      Interesting that he just cancelled my backorders on cases of 22LR that are over a year old, when they said they never cancel backorders. Seems he had rather bust open the cases and sell it at a higher price these days.

          There are several things that can cause a back order from Midway to cancel. Like maybe your debit card expired. But I doubt that it was due to " busting open the cases and sell it at a higher prices" Have you asked them?

            Might wanna check your spam folder. He has sent me 3 different emails about a 22lr backorder I have with them offering first dibs on some 22lr that might be a suitable "close second"... I accepted a couple of them and still have a backorder on some other stuff with them.

              It's all over the web that they are doing it. They whacked mine this week. Card expires in 2018.

                Never got anything like this. Spam folder checked daily. Get regular emails from them.

                    email i received...

                    Eric,

                    Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get the following product from the vendor:

                    Federal Champion Target Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 36 Grain Plated Lead Hollow Point Case of 5250 (10 Boxes of 525)
                    Product #: 498162

                    From Invoice #21916013
                    Created on 12/18/2013
                    Card: Visa-***x
                    Card Expires: 08/31/2018

                    Please click the products above to see the current availability if you wish to order again. If you have any other backorders pending, please be sure you have a current, valid card with sufficient funds associated with the invoice.

                    We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and look forward to doing business with you in the future.

                    _____________________________________________


                    I have seen them sell this product in singe pack quantities since my backorder for the case was placed. Larry is in the same boat as CTD in my book now.

                      Pure speculation there.

                        It's on the Internet so it has to be true.

                          Speculation? It just happened to me. Cancelled my backorder for a case, but have sold single pack quantities since, and single pack quantities are listed on their site right now (limit of 2) for a higher price (out of stock of course because no 22LR last more than 5 mins under .08 a round). Yeah, speculation

                            Yep speculation. You contend that they are breaking apart "bricks" and selling individual boxes. Do you REALLY think a place as big as Midway with a fully automated order filling system is doing this?

                            You do know that they actually make 50 round boxes, right?

                            Could it just POSSIBLY be that the manufacturers aren't packaging bulk packs but are packaging 50/100 round packs?

                            I know that's about all I can find in stock around here and I'm not interested in buying those.

                              I didn't say they were breaking apart "bricks". One of my cancelled backorders was for a case of 10 Federal 525 bulk packs, 5,250 rounds. They still sell the 525 packs, but not in a case quantity. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/439...ProductFinding

                                can't stand them………but people keep doing business with them for some unknown reason.
