Idiotic Store Policies are turning me away.

I got a pistol and in the shipping manifest is said do not return to midway the item was drop shipped.
While on the phone they denied drop shipping and when I pointed out it was printed as such in their shipping manifest he went silent and then continued to deny drop shipping.

Well that’s possible as I have bought guns or other things at a store and if there is a problem then you have to take it up with the manufacturer not with the store. It is kind of annoying if there is a warranty problem etc.

Midway and Brownell's are two places I've never liked. They think that due to their being a dearth of options they can get by with charging whatever they want & you can take it or leave it. I leave it. Dixie Gun Works is another one that got too big for their britches with their 'you'll pay it & you'll like it' attitude. Midsouth has been my 'go to' since the 70's when I bought my first ever muzzleloader, a Renegade kit that was WAY cheaper than anywhere else. Unfortunately, their traditional offerings have declined because inclines have taken over the market. So now, for me, it's mostly the used market & gunshows where muzzleloader stuff is usually cheaper because of lack of demand.

got a $15.00 part from midway, didnt want to keep it .the only way to return it was with their shipping label which was more then the part cost. i couldnt just go return it in the mail for $5 or 6 bucks.[small part]

while not midway , I went to buy a small item from a major hard whare store this morning it was only 1.99 I knew I would have to pay for shipping but there was a 4.00 fee attached plus the 5.00 shipping so did not get it

They will also not let you adjust an order once it has shipped and every order I have placed with them ironically ships within 5 minutes... I have gotten to the point where their supply generally doesn't suit my needs unlike the black powder specialist vendors and you fine guys and gals.

My business with them has declined significantly, because:
1. Their ammo prices are ridiculous, especially when the additional shipping cost is calculated.
2. I bought 8 or 10 "hi-tech" Midway branded hunting clothing items last year. They were all "Made in China".
.
On a positive note, they have started noting in the 'item characteristics' the Country of Origin of many of their products.
.
At least with the information I can make an informed choice.

Made in China? Where can you buy anything made in USA clothing wise. I was looking at a L.L.BEAN catalog and everything is imported. They may make there boots in Maine but the materials are imported.

Larry Potterfield is no longer CEO of Midway, USA & probably has little or nothing to do with their day to day policies. He is now Chairman of the Board, which means he just cashes the check & enjoys the good life. I think if he read our posts he would just say "and that's the way it is".

 

[Sorry Dude]

Between Grafs & Son, TOW, and Dixie, I think I'm good.

I don't have a problem with products made overseas. I have a problem with every overseas product being made in China. Big difference.
