Once Exceptional, Now Just Average
I have been a loyal MidwayUSA customer for many years and have spent thousands of dollars with the company. In the past, I considered Midway to be one of the premier retailers in the shooting industry, and one of the biggest reasons was its outstanding shipping speed and order fulfillment. Unfortunately, that has changed. Over the last couple of years, I have noticed a steady decline in shipping performance. My most recent experience simply confirmed what I had already been observing. I recently ordered a Bix'n Andy TacSport X Trigger and paid an additional $8 for upgraded UPS Ground shipping, expecting a meaningful improvement in delivery speed. The order shipped on June 7, 2026, and UPS tracking has consistently shown delivery on June 13, 2026—a six-day transit time. As a customer in Georgia who has received countless Midway shipments from Missouri over the years, I can say this is far slower than the service that originally earned my loyalty. I contacted customer service and requested a refund of the upgraded shipping charge because paying extra provided no apparent benefit. My request was denied, with the explanation that only Next Day Air and Two-Day Air services have guaranteed delivery times. The issue is not the $8. The issue is that customers are encouraged to pay extra for upgraded shipping with the reasonable expectation that it will result in noticeably faster delivery. In my experience, that expectation was not met. After raising my concerns, a $10 gift certificate appeared in my account without any communication or explanation. While I appreciate the gesture, it does not address the underlying problem or change my opinion that Midway's shipping performance has declined compared with the level of service it once provided. As someone who has spent thousands of dollars with MidwayUSA over many years, this review is disappointing to write. The company built its reputation on outstanding customer service and rapid shipping, but I no longer believe that reputation reflects my recent experiences. Today there are many competitors with comparable pricing and product selection, and the shipping advantage that once set Midway apart appears to have largely disappeared. I hope Midway takes these concerns seriously and restores the level of service that made it an industry leader. Until then, I will be giving much stronger consideration to purchasing from other retailers.
