Howard 538 Posted September 25, 2014 I have always called UPS the ammo Fairy as they deliver ammo right to my front door. Well tonight the alternate ammo fairy (FedEx) showed up. They finally delivered the order I placed on July 10th - yea it got put on backorder a few times. But at only 4.9 cents a round who am I to complain: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MongoX 0 Posted September 26, 2014 Howard, i absolutely love your photography, and find you an insightful and valued member of this community. posting a pic of reasonably priced 22lr is not acceptable. care to share your source? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted September 26, 2014 It was one of those web deals that was there for about 25 seconds from Sportsman's Guide. I quick placed the order and then said I should get more and when I went back it was gone. Then I got the email it was back ordered and figure I would never see it. But each time they sent an em asking if I wanted to cancel I said no, and it finally just showed up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other stuff yeah, but not .22. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brucin 923 Posted September 28, 2014 I've been waiting for a back order from Midway since January. A bucket of Rem golden bullets for $64. Someday maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brucin 923 Posted October 2, 2014 I think I am waiting on the same order! Did you get the update e-mail in August telling you that it's still not in stock? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brucin 923 Posted October 8, 2014 Well my order from 9/30 is marked as shipped but UPS didn't pick it up yet. My guess is a 10/18 delivery after the usual 5 day layover in Hodgkins IL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted October 10, 2014 I've been waiting for a back order from Midway since January. A bucket of Rem golden bullets for $64. Someday maybe. Waiting on a case of Federal 36 HP since january too... keep getting e-mails to make sure my credit card on file will still work. I was surprised they had the cases up for backorder... but it didnt last too long.. and they don't even sell them by the 10 pack anymore. Fingers crossed, it would put me in the green for 22lr for at least 3 years, still working on the last case i bought 3 years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered .22lr from them in 1962 and am still waiting to be notified. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobertJames 14 Posted October 13, 2014 I too placed a (back)order for .22's in December from Midway. They keep reminding me that my card is going to expire soon, but still no guesstimate as to when it will be in stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sof 0 Posted October 14, 2014 Same here only I ordered from Midway in August of 2013 for mini-mags and before the card expires, they give you a chance to update the expiration date. They then confirm the order as still valid and still on backorder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brucin 923 Posted October 18, 2014 I was off by one day. My 9/30 order arrived today. Freedom Munitions is a very good company if you don't need the product quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted October 18, 2014 I have generally gotten extremely prompt service from Targetsportsusa.com. They had a good deal on 9mm ammo last week, so I ordered some on Thursday and it was my porch on Saturday. They seem to have good prices, and always provide free shipping on case orders. I know some have mentioned having problems with them, but I have ordered from them a lot and have never had any issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
