It's called your Classic Bait and Switch, I called this morning when I got the cancelled order and was told they would not substitute number 8 shot for the order, so I asked to be left on backorder until the shells came in and I was told that was not possible. Which is why I say this was a classic bait and switch, they never planned to honor the price, send out a few cases and put the rest on BO and then cancel and the person will reorder something else.....Yes I was in retail and wholesale for over twenty five years, this was a bait and switch and you will probably see the shells back in their online catalog in Dec or Jan..

Well, at least they finally admitted what everybody already knew...

Thank you for being a loyal Cabela's CLUB Member and for contacting Cabela's! We apologize for the confusion, the main reason that the order was canceled was due to a pricing error on the website for the Herter's Field and Target Loads � Per Case, item number 218437, which stated the price at $27.99 instead of $57.99. Additionally since your order was not shipped out, you were not charged for the order; if you have any additional questions feel free to contact us.

I do think it was nice of them not to charge me for something I never got, however !

They charged my account for the full amount of the order, no cancellation yet. Delivery scheduled for 11/10.

Expect the initial orders were processed w/o anyone paying much attention, but then when they started to get overwhelmed w/orders someone looked and found the nature of the misprint & it came to a screeching halt.

$50/flat is a significant error.

I think most here take advantage of good deals, when found. That wasn't so much a deal as it was a simple keystroke error. I give them a pass for honoring the initial orders and then following within their printed guidelines for errors. Just saying.

Honor one - Honor all, I say

I guess we now know what it cost to produce a box of shells.

I just checked my with my credit card company and my account was not charged. I did not receive an e-mail notifying me of cancellation of my order. When I entered the order no. into Cabelas tracking system online, they do not show my order.

The inconsistent handling of this alleged error is troubling. I guess I'll just hope my order slips through the cracks since they seem A.F.U.

I am not going to say that I will never do business with Cabelas again because if someone tells me about some screaming deal on shotgun shells tomorrow, I'll probably jump on it. This wouldn't be the first time I bought shotgun shells for less than the cost of reloading components.

Well I called and complained (2 different calls ) and got no where (oh they did offer a $20 gift card) so I filed notice to the AG of Michigan about false advertising, I'm sure it won't get me anything but at least I can give them a pain in the a**. That's probably the last time I shop there (yeah I know they don't care)

FWIW: They had plenty of these loads at their Centennial store on Tuesday last. They were $57.99 which, really, is still a very good price. I've been shooting this stuff in 16 and 20 for almost a year now. Decent ammo for a decent price. Anybody who thought that the $27.99 price wasn't an error of some type had to be delusional. The fact that they honored the error for as long as they did (for the early orders) speaks volumes to me.

I'm no fan of big boxes, but they do provide some nice options here and there, and...screw-ups are to be expected from time to time. For the folks that got a deal, good for you. The rest of you are being pretty unrealistic IMHO.

I don't think they "honored" anything, nor does it say anything about their integrity (but maybe lack thereof). They obviously just filled orders until somebody discovered the screw up.
