Site Experience FeedbackOct 7, 2025
Website is easy to use. Marketing isn’t over the top in your annoying some other sites. Y’all seem to not use the gimmicky “Buy now because prices will never be this low again!!!” infomercial sales adds. I think the man that founded Midway USA seems very cool and genuine. Y’all have an outstanding inventory and seem to keep items in stock. Your hazmat fee is fair compared to others. Your checkout process is a breeze.
Those were things that were just off the top of my head, I’m sure I could sit down and put together a more comprehensive list of positives.
Here is my gripe and something that has kept me from buying from Midway on several occasions. You guys are huge. I would wager that you’re probably bigger than the next two competitors combined. I’m sure that you guys buy so much product from manufacturers that your overhead, item for item is probably less than any of your competitors. I say all of this for this point, your initial prices could be much lower than they are. And I’m speaking primarily on firearms, ammo, hunting, shooting , and reloading. Alot of time when you guys have a sale or a discount on an item, all it does is drop it to the normal price that a lot of other places are selling it for. And I’m not talking about your main competitors I’m talking about smaller places online that you have to spend tons of time to research and find in order to be able to get a decent deal on powders, primers, bullets and other reloading supplies. You guys move a ton of product, there’s no doubt about it. But if you would do something as simple as lower your profit margins on reloading supplies you’d have every reloader in the US coming to buy every item they purchase directly from you instead of price shopping it all out. If Lester Bruno can make it work with as small as he is, you guys can make it work. You’d corner the reloading market and while those reloaders are on your site buying their essentials, they’re going to buy other items from you even if they’re more expensive than other sites without even price checking because of the convenience of placing one order. Your free shipping, fair hazmat price, 20% off coupon code and selection is why I ordered from you today. Even though the 20% off just got your price down to what other smaller sites sale for it was convenient and shipped free so I made the purchase. There are Reddit forums, FB Pages, search engines and discord sites dedicated to finding the lowest price on reloading equipment because it’s gotten that expensive and to save 20 dollars on 5 items people are scouring every option out there in order to get a fair price.
In short. Match Lester Bruno on powder prices, Match Redriver reloading on Bullet prices, do what you want with Brass prices, make your sale price for primers the regular price, because that’s what they are at 90% of other smaller sites and do the reloading community a solid. It’s a growing community that would benefit greatly from you guys making just a few adjustments here and there on pricing.
