Cabela's Reviews

Just bought a supposedly brand-new rifle from Cabela’s at Hoffman’s Estates in Illinois. After the prescribed 3 day waiting period, I came over to the store to pick it up, signed at the digital kiosk and waited my turn. After giving them my receipt and the needed identification and foid card it took them more than 30 minutes to hand me my duly paid for firearm. I was told the manager was so busy on the phone. But when I got home I noticed that the grip on the firearm was already aftermarket kind (magpul) but according to the manufacturer website the firearm only come with the manufacturer’s own brand of grip.

I recently made a purchase at Cabela's for $1,000, I showed them my military ID for the discount, when I got home I realized that I never received the discount. So, I called customer service and they told me the only way I can get the discount is if I return to the store which is an hour away. So they screwed up and it is my problem to fix. Terrible!

Cabela's, Never again... Cabela product returns must be sent through FedEx, and the closest FedEx office to our family's Michigan home location is 48 minutes away... Until Cabela's starts using other services, such as UPS, we will no longer be shopping there, or online!

World's Foremost Outfitter, what a joke. If you want to purchase gear from a retailer that stands behind their products, look someplace else. I purchased a Sig Sauer rangefinder a little over a month before hunting opener and a month into hunting I had issues with the product. Cabela's answer. Tough nut, you had it longer than 90-days (about 5 days out) so Cabela's refused to stand behind and replace the product. I would give then 0 Stars if I could. I guess standing behind their product went away when Bass Pro purchased Cabela's.

Go To Jays or another store!! Cabela's has fallen from being a sporting Goods store from corporate buyers making it a clothing store..adding smaller junk to fill the spaces. Once what was is no more... Sad!!

Bought a 2023 Tracker Targa with a Mercury 225 Pro XS outboard from Cabela's in Gainesville, Virginia. Before I bought the boat I noticed the engine was mounted too high on the transom and I said so to the dealer. They told me that it was installed that way at the factory and was standard. I've installed my share of outboards and know that was incorrect. I let it slide as I was unfamiliar with a deep-V hull. I have since discovered it is not an uncommon issue. After joining the Yarga owners FB group I read post after post of the engines being mounted too high on these boats and the problem being corrected by remounting 1-3 holes lower.

Waiting at Cabela's in Green Bay for 48 min at the gun counter, it was not busy. Staff would walk by and not say a word. After 55 min I waved my hand and asked Paul if I could get some help, he ignored me. I asked if I could get some service, he said, "Wait your turn." Helping more than one customer or acknowledging the other customers around would have been fine with me, but being ignored or not even acknowledged is horrible customer service. After I pickup my gun I will close my Cabela's account and never shop at a Cabela's or Bass Pro ever again. Tip for consumers: Shop at Virlee Gunworks for guns, best customer service you can ask for.

I will never again shop again at any Bass pro/Cabela’s stores again! Worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Look around before shopping there. Capital one is now Capital Zero and I will never be one of their customers again.

I placed a order, was notified item shipped and given EDD. Item never came and unable to track it. Called Basspro, they could not provided any information of what happen to my order, they said they would re ship the item and expedite it to arrive the next day with waived overnight shipping item. Again never came, called again, stated item never went out til the next morning and item would come in 3 business days. Unable to track item. All they offered was a $25 gift card to continue shopping with them. The item purchased was almost $300. Told them to keep their $25 and will never do business with them again after messing up not 1 but 2 of my orders

Ordered an item online and it took a good amount of time to get to the store. Went to the no touch pick up area and made the call, NO ANSWER. Went into the store and asked an employee for help. He said someone would be right with me. Six minutes later still no one so I left. While I was waiting there were four employees in the gun section next to me doing absolutely nothing. I will never go back and apparently CABELA'S is good with that.

I was charged 253.85 for my order on 12-21-2020. On 12-23-2020 I was charged again for the same items but in four separate orders from Bass Pro for charges I did not authorize. The double charging on my prepaid card caused me to not have the money I counted on and ruined my Christmas and shopping I had left to do with every bit of money I had left. Thanks a lot Cabela's bass pro for the presents that were not got for the kids who deserved them. I will never do biz with them again because they simply don't care about the little guys.

Cabela's stores advertise used guns on GunsInternational.com and state that there is a 3-day inspection/return but that is a lie. Gun bought didn't work and they refuse to take it back. False advertising!

Errors on the website, unreachable, and then indifferent and grossly incompetent phone "customer service," are the hallmarks of Cabela's. Additionally, the staff at the local store treats customers as a disruption to their otherwise good day. After several awful, unpleasant shopping experiences at both online and local Cabela's, I'll do my best to never shop at that terrible company.

Recently paid off our balance in full - not. Spoke to a customer service rep and paid off our $5K + balance. Good thing. We were rewarded with a $38 interest fee that the customer service rep said could not be waived. He said we could view a video for visual aid as to why this interest charge was being incurred. Our business was clearly not appreciated so we cancelled our account. They can take our $6000 in available credit and shove it. Will never enter a Bass Pro/Cabela's store again. A fine example of big business not caring about the individual. Would give a zero star rating if I could. Thanks!

I ordered a Bass Raider 10e Boat on 05/21/20. The boat showed 2-3 weeks delivery and they charged my card over $500 for the item. On 06/19/20 I called and was told that it would be in and available for pickup on 06/22/20. After checking the status changed to "backordered". I patiently waited again. Today I checked the status and it now shows "Shipped" but in the details it said "cancelled". I called and found out that my order has been cancelled! I asked about the hold on my money and they said it should be released soon!!!! They have held my money for over 7 weeks only to cancel the order. Won't be dealing with them again even though they are just about the only sports/fishing store in town. I'll order online from another company from now on. I won't trust BassPro or Cabela's anymore.

My local Cabela's Bass Pro Shop has wonderful customer service, an expansive merchandise array, and great sales! Children love the huge aquariums. And my Golden Doodle, Dezi, is always a welcome guest.

Cabela's used to be my go-to place for hunting. Since Bass Pro bought them they have gone downhill in choices and raised prices. It's still a decent store but was better before Bass Pro bought them. They now seem to carry only two brand of hunting clothes, one of which is extremely pricey, and the selection of types and fabrics is very limited.

Great variety of products, things you won't find in other stores, the best selection of gear for the sportsman. Always look forward to going to this store, huge indoor walkthrough freshwater aquarium filled with game fish and a few other species. Plan on spending at least several hours there just to browse through the store.

I love Cabela's because they have such a variety of camping, hunting, fishing, hiking and outdoors equipment and clothing for men and women. I always find something there I love and the prices are reasonable so I buy a lot of gifts there for outdoor-loving friends and family.

The quality is pretty good. But since bad pro shop took over, there is less variety and they don't give military discounts on guns and ammo like they used to. The rules have changed on that. Customer service is fair. Every time I go, some one offers to assist me. And if I have to find someone to help, they are always happy to.
