The transaction date was 11/19/2024. I purchased two items totaling $395.03. One of the items is a Limited-Edition Cold Steel AD-10 ***** edition knife. The box the item arrived in is in very poor condition. I used their chat support feature and was connected with ****** who was condescending almost right way and stated they do not sell collectable items and that the item isn't damaged if the box is the only part damaged. When it comes to a limited-edition item the box is a very important piece of holding its value and potentially appreciated over time. There are only 1000 of these knives produced. I tried to explain this to him and his response was to ask me if the knife was damaged and then stated they do not warranty boxes. I asked him to ship me a replacement and that I would ship this one back. He then told me I would have to place another order if I wanted a new one. The item is currently $62.50 more than when I purchased it. So, they send me a defective item and I am expected to pay more money to get one in the condition the first one should have come. The worst part is I tried to find a way to print the chat to save for my records and to share here and they do not have an option to.Business Response

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: This isn't an acceptable response. I purchased a limited edition item. There are only 1000 of these made which makes them a collectable item. The box my order was shipped in was not damaged, which means the person that packaged my item at MIdway USA put the item in the box in the awful condition it is in. Your offer to return the item is fine, if you're willing to provide me with a replacement at the same price I paid for this one. The 25% off sale is no longer available. I was more than willing to ship this one back if you would have been willing to ship me a replacement.

I ordered a spring kit totaling almost 20 dollars shipping and all, on the 13th, and it was supposed to take a few days. After a a day or so I thought I would check my order and see what information I could find out. On there webpage it said the items where shipped and it was processing, which is a contradiction, so I emailed them and asked which one it was. I was told it was shipped and if I did not get it by the 25th let them know. They also could not provide any tracking information on this order, ***** is the 29th and I still do not have the order, so I emailed them again and was told I would have to wait until the 9th before they could do anything?

Complaint: 22061588
I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:
thats a **** lie, attached is the email I responded to as soon as I got it, you claim customer service is number 1, but you are full of number 2! You have wasted so much of my time with this nonsense, over a 20 dollar order. I specifically requested an email, 4 days again and I have not heard anything back.
Sincerely,
Major ********Customer Answer

I have received nothing, and I have told midway usa, in emails and calls and chats when I tried to solve this before the BBB. They have stalled and flat out lied. A perfect example is the last comment they made about me not answering. They must be a democrat company, lie and cover up and try not to do the right thing. Ive notified my mail carrier of the situation, if they ever receive anything they will return it to sender.Business Response

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 goal at **********************; in alignment with this goal, we have completed an investigation into ******************** claim. We appreciate the Better Business Bureau (BBB) bringing his complaint to our attention and serving as an independent third party.
After researching ******************* complaint, I was able to determine he placed his order on 07/13/2024 for an Armaspec Spare Parts Kit AR 15, LR-308 - Spare Spring and Detent. It was packaged and shipped out on 07/16/2024 vis **** 1st Class Mail with a tentative expected delivery date of 07/13/2024. 1st Class Mail is **** most economical shipping method, and we are not provided any tracking information. We reached out to ******************** on 08/02/2024 asking if his package has been delivered and requested, he confirm his shipping address. ******************** did not respond with the requested information.
This package has now been received back from **** as a return to sender with the notes unable to forward. We have issued a refund to the Customer for the product.
Customer satisfaction is our #1 goal, and we would be happy to assist, but we must follow all processes to ensure we properly assist Customers. The Customer has now been issued a refund for his product.

Once again you lied, I did respond and I added it to this conversation, I requested a refund, and I never heard back until today, and like I said I told the post office to refuse the package. So you have done absolutely nothing but drag your feet, it took over a month to get this item, then a few days to get it back to you, and like I said from the very beginning I never got this item. Midway USA is a horrible company..Initial Complaint
