Wait...

Do I read this to mean that you paid $100 for a pair of pliers that didn't function as advertised, yet when you returned them they only refunded you $50 because they already gave you $50 for the boots?

If so, I'd get my other $50 back. That's unacceptable.

That's my complaint ... yes, that they short changed me $50, not even $50 because they also gave me a store credit. I can use that in the future, and if they gave me the full $100 credit, I would have been slightly miffed, but I could have used it for other stuff that I actually need ...

... that is why I am getting my panties in a bunch, and the other mistake was that I mailed it back ... they are supposed to be calling me back today ... we will see how it goes, but yes, I will use the power of thousands of fishermen and more ... as making news is my business ...

Too late, but I took the suggestions from Raven and had a decent conversation ... they gave me partial refund and the store credit ... so it will work out ... I had already returned the pliers, so there's not much I could have done ... the other thing is that the person last night was not interested in helping ... apparently I called 15 minutes before closing ... so she was more interested in leaving than helping.

The two people I spoke with this morning were much more friendly and helpful ... took a long time, but it got resolved.

Generally speaking, unless you're really trying to screw them over...the consumer will always win in these situations as long as you don't quit. Especially with the bigger companies like Cabelas.

Thumbs up Thats GREAT ANDY BRAVO!

sometimes your Button gets pushed for all the wrong reasons...

so anybody out there have the best IDEA for cutting BRAIDED LINE?

and By the way ANDY, my wife spent many years working in PUBLIC SERVICE JOBS

now she deals with people internationally everyday

i have learned allot from her

and my DAD

He used to trade millions of dollars in BONDS every day
so he knew a thing or two about getting results

i used to LOVE watching him rattle their cages and go right to the top of the food chain
with his excellent technique and negotiating style.

MY favorite line of his was.... LET ME SPEAK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR ! get him or her on the phone.

he was a powerhouse... LOL
