Is Midway USA a good place to order from? They have the mags I want but not quite sure on their rep. Usually an in store type of guy but not quite sure who around sells waffle 10 mags locally.

No issues with Midway. I’ve used 20+ times.

They are at the tail end of transitioning to a new warehouse with a state of the art inventory system, so their already great lead times from order to ship are about to get even better.
I've ordered a bunch from them as well and never had an issue.

Midway is great. Their stocking status is very reliable (meaning if they say it's there, it ships). They do have more junky stuff than Brownell's though.

Looks like I will never order from Midway since they can not ship to my job due to what I do and can only ship to my apt which isn't ideal for me due to theft. Oh well money spent else where. Below is the email.
Thank you for your email. We are only able to ship to the billing address on your card and because the address you are shipping to is considered a freight forwarding address, we are unable to complete the order. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I can't have ammo shipped to my studio or my PO box, so I have my aunt receive it for me and pick it up when I'm over there to help with her errands.

Midway has a horrible reputation related to their inability to properly package their shipments. Order a bulk box of bullets and they will put that in a box with a couple airbags, the inner box will get beat up and bullets will be loose all over. Then when you get the package and see there’s openings and multiple bullets are missing, you get the pleasure of informing Midway (again) that there packaging skills are horrible and they owe you a refund for every missing bullet.

My main (old and only) problem with Midway is their multiple shipping charges when later you find out something is backordered. But really I have ordered quite a lot with no issues.

Between the 2, I'll take Midway by a mile.
Seems like a simple credit card fraud prevention measure, but what do I know? My home address is my billing address and I don't have the porch pirate issue.

seems most people like midway and half and half on mag warehouse but if all goes smoothly with mag warehouse I get the 18 rounder mec gars for the m9 midway did not have so maybe im better off, midway only had the 15's. Also it wasn't because of fraud prevention they thought I was buying and shipping the stuff to other countries as i am in the freight forwarding industry(imports) and that is against company policy. Once I get a house i'll try them again but i've been in the market for one, it's hard to stomach the prices and they may never come sooo we shall see.
