Default MidwayUSA

I wanted to let everyone know that Midwayusa.com is the place to get all you shooting needs.I have placed two orders off their web page and they ship quick.Most of the time they send out your goods the same day.Both times I used it I shipped usps ground which they say can take up too nine days to deliver but I got my stuff in 3 days for both orders.Their staff is very nice and are willing to help with anything.I had too change my order one time so I called in and they fixed it no questions asked.If you need to change your order do it fast because they ship fast.I just wanted to let you know that they are the best place to go for all your shooting needs.FIVE THUMBS WAY UP!

Years ago I did plenty of business with Midway.
When Potterfield took over they advertised they would begin to charge for shipping and it would be "actual" shipping charges. Several times I was charged about 50% more than actual shipping cost so I began to buy elsewhere.
I have found other great suppliers such as Sinclair International, Natchez , Bruno, and Gamaliel. OOPS I forgot MidSouth and Graf. There are others that do not come to mind.
My point is with the wonderful internet several companies have gotten quite competetive and the consumer wins!

How could you know that they over charged you when the price of shipping is not on the box?I ship a number of diffrent itms out every week and I think the prices are very fair if not cheep.

All you need is the weight and the internet (ups.com), no rocket science there!
Ups gives discounts from their listed prices also which Midway does not pass along to the customer.

I agree that their are other good places to buy you shooting goods on line.But I dont think you will find a place with so much slection as Midwayusa.I went onto the ups web page and Midway charge me $1.50 less than the web page told me.

I buy some stuff off them, but when they quit the no free shipping thing, they went the entirely different direction and started charging stupid handling charges. I think they quit that. But I like cabelas first. I get 100's of dollars of points every year. And usually the same price as midway.

Now, I tell ya a bunch I am impressed with is midsouth. Nicest folks ever to deal with.

I use to buy stuff form their flier's bargin pageevery month untill they started ther new shipping policy. Now if youspend under$25.00 you are charged $5.00. A friend of mine purchased 9 boxes of 7mm 160 gr. Partition Gold SPT Moly-Free on sale this month through Midway, and he paid $19.44 S&H. I think I will stick with Graf & Sons S&H is only $4.75 per order, and their prices are competive with Midway. I just purchased 6 boxes of Barnes .338 250 gr. XFB's for $173.94 and S&H was $12.75. through Cabelas; S&Hthrough Midway would have run me at least $19.00.Good luck.

I think you might work for midwayusa. LOL.

With that, I buy a few things from midway but love cabelas online. I bought a cabelas safe, outfitters series and paid $12.00 shipping and handlingto have that 600lb beast delivered to the door. CABELAS is the best. I hear they are coming to Washington near Olympia. Oh boy can't wait.

Put me down as another guy who looked elsewhere because of their shipping/handling charges. I was using Midway when their flier was a small newspaper and not a magazine but thier shipping policy change got me to looking elsewhere. I know shipping rates have gone up and don't expect it for free but last time I got a quote from them they were way to high. Use the internet, you will find the item cheaper and get it to your door for less as well.

I too use to buy the majority of my reloading supplies from Midway and the rest from Cabela's. In the past two years i've switched to buying mainly from Cabela's. They have great customer service, competitive prices,very good inventory, and nice color pics in their catalogsof everything! I like the buyers bonus points too!
I've never purchased from Grafs but i've heard nothing but positives about them. I recently recieved one of their catalogs and even though their prices look a tad higher than others it'sstill competitive and i'm sure their $4.75 shipping per order policy (which i really like) makes up for that. May give them a try in the future.
