Has anyone experienced anything like this before?!
Obviously Cabela's doesn't claim to sell used firearms (unless obviously used surplus SKS, etc) and with their all firearm sales as final policy I feel they will pass it off to Mossberg.
I agree Rob...Yo be clear you ordered it at the end of March and it has just arrived ?
Why frett about the "what if" unless you have heard from them first.
Why post and pout before speaking with the retailer ??
Plus, the added bonus is most cc have a purchase protection plan in place.
Call the retailer and then call you cc compnay and get that ball rolling and if all else fails the....
Send it back....

There are way more important issues to contend with at the moment, when will I be able to go hunting, when will my next paycheck arrive, when will the CERB be deposited in my account.
A new tool that one just bought is defective is pretty low on the list of priorities.
Sorry for the piss poor attitude I have posted this morning, but 400 folks from my shop got the axe and they still have mouths to feed and bills to pay too.

Why post on a thread that you don't want to read?
People have to stop making threads before the situation is resolved
FLHTCUI - let me take a minute to unpack your comment...
Yes I purchased it March 25 to be exact. Canada Post is swamped and it took roughly two weeks for it to make it to me. Hence why this issue is being addressed now.
I fret about the "what if" because Cabela's has a staunch "ALL FIREARM SALES ARE FINAL" policy. What that means is you cannot return a firearm, which I would assume includes a situation like mine. Had I known about the condition of this firearm, I would've never purchased it.
I posted this before hearing from the retailer since this is unacceptable and in hopes I could find others that have experienced this and know how it was resolved. Considering they claim it was checked on April 1st 2020 before being shipped, there is no way that firearm should've left their possession in that shape. Cabela's formed a contract with me when I purchased a shotgun from their website. They set an expectation that I would receive a brand new Mossberg 935 Pro Series Waterfowl shotgun. As you and many others have concluded, I did not receive what I paid for, and therefore have every right to take action.
In regards to the rest of your post and our global situation, your assessment of your piss poor attitude is right on. I am oh so sorry for posting a gun related situation on a gun-centric forum. Maybe next time I should think twice about how ill-relevant my topic is to the current audience that actively engage... give your head a shake. We are all stuck in this situation, and we all know people facing hardships. Don't get butthurt at me posting a thread, I nor this thread started this pandemic.
I could totally understand your point if I was taking valuable resources away from others who truly need it but we are talking about call centre reps that work for Cabela's.
Thanks for coming out though
Well this is totally unexpected...
I purchased a Mossberg 935 Pro Series Waterfowl at the end of March from Cabela's. Today when I opened up the box, this is what I was greeted with.

Didn't expect to receive this. Reached out to Mossberg & Cabela's to see what's going to happen.
