      Order #******** I ordered two boxes of 20 round HSM ***** Govt ammo. The boxes came damaged and totally ripped opening, missing a round. I reached out to support, and they only refunded me $2 for the missing round. I did not receive the product I paid for. Might as well have just poured open rounds loosely into a box. I paid for a brand new undamaged product. Support just totally ignored my request to return the product and get a full refund, and forced a $2 refund instead. I do understand the other rounds I did receive appear to be in tact, but it comes down to the item I paid for in the photo isnt how I received it. Took a quick ****** search to find other people on Reddit reporting theyve had a similar experience with their rounds arriving totally loose in box.

      Attention: BBB Dispute Resolution Department

      Customer Satisfaction is our #1 goal at **********************; in alignment with this goal, we have completed an investigation into Mr. ****** claim. We appreciate the Better Business Bureau (BBB) bringing his complaint to our attention and serving as an independent third party.

      After researching Mr. ****** complaint, I was able to determine he placed his order on 03/01/2024 for 2 HSM Cowboy Action Ammunition ***** Government 405 Grain Hard Cast Flat Nose Triple Lube Groove Box of 20. Below is a snip from our return policy:

      Due to safety considerations and legal/regulatory reasons, Ammunition, Guns, Gun Powder,Primers, 80% Lower Receivers/Frames, Receiver Blanks, Receiver Flats, Pistol Braces and Treestands may not be returned. For hygiene reasons, underwear and mouth calls may only be returned in new, unused condition. Products requiring fuel or liquids may not be returned once the fuel or liquids have been added (must also be in new, unused condition).

      ************** contacted us on 03/22/2024 and our team explained our return policy. When he notified us of the damage, we issued him a refund of $2 to cover the cost of the missing round and sent him an ammo box at no charge to use for his remaining ammunition.

      Customer satisfaction is our #1 goal, however, ************** is outside of our return policy and there is nothing further we can offer him.

      I purchased a pair of hunting boots in November 2023. I wore the boots during our hunting season, and the rubber around the toe started to come apart. I contacted Midway usa on 2/10/2024 to tell them the issue about the defected boot. I was told they wouldn't exchange the boots even though it was defective. I have bought boots and have never had a company not stand behind their product within the first year

      Customer Satisfaction is our #1 goal at MidwayUSA; in alignment with this goal, we have completed an investigation into Mr. ***’s claim. We appreciate the Better Business Bureau (BBB) bringing his complaint to our attention and serving as an independent third party.

      After researching Mr. ***’s complaint, I was able to determine he placed his order the morning of 01/31/2024 for the Wheeler Master Roll Pin Punch Set with Brass and Nylon Hammer and Savior Equipment 8-Slot Pistol Storage Rack Black. It was packaged and shipped out via *** Ground that same afternoon with a tracking number of ******************. Mr. ***’s package has an expected delivery date of 02/07/2024. However, this date is tentative based on historical information, and we are unable to guarantee the delivery date of non-expedited packages.

      At times a package may be delayed or even lost, but we do have to allow the carrier an opportunity to deliver your package. Due to this, we give them until the historical 99th percentile of MidwayUSA delivered packages before we consider it lost.

      Customer satisfaction is our #1 goal, Mr. *** was issued a full refund for his package on 02/12/2024 per our lost package policy. We are very sorry his package was not delivered to him by the shipper after it was sent from our warehouse.

      I purchased an item on Jan 4th 2024. I purchased a product that had internally defective parts ( wrong size ) therefore I couldnt use this item. Per their return policy if a product is defective they will accept the return. Upon returning the item back they emailed me and said that the item was altered and therefore they cant accept the return. In no way did I alter the item. That was simply an excuse for them not to accept the return on an item that is defective. I was also told to contact the manufacturer if that was the case. They treated me very unfairly and now Im stuck with a product that I cant use because it has a defective part. I contact several people on their team and couldnt get a different outcome.

      I ordered a triple K cross draw holster model #***-10 which is supposed to fit my Colt **** according to their website & their CSR that I spoke to on the phone! I received the holster and when I put my weapon in the holster it got stuck in there because something must be defective with this holster! My weapon just would not come out of the holster! I sprayed silicone down in it trying to get my weapon released & only after almost 2 days I had to beat my weapon out with a screwdriver **** and a hammer! They claim that they can't do anything for me because I altered the holster that was stuck on my weapon that should not have gotten stuck! The only thing that they offered is Sorry! That don't put a holster on my weapon or replace the $50 that I paid them for a holster that is supposed to fit my weapon! I just asked for a non-defective holster that fits my weapon like I paid for to be sent to me in place of this defective one! Now I think refunding my $ might be a better option for everyone! I have contacted their customer service, their manager and attempted to contact *********************** president and CEO but just get back a form letter by someone else! This is not customer service it is just them using company policies as an excuse to do the right thing!

      I called MidwayUSA and ordered a 6 round magazine for a Glock 43. I received the magazine yesterday. When I placed the magazine into the pistol, the magazine is not properly sized and scraped the sides of the magazine frame and did not fit well. The magazine this company sent me is an after market part of poor quality. I paid $26.99 for this magazine. Today, I went to the Sports Center of Perry Georgia and bought a Glock 43 Magazine for $29.99 plus tax and the magazine fits perfectly into the pistol. I would like to return the poor quality magazine and receive a refund. I was unable to reach anyone on the phone today with MidwayUSA.

