I ordered a metal detector on June 22 and to this day it is still in the same state in the same city they claimed I didn’t pay for shipping so it could take 5 to 8 days. It’s already been 12 days buyer beware once again buyer beware I’ve seen multiple negative feedback and reviews about this company and it’s sad that I didn’t see it before I ordered the item
BUYER BEWARE!!

I've been buying detectors and gear from Serious Detecting for over 10 years. I have never had any issues whatsoever.

Did you pay for shipping? By my count from the information you provided it has been 8 days not 12.

Not in anyway minimizing your issue with them. Just another perspective.

Sorry about your problem. You should have gotten free shipping with your purchase. Strange! I buy from them often with no issues. I ordered the Wsa2 headphones from them a few weeks ago and they shipped for free in a timely manner, 3-5 days. Good luck hunting.
 
always been good for me too, it does take a while to ship somethings such as a detector and cost more and it can take a week to 10 days. most ads I see say plus shipping. From personal experience I am like others and time go slow when waiting for a new detector. and 2 days seem like a week..
A few years back now I ordered in one from a dealer down south and watching it on tracking it left the UPS and went back to the same place 2 days later then went out again and went back 4 days later, the out again and it took another week to get it, just wonder if they knew where North Dakota was .

I hope you see your detector soon as they normally are very good to do business with.
 
They own this now! Holding onto it for 5 days!! It’s a bust out scheme!

It's been quite a while but I have ordered from Serious a good number of times and have always had good results and good prices. This would seem to be a USPS problem , not a Serious one. I have noticed great geographic differences with USPS service with the NE corridor being much more problematic than any other area in the US.
 
I've had nothing but exemplary service from them.
Though I'm in the next state.
Usually I received my items with in 24 hours.
Never more than three days unless it was a backordered item.
I've also never had them send USPS.
Usually UPS.
Also I've never seen postage Not posted on the invoice free or otherwise.

As Sprchng mentioned.
This appears to be a shipper issue.

Have you contacted them personally ?
Maybe pay what they claim is lacking.

I usually use PayPal with any seller or dealer I'm unfamiliar with.
They have always corrected any problems.

Lately I have had friends telling of horror stories dealing with USPS lately.

You could go to your bank and have funds pulled back.

I wish you the best of Luck

I see the problem now as the label was made on 22nd at 8'52 AM then sent to the shipper on the 22nd also at 1;52 PM so it was ready to ship, so looks like it sat at the shipper for 5 days which looks like it sat at the Post office for 5 day as they had it until the 27 waiting to be accepted and then sent out on the 27th. The thing to figure out is why it sat 5 days which I don't think it was the dealers fault as he sent the same day it was ordered. Now is the figure out why it sat for 5 days before sent off to the next terminal waiting to be accepted . sometimes parcel post is less money to ship than First class as it has priority over parcel post and why I sent my packages Priority mail which cost a little more and know it will be delivered in 2 or 3 day east or west of me, but going south take a day or so longer.
Now I wonder why the dealer sent it the same day the order came in, but it didn't move from the shipper in the same town for 5 days. Serous detector sent it out the same day so it is not their problem, but the shipper sat on it for 5 days.

USPS is quite finicky.. I recently sent two packages to the same location. They arrive 4 days apart, One, Sitting in one location for 2 days. Seems as though anything going to Fl takes forever.
Ive seen packages take very scenic routes to their final destinations. Going back and forth between the same 2 distribution locations. Shipping companies never heard of the phase.
'The shortest distance between 2 points !!!!' Keep an eye on things and eventually it should get there.

Sorry for your troubles....Been there many times....
