I have ordered from them a bunch before, they are generally not the cheapest, but what I will give them one thing, they charge you ACTUAL shipping, not s&h&jackingoff rates. I just ordered 500rds of smk from them. Everyone else was cheaper at the 500 price, but they all wanted $25 for shipping, SERIOUSLY, Midway, $13.95? Wtf!? Now I remember why I use Midway.

Just a little rant, of how I get tired of getting it run into by companies that try to make profit off of usps priority shipping.

Brownells or Bust!!! they have the best shipping deal on anything right now. $0.99 with discount code. I just did a $1350 order and shipping for it was less than a buck. Midway did have 175SMK's for a bit less than brownells but adding shipping to the midway price they were cheaper at brownells. CWZ is the 99 cent shipping code for UPS ground. If you have an order small enough they charge less than $5 for USPS shipping. Midway will hang it off in you though. Start adding shit to your cart and watch it go up and up.

I wonder how they would ship it to me? We don't get UPS ground here on this island...
 
Re: MidwayUSA

You know there is cost in shipping, you have to pay for boxes, tape, your shipping software. You know that stuff all cost. It has to be passed on somehow. Big deal if they charge a buck or two extra to recoup the cost.
 
Re: MidwayUSA

I always find myself buying something from Midway and they are great in that the order is usually shipped that day. Their customer service dept. is excellent. I think they are a great company.

runner</div></div> I have to +1 on that. I can normally find what I want at Midway and more importantly - in stock at the moment I want it. I have never had an issue with Midway and my ordering goes back many-many years.

Yes, usps medium flat rate is $13ish. They wanted to charge me $25 for medium flat rate. I would say its a wee bit more than one or two bucks.

ammunitiontogo.com / bigdogammo.com is also another great site for ammunition. They have some great prices for bulk ammo purchases.

While I see loaded ammo on those sites I do not see bullets. Good sites for loaded though I guess next time I need 9mm or 45 I know where to go.
 
Re: MidwayUSA

I generally find that the shipping cost depends on the distance the item has to be shipped and the size and weight of the item. Make sure your comparing apples to apples. One company may be in the state next door and one may be across the country. Larger companies often have discount shipping rates over smaller ones as well.
