I am pretty easy going with vendors but I will never buy pellets from Midway again. I ordered 10 tins a couple of years ago and they arrived with no protective packaging, just thrown in a box, and every tin was mashed. I called and they refused to do anything about it unless I opened each tin, sorted the pellets, and gave them a count of actually how many individual pellets were mashed.

I had been a Midway customer for four or more decades. No more.

Good luck!

I got some pellets with the Avenger I bought from Midway and they were fine but they were packed with the rifle. I think I ordered some later that were poorly packed. But I know I got some Baracuda Match like these (except for the Match part) from Amazon that came in dented tins. I opened one and the pellets looked OK. So I shot a 30 yard challenge target with them and they were fine. I like the Match better and have plenty right now or I'd take a chance on these, I think. I like to see pellets packed well but I am not longer confident that a dented tin = damaged pellets. I also ordered a JSB assortment from Amazon before getting my P35 in 22. I had to send at least 3 "tins" back because the pellets were damaged. The assortments came in a plastic container and it was fine but the pellets were not. Fortunately the fourth shipment was fine and still arrived before the gun. So I've seen it both ways. I like PAs foam squares but bubble wrap has been used effectively on some shipments. But sometimes it seems like some vendors don't really care (like PA and Midway).

When I seen the deal before I posted, I went ahead and placed an order. I purchased an entire case (hopefully (50 tins). I purchased 40 tons before from PA, and I was sent a full case -10 tins. From what I understand and seen a case is 50 tins, shrink wrapped in 5's. This is the way the factory packages them, so it should be good.

I bought 10 tins — tracking puts it at a Saturday delivery, guess I’ll find out.

I’ve been a Midway customer since well before the internet age, the days of the monthly flyer that was actually worth something. Never had a problem.

 

[charlie99]

Well I received my shipment from midway. Not even close to my expectations in regards to packaging. All 50 tons were loose in a flat rate box. Some tons are dented, but even the most damaged ones, the pellets in them seem just fine with no dents

 

[Heavyopp]

Mine showed up too. 10 tins. Ups had their way with the box as they always do. 7 out of 10 tins damaged. I did get some packing paper but it did nothing.

 

[charlie99]

A few of mine had a little more damage than yours, but upon opening the worst one the pellets in mine at least were undamaged.

 

[Heavyopp]

I did send midway an email expressing my disappointment with their packaging. I don’t expect anything to come of it.

I bought a couple of tins last month from Midway and both tins had multiple dents. I think there weren’t many trashed pellets but some were. Clearly they don’t know anything about packing pellets. I will stick to airgun vendors for my ammo.

A couple of years back I ordered ammunition for firearms from Midway. The box arrived with loose rounds jingling around. Called customer service and they sent me another box packed exactly the same way. I don’t purchase pellets or ammunition from them.

They are good place for buying scopes, really good return policy.

 

[Struckat]

They don’t get it and they don’t care. I cut them from my list a while back.

Amazon is just as bad. I once ordered 10 tins of the vortex supreme 30 cals(man I miss those!) and what should’ve came packed in a box the size of 8”x 8” x 10” length, came instead in a box the size that a full size set of work boots would come in, and no padding or bubble wrap whatsoever. 8 out of the 10 tins had opened and pellets were loose inside the box. One quick call to customer service had me another 10 shipped, which came in the same sized box, no padding, just dented tins that never busted open.

From my experiences, the vendors that I have bought Ammo from that take care of the packing to ensure I got pristine shaped tins were-
Trenier
PA
Utah AG
Field Supply
Hatsan

Out of those, I would say Trenier really goes out of his way to pack them well. Each tin is individually packaged in a padded lined envelope, and each envelope properly stacked. Looks like a lot of work, and is why he’ll always get my business

Stopped ordering from midway ages ago. Potterfield is in it for the profit now. His sale prices were everybody elses regular prices.

I also ordered from Amazon some crosman pellets. The box came all beat up with a hole in it with one tin missing and 9 damaged. Contacted customer support and they sent me 10 replacement tins. The replacement were also loose in the box.
