SW has terrible customer service online
At the gun counter too. They would rather stand back there and talk amongst themselves than help customers. I hate having to go in there. About as bad as Wal-Mart.

I like the Dundee store too. We stop by when we're in the area. I don't dislike Cabela's/Bass Pro, but I do miss some of the much higher quality stuff that has disappeared since the merger, like the Meindl boots. But I'm still very happy to have a store locally.I think I'm the only one that still likes Cabela's.
They've definitly changed since Bass Pro took over but the store in Dundee, MI still has a decent reloading section and I recently purchased a shotgun at a very good price. Not what they used to be for sure, but nothing good ever seems to last. Lol
It took about 30 minutes to buy the gun and I was out the door.
My Grandson loves looking at all the taxidermy and the aquarium.
As long as I go in with the mindset that it's a clothing and camping store that happens to sell guns and hunting stuff. I'm usually not disappointed.
Oh and to stay on topic. I feel pretty much the same way about Sportsman's Warehouse.
I don't see anything close to that at my local SW. In fact, its just the opposite with a few extra bonus...At the gun counter too. They would rather stand back there and talk amongst themselves than help customers. I hate having to go in there. About as bad as Wal-Mart.
It would be even better news if they moved back into our area.
That's quite insulting to our folks around here. Please don't paint with the broad brush. This is most certainly not the case at any of the three Sportsman's Warehouse stores near me. The guys and gals at the gun counters are typically very friendly, more than helpful and definitely don't engage in that type of behavior up here.At the gun counter too.

I wish they would build one here in north Dallas. We got a Scheels last year, but I can't afford to even walk into that place, not that I could make it to the door anyway... I would have to wait in line behind all the man-buns and Karens.
There was one in Lewisville back in the early 2000’s. I would go by there every time I went by https://store.sportingarms.com/ to pick up something. They had a $50 coupon in the paper for their grand opening.
Cabelas used to be great when I was a kid but now it's full of mediocre at best products.
I wasn't offended, but that's just me. Maybe lighten up a touch.That's quite insulting to our folks around here. Please don't paint with the broad brush.

As far as being insulted, I was speaking rhetorically, although I do have a couple good friends who actually work for the chain; as employees of a big franchise, they have pretty thick skin..So only you get to use a "broad brush?" If my sample size was 5 would that be OK.
I don't know who our folks are that feel insulted. For the record the only people I meant to insult we those gun counter morons I already mentioned.
OOOOOOOOO! A new place to try!!!
I’ve noticed more and more of that behavior lately. Quality of employees seems to be dropping in many services level jobs.
So big news today ... I spent three hours at our local Sportsman's Warehouse during a work day. Place was packed with old retired gray haired boomers like me, ran into several old friends from all over two counties and spent way too much time talking with everyone ... and the shelves were full of ammo. They even had reloading components (no primers) but I picked-up a couple of pounds of Staball 6.5 and some Hornady XTP 38 158 grains #35750 that I'l roll-up into some hot 357 mag loads for my 1894 CB LTD. The Staball I really like in my 270. No primers ... the guy laughed, said they may never see those again. Tons of brass of all kinds but pricey even in bulk. Lots of ammo, shotgun stuff, even buckshot. No Flite Control but everything else. The racks and walls and display counters were slammed full of firearms, scopes, binos, rangefinders, knives, etc.
Everyone was talking about the busted merger. Employees were happy to be getting overtime restocking shelves. Place looked really stocked and they said they still had truckloads of stuff to put out this week. Didn't realize how much all pf them hated Cabela's and Bass Pro until today ... they really let lose. Even the girls.
They had signs up everywhere about the merger ending ... I took a picture but it's on my phone and I have to figured-out how to upload it from my tablet. (Edited to see below.)
Prices are still ridiculous but at least stock/inventory might be returning, or so it would appear with a lot of the stuff.
Sportsmans is doing pretty well financially...its why Bass Pro wanted to get their hands on it. Taking to a supervisor the other day, they say they are going to go foward with expansion plans made before merger talks. Their main distribution hub is in the western states...they are planned on putting up another one on the East coast sometime soon. This will allow for faster restock and online sales deliveries..so he told me anyway.Interested to see where that goes. Sometimes a merger is bad for a company, but often the company needs it to survive. I guess we will see if they stay in business.
For all the complaints people have about Bass Pro and Cabella's my experiences with BP have always been stellar. Having had one in the neighborhood when I lived in Hollywood FL there was rarely a week went by that I wasn't in there for boat supplies, fishing gear or ammo. While I never bought a gun there I have used their range. I moved to a spot where it's an hour minimum to get to a BP and I can say with some certainty it is better to have one in the neighborhood than not.
