Ah, that's cute. I hope you feel all better now.

Nuff said on this subject, ill try to remember that you are a sportsman like me and we should all be on the same side.

I never felt any differently. You think you were wronged, I think you weren't. Last I checked we both have a right to our opinions. Good day midlander.

I know several people that have worked there over the years and have been told its not a good place to work anymore . One guy that worked for them since they were just a brown steel building with a gun shop in it said they havnt had principals since the obama rush

It doesn't hurt my feelings that you don't listen and understand someone else's position.

Instead, it makes you feel better to belittle others, doesn't it?

My Timney elite hunter arived today from Midway. Only took 4 days and when was choosing options and got it in my cart it was 25$ less expensive than on the home page.
I have had nothing but good to say about midway.


Edit to add the Timney is nice. Good improvement out of the box over the factory 700 it replaced and i have not even adjusted it yet.

You'd know way more about that than I would. It seems to be your life's mission.

This may explain a few things...

I can't figure out why you take criticism of Midway so personally. You dumped on my earlier thread, and it didn't take you long to come out of the woodwork here.

Do you have stock or other ownership interest in the company?

Jim

It was a good movie though

Has nothing to do with Midway and everything to do with frivolous claims you've made to discredit a company that IMO did nothing wrong. The first time you didn't research the products you ordered before ordering them and now you expect them to honor sale prices after the sale has ended, just because they didn't have it still in stock after the ads went out.

The first time I DID research the products I ordered. I read every drop of information they released about the bullets, but they omitted the material fact that the bullets I ordered were non-standard bullets. When a reloader buys a box of bullets, he assumes it has a standard twist rate unless a different rate is disclosed.

In the end, I conceded that a box of bullets was a trifling thing to complain about--but that doesn't mean my complaint was invalid.

I explained the second time too: they advertised a product on sale for 3-4 months, refused back-orders, then when the product arrives, they end the sale. Suppose your local Target or Lowes used that sales tactic. Wouldn't you complain?

The trick worked, I guess. I checked the status of the "sale" item several times, and wound up ordering other stuff. Clever.

I still can't figure out your personal interest in Midway.

Jim

There's no sense in explaining it to you again, but I suppose you may need it so here goes,,, they can only put into the description of the products what the manufacturer tells them. There is no way you could know if they intentionally left out some of the information. If you assumed you knew and were wrong, that's on you, not them. Second case, most likely they sold out of the products that were in the sale, then when they came back into stock, they cost them a lot more (as does everything these days if you haven't noticed), hence the reason they didn't allow back orders by not knowing for sure on replacement costs,,,, and it would unprofitable to sell them for the sale price so like any responsible business they ended the sale and probably had to raise the original cost to make a profit for their company.

I can't explain my POV any more clearly than that.

Having worked at Lowes for several years I can tell you this happens pretty much every single week. Flyer comes out... which are sent from corporate. Everyone comes in to buy the great sale drill or weedeater. We only have one or two so they're sold out an hour into the sale. The pricing coordinator hung up all the sale signs the night before. Signs remain up after item sells out due to employee attitudes of "not my job" to take them down. Customers are mad we are out of stock all week. Sale finally ends. That night truck comes and has the item in question. Shelves get restocked, pricing coordinator removes signs because the sale has ended. More than once I've had customers come in the day after the sale ended and asked if they could get it for the sale price since we had been out of stock. The answer was always no.

Some stores, mostly grocery stores, still offer rain checks, which is in essence what you're after Jim. Years ago, a lot more stores did but now most don't. Neither Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart offer rain checks anymore.

Yup, that's me, all right. Mad.

ADC: Midway may indeed have a complaint against Sierra regarding the non-disclosure. But I bought from Midway, not Sierra. As for their own customer, Midway is responsible for the misinformation.

One of the "experts" at Midway could tell it was non-standard just by looking at the box. And I doubt I was the first to ever order those bullets.

As for your other points, I see no reason in going round and round with you.

Jim

You think it's their responsibility to have their "experts" look at every product, which number high in the thousands, and add to or alter the description the manufacturer gave them to use in the ad?

Is it too much to expect a merchant to have some familiarity with the products they sell? I don't think so.

Jim

I'm sure most of the people there are just your average workers you'd find in any profession. Hired to do a job,,, like type in the description the manufacturers give them for the products. There are people there who know a heck of a lot more than you or I will ever know about bullets I'm sure, but it's not their job to oversee every little thing about every bullet they sell, and ludicrous to expect that of them. It's like asking the stenographer to know all about the law.

MIDWAY ROCKS!!
