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 am not familiar with the item (i haven't looked it up)... Does it come with a large battery?

I work in IT and quite often, we have to deal with this kind of shit for certain things like Laptops when shipping. And its hit or miss.

It's a chronograph. It has a lithium ion battery. I was a network admin for 20 years and never had any issues getting a rechargeable mouse delivered. lol

That's probably the bullshit they are using to argue it then.

Yeah its ridiculous lately... Some places even ship the battery separately now.

with that said... I agree with everyone else, fuck Cabelas lol

I have a sneaky suspicion they are out of stock in Canada and want to charge me to have it shipped from a US warehouse.
