Ammo Finds - Post them here

[aghauler]

No it doesnt make sense at times.
Its a massive system.
Miracle that it runs as smooth as it does.
I had Blazers sit on BO for almost 3 weeks while other Blazers ordered after that were arriving at my door daily.
I don tthink its the shipping deptartment.
They will ship the orders that print out for that day/shift.
Its the electronic system that generates the shipping orders that holds up the show.

What I don't "get" is why they cancelled my last 3 Blazer orders from the past 4-5 weeks, all placed on different days, all confirmed instock, with order confirmation. Then repost same item instock on their website and ship to new orders instead of filling backorders. None of the orders were placed through any "backdoor" routes just happened across the links when they were still instock. Heck I've got one item on BO until July 2014! Just don't understand why they don't let things go to BO status for 30-60 days before cancelling the order.

I emailed Cabelas and they just said the warehouse ran out of stock (even though stock was confirmed) before my orders were shipped so order was cancelled. No explanation as to why they weren't placed on BO status to be filled with the next shipment, they DO know what has been ordered from the manufacturers and what maybe inbound.

Ok so my dry box of wmr from yesterday is now marked shipped fingers crossed the minimags ship. Still listed as backordered

Do you have a long history of filled orders with them? I have 4 orders of stand-alone Blazers en route and 5 bricks en route from orders they substituted Blazers for discontinued items. That's would be 9 bricks with tracking numbers. When they called me last week to see if I wanted the 5 bricks substituted for discontinued items from my GLITCH order, the cust service rep gave me the impression they were pretty flush with Blazers. Lots of people got items substituted with Blazers last week. I have 40+ orders filed this year from Cabelas. I'm sure there are others here with a lot more. Knock-on-wood, I haven't had Cabelas cancel any order of mine in 2014 and they've been decent about fulfilling backorders. My guess is the concierge service gets extended to higher volume customers.

Only started ordering in Feb so order Hx is maybe 10-15 with 4 cancellations.
I would certainly have ordered more if possible, but timing was such I missed the various links when posted before going out of stock.....except the 3 bricks of Blazers I ordered that were cancelled, those links were active and in stock when the orders were placed.

7:45 Eastern, I got a call from Cabelas. As a lot of you guys have read here, Cabelas has been calling the guys who have CCI Tacticals and Swamp People on backorder and have been asked to substitute with Blazer.

I thought this was only on the orders with the now obsolete 375 boxes. Customer service informed me I have 4 boxes of Swamp People, 300 round boxes, the new ones, on BO. She said Cabelas has no idea when they will be getting them in, and would I like Blazers instead. I told her yes, but I also told her the count is incorrect. She told me the order numbers, but I told her she missed one. It was my one and only "glitch" order. Yes, she said, we will include that one also.

I'm not crazy about this but I think this an all or nothing situation. So I agreed. Now that I think about it, I wish I would have made the suggestion to substitute the 36 gr. 500 round box instead.

Well, I might have that opportunity, as I have a bunch of the 300 round Tacticals on backorder. I hope they get them as I really don't want the Blazers. They have always been one of the cheaper rounds from CCI. It was too long ago that you could pick up a brick of Blazers for $17-$18.

For you newbies, this is a new policy. For the three years I've been buying ammo from them they have never done this. It appears to me as they want to get the glitches and the backorders from their quantity mistake off the books. At least they didn't cancel the items outright.

If anyone can figure out a reason for what happened to you then they are a better man than I am. I've had stuff cancelled that I never thought would be, and I've had orders shipped that I was certain they would cancel. I don't know if they have software algorithms at work or some kind of rules their personnel follow, but I haven't been able to figure out any pattern.

I have 2 boxes of Blazers from the glitch order still showing "in stock" that haven't shipped from 2 weeks ago and yet three boxes that were ordered since then that have shipped, go figure.

I wonder why they don't offer to sub the Choot'ems on BO until July for Blazers now?

Oh well, I'll be at Cabela's Reno tomorrow to scope out the C&R's, no hopes for any ammo there though.

Woo-hoo. Mini mags shipped

22 orders for 34 .22 ammo items in 2014.
1 cancellation on a brick of Blazer on 2/18.
The brick of Feds I ordered with it shipped for $2.30
I can live with that.
My only regret is not glitching harder before the links died.
Only 2 items left on BO and then......
Only thing I've grabbed since Black Friday is the CCI's yesterday for a coworker, to pricey for me.
Missed all the cheaper stuff while actually working at work and not paying attention here while at home.
Don't really need any more ammo but still starting to get the shakes

[cwilliams]

I ordered a couple boxes of 7mm Mauser about two days ago and threw in a single 50 round box of that CCI SV .22 and my order is still sitting in processing. The last two bricks I've ordered of Blazers were out the door within a day. Weird.

Woo-hoo. Mini mags shipped

Same here

Is this from yesterday , were they showing backorder at any point and how many did each of you guys order ?

[BinaryBoris]

Maybe after so much backdoor action they don't have good outlet control...

On a serious note, I'm starting to get shipping confirmation e-mails from Gander Mountain's Ammopolooza last Friday morning (3/28).
