Is it me, or does it seem like Midway is out of dang near everything that has to do with reloading?
I just got through perusing their site, against my better judgement since it makes my blood pressure jump, and damned if they didn't have "out of stock, backorder ok" on better than eight out of ten items that I'm looking to buy this week.
Not from them, though.
Don't know, but I'm getting just about ready to toss them in the "has-been" pile of businesses I no longer trade with. Their BS double-haz mat fees for separate primer and powder shipping is what really started the ball rolling.
Their ridiculous increase in "shipping and handling" fees give me a bellyache, too.
I just bought a casting pot and saved fifteen percent on the price alone ordering it somewhere else--and saved DOUBLE on the shipping charges. Found my lube/sizer at another place for over TWENTY PERCENT less than Midway's price, plus FREE shipping.
I've been a loyal customer of Midway for several decades--even before I began reloading. But 2007 was a bad year in terms of outrageous shipping fees, excessive delays in shipping, not having the stuff in stock, price increases . . . 2008 is starting off even worse and now their on-hand availability of so much of their stuff is zilch.
Got a letter sent off. Will see how they respond, but I'm not optimistic. And besides, there are too many other good places out there that actually have what they advertise in stock and for better prices and for WAY less in shipping and "handling."
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?
