« on: September 11, 2013, 01:59:24 PM »
Anyone ordered from them before? They have lot's of shipping options and I have no idea what some of them are. Is there such a thing as ground shipping? I only want to order a bipod rail adapter that weighs ounces.

UPS Mail Innovations (USPS Final Delivery) for $4.12
UPS Ground for $25.60
UPS Sure Post (USPS Final Delivery) for $26.79
UPS 2nd Day Air for $27.14
UPS Next Day Air for $36.90
Google it cause every question is a dumb question.

I always go with the cheapest option. I just put an order in a few days ago and I had the option of USPS for shipping.

Ground shipping is usually the cheapest if retailers don't offer other options, but like it says it travels on the ground from the warehouse/retailer to about California and then it will get put on a plane. Obviously takes longer, but usually no more than a week.

Fast is fine , accuracy is final

Cheapest way is ups mail inovations.  I've ordered plenty from them.  Sometimes takes 3 weeks to get my item, sometime takes 4 days.  It all depends on what ups selects to ship item when transfers to usps.

Just go ground.

I got my items within a week of shipping date.

Well I'd rather save $21.48 by choosing the cheapest method compared to ground. Problem is I never heard of the cheapest method. Not to mention that the item I want to buy is only $19.95 and weighs ounces.

Midway seems to be a little weird with shipping options. I usually have a USPS priority mail option. But other people only get ups. I don't understand. When shipping is too pricy or I am ordering something bulky or heavy like a press, I use brownells they still have flat rate. I payed like$17 to ship a reading big boss press.

Anything heavy midway ships flat rate, if it fits.  Normal light items ship ups innovations.  Ups innovations suck monkey balls because you never know when your getting your item.  Like I said between 4 days to 3 weeks.  When you call midway and ask why your package is sitting in Cali for 2 weeks they just say it is what it is.  Cs svc sucks but I deal with it because of good pricing.

Well that explains it. I always order bullets when I order anything else and bullets are heavy.

yeah, UPS innovations seems to always gets stuck in Richmond, CA.  If you are REALLY not in a rush to get what you ordered, then that is probably the best route to go.  I swear innovations must sometimes mail by boat.

Nowadays, I still use Midway but I will usually try Brownell's or Amazon first because their shipping is usually cheaper.   Midway's shipping seemed to have gotten more expensive during this past shortage scare.

ive ordered a couple of things from midway, pmags and camo. they are definitley not the cheapest when it comes to shipping here but i cant remember taking weeks or a month. I usually use amazon since im a prime member or cabelas as they usually will have a flat rate shipping coupon code or some promo and i know it will be here in a week. Bass Pro is the one that takes forever and comes on the boat. usually takes at least 3weeks. Last time they even sent me an email to review the product i purchased before i even received the product the shipping took so long lol

Good to know, had too many things get stuck in the black ho of Richmond.  Now I know to stay away from this innovations thing.

Have noticed Midway shipping has gone strange in recent months and have bought from Brownells instead to regain some sanity.

Call them as they may have more options. The black hole of Richmond,CA is the usps port for parcel post. They wait till a container is filled then send it on the boat to us. Sometimes takes 2 weeks, once it took my package 2 months to get here from Florida

Thank Brownells for staying with USPS Priority like Midway used to.  They have gotten all my recent business even though slightly more expensive.

At least I will get it in a reasonable time period. impatient lout that I am.
