I bought two tins of pellets from them that arrived today-just stuck in a LIGHTLY padded envelope with no other padding and nothing to separate them from banging into each other. Both tins were dented up and one won't even close properly now.
Don't buy pellets from Midway
- Thread starter egd
- Start date
thats alittle harsh .. i wouldnt blame a whole site for the packing practices of one idiot lol .. its probably some hot little number with blue hair, clueless, and about as dumb as the day is long lol ...

I have had the same thing happen to me except I ordered 10 tins ! They were thrown in a bubble envelope.
Their customer service response was are the pellets damaged ???
I said I haven't opened any, they said open 1 up and check, I said no damage to pellets.
They were done after that !
I still order from them I just know not to expect undamaged pellet tins !!

I caught one of Bozo's dim witted pitching a package containing three tins of H&N pellets like she/it/them was pitching horse shoes. Needless to say I dressed that little lass down and quite possibility caused some serious emotional damage. Hope that the Bozo medical plan covers the required years of serious couch time that maybe needed to repair the damage?

I bought several boxes of firearm ammo from them a few years ago. They arrived box open inside the outer box, loose rounds rolling around in the box. They sent a replacement packaged exactly the same. I wouldn’t count on them packing them better.

Just got one tin from them another on the way. Tin that arrived packaged the same and did have a small dent in lid. The pellets weren't damaged but I bought 17.13 gr H&N Silver Point because I wanted to try in my Dream Tact Compact which loves JSB 15.89 andFX15.9. The Silver points were all over the place! To high, to low off to the side. So it was wasted $$

Only ordered pellets from them once, but was the same.. just in a bubble mailer and dented to heck.
Ive ordered parts and firearm ammo from them several times, every single time it comes just placed in a box with (if you are lucky) a couple of those inflatable bubble things in there with them. shotgun ammo was always lose and rolling around, which doesnt bother me too much.. I only buy ammo from them when it was a super good deal, looks like those days are long gone so dont need to worry about that anymore.
I dont even click on midway website anymore when it pops up in search, rather order from literally anywhere else.
I have learned my lesson and will ONLY order pellets from an air gun shop online, they know what they are doing and will quickly replace anything damaged without going through 1000 hoops with someone who has never seen an air gun. If you want to see good shipping, order some slugs from NSA sometime. The slugs are placed tightly in a extra-thick clear bag, wrapped in a foam sheet, placed in a small cardboard box just big enough for it all to fit, then that box is wrapped in bubble wrap/foam, then placed in a bigger box with again hardly any room to move before being shipped out priority mail. I was very impressed when I first saw this

It's all that darned blue headed girls fault for sure. I think the ends of her hair were pink. What are we going to do about this? Maybe someone can send them a link to this thread maybe it would help if they knew how people were talking about them.

No, it's a pattern.
+1 on what he said.
See "pattern" above.
I buy lots of firearm parts and supplies from Midway. Have for decades. Packing is not their strong point, as has been correctly stated above. Bought pellets there once. Never again. Stick with PA or Trenier.

I wouldn’t order pellets or ammo from Midway, but they will take returns on scopes that have been mounted. Odoyle was right about them being “risk free” for scope returns.

This has been discussed regarding Midway..
If you want pristine pellets, don’t buy from Midway, Sportsman Outdoors, or Amazon.
Your best bets which I know are PA, AOA, and Trenier. Now with that said, PA Has had spotty shipping as of late. Most likely due to a pandemic foam shortage.

I don't think I'm being harsh. Even that blue haired girl should have enough common sense to see that was not a good way to ship something. I know they must have plenty of bubble wrap and such close at hand in a shipping department. Like was said, I guess it's a pattern. Well now I know too.

I had damaged pellets and complained and they sent a replacement which was also damaged and then they got tired of helping I guess. Should have been more rude

Though i agree with your gripe, u also cant argue with them being done when u said they werent damaged.
i did alot of things growing up in the 70’s and 80’s in which people would call dangerous or stupid. IM STILL ALIVE! LOL...all that matters to me.

Midway is kinda funny... rifle sized box with bold Midway USA print on it leaning against the front door doesn't scream take me does it?
Anyway, I keep ordering CPHP 177's from Amazon 4 at at time whenever I see them at $5.28. WORST packing ever but still worth it for CO2 pistols and reserve supply.

Exactly. And I've had similar results with pellet purchases from WalMart, Sports Academy, and others. Less than good packing but a cost that often can't be beat.

Replying to an old thread. I just got six tins ofH&N .177 and 4 of .22 from Midway. Tins stacked. scattered around box with crumpled brown paper for packing. Several tins dented, but not bad. They need to get their shipping/packaging depts together.

My order shipped on July 9, last USPS tracking was July 14... Contacted Midway who said wait until July 30 for them to reship or refund the order. Hoping for the best
