Eurooptic.com?

Ok boomers…….

Yeah, this is totally an old people problem… this page is completely useful. Personally, I only ever want to look at two products at a time when I’m scrolling.

Taking this screenshot, I remembered the stupid Google “Top Quality Store” widget that pops up everywhere. Good god.

I’m a Gen-X/Millenial who is starting to need reading glasses… but even with that, the fonts and icons on this new page are way too big, even without reading glasses.
 
Honest question - why do people care about having a purchase history on a website?
I have bought something, had it arrive, realized it was awesome and immediately ordered another.

Having an order history makes this easier.

An order history also reminds me of things I've already tried and disliked in case I forget.

Hooray for aging.

Ah, I misunderstood your post. When you wrote “and I did so” I thought you were indicating that you successfully reset your PW.

Sorry for the bother.

And I might just give them a few weeks to get their act together and try it again. I think right now their web support guys are pounding Red Bull while pulling out their hair.

Sort of wonder how bad a hit to their daily sales numbers they’ve taken from this cock-up this. Wow.
It worked for me this morning. Maybe they got the bugs out

For me. I filter the products I'm interested in then sort by parameters. Every time I click on a item and back out, the filters and sort disappear. So I have to reapply the filters I want and resort every single time I look at something and try to go look at something else. PITA.
I share that frustration. Once you have your results, instead of clicking on a product to view it, right click and open it in a new tab. This will retain your filters.
 
I love Eurooptic. Definitely one of my favorite and most used vendors. I just went there to order 2 small MDT chassis accesories. Cart was $60. The package would definitely be under a pound...and the cheapest shipping options is $31.10. I always remembered their shipping prices as being very reasonable. Maybe something is wrong with their site and it is not giving accurate shipping prices. Anyone else notice odd shipping prices?
 
But you got to pay for the box and the persons time to ship it. I just hate when they charge up the ass and send it USPS. Around here it’s the slowest and normally arrives two days after it was supposed to.
 
Seems like everywhere shipping prices have gotten stupid
I guess it is just something weird with this particular order. I put the same thing I ordered last time (TT Diamond) and upgraded 2 day shipping I used last time was actually a little cheaper than when I ordered it last week. $20.35. The same shipping method for the MDT stuff is $40.70. Wild.

That’s “Fuck your little order, ain’t nobody got time for that” shipping prices.
 
My order history worked fine (well you only get 2 years anyway and I don't buy much from them). I'm not a fan of the website, huge pictures, no option to put things in the cart from the index pages, no easy way to find demo/used stuff, but my failing eyes do appreciate the fact even I can read the page without reading glasses! I don't think it's that big of a deal, they can tweak it. That said I will never understand why companies pay tons of $ to replace perfectly good websites.

Do not cave to the new fear/bully trend that stores are doing where they try and manipulate you into paying them extra for insurance saying that if you don't you agree to not hold them liable for lost/stolen/damaged merchandise if you don't want to. The shipper is responsible for ensuring your purchased goods arrives safely and in the expected condition even if you don't pay insurance. This has come up a lot lately in various places and I've never heard a case where a credit card company did not side with the buyer on a charge back if something happens to your package before it arrives to you if you don't pay extra for insurance. Stores don't care because if even 50% of the people pay it, it's a ton of extra profit for them and a few charge backs are worth it. I don't even mind paying extra for some insurance on expensive/delicate stuff, but don't threaten me into doing it. Heck if you like the store and just want to give them a "tip" feel free, but understand that's all it is. Doesn't matter what they put on the checkout page that you have to click to agree to, or if you pay for insurance, the seller is responsible for your package getting to you safely, period.

It's basically the new tipping scam where regardless of how much or little service you get they put it in your face to tip them on the card swipe machine, except instead they put a threat on the bill that if you don't tip them and find rat shit in your food, it's your fault for not tipping them.

The other new trend I dislike (and Euro just sent me one) is stores that use abandoned cart emails, spamming you with emails after you poke around their website but don't buy anything. "Your cart is calling". All it does it make me want to is unsubscribe and ban their email address.

As always though vote with your $, if you don't like a stores practices, shop elsewhere.

If you think that shipping is bad, the other day I saw a store that was wanted $52 to ship two bricks of 22LR, and that was before the insurance!

They probably added one of those stupid upper left corner back arrows.
The back arrow takes you back. The back button takes you out...
Dumb.
They are so used to their I-Phones, they want the web site to feel like their phone.

I've had this happen on a few occasions. I called them and complained and they reduced the costs.

Agree. I emptied my cart and shopped elsewhere.
