Anyone have any issues with Midway USA recently?
I placed an order last week. They say it was shipped 8/22, but I shouldn't expect it until 9/15.
Very out of character, since normally they show up in a couple days.

Ordered a 9mm butfer last week, took 2 days to arrive in my mail box. I chose the 7$ 2 day shipping over the 5.50$ 2 week shipping.
What did you order? If it was ammo, everyone is having delays.Quote:

I ordered some parts on Sunday with their normal, crappy shipping and they showed up last night.
If it is a lightweight 1st class , there is good probability that your package is going to St Paul MN. That is what is happening to majority of 1st class pcakge under 13oz (16 for ebay).
Then there is about 3-4days delays and ship it to correct facilities.
Avoid the “free” Surepost option where UPS does a hand-off to USPS.
I get ordinary in-stock Midway deliveries with plain old UPS in 2-3 days.
Depends what it is. Some things are drop shipped from distributors, other warehouses,etc. if it?s powder or primers, those come from some other places and can take a while...

EVERY gun related business is averaging 2-3 week ship times, minimum, from date of order, placed. No matter what they say when order placed.

While we've projected estimated delivery dates as accurately as possible, please note there may be delays from our package delivery partners as they're experiencing large volumes and Employee shortages. If your order takes longer than expected, we?re very sorry and appreciate your patience in allowing a few extra days before contacting us.
We're hiring as fast as we can and doing our best to respond to Customers as quickly as possible, but our incoming communications exceed our capacity. Regrettably, we?ve had to temporarily stop taking phone calls, and even web chats at times, and still can't process all our communications fast enough. We?re several days behind in answering emails, and experiencing long wait times when web chat is enabled.
RMR is rocking out.
Yesterday was a BIG day of polishing in-house bullets, 380-95, 124 MW, 124 FMJ RN, 124 JHP 47 barrels = about 1,000,000!!!! 2 pallets went out already this morning and we are planning on another 2 this afternoon.
Since we're drifting general, and not focusing on Midway specifically, allow me to share.
RMR: ordered product 7/30, shipping label created 8/1, on my doorstep 8/11. Not too bad for projos thes days. Just under 2 weeks start to finish
Xtreme: different story, had my reservations but ordered "in stock" anyway. Ordered 7/24, crickets... Emailed customer service 8/20 (~4wks later), magically received a tracking number same day (coincidence? I think not), finally hit my porch yesterday. ~5 weeks, including 7 days from Nevada to Colorado.
Primary Arms: ordered a bunch of parts on 8/25, delivered today 8/27. From south Texas. This was a box, not a small padded envelope.
YMMV
It's USPS. Almost everything I have shipped in last 2-3 weeks has had problems getting to it's destination. I shipped a small part to just Vancouver WA and it went missing, showed up in Pittsburgh, and is finally in WA on it's way (fingers crossed).
I ordered optics from Graf's 3 times in the last 2 months. All 3 times, they stated will ship in 5-7 business days due to heavy demand. They made good on the commitment.
Had an order that was placed on the 26th, tracking showing delivery on the 29th. No ammo in the shipment tho, just a couple of pouches.
Just some springs, a buffer, and other parts. All were listed as in stock.Quote:

Reality:
The USPS had delays since March.
Now they at least caught up with priority, but not yet 1st class.
The secret to ordering from Midway is to always add the cheapest box of in stock rimfire ammo to your order, even if you don't need it. THis forces them to use notUSPS to deliver and eliminates a lot of issues.
Usually I only order stuff that I am not in a big hurry to get if I order from Midway. Then slow shipping really isn?t an issue for me.
I have other sources if I need something quick or just don?t feel like waiting.
I send mold test samples to South Carolina every day.
UPS no longer guarantees overnight shipping. They blame the virus.
