Done with Midway USA

[Steve_In_29]

Never had an issue with Midway. Did my research before ordering (as I do with every vendor) and got exactly what I wanted.

I suspect there will eventually be some crow eaten as they are one of the biggest online vendors and usually have some of the best prices, especially when they offer sales and free shipping. And don't forget no sales tax on top of that.

I've never had problems with Midway, sorry your experience was different.

[shakyshoot]

Reasonable prices on almost anything for the shooting sports, shipping typically done the next day, and fair shipping costs (provided you know how to game their system a bit) Yep, no wonder everyone hates them.

Midway has been outstanding to me for years. Just like Amazon; don't order random stuff you're not sure of.

I just ordered from midway last week. It was supposed to arrive Tues 6/16. But, somehow they got it here on Sat 6/13 -- Another great experience.

OP---I am so sorry. I forgot that since you are an EMS you know everything. I forgot to bow down to you. I am sure your are so much brighter and better than us peons who only have two teaching credential, 3 degrees and many years of experience. You might add on Common Sense also since it was you whining and not us about something that was probably your and not midways fault.
If it is a defective part contact the manufacture.
Get a life and quit whining...As you can see most here do not want to hear it. Also your precious EMS status

All that over a 3 dollar brush? I've shopped Mway for over 20 years & have had a return issue, I get that part. I'm not willing to shut it down or COMPLAIN publicly over it. Take the privilege test on the off topic threads, let us know!

I'm sure midway could care less if they have your business.... For every lost customer, there are 5 new.

Pwned

[Bobby Ricigliano]

When ordering from any mail order place you need to know all the info before you order about the product. If you do not then the blame is on you. This is not what you wanted to here but is the way I have found it to be.
They cannot be expected to know everything about every product. The people taking the orders are often clueless about firearms/products. They are just office workers and not paid to be product experts.
You need to do YOUR homework before ordering. That could include product reviews, asking around to people you know or the internet and such.
If you are not willing to take the time to research the product then go to a local gun shop and pay the price they charge.

Sorry no sympathy here. The real world can be tuff. The test is given before the lesson

It seems like you are going out of your way to be jerk toward the OP. Last time I checked, people are allowed to post their opinions. If you "don't want to hear it", you could have just skipped this thread altogether instead of posting multiple lengthy responses to it.

I do however appreciate the irony when folks boast about their extensive educational background with grammar befitting a middle school remedial English class.

[antiseen]

I'm not done with them but they seem to charge obscene prices for shipping. Almost 10 bucks for a mag pouch that can't weigh very much or take up a ton of packaging.

[Bobby Ricigliano]

For the record, I don't like Midway either. Brownells is a much better choice.

[bridgeport]

Tacit, Have you given them a call and a chance to make things right? I have been buying from Midway for years and only had a couple of minor problems, both of which were corrected by Midway via overnight shipping me a replacement (or correct) item. Also let me note that both times, Midway simply told me to keep the incorrect item, rather than ship it back to them. Bottom line..... Midway is the 800 pound gorilla.... better to work with them, than against them.

With Regards, Bridgeport

MidSouth shooters Supply.
Usually cheaper price wise and on shipping.

I think Midway has lost its take care of the customer mindset I still use them. Mostly for price comparison.

[Mayor McRifle]

Midway USA has failed me as a customer.

It seems to me that you failed yourself as a consumer. Do adequate research on the products you buy over the internet sight unseen, and you'll be much better off.

What is with the fad of people "announcing" that they are done or never stepping foot into an establishment? This is like the Calguns version of tweeting selfies, a way to get attention? Is not shopping there anymore too discreet, it must be announced? Whatever, don't care. I've shopped there for almost 10 years and never had a problem.

I agree 100%.

What are you, the Grammer Nazi? DivernHunter makes a good point, the OP posted a negative review that was completely without merit about probably the most prolific gun website on the Internet. When he got called out for it, he lashed back, essentially doubling down that he is right because he has "real work experience". I'm a paramedic as well, but you don't see me pulling that out and slapping you in the face with it to justify my own stupidity
