Anyone back order from Midway and Get their order?

[HangmanAV]

I ordered an Egyptian AK kit back in early January (1st or 2nd I believe). It was back ordered and I was ok with that, the price was worth the wait. A couple weeks ago I received an email saying they were canceling my order. I think I saw something about the AK kit being a "seasonal run"? I've been looking for other kits now and haven't found any near the price they had them at.

I'm with you bro... My backorder date didn't change but ( it changed) months behind..... I got 2 gen 2 plain Jane pmags and got put to the back of the line...

I don't have anything at midway on back order but Natchez suprised me. I ordered a couple thousand rounds of .22 and it showed up today. I ordered it less than 2 weeks ago. It was just Winchester M22 at $.06 a round after shipping. Higher than usual, but not too bad in these current times.

Update: Just got an email from Midway that they were shipping out half my order. 12.30 for pmags. Now that is a company I respect!

I just got an update for a backorder today as well 3/2 I made my order on 12/18
I'm getting 2 gen 2 pmags with sight window.

Ordered 2 lower parts kits and a 100 rd surefire mag on 12-31. Got a email last week saying the surefire mag is canceled. Parts kits still back ordered. Not sure why they would cancle a mag still being produced. They said it might be two years before back orders are filled blaming surefire.

I'd say surefire is back door selling there mags if they can't supply to a company as big as midway.

Yeah, I've gotten a couple emails this week as backordered items have been coming in. I'm waiting until my orders are all fullfilled before having Midway ship them though, to save on shipping.

TiN plated single stage trigger, (been back ordered since Jan 1st) now showing April 4th.

when it shows, it shows.

I ordered some mags on Dec. 29th and I still have yet to get them..

 

[Nick040905]

Hey I just got an email That my mags are finally shipping out. Only took 5 months lol!

I had a barrel on order for a few months. It never did come in so I cancelled the order.

Worked out good for me. A friend ordered 9mm dies and it was so long that he forgot about the order and found some somewhere else in the meantime. Then later on he got an email saying they shipped. Knew that I was looking for some and he sold them to me for what he paid plus shipping. I think he ordered them end of 2012 and just got them a couple weeks ago.

I got an email from Midway last Saturday at 2:05 AM to let me know that my backordered ammo was in. They required that I sign in to my original order and "put my items into the basket again" to let them know I still wanted them. By the time I woke up and logged in they were out of stock again.

Don't they understand back-order means send it when it comes in! If I wanted to cancel my order I would have.

Really?

I've backordered there lots of times and never had this issue... I would call them up and calmly and politely express your displeasure with the way your order was handled or, rather, not handled.

That said - I don't know of anybody else that has had this particular issue...

I stopped using Midway, the bigger they get the worse the service becomes.

I thought you only had to do that if part of your backorder was in and you wanted them to release the partial order? Further, if you wanted to wait until your full order came in, you didn't have to do anything and it would ship automatically.

Here's the text of the email I got:

We have great news! Some of the items you placed on backorder have arrived and we're holding them for you.

If you'd like us to ship what we have in stock, please sign in and visit your shopping cart to release these items. Once signed in, you'll see the items listed under the "Backordered Products Available to Ship" heading. Just add them to your cart, check out as usual and we'll ship them to you right away.

If you'd prefer to wait until everything arrives, you don't need to do anything as we will ship your entire backorder automatically once we can fill it complete.

I think they're trying to save you shipping charges by not trickling out your order as parts of it come in. I've had them send partial orders when I wanted them quicker; I've waited until the order was complete; and I've combined partial orders with new orders to go ahead and get the stuff and save on shipping.

 

[MikeDVB]

Now that makes more sense and seems to be in-line with how Midway operates.

Mea culpa. I went back and read their email, and that is how it was stated; though I think waiting for 3 types of ammo to be in stock simultaneously might make me wish I paid for the multiple shipping fees.
