    I stopped buying from them long ago.
    Used to order about $6000 a year.
    Last timre I ordered, they charge a "special handling fee" for hawaii.
    Yet, it came in a usps flat rate box.
    midway is no friend to the shooters anymore.

    Shipping a is detriment to Midway purchases, but when they are the only source, I submit my order. It has changed over the years but so have I. Went to Walgreens yesterday and had the worst case of sticker shot ever! Larry's videos are fun to watch!

    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 must be a supreme burden to be so wise.

    I ordered 3 individual Lee dies from them that come from the factory in the little single die cases. Midway packed them in a loose fitting plastic bag, about a 1.5 gallon size. No packing material at all, except the packing slip. The bag survived the shipping, but the dies didn't. One die was still in its little case, the other 2 had come out of their cases and evidently had banged around and hit everything between them and me. They were all scratched up, the die threads had nicks all over them. One lock ring looked like it had been sanded. Sent them back for a refund, they complied. Packing dept fail.

    Why thanks Sparky!! I'm not often accused of being wise. I owe ya one bud. jd
    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    Just received their latest flier in the mail, a tiny subset of their catalog of old, with pretty pictures and questionable "percentage OFF" of prices not even shown. The flier is, imo, worthless and with very little substance, which, after a cursory glance goes straight to the round file.

    Recession, inflation, staff shortages, product availability, shipping suspense, increasing fuel costs, and why bother to advertise IN PRINT if the price of goods is forever changing in a volatile market?
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.
