I also just called Midway and got the same story! They won't say one way or the other if I will get my order.

I placed my order on 2/26/09 and they still don't have an answer!

Re: midway varget

Placed my order bright and early on the 26th. They didn't bother to send me any notification, found out it was a no go when I called. I hope some of you get your orders filled.

Re: midway varget

I have a feeling that we will all be getting the cancellation call but havent gotten it yet as hodgdon hasnt processed our order yet to tell us its canceled.

I just ordered 3 pounds of imr 3031 from powder valley and they chargeds 10.03 cents per pound for hazmat.

Re: midway varget

The hazmat fee is a fixed price per box, and isn't set by the seller unless the seller covers part of it themselves (some do on large orders) or they're ripping you off. So, order in large lots.

Re: midway varget

That makes since because i didnt order it all together. I dont understand why they dont charge has mat for ready to use ammo? whatever im not going to complain.

Re: midway varget

Looks like getting the Varget from Midway is nothing more then a crap shoot.

It's a DOT thing. Their rules on handling. Fixed ammo is much harder to set on fire than jugs of smokeless.

When fixed ammo gets cooked enough to pop, one round going off will not necessarily set the whole batch on fire.

They're NOT really that concerned about explosions.

20mm and above ammo is a different story. Those things are nasty-boomy when they pop.

Re: midway varget

I got mine yesterday. Weird, but on the shipping label it said it came from Western Powder, Inc out of Miles City, MT. Hardly any shipping distance from Miles City, MT to Billings, MT.

Re: midway varget

The manufacturer has been doing drop shipping for Midway.

Re: midway varget

I just got my tracking number from Midway for my 8# jug of Varget. I ordered it exactly 3 weeks to the day and just now got a tracking number. Im sure it will be another week until it arrives but at least I should be good to go for a little while longer. Hopefully that will last me until mid summer and the powder manufactures will hopefully be upping their output.

Re: midway varget

I am still waiting for dies and other things from midway that I order on 2/12/09 and they said they would have on 3/1/09.

Re: midway varget

I am still waiting on the 16lbs I ordered. It is still in the system, and I have been charged for it. A month now.

 

[drmarc]

Re: midway varget

I got 16lbs of Varget yesterday from Midway, I never received a tracking number and ordered about 3-4 weeks ago. I was waiting for the "refund" e-mail.....it was drop shipped by the way...

 

[paulyosh]

Re: midway varget

Same...I ordered Varget (along with some other stuff) on 2/26, in two separate orders. I got some of the Varget yesterday, and some of it last week (17th). They were both drop-shipped, no tracking, no notification, etc. I'm just happy I got it at all...

 

[Ol Rob]

Re: midway varget

Mine showed up today. Drop shipped, no notification.

Hell, I cant even find it on their website anymore, maybe I am losing my mind.

Re: midway varget

I had been told by Midway that there was no Varget, and that they would refund the charge on my CC. I'm working at the loading bench yesterday when I hear a "thump" at the door. Dang if it wasn't 8 pounds of Varget from Midway.

I'm going to have to take back all that grumbling I did about them not delivering!

Cheers... Jim

Re: midway varget

Ended up picking some up at a local pawn shop...$160/8lb. *sigh* As good as I am gonna get I guess. They had picked it up that morning, only received 2, and the other was already gone.

Re: midway varget

That rocks. I'll be stopping by the sporting goods counter at my local Walmart the next time I'm in. We don't have any good gun stores or reloading supply places within 100 miles of here. Our Walmart doesn't carry anything like that now but I will be suggesting it now that I know there are some that do. Thanks!
