If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Sure, but they should be able to do something better than just telling me tough luck.

What, exactly, should they do? Be specific.

Yep, that's my point. A search for 7x57mm Mauser should have only offered 7x57 Mauser. If they only had three choices in that, then only three choices should have popped up.

It's on me, too, for not looking carefully enough, and seeing x57mm Mauser, and a low price, and clicking on it. I own that. But it's also the damned search function at fault. Particularly in the case of a product that cannot be returned if someone screws up.

PS I give them a pass for this because, generally, their service is great. I'm just blowing off steam here. Folks should still buy from Midway USA. Good company.

This past year I have bought a lot of things from Midway. So far my experience with them has been awesome.

That is how all search engines would have done it unless there is a way to search exact verbage only.

That's pretty much how searches work.

It ain't rocket science. If it was the OP'd know all about it.

It's called 'boolean logic'.

For the most part, ignored. Use a "+" or "-" and watch the scope creep on Amazon.

They should send me some 7mm-08 brass and 7mm 140 grain Ballistic Tips.

7mm was in the search after all.

Type in prostate massager in the Googler....scroll long enough and you will be offered a jar of applesauce.


Don't try to stick the jar of applesauce up your ass.


Properly review your order. That is your duty as online customer.

Dip the massager in the apple sauce before insertion?

I don't understand how putting the wrong stuff in your cart and not double checking it during the 34 step checkout process is Midway's fault.
