The favorite spot of all American hunters, fishermen, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Cabela's store was founded in 1961. Richard Cabela bought $45 worth of fishing flies in Chicago and decided to try selling them by placing an ad in the local newspaper. Only one person responded, so Cabela then ran an ad in a national magazine for active people, Sports Afield, through which he sold the remaining batch. With every order he shipped, he included a postcard listing other products available at Cabelas, his little shop.
Eventually, Cabelas began selling hunting clothing and various fishing gear across the US, and over more than 50 years grew into the most successful company in its industry. Today, the Cabelas retail chain and online store in the US generate $3 billion in sales per year, making it one of the largest and most successful retailers in the world.
Assortment of the official Cabelas website
The store specializes in goods for outdoor activities, sports, and tourism. Here you can get US-made clothing for fishing and hunting, as well as quality spinning rods from America. Tourist equipment, flasks, fishing rods, flashlights, tents, tackle, boots, mosquito protection, fish bait, and various technological devices that help make outdoor recreation more comfortable are sold here.
In addition to these and many other goods for men, the official Cabelas website in the USA also sells women's and children's clothing – which is not afraid of either dirt or rain. This is mainly sportswear and outerwear, as well as gloves, raincoats, and various practical items. You won't find handbags, high-heeled shoes, and evening outfits here. Many ladies buy their winter and autumn shoes and clothing here thanks to favorable prices for the products, especially during the discount period. From Russia – even more so: buying Cabelas products such as Columbia and The North Face will be many times cheaper than in domestic online stores. Not to mention a wider assortment of goods.
Sections of the official Cabelas website:
everything for hunting (GPS, tools, knives, even duck, goose and turkey calls);
weapons (from pistols to rifles, but we do not deliver such to Russia);
everything for fishing (US-made spinning rods, tackle, fishing rods, fishing line, bait, nets, etc.);
everything for rafting and boats (kayaks, canoes, motors, oars, sonars, underwater cameras, boat oil, and so on);
everything for camping (tents, folding chairs and tables, sleeping bags, water bottles, batteries, backpacks, portable toilets and showers, grill, hammocks…);
for cars (electronics, GPS, cameras, various accessories);
clothing (for rainy weather, for snow, for fishing, as well as, of course, hunting clothing from America, with separate sections for children and for women);
footwear (hunting, mountains, winter, several hundred options for reliable and comfortable boots for spring and summer);
for home and forest cabin (lamps, bed linen, furniture, decorative items, watches, unbreakable dishes, speakers and radio, inexpensive kitchen appliances);
everything for hobbies (games and toys, children's bicycles, drones, cameras, headphones, snowshoes, airsoft guns).
All this (except for batteries, weapons and other goods that we do not accept) you can buy at prices much lower than Russian ones. And send to the Pochtoy.com warehouse – free for any orders totaling from $50.
Delivery of purchases from Cabelas to Russia
Cabelas has international shipping. Parcels from there can go directly to Russia or CIS countries. The exception – again, for weapons, any items prohibited for export outside the States, and goods that don't meet customs size limits. Also, the store does not ship abroad clothing and shoes of certain brands (Levi's, Carhartt, Wrangler), which protect their representative offices abroad. If the product is not shipped abroad, this will be indicated on the product page in the Notes and Restrictions section.
But even if the product is not prohibited for shipping, the cost of direct delivery from Cabelas will be very high. For Russia, their most «advantageous» method is International Standard Air (by air). The cost of such delivery is 45% of the order amount (but not less than $40). The cost of one parcel cannot exceed $250 per week (including delivery price). So if you're buying something more expensive than a pack of buckwheat, it's simply not worth it. One advantage of direct shipping from Cabelas is that you can send something heavy and bulky, since there is no direct dependence on weight and dimensions here.
But overall, even regular hunting shoes or clothing from the USA directly from Cabelas is not worth shipping. It will be much cheaper to use the services of Prostobox.com. First, you send your parcel to either of our two warehouses in the USA (shipping from Cabelas will cost $0), and then ship it to Russia using one of our tariffs. It ends up several times cheaper, plus you can combine several purchases, even from different online stores, to further reduce shipping costs.
