“Good web store”

I took metal detectors for the first time. I decided to take on the advice of friends on this site. We arrived on time, everything is in order. The quality is also normal.

“Beware of lots of misrepresentation”

G g.
4/2/23

I worked for Kellyco for several years. They try to promote that they're a family company. They are more like a corporation. There are lots of misrepresentation. First, the pictures of the warehouse, is from many many years ago. They have very few detectors at their location and contract with another company to ship most all of their items. Kellyco Says they certified experts that sells their products. They are not certified by anyone. As a matter of fact, most people that work there don't metal detect at all and don't know the basics of metal detecting. On several occasions when certain employees were invited by the manufacture to learn about their products, the employees passed on showing up. There is now the new owners but again there's misrepresentation, because most of the upper management is still there and in place and the owners do little to improve or change anything. The puppet master, John Parrish hides in his office and rarely interacts with anyone other than a few. Mark Slimensky does all of his bidding and doesn't remember what he says and I don't think he knows what's the word, "truth", means. Daniel Carboniel says he's an honest guy but then doesn't back it up as John Parrish Controls him. They do what it takes just to stay within the letter of the law. Many times customers complained because they never received their product and I eventually found out why. Because they didn't pay their bills with the manufacturers and the manufactures wouldn't send it to the customer. Kellyco would say that it's a shipping error which was totally untrue. Refunds to customers would take forever and would only refund the customers money when the customer called in and complained multiple times. Many of their testimonials are from customers years and years ago. Is Kellyco a honest company? No

Fast, easy and friendly. I love the discounted items that are so much more pricier in store across the US.

I got my part very quickly but I don't think it is performing like it should. I need to talk with a tech from Kellyco about my possible problem with my 13" Ultimate DD Coil 134-13uw

Focused mainly on beach detecting. Lots of information with details to process that can be adapted to different kinds of hunting. Only provided limited information on fresh water lake detecting in shallow water. Would like to see another Dankowski DVD with similar detail specifically on fresh water lake detecting using scuba.

Although it is a Christmas present and not opened yet, I was happy over all with the service, shipping and delivery. Unfortunately my husband knows what he is getting for Christmas because it has it on the return label (no Christmas surprise). I have to ship packages to his work because of porch pirates. He is super excited about his gift and he can write a review once he opens it and tries it out.

Paid for overnight. Got it in 36hrs instead. Wasted 107 bucks on special shipping. Could have paid for 2 day instead.

The small order recently placed was delivered on time and I was happy with the quality of the products received. The people at Kellyco are very knowledgeable and helped answer all my questions as a first time metal detecting customer.

I have also had a detector and pin-pointer on back order now for many months. Not Kellco's fault because they are dependent on the manufacturer getting them the products but I wish we were hearing more regarding the status of these back orders. Thus, the reason for a four star rating and not five star.

Did lots of research all over the net for my new hobby. I kept coming back to Metaldetector.com as they had the best information on the products and most importantly good customer feedback. Ended up the best deal on my new Garrett GTI 2500 with Treasure Hound Depth Multiplier. This combination saved me thousands of $$$ as the combination met all the needs of my upcoming expedition. Ordered on a Saturday morning they are closed. Order was shipped on Monday and arrived exactly when the confirmation said it would. All of the promised Bonus Items were included in the shipment. Only thing that they should of included with the product I bought on another site and that was a 9.5" Search Coil Cover to protect my smallest search coil. I would recommend the company to others and also purchase from them again.

Tip for consumers:
A ton of information on their site!
