Best Customer Service....EVER

[rebbel31]

Sorry in advance for the rambling... About 15 years ago I found a Whites brochure at a dentists office and took it home thinking it would be a cool hobby. About 9 years 4 houses and 2 states later I was finally in a position to get me one. The new Vx3 I wanted was 1500 so a lil too much for me. I decided to buy a V3i on Craigslist for 1000 with 2 coils and a pinpointer. It worked great for 5 years or so, then it started falsing and not picking up anything deeper than 2 inches, I tried my other coil and it immediately went overload. I assumed it was shot, but, I figured what the heck and emailed Whites asking if I could send it in for a estimate, to see if it was even fixable. They said send it in with a description of problems. After about 5 weeks I emailed back to see the prognosis. They said, O yeah its been shipped and you should have it tomorrow, I said I didn't receive an invoice. They said they'd covered it under warranty and refurbished the coils and head unit. I said cool, whats the charge, I got back Zero, nothing, hope you enjoy, we're glad to help. I had always heard they're CS was great, from experience, yes it is!

Yup! Had a similar thing happen to my Coinmaster that acted up. It was almost a year out of warrantee. Explained the problem and the rep said send it back with a check for $20 for shipping. I asked...How can you do that? She replied "That's what we do". They replaced the coil and the P/P button. My next detector will be a Whites.

Go through the treasure hunting magazines and newsletters from the 1960's and 1970's. See how many detector manufacturers advertising back then are still around today.

Good luck to all,

I had a similar situation. I drove to Sweet Home, Oregon to have my V3i coil looked at since it was on overload all the time.

They replaced the coil and wished me good luck. I asked how much? They said it was covered under their warranty.

Whites wrote the book on metal detector customer service.

I still have the DFX I love that machine so much and I still want to own a piece of this great company. No longer have the V3i I had to thin my Harem to get a Deus and it looks like I need to thin my Harem again for an Equinox but I will still not let go of my DFX.
