Its been a while since I have ordered from midway. Normally when I spend money I do it when it's a good deal with additional discounts so I order more than I need and orders are spaces out. Today's order was ammo on sale Hornady North American whitetail in 243 for $22.×× a box. For example on what I consider a good price. Found a 20% off discount code on top of that. Shipping was not bad. Picked up a few different cal.
Midway has always had fast shipping for me . Any bets on how long it will take for my order to show up. I ordered today about 2 hours ago.. I'm thinking Wensday or Thursday.
Told the wife I probably shouldn't have ordered so much and her reply was only " we need it" Man I lucked out getting her for a wife. I knew I should have doubled my order.

Remember, they are in business for one reason. They want to earn a profit. Or they would not stay in business no kidding. I have 9 k rounds of ammo I bought at one point in time. It was a good very sale price and they also had one of the free shipping and x off at this price and x more off at hight stepped up prices each level rise in $ spent had a corresponding increase in the discount amount I don't remember the details it's been a few years. But instead of making one order I made a few because at the amount I ordered was many times over the discount max amount so a few orders that hit the lever to just hit the max discount and I doubled the discount on The same amount of ammo. I'm a value thrift shopper and only buy ARt a good or great price. Typically I'm never low on much because when I find a deal I stack it deep. The exception is new calibers or in the 243 case it was used and not replaced like normal during to being unavailable and when available 2x the price it should be. So I got very low on it. Down to less than a box infact. I like midway but will buy form anyplace that has the best deals. They all have to make a profit it just does not all have to come from me.

after that the shipper but should be on or before Friday

Call them BEFORE they ship and I'd bet they will be happy to double your order!

Been slow my last two orders. I was starting to think they were slipping. Didn't they get bought out awhile back. When I order from Midway it will go from Columbia, Mo. to St. Louis. Then it goes from St. Louis back across the state to KCMO. Then it goes to KCK and a lot of the times it goes back and forth there for 2-3 days before it comes down here. I live about 250 from Midway's store and it usually takes a week or more. Been like that for a few years now. Years ago they didn't have a separate shipping charge, it was included in the price and most times I would get my order in two days.

Just checked my email so far no shipping confirmation notice. Guessing the increase in ammo volume orders are slowing things down.
Or they could be slipping as I previously mentioned, guess we should have made a friendly wager

Infact the 350 legend rounds I order went down close to a dollar in price since I made my order. Ir very well could be next week before it shows up. Left Laine investing advice is free. Get on a budget and track your spending. Cut expenses where you can and start saving and paying off debt. Then invest heavily. Very simple and basic common since but few do it.

It will show up when it shows and up I won't be home for days after it shows up. I'm in no hurry. The thread Is about delivery times more than o boy I got the delivery. Yep I'm low on a few things but my low is over stocked or a hoarding to others. In fact I found several boxes I didn't realize I had today of some of the stuff I ordered. And when my order arrives it will go in am ammo can get labeled and put up and I will still think I'm low on that cal. I'm like a squirrel when it come to ammo.

When you says boxes, are you talking boxes of 20 rounds, Shoe boxes, foot lockers size box, or pick up box size?

You're right the spelling wisecrack was a purdy cheap shot. My bad. What I should have said was please consider paying a professional to give the kiddos some shooting and gun safety lessons. They won't be little for long and if we fail them as fathers they can be scared for life. It wasn't firearms related but I failed my son a single day at a single afternoon perf and he wears a scar from it. He wanted to get a picture of himself riding roughstock in a hat (no helmet). The same still photographer that shot the PBR finals was there that day and I let him talk me into it.
He acts like he is fine with it, but I still get sick to my stomach when I think about how I didn't protect him.

