WATCH OUT - Cabela's online vs store pricing

[steelshooterco]

This happen a while ago, checked catalog to see if they carried an item before going to local Cabela's, it was on sale on line for $25.00 off, when they rang it up at the register, no sale price. Comment was, what gives, this is on sale for $49.99 on the website! Clerk looked it up from their register and gave us the sale price.

Went in to day to pick up several pairs of cargo pants and shorts, they were on sale on the website, but full price at the store, when checking out mentioned this and got the price reduced by $48 (25%).

So if you are headed to a Cabela's store check the website prices first, they aren't looking out for you!

Hi,

I've found it helpful to print out the website ad before heading to the actual store. Dunno about Cabela's, but while other stores have matched the web price, the nuts and bolts of the procedure was time consuming, and having the ad in hand helped speed it up. One clerk told me there's a code she has to key in that jumps right out of the printed ad but is a pain to find otherwise.

Lots of stores offer better online deals than at the store. I usually print out the online offers and take them in as Rick does. It was surprising to me how many different stores do that.

I don't blame them for an online sale...and regular price in the store.

Order it online and do "ship to store" for free. That's what I always do to make sure I don't waste an hour ride out there. Get what I want, when I want it and pick it up.

MANY places have different prices for online & in store

MANY will NOT honor the online price

Buyng online for them means a more direct way to buy thus lower price offered
Less hassle for them, less employee time, less storage .......

Some states have enacted "scanner accuracy" laws, also requiring the price of an item to be marked on each item (grocery stores) and/or on a shelf tag.
Michigan law as an example of consumer protection:
The new Shopping Reform and Modernization Act, or Scanner Law, requires that most items on store shelves be clearly displayed with the price; by signage, electronic reader, price sticker, or any other method that clearly and reasonably conveys the price to a consumer in the store at the place where the item is located. If an automatic checkout system (scanner) charges you more than the displayed price of an item, and:

1) the transaction has been completed, and

2) you have a receipt indicating the item purchased and the
price charged for it.

Then:
You must notify the seller that you were overcharged, within 30 days of the transaction, either in person or in writing. Within two days of receiving your notice, the seller may choose to refund you the difference between the amount charged and the price displayed plus a "bonus" of ten times the difference, with a minimum of $1.00 and a maximum of $5.00. If the seller does not pay you both the refund and the bonus, you may bring a lawsuit to recover your actual damages or $250.00, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney fees up to $300.00.

Sale items are usually another matter. It is up to the customer to verify the actual selling price in Colorado, a state which lags in consumer protection laws.

I usually buy from the website. They are almost always less expensive and they send it to the house!

That law got repealed several years ago.
