I was always a defender of midway, but the $10 surcharge to Alaska despite the invention of flat rate boxes lost me.
A couple of weeks ago I tried to buy a riflescope from Midway on the telephone, because I got a flag that the scope had a DOT shipping to Alaska. The scope has a Lithium battery, so supposedly it could not be shipped here. I ordered it online from one of the vendors in this forum, and three days later I had the scope delivered to my house, shipment free of charge from NY.
