I had a weird/scary thing happen to me regarding this deal. I bought one of these on the 5th. The Cabela's website said they were back ordered and it wouldn't be until the 17th before they'd send it. So I didn't really think anything of it until last week. I checked my cabela's account and apparently it had shipped and UPS left it on my porch the day before. (No email updates!!!) I checked the front porch; no dice. I called and verified everything. UPS had the right house and did drop it off. I guess someone stole if off my porch!!! SOaB!
Outside of the violatedness (word?) I feel for getting my stuff stolen, I'm paranoid that someone out there knows that I have the means to shoot that caliber. And honestly, who has an ar and doesn't have other guns too. I guess my next investment will be in some security cameras. Super!
But back to Cabela's. I called them and explained the sitch. 2 minutes on the phone and they sent me another free of charge. I understand they have insurance for things like this. But I definitely experienced top notch customer service from someone who knew what they were doing. They have earned a customer for life.
As for UPS, why cant they put a little effort into placing packages where they cannot be seen from the street. There are several places on my porch where they can place a package that is somewhat hidden. But they have never done this. And why no emails. That seems dumb too.
