It does load fast on cable. They process and ship orders very fast. That's what counts.

Timing's right for them re: the new Ebay policy. Placed my first order Wednesday night and it shipped Thursday. Prices look fair. Bye bye Ebay, Hello Midway.

New or old. The web site is too slow. They need to upgrade there bandwidth.

 

[Dave Markowitz]

Purely a cosmetic difference AFAIC. I wish they'd get a fatter pipe on their end.

I still spend too much money with Midway.

 

[Highland Ranger]

aesthetically neutral, usabilty same but appears faster - other site was a major dog.

 

[stevelyn]

Six-to one, half-a-dozen to the other. I'm more irritated on how they no longer make their dealer flier availble as a pdf.

 

[bp78]

I like the change, nothing major. They would have been better off investing in the site performance. I don't think it's a bandwidth issue either, rather a code and db problem with the software running the site.

As another put it, They process and ship orders very fast and that matters more. The search feature of the site also works well, I can always seem to find what I'm looking for using their search. Can't say the same about Brownells.

as long as they continue to give a C&R discount I could care less what it looks like.

 

[BobMcG]

No matter.

Less cluttered looking but other than that pretty much the same.

Webpage is slow, too many links to click to get to one small part or list of parts. I say go to the website order the master catalog nice and organized and you can browse at your own pace while dropping off the kids at the pool.

 

[cbsbyte]

I like the design but the site still is very slow.

Back when shipping was included in the item's cost Midway was the first place I'd order from.
It was handy knowing up front what the cost was.

Now that they add on shipping I seldom buy from them.

The old layout worked with my browser when I specified reasonable minimum font sizes. The new one doesn't.

What I really want is for it to be faster.

 

[Black_Talon]

I don't mind the way it looks, but some pages and forms don't load right with Firefox.

 

[trueblue1776]

Firefox works for me, if you get an error, just reload the page.

 

[Matt King]

I like it. The new design organizes everything well.

 

[Sistema1927]

As long as I keep getting my C&R discount and can navigate to what I want I don't care what it looks like.

 

[Rick O'Shea]

My main complaint, and the first thing I noticed: they took the "Log In" link off the front page, and make you go to My Accounts first.

Why the extra navigation step?

Logging in is the first thing I do, as I'm usually working off my wish list.

Otherwise, looks pretty.

 

[JohnMcD348]

It doesn't really matter to me how the site looks compared to new or old. Since they changed it, it actually appears to have gotten a little slower and I get alot more errors when looking for something. I had to reload a page three times the other day before it actually pulled up the item I was looking for.

 

[North Nick]

I like the new design. BUt more importantly it seems a little fast than the old.

Gotta love the C&R discount,

Nick

I liked the old layout better because it was a bit faster.

The main catalog is still OK, but the "flyers" are TERRIBLE. I hate sites that try to entertain me at a great loss of speed and readability, when all I'm trying to do is find information and order quickly and efficiently.

I have written them twice about the horrible flyers and asked them to stop sending me notices until they make them more user-friendly.

 

[WiscTJK]

I like the new layout myself.

To North Nick:

Just out of curiousity, what is the average % discount the C&R licenses gives you. Just big picture. A buddy at work and I are considering signing up, mainly to get the discounts. But, I don't buy that much, so I am not sure it is worth the time or money. I assume you are a fellow Wisconisinite.

Thanks
