......some places fail to heed the need for quality IT people; even old guys who may not understand what to do should understand that they need to get it done. Many or most of Midway's growing pains/customer issues could be avoided with better tech support - and less defensiveness about same.

Batteries, have a "haz-mat" charge.
It shows you this when you are checking out with online purchase.

I've ordered several items from Midway recently and everything over $25 has been free shipping.

Potterfield should take a long, hard look at his web site and capability. I ordered two simple things n batteries and a magazine for my wife's pistol. Three days later I get an e-mail telling me that the magazine is out of stock but will be available in a week or so BUT at 8% higher cost. The batteries also increased in cost - almost 100%. I swallowed hard and re-entered all of my information twenty minutes ago. The order is still sitting there, as am I. In another two minutes the order will be cancelled and I will leave Midway USA, never to return.
This is VERY LOUSY business practice. I have been forced to scratch another company from my good guy list. What a shame.

Midway has been good to me so far. I haven't paid shipping with them in a couple of years. I just keep an ongoing list and order what I can afford when they have free shipping and or special sales.
I recently bought a RCBS kit from Midway. After their sale, free shipping and RCBS rebate, it was $250 to my door. This vs. $396 after tax at the closest Bass Pro.
I'll put that savings towards my next uber killing machine instead of a crush Potterfield campaign.

Midway has been great to deal with, for me.
Free shipping on most orders. Sends me email telling me about specials sale items.
Larry just sent me an e-mail telling me my order is on the truck. (9/20/14)
Larry is good people.

I don't even check e-mail, it's just crap! Midway finally sent me a monthly flyer, but were sold out of what I wanted. Point being, some of us old pharts like seeing the catalogues!
I admit to only looking at the pictures!!

Mark,
Does Midway even have a monthly flier anymore?
Back when I used to get one, damn everything I ordered ended up "out of stock". I finally gave up on them completely.

I was buying every week, ~$2k/year, in the 1990s from Midway.
Midway had people answering the phone that knew nothing of guns nor ammo.
Then Harry Potter went on vacation in Africa with vintage Winchesters while his minions implemented the new charge for shipping.
I decided to kick the Midway habit.
I have bought mail order from over 100 gun websites and phone numbers in Shotgun News, and they are almost all good.
Then ~ 2005 I started buying from Midway again, 10% of my purchases. I was impressed that they really turned the place around and it was good.
Then Potterfield started making videos about how to do gunsmithing. That is what I do. He is just like me. He loves guns.
Now I really like him. I am buying ~ 25% of my reloading stuff through Midway now.
