On the 15th I ordered a .22 rifle from Cabela's. On November 16th I found my rifle somewhere else with out the 8-14 day wait. I called Cabelas/BassPro and tried to cancel the order. They won't do it. I made a mistake and used a debit card, I never do that and now I am reminded why. They have a hold on my bank account. They will not refund my money until they charge my card. They will not charge my card until the item is delivered to my local store. They have no idea when that might happen. They have no idea where the rifle might be coming from. They say they have the rifle, they just don't know where it is and when it will be shipped. The lady I talked with today told me they really hadn't taken the money out of my account, just a hold on it. That seems to be a differentation without a difference. The money might be there but they bank won't release it and treats it as if it's gone. The bottom line is it's all the computer's fault, it won't let them refund my money.
My first lesson here is don't use a debit card.
I forgot that card was a debit card, that's my only excuse.
My second lesson is that ultra big outfits like this are more burearucratic than the government.
So beware when you order from them, if you're not careful like me you can have you money tied up and not available to you, which is just the same as not having it until they decided they want to give it back to you.
