Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Midway Stupidity Again

Went to Midway site to look for some bullets, no option (that I could find) to list product by manufacturer. Most popular, price, availability, etc were options but how many Dmn pages am I supposed to look thru? Final straw, haven't ordered from them for quite a while and doubt if I will ever go back to their site even for a look see. Why do manufacturers feel a need to take a working website and turn it into worthless trash? Their computer techs must be complete morons. Off to Grafs now, just had to rant.

I was always a defender of midway, but the $10 surcharge to Alaska despite the invention of flat rate boxes lost me.

It appears you were having a brain fart. The brand option is right there on the left side of the page, along with all of the other search criteria.

I read the OP, then went to Midways website,

I seached for 55gr Barnes, took 2 seconds.

I searched for H4350 powder, took 2 seconds.

I then searched for 165 gr Sierra, took 2 seconds.

That thing called the search box, try it once.

Likewise here, I've never had any problem with Midway's website. It's one of the easiest to navigate of the many I frequent.

If you want to see every bullet except the brand of bullets your looking for try Midsouth Shooters supply.

Didn't receive my order from Midway.
Emailed customer service - no response.
Emailed again - no response.
Called and they told me they had system shipped to a previous address and order was returned.
"But I entered both current shipping and current billing address on the new order"
"I know. We are re-shipping"
Then the shipment didn't arrive for 3 or 4 more weeks.

And there is the stocking fee if you return anything. That was a deal breaker for me. I haven't ordered anything from them in 10 years. Too many other companies to put up with that.

Generally, Midway gets things here pretty quickly (and we are one day farther away from anywhere else in the US). But, when they screw up, it does take some time to sort out. That said, I usually check them first when I am ordering components on line. Beats a 300-mile round trip to NW Tucson...

After their web upgrade the "search within results" was gone, after writing them I was answered with an email saying it was coming back. They said that a lot of folks asked for that option to return so they put it back.

My favorite is the "lead free" option which makes searching for lead free items so easy. To me MIDWAYUSA now is one of the easy sites to search.

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.

First world problems.....


Yawn....

Another 'fire simpleton...

midsouth is usually cheaper but they will sometimes burn you on the shipping.

I have bought quite a bit (for me) of ammo during the past year...most of it from Midway, with absolutely no problems...

I've always had good results/service from Midway...got a Timney 510 from them just last week...I find their site easy to navigate and their service exemplary.

What? Midway's site is one of the most easily navigated shopping experiences on the net! Really - it's the one site other's should emulate. It's slick, fast, reliable. Damm they stock like a billion items with a mix and variety that is not to be found elsewhere. Where else can you sort bullets by unit price? Flat Rate shipping options would be cool and I wish they were a couple thousand miles closer, mega cheaper, never out of anything etc... Shaking head...

Midway has always been easy to order for me. I like the free shipping, but just has to get hidden in the price to stay in business anyhow.
I do want to say that Midway donated 20,000 dollars to our college team three years ago. No strings attached, we could use the funds for anything. So we put the money in a fund that is supported by the university. So the team earns 5% interest on the fund, and there is always money to buy needed equipment. Team members raise funds by selling goods at football games etc, so the goal is to keep the fund above 20K. Anyway, it was a very nice payback to the shooting community. They also supported the local turkey foundation, so I have respect for Midway's vision.

Too funny, a lot of people jacking for joy with a 20% off code a few days ago and today bitch'n about finding bullets. Hell, Google Midway and the exact bullet and you can go straight to the page.

If you can't do a search on the Midway site, you can't do a google search either.
