Done with Midwayusa

[dsdmmat]

I have been a midwayusa customer since before the Internet. This week I told their customer service guy that they have permanently lost a customer.

Back story:

I put some ammo in my cart and tried to check out, they require an FFL to ship, ok no problem I have my gun dealer send me her FFL and put down her address to ship the ammo to the store. I also had a couple of things in the cart as well, a bolt and holster. It is processing for a week then it disappears. I email them and ask WTF over. Customer services says they canceled the order because it was not my FFL and they cannot have an FFL that is not mine associated with the account. I email them back and tell them that she has agreed to accept the ammo and the other stuff for me. Didn't matter to them they said the FFL can make the order and that is the only way it was going to be shipped. I told them well you lost me as a customer forever.

I went to another ammo provider on the Internet and ordered it for the same price plus free shipping. A different vender for the bolt and holster and deleted the short cut for midway from my computer.

Screw them

Good for you. I personally only order ammo from companies that will ship directly to my house as it is not illegal to do so. Only idiot companies are enforcing this anti-gun policy that is absolutely not a law.

 

[Jezman]

I dropped them years ago over magizne for a pistol. My experience is 40% of what they show is in stock. Was never impressed with there customer service.

 

[Darth]

Dropped them like a hideous infant when they actually charged FFL holders MORE, instead of giving them a discount.

Yes,a few years ago if you had an FFL on file with them, I did, but you didn't order some ridiculous amount, they actually CHARGED YOU a dealer fee.

What took you so long? I stopped with them ages ago because of their BS.

Well this was the first time I have tried to order ammo on my own not through my dealer. I talked to her about the ammo before I ordered it through another source. She told me she couldn't get it through her distributors so don't feel bad about ordering it from someone else. I normally go to her or BG for anything I am looking at.

I normally don't order ammo online. This was my first attempt.

Fuckthem they talk the talk but don't walk the walk

Order from a place that ships to your house.

Same with Cheaper Than Dirt

 

[oc shooter]

Don't know. never had a problem with them but then again never ordered ammo from them. seemed better than cheaper than dirt and cheaper than brownells.

I have never had issues with them before either. Spent a lot of money with them but, not even shipping ammo to an FFL ol Larry's policies just cost him a life long customer.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

I had one order with them. It was my last.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

People ask if i will accept ammo shipments.

I say yes. I do it for free but will, under no circumstances deal with or accept from midway usa.

It is free only if all i have to do is e mail my ffl.

If i have to deal with any dumb fucking cunts then the price goes up dramatically. Midway are the biggest dumb cunts in the industry!

I had one order with PSA and it’s my last. I had an issue and questions about a new gunnlooking pretty used. They refused to even acknowledge or answer my questions. I pressed them on it and they said they didn’t know rugers test fire policy. I told them what too hard to make a phone call or open a few boxes to see how the other guns look in stock. I guess that was too smart for them and they never responded. I posted a negative review of them and they censored it and deleted it.

Too bad about midway they donated a bunch of shooting mats to my kids shooting league.

Recently I was able convince a vendor to deliver to me directly. When initially they asked for an ffl I explained: "Your policy is outdated, NYS regulations now allow delivery directly to retail purchaser, even Buds guns delivers direct, please update your policy."

I couldn't believe it worked - that is until the package arrived.

Best thing is to leave bad feedback over at ar15.com under their (psa) industry partner section. Works wonders.

 

[libertysnake]

They always ship slow as shit. I've had multiple things be "processing" for a while.

Unless I have no choice, I look at other places. I get a lot of my ammo at LuckyGunner, tbh. They still require an FFL, but they give no bullshit beyond that, and their prices are good on 7.62x39

One tends to get there pretty quick if one says something uncouth about a site sponsor.

Just tell the truth. They respond very quickly.

midway won't even ship a Black Powder rifle to NY Period .. screw them

Have you seen Larry Potterfield? He looks half retarded.

 

[Acer-m14]

yes .. i watch some of his videos on gun repairs .. looks can be deceiving ... LOL ..

 

[togmaster]

Watch one of his videos on how to build something and he will tell you about all the tools you need to buy for the project.

 

[Cooolone]

Just screw any vendor not willing to go through the simple exercise of reading NY laws to understand what is "legal" to do...

If they are too lazy, then I'll keep my hard earned $ and give it to someone who has, and also understands the NY market. Those vendors who err on the side of caution can go fuck themselves! It's that simple!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Nice. Like I said in another thread, I hold grudges. Dick's, Cheaper than Dirt, ScotteVest (whatever) etc. They will never get another penny of my business.

 

[Prudii]

I dropped midway after it took them two weeks to ship a pair of gloves. That is two weeks after they charged my CC.

What other places are there to get a reasonable selection of mil surp stuff online?

 

[tony]

How do these places stay in business??? Must be a good mark-up...

 

[dsdmmat]

Just got an email, my order has shipped, now all I need is a 224 Valkyrie barrel and I will be good!

Big companies are scared of lawsuits and over-comply. Smaller companies are more accommodating. Shotgun News was a good source of mail order businesses, I am not even sure this newspaper is still in circulation. Everything is through the web now. If smaller companies are driven out of business we are screwed.
