Has anyone bought equipment over the internet from Cabelas in the US? I so was it a trouble free transaction and were there any problems with customs & delivery? atb Tim
Agree with the above. I don't often shop there, but was very impressed with paying the Duty up front the last time I shopped there. Have shopped there since '99 with an order every two years or so. No issues so far. Regards JCSI have bought a fair few things from them over the past few years and have found them excellent to deal with. Shipping charges usually equate to the price in dollars that you see. Delivery is quick, tracked and as with the last item; duty can be paid straight away instead of when it arrives in the UK.

Does paying duty up front save you the outrageous Parcelforce handling charge one used to have to pay on receipt?
Yeah, i was wondering that and i was also wondering how cabelas go about calculating and charging you import duty, tax and then paying UK customs on your behalf? seems to good to be true to me Ian.
It worked for me the last time I placed an order. One payment at the point of ordering on Cabelas. No Parcel Force fee or additional charges. Regards JCS
I think you were just lucky not to have had your parcel intercepted by UK customs.
I just had a look at cabelas international shipping policy and it clearly states that all duties and taxes are the responsibility of the recipient.

I don't know how you can say that when you don't have the benefit of reading my e-mail archive. I have reread my order confirmation for the order I placed on Cabelas and I was charged for duty and Vat at point of despatch in the US as per the terms & conditions applied by Cabelas at that time. No doubt new Terms and Conditions will apply to the next order that I place. However, I have been dealing successfully with Cabelas since June 1999 and plan to continue to do so.
