MidwayUSA shipping time.

I shop with Midway for a number of reasons. They usually have what I want, prices are generally good, and they always have been great with customer service and returns. I have never shopped with them because of their shipping speed. It generally takes a week for a normal sized order to get from MO to KY. If it’s just a couple of small parts in a bag it sometimes gets here faster.

Interesting, but in plain English I asked what were people’s experience not what MidwayUSA’s website said.

Oh my word, please forgive me.

Not with Midway, but placed an order with MidSouth on 4/2. Not panic-related, just some dies I'd been planning to order but was waiting for the first of the month. That order is still "processing" a week later.

I also placed an order with RMR for a few thousand of their in-house 9mm bullets. I don't expect to see those for another 5 or 6 weeks (they're all back-ordered. If I remember correctly they were stuck waiting on a shipment of copper sheeting for their jacketed bullets before the panic hit, so they were a tad behind already when it started). Once again was a planned purchase and not panic-related (just getting ready for summer shooting), and nothing I need urgently.

I mean, I'm excited to play with my new toys and would love to have them. But I knew exactly what to expect before I placed the orders. Both companies have banners up all over their site warning about their respective delays.

I should also mention the pricing for all of these items was the same as it was 1-3 months ago as I was planning these purchases.

I usually order from Midway because of a sale or a deal on shipping. I recently ordered some components and some sleedloaders. The order might have been a little slow but not really noticably so.

I try to remember that Sweetwater Sound has me spoiled. If they were any faster, I could place an order and then go to the front door and find it there on the porch already.

i have ordered things from the Glock Store, and i am still waiting, one since 3/31 and the other since 4/5.

i called them and i was told that their suppliers (or factory ) that makes the products i want, are shut down, or have a small work crew. and that the Glock Store warehouse is much understaffed as well.

otherwise, i get anything i order in about 10 days or less.

it is what it is.

I ordered from Midway a little after the panic started and it took 7 days to ship. I expected this since my other favorite ammo sellers were taking even longer to ship. I placed another order a week later and it took 5 days to ship. Again not a problem for me. I’ve never had a problem with midway and I always order at least one box of ammo along with everything else to ensure UPS delivers it. I have terrible luck with usps.

I never thought about that, smart idea.

I've had Midway orders arrive in 2 days...when they didn't use SmartPost. SmartPost takes at least five days.

Just placed an order March 28, took overly long to arrive. Not as bad as Amazon, ordered a thermometer same day as Midway order and it is supposed to arrive June 6.

I ordered from Midway Wednesday and received my package today. I did spring for two day shipping though.

I ordered a couple of small things from them the last couple of weeks and they arrived within ten days, IIRC. Ordered bullets and cases from Buffalo Arms and they arived within a week.

Ordered some powder from Powder Valley on March 30th and it shipped April 6th, a bit quicker than the 10-12 day delay they stated on their website.

That’s why I’ve started buying a box of 22 ammo with every order unless it’s such a small order they can fit it in an envelope.

I ordered some stuff on the 27th of last month and it shipped on the 6th arrived on Friday, I'm content with it, prices were fair and shipping is slow everywhere

Placed an order on Thursday. I'll let you know what happens.

I ordered from them April 2. They clearly stated a shipping arrival day of April 16 BEFORE I placed the order.

I went through with the order. I have not received my items yet.

I am still satisfied.

You know why?

Because it is not April 16 yet.

I placed an order with RMR on 3/28, a label was created on 4/5; estimated ship date was 4/7; still hasn't shipped. Every outfit is slammed, so patience is a virtue. I am old enough to remember when you mailed in an order with a check and just waited............

"Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery...."

Haven't ordered from Midway in a long time, but FWIW they always shipped faster than Brownell's.

Yep, but when they send me a second email saying pkg to ship on 4/7 and as of today (4/11) still nothing, that just sucks as the item was in stock when I placed the order

Sometimes companies need to just stay quiet so as not to over-promise and under-deliver in completely unpredictable times like these.

Has anyone ordered anything from MidwayUSA since the “panic” started? If so how long did it take for them to ship? I placed a small order, three in stock items Monday and they still haven’t shipped. I know they are slammed but five days backed up?

Got a RGB 308 dies in 3 days--regular shipping

Ordered 556 brass from a supplier last Sunday----got e-mail from USPS this PM saying will deliver Sunday by 6 PM

Midway is taking a lot longer lately.

I placed an order for some small items and 500 rounds of 5.56 on 04/01; order was assembled 04/02 and shipped 04/08, but I have not received it yet. I usually order some ammunition with every order as well.
