Buy recommendations Cabella's WTF

Post image

I ordered a Garmin Xero C1 since they are were on sale for $140 off. The order was placed on Aug 14. Still hasn't shipped. Here is what I get from them today.

They want $120 to ship the thing saying its a Hazmat item. LMAO

I will be ordering directly from Garmin, with FREE shipping.

I bought a Benelli M4 from Cabella last year during their Black Friday sale. They had the best price and other places were either sold out or slightly more expensive. 

Big mistake, took them a month to fulfill the order (even though it was in stock at the store I want to pick up from.) 

The folks behind the counter were nice and all but I spent literally an hour and half standing there while they were trying to find the store manager to sign out the gun. The whole process is so convoluted and disorganized.

How is the gun though?

It has appreciated in value by about $300, lol. That's the thing I liked most about it. 

Yeah, it's a lot of fun but in retrospect I should have bought a 1301 and a Turknelli for a similar sum. Great gun and all but the M4 is simply overpriced.

I went to buy ammo on sale and they wanted me to sign in with all my info and reasons for being there so I could be put on a list just to be seen at the counter.

Oh yeah I really want them to have more records of me being in their store... /s
