Buying From Cabelas?

[Danpachi2]

I ordered a few things from cabelas just recently.
More specifically, i ordered about 20 or so lures. I used the surface shipping method, and they came in less than 2 weeks. the surface shipping method i believe costs 25% of the total cost of the items you are buying and air shipping costs a lot more. From memory i think either 40% or 50% of total cost.

they wont send surface mail over 42 inches in length . I t wont let you when you place the order I tried many times to bypass . But with the exchange rate so good $210 item + postage + exchange rate even on visa still only jacked it to $354 Aus for item that was $600 Aus here .

Hi,

I have been buying from Cabelas for some years now and I have never had a problem, except from the wife!

I have purchased items under their own name and again have found these products to be great.

Delivery has always been within 2 weeks of order and you are notified via email when items have been shipped.

As with everything always check exchange rates, special buys and do your homework and you should be right.

Hope this helps.

Joe

Hi Guys

Havent bought from these guys but have bought from alltackle.com a couple of times. Very happy with the prices and the service. I have also saved a heap. I found that the postage from alltackle was less than capalas. My last shipping cost was about $50 for 5 reels some braid and leader.