      On 04/13/2023, I placed an online order from MidwayUSA for a PVS14, and it cost me $4,000. This isn't some chump change, and I trusted Midway to not mess this up, as they are a well vouched and reputable company. I ordered UPS Next Day Air Saver as well to get this to me quickly. On the day of delivery, which was 04/15/2023, I was sitting outside and waiting for the UPS truck to come, when the driver came out and asked me to sign for a package that looked like it had beat to high hell with a baseball bat. Beat, battered, with tape sloppily on there, and slightly opened still and I could see a busted and scratched PVS14 night vision unit inside of it. I immediately declined this and said "return this back to sender please because it is damaged" and the UPS driver took it back. The tracking number reflected this on the history a couple hours later. The UPS tracking says "damaged, returned to sender". MidwayUSA refuses to replace or refund me until they receive the unit back from UPS. The unit that I never took possession of, and was damaged while in a third party shipper's possession. Midway stated to me that "it needs to be returned to our warehouse, please wait" so I waited 3 days and the tracking literally hasn't moved at all and I do not know why. I suspect it may have been stolen by a UPS employee or something. I am not sure. So, in this instance, I requested the customer service representatives to start a UPS claim. All of them simply said no. Why? I do not know. But what I do know, is that with shipping insurance, UPS will just repair the cost of this, and Midway can replace and or refund this for me. As a business owner myself, I do this whenever people have issues. Instead, Midway...simply refuses. To start a UPS claim. For tracking that was damaged and returned to sender and hasn't changed in 3 days. Over the course of 3 days of me calling, I get told "call back tomorrow" and people who don't care that I am $4k out of pocket with no product in my hand.

      I am rejecting this response because: the business is asking me to make a police report over a package that never got delivered and was lost there’s nothing the police can do about this issue unless I suspect that the package was stolen and I don’t know what happened to the package I cannot make a false police report because it is a crime to file a false police report . I personally think that the item was lost by the carrier or never delivered at all there for this issue falls on the business end as they where responsible for shipping the item to me .

      date of transaction 8 Jan 2023, order # ********- I ordered three separate parts under one single order. Said items weighed less than one pound and could easily be shipped in either a small box (6x6x3, and or a bubble mailer envelope.) Items ordered were in stock and delivery was stated to be on or about 12 January. Items were shipped *** and then transferred to ****. The tracking information I was given at the time indicated that the pkg was sent to my local PO. after being notified that the expected date of delivery of 12 January was changed 3 additional times-I reached out to ***, who stated the item had been rec'd by the local **** on 12 Jan and was no longer in their posession. The follow up call to my local PO was advised they had not received the package from ***. I then contacted Midway and was informed that I would have to wait a month to file a claim. I then followed up with a call to ***, who again informed me that the **** was in possession of the package. MidwayUSA initially gave me a delivery date that they failed to materialize, albeit their paid logistical subcontractor. MidwayUSA does not have a viable resource for its customers to address these issues-live chat kept going in circles and their written policy states that an order cannot be cancelled once ordered. MidwayUSA policy of one month wait period to address a shipping issue is unrealistic.

      I placed an order just after the first of the year. I saw that Midway was advertising “free shipping is back”. Curious as to what this was, I chose this option. The order took much longer than I thought it should take for such a large business to pick the parts from the warehouse, box and then ship. The order was then showing as shipped on the 4th of Jan with an estimated delivery date of Jan 11th. Obviously **** first class because no other shipping sucks that bad. Days later, I still didn’t receive it. I called and was treated like garbage by their customer service rep. They said call back after 20 days. I then left a poor review on their website and almost immediately received an email from another Midway rep simply covering their behinds and not offering any resolution. She said that “all of their shippers had informed them that shipping was taking up to 20 days”. Really? All of their shippers? **! If they were in fact informed of this, why didn’t they mention this on their website during checkout so I could have made a more informed shipping choice? I replied to the email from their rep asking that they re ship my order ups 2nd day air and if my order ever arrives from ****, to provide a shipping label and I’d ship the other one back unopened. They didn’t even respond to this email, much less deny my suggestion. The customer is NOT always right at midway. They do NOT inform customers of shipping delays, their warehouse staff is incredibly slow picking parts and then shipping and their customer service does do thing but cover their butts and accuse their customers instead of resolving the problem. The package shipped on the 4th, it’s now the 19th. What the ****? Midway needs to own this problem right away, not 20 days later.

      RE: Complaint ID: ********* **** *********

      Attention: BBB Dispute Resolution Department

      Customer Satisfaction is our #1 goal at MidwayUSA; in alignment with this goal, we have completed an investigation into Mr. *****’s claim. We appreciate the Better Business Bureau (BBB) bringing his complaint to our attention and serving as an independent third party.

      After researching Mr. *********’s complaint, I show he placed two orders in January. The first invoice# ******** was placed on 01/04/2023 it was packaged and shipped in two different boxes via **** 1st Class Mail on 01/04/2023. For this order, Mr. ********* used our free shipping promotional code, so the order was shipped in the most economical way available. Unfortunately, with **** 1st Class mail there are no tracking updates, and we must allow enough time for the carrier to deliver the package.

      It appears Mr. *********’s package, however, was not delivered and a replacement was shipped out to him on 01/24/2023. When reshipping Mr. *********’s package, it was upgraded to *** Ground at no charge. According to the tracking information, the replacement package is out for delivery today (01/26/2023).  

      The second invoice# ******** was placed on 01/12/2023 and shipped via 2nd Day Air on 01/12/2023. When the order was placed, Mr. ********* was provided with an expected delivery date of 01/16/2023. According to the tracking information and Mr. *********’s emails, the package was in fact delivered on this date.

      Customer satisfaction is our #1 operational goal, and I am very sorry that Mr. ********* did not receive his packages when he expected them. We have replaced his first order and the second order was delivered on the expected delivery date. Due to this, there is nothing further I would be able to offer Mr. *********.
