It was the slowest website of all time on the planet. Lets see if it moves up a few notches in the ranking.

The original may not have been catchy looking but I hardly ever saw a coding mistake on it. I emailed the company owner a few months back after encountering lots of problems with the new site and he stated it was an ongoing process. I tried it last night and saw bugs so I guess they are still working on it.

In case they are computer illiterate I laid it all out for them about needed more bandwidth, servers etc. I explained how lame the site is and how it is costing them a lot of lost orders by the web site freezing up ect. THis is what we got. Pretty sad, no competence in the technology dept at all.

Looks different but still extremely slow. I went there today and did a search for an item and 8 pages came up. It would have taken forever to go through all 8 pages, so I said hell with it and ordered the item from another company.

The sad thing is, their website worked just fine until they "upgraded" it around a year and a half ago.

just took 25 seconds to load a search for RCBS, still slow as hell
but on the suggestion from someone here, use Opera with turbo mode, it works really well |

I think the owner should take the web designer and slap him around. That web site is cosmetically pretty, but so inefficient compared to the old version. They lost a lot of business from me due to that. Brownells upgraded their website and it's just as good or better than before.. why can't Midway do the same.

It doesn't seem to render very well in google chrome either. Not only is it slow the layout comes out all weird.

I think their website sucks, it's not fast and not a great looking site either
 I also always feel violated by their outrageous shipping prices, I buy from everyone else first, if they don't have it I go to Midway

Holy cow, who knew they could make it worse? After reading this thread down to here, I went off to see how the Midway site worked for me.
WWW Range Report: Search as painfully slow as ever. The second page of my search results was unreadable so I gave the URI to the W3C code validator to see if I could spot what was wrong. 667 Errors on that one page, I ain't that interested. I was really expecting better after reading an email posted here recently that improving the web site was their #1 priority. I love doing business with Midway, but damn, they sure make it hard to do. |

Click / Stop that stupid flash player at the top of the page and it helps, at least with scrolling.

Got to love the southern belles in Johnson City.

I think they sped up the search engine, but the clicking of the product still seem really long time to come up (like before)

They do a good job shipping. Placed a order on Wednesday at noon. Shows out for delivery today (Friday) with standard ground UPS. MO to SC in two days.

I guess that's why they're "Midway" in the "USA" But yeah, shipping has always been pretty fast for me to TX. Fastest though seems to be vendors in TN, like Natchez, I guess they go straight and quickly through the UPS and FEDEX hubs nearby.

Some of you may have missed Brownell's first web site. I have no doubt it spurred catalog sales as it was close enough to useless. Sinclair's site was horrible for years for locating anything, but improved slightly after Brownell's bought the company. I have no problems with Brownell's site now.
Go look around sites such as MSC, KBC Tools, or McMaster-Carr, and you won't think Midway's is so bad. |

Graf' and Sons is a fast website, only guessing where to go in their menu system is like shooting craps. I had to send Kim an email to see if they were going to carry the RCBS Bullet Feeder I wanted. She emailed me the part # within 2 hours, and using that I went quickly and straight to the proper page and ordered it at a good price. But try to find it using the menus....it's not there; I've been through them all. I imagine that that's the case for some other products as well. One thing I like about Grafs, aside from their "shipping rate," and prices, is that they're small enough to give personal friendly service. Not that I have the need often, but they're one of the few outlets that also carry Dillon. (I may end up with their swager yet)

Way too many false positives, and half the time I can't find something that I KNOW they have. Using Google to search Brownells site works better than Brownell's search engine.
At least their site is fast. Midway's has been unusably slow since the "upgrade" a year and a half ago, and the new search function sucks hind tit compared to the old one. |

while we're on the subject of midway...
they really need to revamp their packaging "system". adding a handfull of styrofoam peanuts or an airpack to a boxfull of small heavy items doesn't cut it. if you order an item like an rcbs power trimmer or case prep station, they just slap a label on the factory box and send it on it's way. i've received items with the product poking through the box. i order from graf's every time they have what i want in stock. they will bullet proof your order by putting eveything in wrapping paper and sealing it in a shipping carton. they have always been my go to place. are you listening midway? |
