Shipped isn't shipped anymore sadly. As soon as they print the label, which could happen automatically, most places say it is "shipped". I have 4 different orders that are "shipped" for multiple days but the carrier has not taken possession of the items yet. Midway is one of them actually.

It means your order has gone to shipping. It's been picked and is being packed.

The computer automatically sends you a note when the items have been removed from stock. It really means they just charged your credit card for it. It's Midway saying "ka- ching".

At Midway that means they throw four tins of pellets in a padded envelope. They fight like four cats in a sack and arrive completely smashed.

They ship everything else fine. But bullets they can't handle well. I still buy from Midway but Bullet Central gets my bullet money now.

I hope your pellet tins aren't loose in an envelope that has been dropped and thrown around. If they are give them hell. They won't return or exchange bullets damaged or not.

I called and griped a couple times when it happened with Berger VLD rifle bullets. Nothing they can do. The third time i told them if they couldn't pack the bullets in a box with some bubble wrap i wasnt buying. They blew some smoke up my butt about special shipping and got me to drop another $175. Two weeks later I got another padded envelope full of hammered up crap that cost me a buck each. Never again.

I don't know how many guys I've heard griping about their shipping. Every time someone mentions Midway the bad bullet stories come out. They sell a ton of bullets and make everyone crazy doing it. It's been ten freaking years they can't get it right. They used to be spectacular.

Getting hammered up pellets (or bullets) is like kicking a guy in the prunes. It's a crappy purchase and that pisses you off. Plus you just know the sh!ts going to have fliers and you'll miss or blow patterns. But you shoot it anyway and every time you miss it pisses you off more.

Hope your pellets come in ok !
The Eley Tenex pellets don't really come in a "tin".
They come in a 3 compartment plastic storage box and are securely packed in there.
Would be much harder to damage them packed like this than if they were in a conventional "tin".
I got some from Creedmore Sports a while back. Only shot a few so far but the initial results were good.