He acts like he is fine with it, but I still get sick to my stomach when I think about how I didn't protect him. My boys can teach most of the big gun guys safety lessons and have better gun handling and shoot no shoot situation like nope won't that that shot at that big buck in the ridge because I can't see what's behind it and self control not to than most adults I have been around. Goes the same for them not shooting a nicer buck that walks out after they just filled their buck tag on a smaller buck 16 mins before. Very few adults I know would show the self control my boys have including me when I was younger but much older than than he was at the time. I once failed to protect one of my sons doing something each and every one off us does and have done every single day and I still do today with my two boys. That was put him in a vehicle in his 5 point side impact tested most expensive car seat on the market. Doing everything right above and beyond and you still can't keep them safe. And he was still killed due to someone else's neglect and mistake. Yet I failed to be able to keep him safe and allowed him to be in a position to be killed. Irrational though maybe yet I still have it. Just that same as my wife holdes herself responsible for not seeing the truck comment that ran the light and hit us since she was driving. Yes it's Irrational but we still manage to try to blaim ourselves. So with every single thing I alow them the kids to do regardless of how much I try to keep them safe or account for every possible outcome I have that worry. Do I hold them back and not let them ride the dirt bikes or cliff rappel, or any other activities that are generally safe yet pose life and death risk. We can't wrap them in bubble wrap I tell myself. Better they learn at a young age and be given big responsibility that is what build strong men and future leaders. At our country's founding 20 year olds we're leasing the army and saling ships across the ocean. Today 30 year old live in their parents basement and play video games. The difference is there used to be expectations an responsibility give to kids at a very young age. You ment well he got a scar you both learned a lesson. He learned dad was right wear the safety gear. You learned to stick to your guns about it. Sounds like you got lucky and it could have been worse still dose not make I any easier for you. I understand that feeling of failure to protect as a dad that had his young son killed on his watch an arms length away and I sat there injured with fractured skull and looked at him but was not even with it enough to be able to move my arms and get out of my seat belt or get to him. I could only manage to turn my head and think he was asleep, my wife looked asleep and my daughter 5 at the time was flipping out and I keep trying to get to her but could not move anything but my neck. I see it clear as day still as I type it out and I don't know how because I don't member the life flight or more than a few hours and flashes of the next few weeks . I train my kids and have no worries about them. It's others that will put them in danger. Knowing that I test them now and then. I have wondered Will they speak up if they end up out with friends and see them doing things Unsafe will they call them out on it, we all hope so but, how do we know? You train them in safety at a very young age right from the start tell its 2nd nature no thought involved. I purposely do something or make it look like I'm getting ready to do something questionable now and then like going to take a.shot with questionable back stop and see If they call me out and do so with authority. . If they are quick to get onto me they should get onto another kid or friend. At least that's about the best I can come up with. My boys have been handling guns from a very young age. My wife was mad she thought they were lighting fire crackers when I was up at the barn with her and not with them. When it turns out that it was my 14 year old shooting extended distance out to 100 with his .22 to learn his drop she apologized for getting mad at him. She know he is and has been good to go with guns for years. But weak firecrackers she was concerned with. Operating vehicles, equipment, mowers, chain saws, tractors, guns, bows × bows, tools. My boys are good to go better than.most adults. My youngest is the dare devel on some things like ramping his bike high enough to bend the front forks far enough forward to kink the pipes and make it trash, ridding wheelies, or in a wagon down a steep hill. But he won't take chances with guns because I made it very clear there are zero exceptions at a very young age. But shooting and hunting have alway been my primary interest and hobbies. So my kids got interested in what dad likes as most boys tend to do. I have no issues with training just with some "trainers," abilities and bad habits I have witnessed. Also why I don't shoot at public ranges except with rare exceptions. I'm not bullet proof after all. I'm sure I will get some know it all push back from some but at 4 the kids were packing their empty rifles on "hunts" (walks) with me behind them reminding them about where the muzzle was pointed, finger off the trigger, and not muzzle sweeping me when they turned to talk to me. When we would get to a hot hickory tree I would sit them between my legs let them load it and wait for a shot where I had 100% abilities to control the gun. Then un.load and repeat watching their gun handling on the way back to the house. Man that seem like a lifetime ago now. My youngest has a nice scare on his forhead from the front peg of his brothers bike when he went down and his brother was following to.close and didn't turn fast enough and clipped him. He doesn't act like it bothers him. Infact I think they like their scars and think they make them look tough. We.can only do our best to train them to make good decisions..the rest is up to them and God. I'm sure they could use some professional training in many other areas I can't help them much on like riding horses more than just ploping in the saddle and pulling the reingand dirt bikes. Two things I'm at best a beginning amateur at and knowledge training would be a very smart choice. Not just for them but i could use lessons myself as well.

My heart goes out to every parent who has lost a child including you and your wife. I'm pretty sure I'd be a big mess for a while if I'd had to go thru that, but as parents of other kids, you simply wouldn't have had that option. Instead, no matter how tough it was at the time, y'all would have had to demonstrate how strong you were so the other little ones didn't pattern after bad behavior.
I must have had you confused with someone else on here. At some point, somebody's little guy was runnin out to a coon in the garden type thing and had an accidental discharge. That bothered me. It bothered me a lot and still does. My apologies - I thought that post came from you.

She was 18 at the time and tripped with the speed of going down the back stairs on her way out to dispatch a coon. Her hands went up to catch herself and with the impact on the ground the gun was pointed back at her shoulder and with the reflexes of falling her finger must have ended up in the trigger guard. You were correct it was me 4 years ago.

I am glad she is ok and the worst didn't happen. I also agree with that misguided Kansas guy (bless his pointy lil head) that isn't bad at all on the delivery time. Fnt & MTP spoil us do everyone else looks slow by comparison (except Valley Vet Supply. I sure wish they sold ammo LOL)

Just got home and opened the box. 49 lbs makes for some rought handling during shipping. 3 of the cci 100 round plastic boxed were busted open and the bullets all mixed in the bottle of the box and 4 more cracked or busted but didn't lose any ammo. Had 1 k of sub sonic hp and 2 k of mini mags, and at least 12 boxes each of 243 and 350 legend I think may have been 15 or 20 boxes each i went back and forth and cant remember. May go count in a little while to much to do now that im home . Guess it could be worse and the box could have ripped out and had missing ammo.
