I'm pretty new to buying these things online. Who are the best/worst ones out there?

I recently purchased a XD40 12 rd mag from MidwayUSA, so far they've been great. I have a tracking number, and it should be here in a few days. Their price was also cheaper than Springfield Armory, which I ordered the samething and it should be here in 4-6 weeks.

I've heard Cheaperthandirt will screw you, as well as Buds.

I also just purchased some ammo from Sportsmans guide, so we'll see...

Appreciate the info fellas.......

by far the best customer service I've come across as far as outdoors purchases. Their customer service is on the same level as Amazon IMO

Midway would be perfect in my eyes if they would quit using UPS Surepost.

Midway, Sportsmans Guide, and SGammo have been the best IMO. Palmetto State Armory is great, however they do need to upgrade their servers and hire a couple more people to get shipments out quicker

Midway has always been great except last time they wanted me to jump through hoops to return an item.

Novak sights took care of it very easily.

Out of curiousity what was the item?

I use to strictly purchase these items in person, but the way things are nowadays you get it where you can.

Anybody know what the deal is with Cheaperthandirt?

The item was a set of Novak sights with tritium inserts. (Not cheap) One day after installation (another 50 bucks) the front sight went out. They wanted me to send both sets back to get the return. So now a 125 dollar set of sights would have been 225. Novak took just the front sight and returned it no questions asked.
