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.

I bet it is on a truck by 7pm central tomorrow
after that the shipper but should be on or before Friday
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

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.

Free shipping can be very slow regular shipping is very good for me.

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.
