Well I normally or I guess problem never have commented on a business experience that was poor.
I purchased a Stevens 555E from Bismarck Scheels less than a week ago. I asked for a price match to Fleetfarm in Bismarck who had them for 129 dollars cheaper. They were fairly good about the situation and stated they could not match the price because I purchased a 16 gauge and Fleetfarm did not offer the sale price on the 16 gauge only the 12, 20 and 410.
I thought that was petty but decided to purchase the gun anyway. Scheels was still 10 dollars higher. I brought it to the attention of the manager that was double checking the paperwork and he turned red but said nothing! So I let it go.
Today I went back to the Bismarck Scheels to purchase a Mossberg 500 410. Sportsman Warehouse in Williston had them for 30 bucks less. I asked for the price match. I was told they have to add in FFL fee and shipping so it would be way more than 30 dollars cheaper difference. I was making a trip to Williston on Monday for other reasons so there would have been no shipping or FFL fee. I drove to Fleetfarm and bought one there for the same price.
I admit I got upset but the smart butt salesman at Scheels sarcastically said “ hope you have a nice day”.
Now the 30 bucks and 10 bucks on the two guns is not the point. It’s the principle.
Not boasting but I have purchased many I mean many, firearms from Scheels over the last several years not to mention fishing equipment, shoes, bbq grills and other sporting equipment.
Well they lost a customer maybe one of their best customers.
Scheels Bismarck has been my go to store for many years. No more.
