Cabella's took care of me!

[Mychael101]

I decided to pick up a crickett .22 rifle for my daughter and called Cabela's to put the last one they had on hold for me. Long story short, I get there and they are selling it to someone else.

Knowing that is the only pink one in the area I inform the salesperson that the pink rifle is on hold for me. The woman isn't happy and tells me that she's been playing with that rifle for half an hour. I say that's all well and fine, but that one of the staff called me and confirmed this over an hour ago. Salesguy says he's going to have to speak with his manager to settle this.

Once I saw that the family involved was purchasing another rifle, targets, ammo, ect. I knew how this was going to play out. They confirmed my story that I had spoken with someone to have it set aside and that they dropped the ball. I, personally, think that they were not interested in losing out on what was clearly a purchase much larger then mine. Since, all I needed was the rifle.

Manager comes out and gives me an apology. Then tells me they are looking for another one that is local. After about 20 minutes or so another manager comes out and states that they are going to order another one and give it to me free of charge! Pretty kick ass, just goes to show that keeping your cool can pay off.

That is fucking awesome.

Edit: Too bad that happened with a little .22 and not something expensive like a Patriot Ordinance AR.

that is surprising.

i doubt they'd be giving away an AR in the same situation.

Nah man, they took care of me also when I went to purchase my 870.

It was on sale for $320 and they told me that my $50 off coupon on anything over $300 was not applicable to guns. To add to this I was a US resident back then and I would always get delayed, so I had to wait two days to go back to buy it. Turns out when I get back there they were sold out (sold mine) and they no longer had the sale. I almost flipped out, but I calmly asked the manager if there was something they could do. They accepted my coupon and gave me $25 off for the shotgun as well making it $265 out the door. REALLY nice price for an 870 at the time.

Kurt Junker runs that outfit and he's a pretty cool dude, he's helped me out on a couple of used buys.

Just picked up a crickett for my son today (Academy @ DNT/Parker still has a pink one).

Works great (he's 6), although he doesn't really understand sight picture yet... so it's more "shoot the pond" than "hit the target."

That's good to know but for the way the folks at Cabela's handled things they certainly earned my future business. BTW, did your son's rifle come with a scope in the box?

[goofygrin]

No. Cricketts don't come with scopes (well the $99 ones don't).

I agree thought... way they took care of you deserves repeat business!

They (Cabelas) helped me decide on a youth 20g too, and were very helpful.

Awesome. You should spend the money that you were going to spend on the rifle on something else in the store.

[KBScobravert]

Good for you. I have bought a few guns from cabella's and they even honored a 10% off military discount on a thousand dollar Sign.

No doubt, it will be going towards camping gear for this summer!

They printed an add that showed the Colt M4 Ops 22 for $399. I called to make sure because the picture and discription said M4 Ops, but the sku was for the cheaper version. They said "Nope, it is the M4 and we have a couple here"
I drove over an hour to get there, wait in a long ass line, only to be told that there is no way they can sell that gun for that price, basically to go fuck myself!

pretty much my usual dealings except one rare occasion they made me a deal.

[slowyellow]

Pretty awesome to hear how they dealt with you.
