21 now. Thanks for the heads up!
I stopped ordering anything from Midway that is on clearance and basically pulled all my business from them in general.
I have found these clearance products are often inventory clean outs with incomplete factory packaging, blems, overruns, returns, or other nonsense.
The price break they give the buyer doesn't offset this bullshit.
Ordered two clearance Noveske barrels from them and they showed up rolling around loose in a midway cardboard box with no factory Noveske paper or factory black bubble wrap around them. They were immediately returned. They did not refund my original shipping charge and honestly midway has become a bunch of deceptive liars.
They are the wal-mart of the gun world.
I haven't had an issue with them, but I'll take a good look at the item when it gets to me. Thanks for the heads up Scott.
I also ordered a Samson rail for a project and the rail was obviously a return from another customer. It had installation marks on it. The staples which held the factory plastic blister pack together were removed/missing.
It got sent back and of course my original shipping charge was not refunded. I debated on disputing it with my CC company.
Also, if you order a Colt upper from them, they can't be bothered to place it into another box. They stick the UPS label on the factory blue/white Colt box. Received a number of uppers from them with the front sight ears poking out of the box.
Also ordered a Aimpoint Micro about 5 years ago. They placed the Aimpoint with factory box in a padded envelope instead of a cardboard box. A $700 optic. Luckly, the Aimpoint box was not crushed.
Let me tell you the difference between midway and Brownells.
Brownells: If I have an issue, I can immediately get a manager on the phone which has decision making authority to make a situation right. They look me up on their computer and see how much business I have given them. I don't get the run round. I have never received damaged product from them. They also box everything in a plain box and do not use the factory packaging as the shipping container.
Midway: I call with a issue, and I get a $12/hr college age girl that has no clue about anything, with no authority to make a decision. I get the run around on the phone and they act like I am at fault with no options to resolve a problem they caused. I do not get my original shipping refunded if I return something.
Brownells has their Edge program with free shipping both ways, and their dealer program. I don't know why anyone would order anything from midway.
The next time I have an issue with midway, I will open a CC dispute and keep the item. It seems to be the only action which would get their attention.
Wow that's really bad. I used to order a lot of my reloading supplies from them and I never had an issue. I just got a COLT upper from G and R and it had the COLT Box in another box.
I've never had a problem. Ordered the clearance R1 from them like in 2010 or something for $299 and it was just an end of model run, brand new, in box, and all Aimpoint accessories.

I consider you a credible source of information, and that isn't something I say often on the internet. I appreciate your input on this, and will not use them.
I bought one from Midway, afterwards I found the same deal on Amazon but says shipping is 2-4 weeks out.

Hopefully all is well ordering from Midway. I haven't had any bad experiences but I trust your reviews have been factual. Fingers crossed.

Before I order anything from midway, I ask myself if I care if it gets shipped loose in a bubble wrap envelope, with holes in it. My chargemaster was packaged well though. Any small item I know better be tough.
Wolff springs smashed, reamers reamed themselves out of package, etc. I understand trying to save a buck in shipping. I sometimes order small stuff just to see if it will even make it. It is bad when the Mrs. even notices the poor packaging.

Exactly my experience.

4 orders recently all thrown in bubble pak envelope. Two of the orders had broken plastic boxes in them.
They threw a $100 box of lapua cases in a bubble pack and shipped it!
