Midway USA

[DAA1]

Well I made my annual purchase from Midway again, I figure it is the one time a year to buy all those things I been thinking about and those nice to have items that you always want, but never buy them when they are on sale.

I try and make sure I use that birthday coupon every year, because the savings are sure nice. So for all the emails and catalogs I get from them, I hope they realize I do buy some stuff from them, maybe not as often as they want me to, but when I do it adds up.

They do seem to be one of the better companaies out there for shooting supplies and stuff.

I buy from them periodically and consider them to be top notch.

I buy from them occassionally too and they have always been one of the better large companies out there. I love the competition range bag I bought from them for 39.00. For the features & options, it was definatly the best for the price.

+1 on Midway USA. I have bought alot of stuff from them over the years. I like dealing with a company that gives so much back to the shooting sports. Never had a problem with them.

I use them and Midway is great! Optics planet for a few things and they are great! I use Brownell's also and have had great dealings with them! Apex and DSA are some others that are great to do business with! So is robertrtg.com/ bought a ton from him!

Midway is probably my favorite place to shop for gun stuff. Their dealer pricing is awesome on most stuff, anything else you can use monthly coupon codes. When does the birthday coupon come out? I have had almost a year in Iraq planning and plotting my next builds and upgrades. My excel sheet has way too many parts on it for my wife's comfort. Oh, their shipping is super fast too.

When you set up your account they ask for a date of birth, then a week out they send you an email with a link to your account that loads birthday pricing on everything on the site for a one time purchase only. You have a week to browse then prior to midnight on your birthday you can make one and only one purchase with those prices.

I figure on a $500.00 purchase I saved ount 20% or more. They won't give you birthday prices on top of sale prices, but for items they never run on sale it is like getting sale prices on almost everything.

My strategy was to compare the website prices and the sale prices from the current and past flyer, then add in all the things I wanted to my wish list, including a few sale items, then logging out, going to the email they sent me last week and clicking the link and logging in with birthday pricing. I thought it was a significant difference in price, though maybe not as good as dealer pricing, but enough that I bought a few items I had my eye on. Like a laser training system and some chip mccormick mags along with a lot of other odds and ends. The double end cleaning brushes, box of 50 for 42.49 is less than a dollar a piece and versus the 3 for 5.00 is a great deal.

Make sure your account options have your birthday set, yes midway sends a ton of emails, but for the prices the non dealer can get once a year is worth it. Just don't delete the birthday email when it comes. I like that they ship fast, let you know what is in stock and a reasonable on their shipping, plus the NRA roundup means a little change to the endowment.

I see the owner, Larry Potterfield on commercials during the "The American Rifleman" TV show and he genuinely seems like a nice guy.

Back when I got my C&R I sent them a copy in hopes of getting discounts. A few months ago I was looking to buy some park solution and they had the best price. After I logged in at checkout they added a fee to the price ($10?) because they have minimum $ purchases for dealers. The fee made the solution more expensive than everyone else. I was unable to buy the solution without being "fined" so just bought it direct from the manufacturer.
Note that the price for the product did not raise before or after I logged in, they just added a "minimum order fee" because I am in their system as a dealer. Now I just delete their promotional emails.
