Please take your shots at me here, and leave my holster thread alone.

For those who missed the prior controversy, I posted a complaint about Midway's service department's insistence that I return bullets they misrepresented at my own cost. I got three kinds of responses:

1. There were Midway fans who couldn't grasp that even an honest company can make a mistake--but shouldn't shift the cost of their own mistake to the customer.

2. There were cowards who don't like me, but know they couldn't take me on in a one-on-one debate, so took the opportunity to pile on.

3. Those wiser than I who pointed out that postage was a trifling thing to complain about.

I agree with the third category: it was a small matter, and I should have just let it go.

But I'm right in principle.

Jim

Yeah, but the pests must be occasionally fed.

For an alternative view, in past 6 months, I've put together a working setup to reload for 4 calibers, and a lot of that has come from Midway. Hundreds of $ worth and probably 15 or 20 different items. I did make mistake and ordered a wrong item..........yet they took it back no questions asked. I live close enough I dropped it off at customer pickup while picking up another order.

Better still, if the have it and the order is filled, I can normally pick it up within an hour of order being placed.

When it comes to customer service, Midway gets no complaint from me.

Fair enough, HayDay. I was a loyal customer myself for years, and probably spent several thousand dollars there.

That's hilarious James. Thanks for the laugh.

I don't recall that PM debate, CH. I must have thought the debate was over.

It's over when each side states their opinion, and has a chance to reply to points made or new issues. There's no point in repeating yourself.

There's very little possibility of changing someone's mind in one of these internet debates.
