Cabelas used to use UPS and I would have things I ordered in about 3 days, a week at most and sometimes overnight. Now, since they merged with Bass Pro, I guess they switched to FedEx which is the worst service around. I've had a package stuck in Chicago for Two days now that was supposed to be here in the morning. I knew this merger would suck but it's sucking on every possible level. They really ruined Cabelas, it's beginning to remind me of K-Mart.

want that camo thong for x-mas don't ya?

I agree, this merger has been nothing but bad.

Secretly it's for him.

First of all - Cabela's and Bass Pro = nothing good about that!
Cabela's has lost ALL of my business and Bass Pro can go pound sand.

Secondly - anyone that's ever flown out of O'Hare (or attempted to) can tell you arrival and departure times are only "suggestions".
Nothing is ever on time there. Can't tell you how many times I've spent the night in that miserable town because of flight delays or cancellations.

Yea, right, like I need another one...… dummy

The cabelas here recently got rid of the bargain cave and filled it with expensive camo. I asked why they said it was bass pro

Sure, its obviously their fault. Nothing to do with Christmas season or that there were thousands of flights cancelled the other day.

Some of you just aren’t happy unless you have something to complain about and someone to blame for your problems.

Well, nuts to you. No one ever said that this was air mail now did they? or it was at the airport for that matter. It's just in the Chicago FedEx sorting terminal..... for days...… and yes, I'm not happy with their customer service at this point.

Correct in that the buy out is no good for the customer and FedEx is second rate. The name will eventually change to Bass Pro Shops and a few items will still have the Cabelas name. Johnny Morris is a good guy and BPS isn't bad they just didn't have quite the quality of Cabelas. Doesn't seem that long ago I was buying everything via paper catalog, check in the mail, and no clue on when it would get here.

Cabelas has also done away with its lifetime warranty on all cabelas brand merchandise.. everything is now 2 yrs with receipt , asked why they said because of bass pro

The town of Sidney NE, where Cabelas had their first store and home office........has been crippled by this buyout.

Don't know about Cabela's, but sure not happy with FedEx. We had two large packages shipped with them recently. Both sat in a building at their warehouse for over a week, about 5 miles from my home before being delivered. One was actually 9 days. I tried to find a number online to contact them to just pick them up, and got the run around so bad just gave up.

The last time I was in Cabela's I talked to a few employees, not a single one had a good thing to say about the merger. The management team at the store was fired then hired back at a lower rate. Alot of the deals and promotions were slashed. The employee discount was reduced for Cabelas employees and didn't apply to Bass Pro Stores. Cabela's products were being clearanced and replaced by BPS. There list went on and on. I talked to maybe 4 or 5 people and did not hear a single positive thing.

Heck, in Sidney, Cabelas had a "family and friends" day, where employees could invite family and friends in for big discounts. I'm guessing that's no more either.

In the past I was a big supporter of Cabelas and used their club card a lot. I ran all of my utility bills etc. through their card to build up points. With the merger BPS decided to arbitrarily change my card making it necessary to change my auto pays on a bunch of accounts. They offered no compensation or discounts for my inconvenience. Since I was forced to make the changes anyway I decided to get a Quicksilver card instead and got a bigger cashback with $200 credit to boot. I will now only use the club card for Cabelas purchases. Bass Pro Shops business plan needs some tweeking.

Yup, I have the Cabelas Club card and I use it for everything. Now that they have switched to Capital one Mastercard, it, like the rest of Cabelas, SUCKS! I hate Capital one and I'm seriously considering cancelling my account. I'm really bummed. I remember when, if you bought something with the Cabelas name, it was top notch. Now, it's mostly cheap Chinese crap like everything else. It's time to shop around but unfortunately, there is not much out there for options.

Just show them who is boss and don't buy anything from any business who ships FedEx. That should fix them good!

That is what I DO..

Just ordered a set of tires for my truck Monday afternoon from Ohio, they shipped FedEx home delivery. Sent through Chicago. On the truck and scheduled to be delivered today at 11am. When they get here, I'll ask them if they saw your package in Chicago Finster. Don't expect much, tires aren't much for spreading gossip.

Running a pair of Cabela's rubber boots this year $80 on sale, so far they out performed the more expensive brands in every way by far will, see if they make it to the end of the year without falling apart like the last 2 pairs of Lacrosse brand boots did! Just bought 3200 .22 shells for $60 after rebates and $25 of my points so some good has come out of it.
