Cabelas Cancelling S&W OEM 25 Round Mag Orders

[Buckskinner]

Cabelas called and cancelled my 3 pack order, but shipped my 2 singles to their store for pick-up. I may let them go back into stock, as I don't think I will be able to pick them up on time. I have plenty anyway, so no big deal.

Target has also cancelled back orders. Usually when BO's are cancelled it means there is a redesign in the works for a part.

I called S&W and was told that they were unaware of anything like that letter going out to any retailer. I was told that they were filling backorders and even had some 10 Round longs in stock. I was able to place an order for the 25 Round and 10 Round shorts and get in line for now. I checked my Cabelas account info and they have changed my order status from Pending to Cancelled. SMH

Update: I received a package notification and based on the charge to my credit card S&W shipped 4 factory 25 Round magazines Friday - Just 9 days after placing the order. Total cost was $22 each including shipping.

Cabela's Backorders
FAQ from their site cold be the reason

Cancelled Backorders

Why was my backorder cancelled?


Due to dramatic changes in market conditions, Cabela's has cancelled backorders for certain high-demand products. As always, it is our goal to deliver the same top-quality products and high level service you have come to expect from Cabela's. However, we believe it's better to cancel backorders than to present unrealistic expectations to our valued customers.

But don't know why they would give that excuse.

Funny since they are in stock at Cabelas right now. That place can be weird sometimes.

My 3 pack ordered 01/09 arrived yesterday. Wondering if those that got their orders cancelled missed one of the order update emails and that was the reason for the cancellation. It is pretty clear that Cabela's did not have some devious plot to increase prices etc. given that they are in stock today for the same price as they were in January... I'm sure glad they shipped the orders and glad you can get some today for the regular price if you live in a free state... and by the way...

thanks to those who have given all to protect our Freedom and God Bless America and our troops far and wide!

Cabela's shipped my 3 pack that I ordered in December 2 weeks ago....I still haven't received them thanks to the water heads at my local post office but thats a long story. Hopefully they don't just cancel my order if the USPS returns them to Cabela's.

Yeah. Now they have the 3 Packs and singles in stock.
