Marcum LX3 update time?

[mnhunter2]

Anyone have any idea as to how long it has been taking to get your LX3 updated to the new color model and get it back, sent mine on 29/11 and am getting anxious!!!

A bunch of us here in Perham sent ours in on Nov 18th (the day the upgrade program was announced), 19th, and 21st. We were promised a 10-14 day turnaround. All of us got 'em back on Nov 29th. Pretty sweet, considering Thanksgiving thrown in there. A few days back, I thought I read a post (can't find it again for the life of me) saying they had been told there's now a 4-6 week turnaround. Lotta good fishin' between now and then...

Sent mine in on 11/29 and received it today.I E-mailed them yesterday 12/13 asking them to check my TC number and they advised me within 2-hrs.that it was shipping out that day.

Good luck.

Put mine in the mail on 11/28, got it back today 12/13. If I had to wait much longer I would wait until spring.

Mine went out today and customer service advised me it would be 3-4 weeks turnaround. With the holidays coming up you got to expect it..

I'm in no big hurry as I have an LX-5 and LX-3 ready to go... It was nice that they told me ahead of time before I made my decision to send it in. Anyone knows around this time of year the post office and UPS are extremely hectic.

I talked to Marcum a couple of days ago and they said if you send it in now you should have it back after the 1st of the year.

Sent mine in the 30th of nov. got it back the 7th of dec. Now thats super service.7 days.

Sent mine in 12/2, asked them the status today and they said it shipped yesterday. Right on time and should see it tomorrow. Can't wait !!!

How much does the upgrade cost and do you guys think it is worth the money? Also, am I correct in assuming the upgrade will only give you the true color and NOT twelve levels of IR like the LX3-TC has?

Marcum received mine on 12/2 and I received it back today 12/13.

Mine left on the 6th and came back today. Man....are those colors something!

[holeinthewall]

Marcum did what they said they would do and has retained a loyal customer. They received my LX3 on 11/30 and it arrived back at my door today, 12/13. For $49 it's well worth the upgrade. The new colors are a huge improvement.

Mine took exactly 10 days. The colors look great.

I sent mine in on Thursday Dec 1, and just recieved it today Dec 14th one day less than two weeks. Can't wait to hook it back up and try it.

I just sent mine in and the guy said two weeks or less, so we'll see. He also said they are taking in quite a few lately so the wait might get longer.

[Bob Horn]

Just sent mine in today also. I`ll post went it comes back.

[BassPatrol]

I sent mine in on 12/10 and got it back today (less than 5 days)! Fast and amazing customer service, even my wife was impressed. The colors look great. Now only if there was enough ice to try it out.

[Bob Horn]

Received my upgrade today. Not a bad turn around. Sent it on the 14th and came in today. With the holidays I think that was good customer service.

[Johnnie15]

Can anyone tell me where to get the details on the upgrade program? I have never heard of it before.

[jigginjerk]

Do a search on this forum on lx3 update and you will get all the info you will need. It's worth it. The upgrade is great.

[TNFL]

Will they still be offering the upgrade in the spring? I don't want to part with mine during ice season!!! Although with this warm weather....

[CNY Tim]

Well I live in NY and I was advised 3-4 weeks when I sent it in on the 13th and low and behold it arrived last Tuesday the 27th, two weeks on the button. I'll be sending another unit to you shortly, thanks for the quick turnaround!

After reading all the great revues on the upgrade, I just had to get er done!! I sent mine in on the 6th of Dec. and it was back in my hands on the 27th, not bad! Did I mention I live in Keswick Ontario? The only beef I have is with UPS even though I had to pay an extra $10 US for shipping, UPS charges me an extra $50 Canadian for their brokerage fees they figured it was a new unit and charged me their brokerage fee on top of the $35 taxes, now I talked to Marcum and they were to fax UPS that it was an upgrade on MY unit not a purchase of a new one. Only got to use it for a couple of hours the other day and it was worth the upgrade, thanks to the guys on this board in keeping us informed. Any idea as to when Marcum might sell them up here?

Not to dig up an old post but I had to comment on the phenomenal turnaround on my serviced and upgraded LX-3. Shipped it via Fedex Ground on Monday, Marcum had it on Tues, and it was waiting at home for me on Weds afternoon; a true 2 day turnaround. That is unheard of from most anyone when shipping is involved, let alone just dropping it off. Kudos to Marcum and their service center, now I have to get out to the lake to check out the new color scheme. Good Luck! McGurk
