VPN use will block the sites ability to finish the transaction. Not all VPN do this, but I've had this problem my self. I turn off the VPN, do what I need to, and turn it back on.

When stuff like that happens to me I start looking really close for red flags I may have missed. So many scammers have gotten really good at mimicking other sites I just don't trust my ability to always spot them.
I placed an order last Friday and got it on Thursday and I use NORD VPN. MAC OS
Yep, that has been a problem for me in the past too!

I don't remember which it was -- Cabela's, Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, Graf -- I order from them all but I had the exact same problem several months ago and it turned out to be my browser! I contacted them and they told be to try a different browser! I was using Firefox & had to order using Chrome to get the order to go through!

It all seems to be working now so all is good.
I'm not changing browsers though. That's a deal breaker for me. I'll go elsewhere. Not changing browsers. Not changing security settings. Not disabling my adblocker.

You don't have to change browsers to use a different browser once! Your default browser will still be your default browser unless you've changed it!

Don't get me wrong. I hope I don't come across as being stubborn. I just don't feel that the customer should have to jump through hoops to meet Midway's needs. There is too many other good places for me to do business with. I'm not interested in doing special things as a one off for Midway.
So, you have a sign-in account with them, right? I'm just thinking out loud.

I did some research on my memory! Somewhere along the line I got old!
When I had the issue about a year ago, it was with the Cabela's website! I could get on their website but couldn't see any pictures or navigate to individual items. Then I tried the Bass Pro site and still couldn't see any pictures or navigate to any individual items! So I corresponded with their main office and was told to try a different browser. When I did that using Chrome, I immediately saw the pictures and was able to navigate to individual items and buy what I wanted to buy. I had been using Firefox and it was some setting in Firefox that was preventing access to the complete website!
I still use Firefox and no longer have that issue with Firefox and didn't change anything except to eventually download their latest update -- which I regularly do every time they come out with an update!
So it's not what Midway is doing except that our browser of choice sometimes doesn't play well with that particular site!
I also swear sometimes something changes in my computer that I didn't change and I've got to figure it out! Maybe it's a Windows thing -- I don't know! I always update Firefox as soon as a new one comes out because I trust Firefox -- but I drag my feet every time Windows tells me I should update it as well as any video card updates! I always wait until other people find and fix whatever bugs are in the new update! Sometimes I'm a several months behind but in the Firefox case, the update fixed my Cabala's issue!
