Done business on a regular basis since 1995.
Finished with them!
Larry Potterfield wants to become a billionaire over night!

Midway USA has increased their prices like crazy.

$60.00 for a box of 6.5 PRC.

Graf and sons still lists them for 38.00. Midsouth Shooter supply 40.00 None in stock BTW.

I do not care because other that 22 LR and 17 HMR I do not do factory.

I am done with midway USA.

Good, more for the rest of us!

At least you didn't have to deal with their Customer Support Department (?) recruited at the local high school.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

What makes you think those other places will have those same prices when they do get some ammo in?

That's a fact.

Lotsa Karens in Midway's "Customer Support".


Lol.

I agree midwayusa is jumping up prices more than other places I've seen. I simply don't buy if it's more than I want to spend. I'm not sure I would totally write them off? There is supply and demand but I am also seeing Greed take hold of some.

He’s an idiot.

Blaming the retailer first is typical of those that have no clue.

We will see but no one has any ammo in and Midway added 20 bux a box. We will see.

I’m paying more for some dies I want than what they were originally priced at. Midway was out but I used the notify me option. I don’t expect the price to be that cheap again for a while so if I want the dies I get them.

Sometimes when items are out of stock with no back order price increases aren’t updated.

Could be that when those other sellers do have particular items in inventory they’ll also increase prices.

Even if that isn’t the case, I shop all over the web and will always check MWUSA as one possible place from whom to buy. If they’re competitive they’ll get my business and if not they won’t no matter whether they’re gouging on other products or not.

Just my $.02 for a good guy wink

Midway typically has more ammo in stock than other retailers based on what Ive seen. And the CS and shipping is pretty good based on my experiences. I just ordered a bunch of 223, 6.5 and 300 win mag bullets and the box arrived broken with 3 boxes missing. I called and they shipped 3 replacement boxes right away.
