Midway is great but you get nailed for shipping costs on lightweight items if the order isn't over $50.
My experience, anyway.
Their item feedback online has been a useful resource to me, too.

I've never ordered factory loaded rounds from Midway, but do order many of my reloading components from them. I have been very happy with their selection, service and availability generally.:yeah:
Great customer service and good prices.

I guess I'm the odd man out. They just charge too damn much for shipping so when I do order from them I try to order a lot. I hate paying $10.00 shipping for a $20.00 purchase. thats one good thing about cabelas. You can do the in store pick up and save a ton on shipping, unfortunately they just don't have the selection that midways does.As a person who works in a shipping business, I will tell you this as a fact, the cost of the item you purchased means absolutely NOTHING. If you want me to ship a piece of paper, it will cost you $7, if you want me to ship a 5 pound bag of lead, it will cost you $7. That is to take it from point A to point B.
Now, if you want me to package it. Cost of box $5, cost of packing material, $2, labor, $10. Add that to the cost of shipping, depending on weight, and you are over $20.
Yup. I guess that $10 for shipping is just to much. Much cheaper than a 1.25 hour drive one way.

Hmmm. Talk about overthinking it. All I'm saying is I don't like paying $10.00 shipping for a $10.00 item especially when they can ship a flat rate box for said item for $4.75. Or throw it in an envelope for say .44 cents.
But thats still not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is I like to order a bunch of stuff to make it worth my while.
$10.00 labor to box up a holster? Wow, you need new management. Sounds like it must be a union gig. Geez.

You still have to pay someone to pick the part and pack it, plus pay for the packing material. It ain't free. And one thing Midway does do very well is packing. And you cannot just "throw" it into an envelope unless you want it destroyed. Envelopes run through a rolling machine to sort and if there is anything hard or breakable it will break and possibly break their machine.

I understand your point on paying as much for shipping as the part. I am the same way. I wait for a sale or make a long list. You also have a choice on how to ship it. I go the cheapest and many times only pay 7-8 bucks.
