Title: MidwayUSA
Post by: CCP on February 15, 2009, 06:27:47 PM
 I order most of my reloading supplies from Midsouthshooters supply and have always had good service from them. One of the reasons is MidwayUSA site is so slow.

The past 3 days I have been trying to order some stuff from Midway because the items I want are not carried by Midsouth. I cant get on there site half the time and I cant seem to get to where I want to go unless it is a long wait or the page times out. You would think as large as MidwayUSA is they would spend a little more on there website. I have better luck going though there foreign midway sites than there USA site to look at info. :argh:

Finding the product is a pain but when I do it is impossible to click on the details and it take you there.

Anyone else have this problem???

Richard, I think they have been having a site problem lately and undergoing some repair.  I had the same trouble as you, so I went back there real early one morning and found everything o.k. and got my order in.  I also received the new catalog and found it was laid out better than older issues.  As always, their shipping service has been quick and well packaged. I contacted them and informed them of the problems with the site, and they were grateful.

Finding some items are dang near impossible.  I made it to a gun show last week and USED small pistol dies were either not there or about 30% above retail.  Concealed carry pistols were priced totally out of sight as well.  I looked on Midway, Midsouth, Graf, etc. and all of them were out of the die set I was looking for.  I got a set, not the ones I wanted, but a set that will work for no more than I will need them.  I have most sets, but not this one.   While I was at the show I saw one box of 500 lead pistol bullets (.45 in 200 grain or something close) that were priced at $105.  While I was standing there another person laughed at the guy and said that he would never sell it, to which he said he had 5 when the day started.  I went by on my way out of the building and it was gone.   Two years ago you could have bought the box for $25.  I am just glad I got some supplies over the past couple of years.

I was trying to buy a Lee die set for my 7mm-08 and Midway was always out of stock, I would check other sites and Midway was always a little cheaper and the other sites where out of stock also. I looked for around 3 weeks checking and every time, out of stock, so I had to order some bullets and I just ordered the Lee die set and guess what!!! The die set came with my bullets.
Makes you what to go hummmmmm!!! :confused:
Check Ebay they have pretty good deals on new pistol and rifle die sets!!

I got a new set of Redding Dies for my 22-250 off E-bay for about $9 cheaper than I could find them anywhere.  Its kind of a Hit & Miss with E-bay though.

Yea your right, but you can find some really good deals sometimes. The other day I bought a New Blender for $1.00. I bought it to blend up Lures and Baits for Trapping. When UPS delivered it my wife took it and gave me her old one. lol :eyebrownod: She said they are about $30 + at Walmart and it was a top brand name, but its just like you said its a hit and mess deal.

I ordered some things from Midway a few weeks ago, and one item was to be on backorder. They wanted to charge shipping on the item when it got in stock.  I have never had that happen from Cabela's or anyplace else.  Cabela's ships you the backordered item with no S&H when they get it in stock if you pay for it with your order.  It appears on your credit card as two transactions but the second one has no S&H added. That is only right, IMO.
