New order for first time

My original doc first received had the wrong name for the ordering site, also when I got online for the products picked out my items , called in to order all the numbers I had were incorrect. A lot of time wasted, I got on the proper site and then had a bunch of sign on problems and got locked down for 20 minutes. When I got on line looking for items is slow as a snail, the system couldn’t go from page one to the next page what a joke system. I was using an iPhone 12 with 17 op system.

Thank you for the feedback, because of this and feedback like it from others we were able to identify an issue and escalate it with our tech team, we’re currently investigating ways to improve the speed to place an order.

Catalogue

It’s very frustrating to use this app. You search “Hearing Protection” and it gives you one hearing amplifier, and then it skips to Tooth paste and works its way to diapers. WHAT has any of that got to do with hearing protection. NOTHING. I haven’t had much luck looking for anything. There’s the paper catalogue that used to come, but I haven’t seen one of them n a while. That’s just one example. Maybe they’ll catch on some day.
Once you place your item in the shopping cart, you can’t check the size you picked to verify it. It says to verify, but it doesn’t allow you to do it.

Thanks for your feedback. With every new app version we are introducing new features and improving existing ones. Your feedback will help us improve further.

2-step verification

The website works fine with a couple of changes needed.

First - a TEXT option needs to be added for 2-step verification. I have my phone set up to send unknown callers directly to voice mail. Each time the call comes in for verification it’s from a different number so that makes it a little difficult to add into my contacts list. I finally got the call by turnoff my call filtering, but it is so easy when a website uses TEXT instead of voice calls.

Second - I haven’t found a way to go directly to the shopping cart without scrolling all the way to the top of the page. Either add a “return to top” option or a hot key that takes you directly to the cart.

Make these changes and your website will be much friendlier to use.

Unexpected logouts

When browsing the items on my iPad this Saturday morning, after about 5-10 minutes, bam, all of a sudden, the log in screen would pop up and I’d have to log in again. This happened about 5-10 times today. I never had that problem with my desktop.

Prices are High

The items for purchase are higher than outside retail. It would be better if the excess $ that you can’t use could be carried over to the next quarter. Since there isn’t anyway to use the $ amounts that are too small.

It would be nice to just have the $ amount to use at any retail place
