I made a stop into Midwest a week or two ago and received the normal "delayed" service.. this I have come to expect. What really upset me was the pricing I got when talking to an employee about ordering a pistol.
I've been jonesing over Five-Seven for a while, and wanted to order one in FDE. I stopped in, they happened to have a used one in black, so I asked to handle it. I was surprised to see that their price for the used Five Seven was more than I could buy it for new... But I put this behind me as I've been getting rather good deals there since I've spent several grand over the past couple years. After confirming that I like the way it felt, I let the salesman (who I've never dealt with before.. ) know that I was interested in ordering a new one in FDE. He spent a bit of time looking it up (never did ask me if I wanted the fixed or adjustable sights) and finally came back with a rather large price. (Over $1100) -- I told him there was no way I was going to spend that much ordering it from them when I could save a couple hundred by picking it up online. Had this been anyone else that I've dealt with there, I would've gotten a good price up front. But for whatever reason, he decided to high ball me, and never offered to see what he could do.
Did I mention that they also wanted 100% down on the order? Not sure if that's their normal policy as I've ordered a couple guns from the Elkhart store w/o having to paying 100% upfront.
