I certainly understand the law on it on the sales tax. I love the Cabelas store but the closest one to me is 5 hours away in Buda! So I do mostly online shopping. I do think their customer service and return policy is very good and reasonable/ fast. The prices do tend to be a touch higher which I did not mind so much.
I think the sales tax requirement is not fair to Cabelas. The orders I make are not shipped from Texas! So I buy from other online stores that I don’t have to pay sales tax on and sometimes get a slightly better price. I always check if there is a free shipping promotion or a $20 off for orders over 100 to make it close. If it is I will buy from Cabelas to help build my Cabelas Club Visa Points.
