Seems with the merger with Bass Pro, Cabelas now charges applicable sales tax on items shipped to NJ.  This in addition to a general noticing of higher prices this holiday season.  Just letting you know!

At least they still ship ammo to NJ. Bass Pro didn’t last time I checked... :(

Why buy ammo from Cabelas when there are so many better alternatives?  Don't get me wrong, I like Cabelas and order certain things from them, but not ammo.

Because sometimes it's the cheapest.

Using their $20 off coupon in addition to a sale in addition to purchased discounted gift cards I was able to get a dozen flats of remington 12ga gunclub shells for $38/flat (250 shells) delivered to my door

If there's a better price than that please tell me where!

I purchase the majority of my ammo from Cabela's. 

With the combination of their sale prices, free shipping coupons, 10% discount gift cards purchased via ebay and the rebates via activejunky.com I'm usually realizing a 20%-40% discount on ammo shipped price versus other online retailers.

Plus they do a great job on packing, unlike other places where I've received the outer box split open with individual ammo boxes just about ready to fall out.

Amazon charged me sales tax on a case I ordered last night. I was surprised to say the least when I clicked buy at x price, then looked back and saw a few dollar increase when I checked out. I haven't noticed this before.  Seems a few more places are doing this as well, not just cabelas.

My last purchases were relatively small so this may have been why I've never noticed.  Not that the case was expensive, but I did notice the few dollar increase in price after checkout. 

 

I may have to start ordering ammo from cabelas given the discounts that are offered. 25$ for 50rd box of .45 is adding up!

Amazon LLC has "tax  nexus" in NJ due to the warehouses it built there. They've been there for quite some time. So it has to charge sales tax for any orders shipped to NJ addresses.  Same thing in Florida. It's why, probably, Amazon got all kinds of incentives by the state govts. for building the warehouses in those states.  Thus, anything sold by Amazon LLC itself will incur sales tax if shipped to a state where it has tax nexus.  If the item is sold by a partner (but "fulfilled by Amazon") and that partner does not have tax nexus in the state to which the merchandise is being shipped, then it might not incur sales tax, or if it's a full 3rd party merchant, etc. that doesn't have tax nexus in NJ.

As for Cabelas, could it be that they also built some facility in NJ that would give it tax nexus, or perhaps the merger has completed enough that there is only one corporate entity with merged assets that would also give tax nexus to Cabelas?  To be honest, I was wondering where this merger stood, as I'd figure that Bass Pro would, eventually, consume the Cabela's brand and make them all Bass Pro, and that hasn't seemed to have happened.... not yet.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
