MidwayUSA Powder -- New Facility, Non-Availability

[ExPiney]

Maybe I'm not using their site correctly, but it seems like Midway has zero powders which seems odd. Anyone else notice this?

 

[dantiff2]

It's been a couple days like that now. The first time that I've ever seen them not have something odd on-hand.

 

[Creedmoor02]

Noticed the same thing only for me it says temporarily unavailable, instead of out of stock…

 

[divingin]

It also looks like they're redoing their website, so maybe they haven't gotten all the pages up yet?

 

[krhuntin]

they had a bunch, like probably 11 different powders on monday. I placed an order and all was good.

 

[coop2564]

Hasn't worked for me since monday.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Not here either and the availability box selection is gone too. No primers have been available for some time either, and I have been worried which direction this company is headed.

An important message from MidwayUSA New Arrivals | Sale & Clearance | Rebates | My Account​ Dear Valued Customer, Thanks to you, we’ve experienced tremendous growth in our business volume and number of products we offer. A couple of years ago, we projected we’d soon be out of space, so we started the largest project in company history. We’re now in the final stages of moving our Distribution Center about 5-miles down the road to a new facility, just west of Columbia, MO. Our new Distribution Center is 400,000 square feet, with plenty of room for expansion. The unique new NITRO Express® Shipping System we’re installing consists of brand-new state-of-the-art equipment. This new system will be faster, more accurate and more efficient than our previous system. The conveyor and product storage/retrieval speed will allow us to receive and ship products faster, meaning we’ll get products in stock quicker and your orders will arrive sooner. Increased accuracy comes from precisely picking every order and verifying the correct weight with a high-tech scale to ensure no mistakes were made. Increased efficiency comes from custom building precisely sized cartons for each order, reducing the average box size by over 30%, meaning there is less room for products to shift in transit and become damaged. The remaining area (void) in the cartons is filled with one of three different types of materials, depending on the characteristics of each order, resulting in intact deliveries. We’re building the best package possible – extremely accurate, efficient, and durable! We’ll be completely done with our inventory and operational transition in about 2-weeks. During that time, your order may take a few days longer than normal and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes. I hope you enjoy the results of our new NITRO Express® Shipping System. Thanks so much for being a valued MidwayUSA Customer! Matt Fleming, President & CEO

Just means their prices are going up.

Having seen the new and old facility, it's much larger than previous.

 

[Dub]

the old facility was pretty large

I believe that I am correct in saying that there were regulations preventing them from storing large quantities of powders at their old facility. I wonder if they will be able to have them at the new facility?

 

[PhilC]

Coincidence? I ordered a couple non-hazmat items Sunday afternoon so they shipped USPS flat rate envelope via "Nitro Shipping" which has been anything but "nitro fast" for me.

Order confirmation same day, shipping notification Monday with expected delivery date of 3/16. Checked status this morning and tracking shows items arrived at local USPS distribution center 11:20pm last night and are out for delivery today. Shocked to see that!

Doesn't say they're going to package stuff better...

 

[Ranger188]

Actually it does.

I got lucky and got a 8# 8208 from them last week. It came double boxed and arrived in good shape.
