I placed an order around 1:30am from Midway USA.  At 8:00am I received the email below.  The fuck are they talking about.  Florida is now outside of the US.  I am going to call them to find out why the fuck they canceled the order.  


****

Thank you for your recent order. I'm very sorry, MidwayUSA does not ship directly or indirectly outside of the United States. Because of this we have cancelled your order, the pending authorization will drop, or your charges will be reversed. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you

I have found the company is geographically challenged.

I lived about 50-miles from Los Angeles but that was close enough for them to stop mail-ordering ammo to me about 20-years ago.

Los Angeles forbids mail-order ammo, the other 57-counties do not.

Did You have a vpn on that was outside the country?

Optics planet freaked out when I bought a scope online from Afghanistan. Then freaked out even harder because I was shipping it to my dads work that had “international” in the business name

Yes, people from Missouri think all of CA is Los Angeles. So that ads up. I also try to spell is Las Angelas until spell checker catches it. If you capture a town, rename it something in your language.

Let me see if I understand this.

You screamed "they lost a customer " before you contacted them?

They probably don't mind.

That may be part of it. They have to be very cautious about ITAR violations, and Miami is a popular place to ship stuff out from the US. You buy a lot of stuff, so it sets off the algorithm.

Ordered with my "Birthday Pricing" last night. Actually saved over 10% between a few Lyman M dies, bunch of MTM ammo boxes and a few other odds and ends to hit the free shipping at $99.

They told me I had to replace my order.

STAFF/MODS, close thread as the issue appears to have been resolved.


One thing for sure, I will not be using Midway as my go to anymore.  Fuck them, how does the saying go? "Fuck me once shame on you, Fuck me twice, shame on me".

They've paused orders I've placed in the past that were high dollar to verify the purchase, and recently paused an order of some basic gun maintenance stuff I sent to a relative in MA because I had placed an order for myself in ME that included magazines and ammo the day prior, but that's all stuff that gets cleared up in a 2 minute phone call

I had Optics Planet cancel an Aimpoint on me. I ordered with a VPN running, and got the ole “We don’t ship this shit out of country” email, even though it was being shipped to CONUS. Called and couldn’t get it resolved, and had to set up a second account to order it AND NOT USE THE VPN whilst doing so.
