MidwayUSA this season is horrible!
Usually, I do not have a lot of issues with MidwayUSA. However, Last Monday, I placed an order and a week later the order did not ship.
I sent an email last wednesday and I got a response today stating they are sorry they hope it would ship today. It did not.
MidwayUSA get your act together or you will lose a repeat customer for a long time.

I think I got lucky. I bought 3 mags and a stock during Black Friday and got them all within a week.

Re: MidwayUSA this season is horrible!
There appears to be massive panic buying going on right now. Don't know if Midway may have some internal issue compounding that, postal system also already seeing holiday traffic surge. I would cut them some slack.Beiruty wrote:Usually, I do not have a lot of issues with MidwayUSA. However, Last Monday, I placed an order and a week later the order did not ship.

Panic buying/Christmas season.
Patience is required, but I understand the frustration.

I worked in the Midway shipping department once, many years ago (pre-ecommerce), and can tell you that the seasonal crush is insane. Add real world events, and the political cycle of late, I can only imagine what their hourly output is like this December.

Here we go. The promo item a Cleaning kit with 3 bore-snake retail was $80 sales is $20. Is no more available. My order was on hold. Now they would issue a refund for the promo item and try to ship my order.

I ordered a couple of things from Midway on Saturday. UPS will be delivering today. That's pretty quick turnaround in my book.

I ordered some mags last week. Got them yesterday via the USPS. Only took one day longer than some steel targets I ordered from Amazon.

Re: MidwayUSA this season is horrible!
I got two mags and a pouch about a week ago -- everything got here in about a week from order to drop off. Patience is a virtue
