Difficult to use web sites.
« on: February 24, 2011, 11:19:42 AM »
Why are there so many of these around. I am trying to source quantities of glass jars.  I want to buy in bulk.

I have been on numerous websites that are difficult to navigate. Show products but not prices you have to contact a sales team on an 0845 number (thieving bastards).

The last one I went on started with two questions.

YES

(Prices will be displayed without VAT)

NO

(Prices will be displayed with VAT)


I left it immediately as I felt that the only way from there was down.

It's not rocket science FFS if BM can do it anyone can. cussing: cussing: Banghead Banghead

It is amazing that so long after the Interweb was invented there are still sites that are impossible to navigate...

The most frustrating are the ones that have obviously spent £££££££££££££££££££££££££s on flash graphics and stuff without any thought as to how the user might obtain basic information like pricing or how to contact them....  noooo:

What sort of glass jars (size, heat resistant, coloured or clear etc) do you want/need?
We have an on-line supplier that we use.

I am just trying to complete an online form. You are 70 % through and it comes back and says you have not completed section whatever. Go back and check ...oh yes I have .

Then you face the loop of frustration. Final result - give up  evil:
