fly Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 What a workout Cabela's can be! Worth it in the end, but darn! They had a sale last month and I got a great deal on some LaCross boots (119.99 ale 79.99). I arrived at the store right when they opened for the sale and by the time I walked to footware they were out of size 10, so I got the last pair (11's) thinking they'd still work. When I got home I realized they would not work. I also tried to get the treestalker safety harness that was on sale, but again they were out. I went ahead and ordered one and was supposed to have it in 10 days. After 2 weeks I called and alas the paperwork was never sent. They said they's send another order. Well it came in last night so I went to get it and see about exchanging my boots for a size 10. Of course the safety harness was not on sale now and the boots I had bought were a different camo color and no longer on sale. After a lot of talk and "managerial" decisions I ended up exchanging my boots for a size 10 in the new camo and a saftey harness for the sale price.

stevebeilgard Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 i'm surprised they didn't give you the sale price right off... they are usually better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 i'm surprised they didn't give you the sale price right off... they are usually better than that. Yep, me too. Their customer service is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Sounds to me there is a local "manager" that might not be long for Cabela's! I have had nothing but great service from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Glad they took care of it for you. A lot of times their 4 hour sale stuff runs out in a few minutes and there are no rain checks or special orders. You can get out of stock items shipped free of charge most other times.

RangerClay Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've had some bad experinces with Cabelas. Be VERY careful if you order something overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 i'm surprised they didn't give you the sale price right off... they are usually better than that. I've got to agree .. I'm suprised they even gave you a hard time about the exchange and the sale price .. Now just don't ask them for the Special edition Hard Cover Catalog, even tho you spend a ton with them they'll flat out refuse to put you on that list ..

The boots were a 4 hour special (so I guess I'm fortunate they exchanged them). However the safety harness was on sale for several weeks. I think it ended about a week ago. Glad I kept the add with the sale price on it. When I order on-line or via catalog I have always had exceptional service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Is that the one just below Antioch? I shopped there. Cabeals is a great adventure. Too bad I don't have $ all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've got a sneaky suspicion that he went to the Hazelwood, MO location at St. Louis Mills since it's a relatively short drive from his home area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
