How many of you have dealt with Midway and for how long? I've used them for over 20 years and have never had a problem. How many companies give you a discount on your birthday?

I've used them for about 18 years with complete satisfaction. A lot of people complain about their shipping costs and things being out of stock frequently but I haven't noticed a huge problem. Their sales are pretty good if what you want is on sale and their customer service has been good for me. Shipping is always quick too.

I have been very satisfied with Midway USA for a long time. I enjoy the discount they give you for having a C&R on file with them.

I have used them for many years and there service is very good. I can beat their prices most of the time on powder and primers, and bullets at other sites. They do have good sales from time to time and then their prices are very competative. The only thing I really don't like is I live in the same state they are in. I have to pay sales tax on internet purchases and this eats into any savings I might get.

I once made a multi-item purchase from them and had one of the items missing. I hate when that happens as it usually means that I am going to have to prove, beg and plead for a company to make good. Midway apologized, advised they dont know how that happened and shipped the item to me no questions asked.

Their website works great, when something is out of stock it is noted on the site.

Really like all the reviews of items as well.

I've used them for many many years and will continue to use them but I hate that $3.00 charge and there shipping charges are higher then some of the other vendors I deal with.

Where is the so called "birthday discount" ? I've been buying from Midway for years and I don't get ANY discount......

I recently placed my first order with them. No Problems. The shipping cost plus my items' cost was still cheaper than my local Gander Mt.

Did you list your birthday in your profile with them?

My birthday has been listed for years. I heard a roomer about a "birthday" deal some time ago from friends but was unable to find ANY info on the Miwday site. What "birthday discount" is one suppose to get and where is it listed on Midway's website?

Like you, I have used Midway for over 20 years. I still buy from them and have never had a problem. I appreciate the fact that they give the NRA quite a bit of money.

They are by far one of the best online companies around. They will go out of their way to make you happy. I buy lots of items from them except ammo. Their ammo prices seem a bit higher than others.
djh1765: The $3 charge is only for orders less than $25.Natchez tacks on $3.99 to every order.

I understand it's only for orders under $25.00 but I still don't like it.

I've even talked to the President Larry Potterfield of Midway USA and expressed my dislike for the charge. He indicated that he understood many buyers don't buy from them if their orders are going to be less then $25.00 because of the charge but he feels it is necessary.

I suggested instead of the $3.00 charge set a minimum order figure. He indicated they might look into that.

Woodsoup:

I appreciate you putting your e-mail on the board but what does that have to do with my statement.

It really has nothing to do with the $3.00 charge for purchases under $25.00 I don't think.

By the way !!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
