I just got a crappy letter from MidwayUSA. They canceled the 2 surefire 100s I ordered back on Dec 19. I called and asked if they could substitute 60's for the 100's, however "their system doesn't allow that". I had 2 of each on backorder. I could have purchased 100's many times since I placed that order. I understand that somethings are out of their control, but how they handled this blows. Maybe it had something to do with the price they had them sold to me and everybody else, 125 each. I give them credit for not price gouging like those bastards at CtD, however not having an option other then saying sorry isn't the way I would have guessed for them to handle this. Lets see if they cancel the 60's once they see they have them sold at 90 each.
Am I just being just a whiny little bitch or do I have the right to be pissed off?
Whatever happens from here, Brownells will be getting a bigger percentage of my gun/fun $ from now on.
