that for me. If he comes through for me as well as he did for you then I will be a lake powell convert for life...But so far, two emails sent about status, and no response yet.
+Team Duckit Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I cant believe you guys, send a picture what is up with that ???? I am geting the feeling they dont think lake powell is for real ????? Duckit
moonpup Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 yup- got mine as well! Been playin with it for the past hour or so. I dont have a clue of what Im doing, but man these things are cool! I did have to calibrate the compass, and it took about 20 seconds to find initial lock from my backyard. Other than that- anyone want to know anything else about it? Was this 20 secs for a sat to lock on, or for the gps to give a position...? When I started mine up, it took 40 secs to report a position. Note: this is not the same as locking on to a satellite...
