Midway to me for many years has been like doing your grocery shopping at the 7/11. I can always find things elsewhere cheaper delivered with little effort than Midway.

I've had just the opposite experience from Midway. They confirm an order, notify when it's shipped, and give a tracking number and expected date of delivery. More times than not the package shows up 2 or 3 days before the anticipated delivery date. That is not to say that the occasional package hasn't gone astray; but not from just Midway, but others as well, and that's the Post Office's fault. Midway just moved and is reorganizing their shipping. I expect improved service from them in the future, but not the Post Office!

I just checked; my package is setting in a P.O. ~85 miles from me AND has been for the last 3 days. MidwayUSA uses this type of "free" shipping so they stay in the ballpark with other online retailers. Yeah, it gets out of Midway's hands usually fairly quickly, but they KNOW its going to bottleneck down the road. The old "it's not Midway's fault" is a false narrative, they KNOW this will happen and they still allow it. I have never experienced this type of shipping arrangement with other sellers, not even *bay.
I just ordered from Midway with the cheapest shipping. The claim was up to 7 days. It came in 3. I shipped two items with the USPS with claimed delivery of two days. One took a 1 1/2 weeks and the other was 15 days.

I noticed Midway is gluing the bottom flaps of their boxes in addition to tape. Makes them a bit more sturdy especially with heavy items.

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
I also have had nothing but good service from them over the years. Many times I have gotten my shipment earlier than they said it would be here. I ordered some 4227 couple weeks ago. They said it would be 15+ days getting here. I got it in 10. I'm older, I don't sit and grind my teeth over such stuff as slow shipping. I've been thru so much stuff that is so much worse.

Day 4 of captivity: My package is still at the same P.O. for 4 days now.
Just for the record-- I placed an order with MidwayUSA on line on Saturday 14 May 2022 -- this, after dinner (maybe 7:30PM EDT?) and wife and I went shopping this morning (20 May 2022) and -- guess what -- the package from MidwayUSA was on my porch landing! Five and one-half days?
Not tooooo shabby, imho. Bion, dealing with MidwayUSA has never given me a warm and fuzzy feeling
I reckoned I'd share my experience(s) with MidwayUSA.

Congrats George.
I've also considered Midway's shippping to be poor in the past, but I think things may have changed. Ordered about $100 worth of stuff on 5-18 and everything was delivered on 5-20. Prices were as good as any other vender I checked, or at least close enough that the "free" shipping made up for the difference. There was a hole about 1" in diameter from something poking through the box, but nothing lost or damaged. I can't fault Midway for that.
IDK. I usually look for the same item at several online sights and pick whose cheapest after shipping, taxes etc. Midway has always done ok by me and as for the 7 days, i find that reasonable.

notice something? Yeah, Midway ain't even on the list. I quit ordering there years ago because their shipping charges were so much higher.

That was true for awhile. They had so much pushback or lost business they change that. The last order I placed with Midway they were the cheapest for actual cost and shipping. A couple of places had it cheaper but it was not in stock. The Midway shipping was $7.70. Grafs had the item in stock for the same price but their shipping was $12.95.

I placed an order on May 19th, two different hearing protections and a pilot for my Lyman trimmer. They arrived today, May 21st. They were packed very well and everything arrived perfectly. I have never had a problem. I do live just down I 70 in central KS if that makes a difference.
The only problem I ever had with Midway is when they sold some "exclusive" red dot scopes they don't carry any more, I believe, they were were junk but they did replace the junk one with another junk one that I ended up with after warranty of course.
Hi folks, not sure what to say or how to put it. But shipping costs have gone through the roof. I have my own business that ships to customers on a regular basis. And receives from suppliers the same. The cost of shipping used to be minor, now it is a major event. The cost is ridiculous.
Back to Midway, at least they have items in stock. Maybe because their ship cost is a little higher. But at least I can get what I need. I have no issue with them.
Note that USPS has publicly stated that they are going to extend the time it takes to ship items. And it is already occurring, two-day Priority Mail is taking 3 to 4 days.
At this point I'm glad to get what I order. It may seem like I'm giving up, but not really. Reality is changing.

I fear that we are all going to see the day in this country when we will look back and wonder how we could have been so petty to worry about a few days, or even weeks of shipping time to receive goods that were SOOOOO unimportant and recreational.
When the insulin hasn't showed up for three weeks, or the electricity doesn't work on your allotted day, or when the only pumps with gas are fifty miles down the road --- then you'll have a cause to bitch. And it still won't do any good. jd
It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.
