Has anyone else had trouble recently with USPS shipments coming from Midway?
I have two different projectile shipments hung up. One is in the Columbia MO USPS facility since the 12th with a note saying "The acceptance of your package is pending." The other has twice bounced back and forth between Columbia & St Louis.
Am I special or is this happening to anyone else?

Yes, I've found delivery from everyone but Europtics is VERY slow. Worst has been Optics Planet on an exchange. I finally had them just credit my return, cancel my exchange. Rings are on the way from Europtics today.
I've got bullets coming from Someone and a couple places, Giraurd Trimmers are shutting down till after New Years.
As far as bouncing around, yes, I had a Nightforce NX8, tour the country on its way to me but it wasn't that bad.

I've got several packages coming from various places through USPS and they are all late. None of them are ammo and none are from Midway USA though. I think that USPS is just knee deep in alligators this time of year.

I had the same thing, was hung up for 5 days before before showing any progress.

I have about 13 orders out from different suppliers, Midways the only one behind schedule and when I ordered they “Had” products but after a week of no progress I was told their expecting items in January. I’m positive their showing/telling people they have items when they clearly don’t. It’s not a big deal to me but I’m not sure why their not honest and just say backordered.
Acceptance of package pending equals they don’t have the products..
As for as the USPS, I think different regions are effected differently, I’ve not seen any delays with them so far. I give them mad props for their awesome work during crazy times!!

Everyone I have ordered from lately has done well except Bath and Body Works. They took weeks to ship my order that's actually only coming from Grapevine. I just ordered some stuff from Midway. We'll see how it goes. The USPS on the other hand has FAILED over and over for me in the last three months.
Pass the gravy.

I've had my migraine meds from the VA sitting in a distribution site since the 10th. Local postmaster has contacted them twice with no response. Called the VA and as long as it's still in the "system" they won't overnight another script. If it was gun related I'd just say oh well I'll have to wait. Be glad it's not something essential.

Ordered from Midway yesterday morning, about 3 hours later got a shipment alert but it's UPS. Time will tell, but Wednesday is projected.

I suspect USPS is the main problem. Ordered from Midway a couple of weeks ago and had it in two days. Sams, eBay, Amazon, everybody I’ve dealt with the last couple of weeks has been 1-2 days under projected delivery day. I’m going to go buy a lottery ticket now!

I had an order from a supplier in Colorado that took 4 weeks to come in around the election. Tracking numbers showed it was actually shipped on time but it seemed to sit for 4-5 days at each USPS location along its route. It was painful because it was 2K pieces of 9mm brass that I was sorely wanting to load.

I have ordered from Midway twice in the last month. Both times, all products were delivered to my door within about 4 days.

You guys think midway is slow, you should order from optics planet. My last three orders took Over 3 weeks and the one before that a month and everything was in stock. Usually takes a few days just to fulfill the order and then a few days to ship. Then at least a week for the tracking number to actually show the package moving so they must sit on it. Awful shipping! But I get a good discount lol.

Have had no issues with Midway. UPS and Fedex no prob but USPS thats another story. Had a holster go from Clarksville TN (NW of Nashville) to Nash then to a tiny town SE of Nash, back to Nash. Then on to me in Marble Falls. Took extra week from when tracking was promised. About 11 days for a 3 day mailer. But they got all those ballots done correctly......................................

USPS is in the worst condition I've ever seen them. My MIL's present is lost, my brother's scope is lost, and the scope rings I bought for him are lost too. And we don't get that many USPS shipments...so having 3 lost is pretty appalling...

Like others have said, it is just an awful time of year to ship things, compound that with the Corona bs keeping people at home and doing even more online shopping/ordering than normal and there you have it.
Some items we have gotten right away. Somethings off amazon with 2 day shipping took 2 weeks.

Yep. Not Midway's fault, but I had a base and rings that went from UPS to a USPS handoff for delivery. Tracking showed it delivered and low and behold, 3 days later it actually showed up.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Midway
Order placed 9:52 Shipped 1:02
So, Midway dang sure did their part. LOL, let us know when the shipment moves I have received 6 of those same emails from them moments after placing an order and as of today none have moved in 13 days nor have I received anything. Lady told me this morning that a shipping label is generated right after the order is placed but it could be up to 14 days before it leaves. Again I’m not complaining but I feel some clarity could help the situation. We will get our orders as time permits and after the holiday rush subsides a little. Everyone is doing their best right now.
