luckyzac Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I ordered mine on 9/15 with a delivery date of 9/24. I got an e-mail yesterday (9/22) changing the status to delivered. Fingers crossed, is "Today" my day for delivery ??? But geeze, after I get mine, I'll miss all you guys on this forum !! Yeah the fourm has been going on for so long. We all have been awaiting our GPS units to come in. Im glad i got mine yesterday...I have to find time to go caching now Quote Link to comment
+txclif Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Got mine today. Now I can return my boss' unit. Quote Link to comment
+jamrasc Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Yeah mine came today also. Now I have to figure out how to use it. It seems to be a bit more complicated than the etrex yellow I already have. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieNae Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Mine came yesterday too! I first got an email saying it was not available .. 2 hours later an email saying it shipped .. then it arrived. Pretty cool, I used this type of GPS for my first month of geocaching. I returned it and got a different model. And now, I have it for far cheaper than I originally paid for it. Quote Link to comment

New Pig Hunter Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 ordered mine Friday September 17th.... I just checked: back-ordered until early October. what makes me nervous is that there is no record when I input the "order number" into the website tracking check..... but the order was found by the nice lady during the phone call, so I'm in the system anyway.....

I wouldn't worry too much about your order. My Dad ordered one and on Tuesday night he got an email saying that it was back ordered until October with no further information. By Wed. morning he got an email saying that it was shipped, and he had it by noon on Wed. I ordered one too, and I got the shipping notice, and the next day got the unit by UPS yesterday, and to top it off, today I got an email saying that it was backordered!!! Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left hand is shipping. -John Quote Link to comment
aluri Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Looks like all the GPS Systems are back online at http://www.officemax.com/ But now it is $199.98. Quote Link to comment

Yea, I thought that was the error. The Legend and the Vista's prices were reversed. Glad I got in on their mistake. Quote Link to comment

Yea, no worries - I got the "backordered until..." notice, and also had an order number that wasn't recognized by their website, not to mention the contradicting dates - but no biggie - it showed up anyway.

+DocDiTTo Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) I ordered my Vista on 9/14 and was told it would be here this past week... I'm not holding my breath. Shame the deal is over. Edited September 25, 2004 by DocDiTTo Quote Link to comment
+rstettne Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I am new to all this stuff. Isn't $199 still a good price? I ordered one today with a $20 coupon, beats all my local stores. Looking to forward to going on my first cache hunt after I get the Vista. RS Quote Link to comment
+jurisdoctor Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 where did you get the $20 coupon for officemax? Quote Link to comment

I was at the dreaded work over the weekend. Did manage to squeeze in two finds Sat. night while out map shopping. Still waiting for my GPS.........Geeze, some people are taking cuts (JK) I ordered mine on Sept. 10th. Anyone here really good at puzzle caches, or is that a different thread ? Quote Link to comment
+Team Owl Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I ordered mine on 9/4, it still has not arrived! I keep calling but no luck. Quote Link to comment
MedTexPlacer Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I received my Vista from OfficeMax the other day. It really has alot of features that I will have to learn to use. The direction arrow seems steadier than the yellow eTrex, but they both seem to get you to the same place. Quote Link to comment

+jurisdoctor Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I ordered mined from Staples.com on Sunday with a price match from Office Max's $199 price - so my net price was $192. Then I redeemed a $15 rebate voucher that I had. Also, on the back of my staples catalog was an offer for a $25 voucher on your next order. So-- I actually got $40 off and free shipping. Sounds like Staples is shipping from Garmin directly - order is supposed to be here next week.. We'll see. Quote Link to comment
+jurisdoctor Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Walmart.com current price on the Etrex vista is $218 so they beat office max right now. Quote Link to comment
+DocDiTTo Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Just a note for anyone who ordered the Vista from OfficeMax and is still waiting to get it - according to OM policy,they can cancel any order that's backordered for 14 days or more. I called them up to check on the status of my order (I ordered on 9/14) and they were still backordered. I asked the lady to ensure my order was not cancelled, and she flagged my order as such. Anyone else who's waiting might want to do the same thing, otherwise they may just cancel your order. Better safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment
