The Midway USA website makes me sad.
« on: November 11, 2009, 12:37:00 AM »
 :-[ I have just about given up on using the Midway USA website. the errors not responding to search inputs and overall
pathetic slowness of the place makes me sad..

I have spent many thousands of dollars there over the years but this ongoing problem makes it pretty darn easy to pop
into brownells after spewing curse words while trying to use the Midway,. site..

am I the only one seeing these problems? I love the company but at least for my experience the internet side is horrible.

Same here. It really is frustrating wanting to spend money (small money in my case, but money just the same) and being unable to do so. I like Midway and have never had a problem with them. But if with a pretty good computer and cable internet I can't get to what I want I am tempted to go to Brownells or Cheaperthandirt.com (not) instead. I hope they fix this.

If you truly love Midway, might I suggest that you take the time to inform them of the problem with their website.  It may be something of which they are unaware.  And speaking as a businessperson, it's tough to fix a problem if you don't know it exists.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

Sometimes we make changes to improve things and it doesn't work.  It may be they missed the mark, or it could be a technical glitch.  Let them know, they also have phones, because they deserve a second, third and even fourth chance.  Larry is a great guy, runs a first class operation, and is one of the Second Amendments best friends!

I've been shoping at MidwayUSA for years and their search function has always had annoying quirks that lock up and such.  I just trudged through it until I found BUDS.  Midway's lost around $1,600 from me this year because of it.  BUD'S has been SUPER reliable, and quick to ship!  :)

Free market society, but have you bothered to talk to Midway about it?

I can always find what I'm looking for, but nothing ever seems to be in stock.  :'(

God grant that I may not be found wanting,
that I will not fail this sacred trust.
