      July 1st, 2022 I ordered a couple pair of boots of the Bass Pro website. I ordered and paid the sale price listed on the website. I didn’t use coupon codes or any other type of discounts. I paid the listed price. Immediately I received a email confirmation that my order was place and being processed. The follow week July 8th the day that my boots was supposed to be delivered I received a second email stating that my boot order had been canceled due to an error. I started a chat conversation with the BassPro help desk and received no help. I am very disappointed how the order can be canceled without notice a week later. Bass Pro advertised a price on the website and then as consumer I paid the listed price. I feel like that that price should be honored. Not very good customer service from a multi billion dollar company
