Transfer question….

Bought a restricted from Cabela’s and received an email notification of 2 transfer with attached pdf from the rcmp.

Eventually I received everything hard copy.

When I reached out to cabela’s about the order status they told me they could “get no information from the rcmp” about rhe transfer due to privacy laws and that I should call them?

I forwarded them the electronic transfer document and was not responded to for weeks.

Finally they responded with a single line:

“This order is cancelled.”

But the firearm was transferred to me….. but never shipped.

Do I just contact the CFO and ask them to reverse the transfer? I do not trust cabela’s knows what they are doing at all.

Anything else I should or need to do?

They asked you to call them, did you call them?

Call them and see if they still have the item and if they can ship it and bill you.

I may have not explained well. I was asked to call the cfo which seemed odd since I had the registration certificate in my hand physically.

Have followed up by calling Cabela’s and there is definitely some strange things afoot as they apparently cancelled my order and sold it to someone else…. After transfer.

They are very apologetic and are now working hard to try and redirect it back to me.

Once on the phone their customer service has been fantastic.
