4hr round trip today to go to Midwest Industries and purchase a lower to finish my second build.  Got there just to see an empty parking lot and a closed sign on the front door because of the holiday weekend. Checked their website before I left and didn't see anything posted about being closed today.

lol  yeah.  I know.   I looked up nelson tactical, and they are open all thru the holiday weekend.  I've been there before, but never to M.I.  M.I's Website had a notice of closed on Sep 20 and 27, but nothing about the holiday hrs so I figured maybe they'd be open.   Ohh well.  Stopped at Cabelas on the way home, and picked up a Magpul CTR just to use some points I had racked up.

That's less than professional. Very "mom and pop.

They were always closed today, Sunday.

 



I agree, a note on the website would be nice. There is a note about the two Saturdays they are closed in September.

I've done that before, but on a saturday, and learned to call ahead. Next time your in the area, give them another shot. You won't be disappointed by the customer service, especially if you deal with Pete.

Good to know lol...I don't have many weekends off so I don't visit these places much on weekends, I guess I should check their hours on their website.

I went down there yesterday (saturday).

I understand it is a holiday weekend but not to have their weekend closing listed on the website is kind of a disappointment since most people use the interwebz to look up phone numbers and addresses anyway.   I'll try again next Saturday.  I usually work later than their normal weekday open hours so the weekends are the only time I have.

All it takes is a simple phone call asking if their open.

Exactly.

So you're saying it would also be beneficial to call ahead first to see if everything I need is in stock, instead of just logging onto their website to find that information?

Someday we might even have portable phones that fit in cars, or hell (don't make fun of me for being too sci-fi) in a pocket even,  so we don't have to be at home or a payphone to make that call!

Anything is possible I guess.
