I was in the store about three weeks ago. The sales person told me that BPS had eliminated the product warranties that Cabelas provided. No more life time replacements on anything.
I'm all for supporting small our door shops most of time service is so much better by more knowledgeable peopleI buy all my clothing from archery talk and Mossy Oak online store so much cheaper and I have plenty of little shops close by for anything else I need their products and customer service has went way down
Cabelas online bargain cave is no longer even close to the sales they used to have. I kept checking back in for a while in hopes to see deals like I used to get before the merger. Finally gave up. Magazines are more bass pro focused now. A jacket I have that came from Cabelas was labeled as a "new item" with a Bass pro logo on it in a magazine. Found that interesting.
I gotcha. I was at the grand opening of that store. I was in town for work. They handled that opening very well. Ton of employees they brought in from all over.The bargain cave at cabelas next to Carowinds is no longer there. They sale champion generators in the bargain cave now.
I remember that wash tub. I saw the biggest bream I've ever seen in my life in that tub. That must have been close to 50 years ago.None of these stores today as good as the old Mom & Pop's stores use to be. You remember the Hills store and Thorns in Raleigh back years ago....now they had what you wanted and not China made either. Remember, could walk into Thorns on a Saturday morning and they had a wash tub sitting out in the isle, full of water, and someone had caught a 10 lb. bass in to get it weighed....that bass took up whole tub! Now, those guys knew what we needed and if they did not have it today, it would be in there next time you came in. Post pictures of big fish caught, bucks killed, and was could always help you find answer to any question you had concerning hunting and fishing. Hills just closed few years ago, I got items in my barn with price stickers on it from Hills....mind goes back to those days each time I pick up one of those items to use.
What!!! Say it ain’t so... well, cancel the trip I had planned as Bargain Cave was the highlightThe bargain cave at cabelas next to Carowinds is no longer there. They sale champion generators in the bargain cave now.
Billy, close to 60 years now....saw my first red plastic worms in there....rigged with hooks and mono in them....my Uncle came by one day and had them and we went to pond across the road and bass hit them bout every cast....most amazing thing have ever seen. I bought them red worms and cleaned out that pond....think they were made by Cream.
Really? Last time I was there they asked for my member card but it was a few months ago.When shopping at BPS during the holidays, learned that they no longer issue purchase points unless you were using their credit card.
Over time used to accumulate a lot of points to use towards another purchase.
....Cabelas releases statement
I've been done with BPS ever since I stopped at the one in Raleigh … and they had a sign to check your handgun at the door. BS.
RE the two sides...I wonder if it was something like, "Don't pose with Jaguars or Lions, we don't need what happened to the Dentist to happen to us" and that was misinterpreted. I also have to consider that the woman who went public had something to gain or a play in mind. If she's looking to start her own show, product line, outfitter, whatever, this move brought her name to the public in a way that it hasn't in the past.so did camping world,,,,I don't take it at face value,,,,paper holds still for anything,,,they are in full damage control mode
now don't get me wrong,,,two sides to every story,,,,but as someone said up-thread, a half blind man could see this PC crap coming,,,,the two organizations are nothing but pure business that happens to sell outdoor related items,,,no better than a walmart in my mind,,,,
I am as done with them as I am with with walmarts,,,won't mean you won't see me in one some day but I sure won't if I have other options,,,,
