A few weeks ago I was looking to buy some odd parts, like a .303 British headspace gauge and some Forster Dies, and went to Midway USA's website. I entered my order, and was just about to hit the "confirm" button when I noticed an incorrect address. Huh? How did I do that? My street is 1XX MXXXXXX, and the order showed 1XX MYYYYYYYY.
I re-entered the correct address again, and got the same result. Finally I noticed a FAQ link, which stated that Midway uses a U.S. Postal Service "address recognition" software, and it was automatically changing my address to what it thought "I meant". The site cheerfully said, "contact us if you have any problems". I emailed them and got no response, so I placed my order with Mid-south Shooters instead.
I know why I had problems - my subdivision is new, and it can't be found on Mapquest or any of the other online mapping software. I guess if you live in a new subdivision, you can't order online from Midway
