This winter Midway seemed to be offering free shipping every other week, but haven’t seen it for a while. Here on the West Slope Midway can often ship to my door faster than Amazon………go figure.

It seemed like once the Christmas rush started, free shipping went away.

FWIW, a buddy ordered some ammo cans from them a while back and was told the free shipping didn’t apply to them.

Those promos are out the window. New motto is price gouging, terrible customer service, and slower shipping. Like said above, they have to fund their new mega warehouse and order system.

The new guy might just run this company into the ground. They still say it's a "family business". So, they promoted someone just cause they were family, is what that means.

Their prices are getting absurd. They could easily offer free shipping over $49 at all times, with the way they jacked up prices.

I placed an order through another company a few weeks ago. Even with shipping, it was less than Midway would have been with no shipping added. I have absolutely no loyalty to them any longer. They are now just one of many I will look at and compare inventory and prices.

I just pulled up a random in stock item on Midway's site now, before they even open for the day. It says if ordered today, it would ship on 4/4. Last year, and early this year, they would complete an order within a few hours, so they can't use order volume as the excuse.

KenMi-

I used to be a loyal Midway customer but that changed a few years ago. My main gripe is how they'd pack items. They'd just throw things in a box with a couple of air pillows and send them on. In December, I got the kids Hoppe's #9 as stocking stuffers along with a few other items. The bottles were loose (not in any packaging),and one of the lids busted open. You can imagine the mess -- and smell. Earlier in 2021, I ordered bullets that were on sale. The bullet boxes were not secured, the outer box only had a couple of pieces of tape to hold it together -- and the results were predictable. Another time the outer box was taped securely, but there was virtually no packing material for a number of heavy boxes of bullets. A couple of Speer 6.5mm 120 Gold Dot boxes broke open,and I had another Midway mess to deal with.

Granted, they took care of things, but the hassle gets old in a hurry. They are no longer the first place I look when I need anything.

I put those "free shipping on these dies" in my cart, they said over $49, so I added another Item to get over the $49. Still no free shipping. I talked to a person and they said no free shipping on other items, only free shipping on the dies over $49 which were under the $49. So only certain items can be shipped free. I deleted everything.

LOL. Not sure why, but that made me think of "there's no fighting in the war room!"

Business must have slowed due to their price gouging, worsening customer service, and slow shipping. Now they need to entice buyers with free shipping again.

free over $49 today 4/15


They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I just bought bullets and brass with no shipping cost.Just about any optics or mounts and rings are free shipping at Midway.If you check their site every day ,sometimes you get free shipping if you spend $49 or more pops up.I always hold off until one of those days comes along.Bobby,that shipping price is horrible .

My experience with Midway has only ever been good other than the high shipping cost. I’ve never noticed severe price gouging like I have at CTD. I do expect to pay retail on most things…
