Midway USA reviews......

[Amazi]

I got bored while I was on break and was looking through what people have to say about them. I was really surprised buy how bad people talk about them. Went though 3 pages and not one good thing, went to another sight same thing. Iv probably ordered from them about 8 times roughly and iv had nothing but good things. But after seeming what happenes to people when they mess up an order I don't know if I'm going to anymore.

So, you personally have gotten good service, but because of something you read on the internet you're going to quit shopping here?

[Amazi]

I'm going off more then one sight to get a decent picture, but if the company has piss poor customer service would you order from them?

90% of it is shipping issues( the rest seemed to be with 22 ammo) and they make you pay for the shipping back to them for there mistake. Iv been there before, nothing like spending money to get less back for something that the company should be on top of.

I've had many orders with them and have always received fast accurate shipments. They are one of my go to's.

My only complaint was when I purchased a Redding T-7 press with 4 extra turret heads. The heads, 5 total, were put in original box with no additional packing material. I complained about the damage but did not return the items. I cleaned up all nicks and burrs on items with a small file and stone, nothing that would impede its usage. The Redding Imperial Sizing wax was also in the box and 4 cans were smashed - these were replaced with new and I was able to reclaim most from the damaged cans.

Otherwise all my orders have been correct.

Some items did not meet the quality standards I expected, but that was not Midway's fault.

Once in awhile my orders will have sloppy packaging but overall hey are a good company to do business with. Graf and sons is another I do allot of business with. Flat rate shipping with them too.

Exactly. The internet tends to create herd mentality. I try not to let the internet dictate the way I live my live.

Midway has always treated me well. Customer service seems to be their thing from my perspective. Prices are fair. Shipping sucks and rarely do I find a free shipping deal with them but it is what it is.

9 or 45? 1911 or Glock?

Midway is very involved in gun rights and training they are good people to do business with.

Not to belabor the issue, but what were the issues with .22lr; being out of stock, like the rest of the country...?
I don't recall ever needing to return something to Midway, so if I did it wasn't a traumatic event; but I'd be surprized if they didn't fix their mistakes.
They are arguably the biggest in their industry, and didn't get there by pissing people off, regardless of what's on arf.com.

From Larry's wiki page

In 2011, Larry Potterfield, his wife, Brenda, and Dick Leeper, the Executive Director of the MidwayUSA Foundation, developed the Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience (YWCE), a program designed to provide an opportunity for high school students across the United States to learn about conservation, ethical hunting practices and wildlife management.[21] The Potterfields are reported to have donated several million dollars to help provide YWCE programs to organizations such as Dallas Safari Club,[22] Wild Sheep Foundation,[23] Wild Turkey Federation,[24] Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation,[25] Kansas City Safari Club,[26] Houston Safari Club,[27] Mule Deer Foundation,[28] Pheasants Forever[29] and Quality Deer Management.[30]

The MidwayUSA Foundation, founded by Larry and Brenda Potterfield in 2007, is involved in helping communities and organizations raise money for education and youth shooting activities. As of 30 September 2015, the MidwayUSA Foundation is known to have US$ 81 million in assets, have paid US$ 8.4 million in grants and assisted 2,294 teams with endowments.[31]

Potterfield, who is credited with conceptualizing the Friends of NRA Fundraising banquets, organized the first such banquet in Columbia, Missouri in October 1992.[32] The concept has since been expanded to cover the other parts of the country and as per claims by the NRA, the banquets have been held at over 16,000 events, reaching over 2.8 million attendees, and raising over US$ 230 million through its fundraising programs for The NRA Foundation,[33] the charitable arm of the organization.[34] On 2 January 1992, Potterfield requested MidwayUSA customers to round up their bills to the next higher dollar and the money raised through the initiative is known to have been donated to the National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment. A part of the endowment is utilized by the NRA to affect legislation of firearms in the United States. MidwayUSA is reported to have raised over US$ 11.5 million for the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment since the inception of the NRA Round-Up initiative.[35]

Never had problems with Midwayusa. Unlike many retailers they do not gouge the buyers, pretty consistent pricing and good service. I have not heard of any bad review before. My personal experience, they have changed orders, replaced items, added to orders enrout and canceled orders all with smile in their voice and no extra charge. As someone already mentioned, they are my go to vendor.

Lots f good transactions with Midway. They aren't usually the cheapest, but they have pretty much everything. I bought an item from them once that I didn't end up using until 18 months after purchase. I had a problem with it, called midway mostly just to let them know about it, not really expecting anything. They told me to send it back for a full refund. Hard to beat that CS.

I've done a ton of business with Midway over the years and don't have anything bad to say about them. Internet reviews always need to be taken with a grain of salt. People seldom take the time to go online and post positive reviews.

I have had good service too.
