REIs new website...
....stinks.
That is all.
Another not-thrilled customer. I've tried to find several things on the site in the past few days and it is hard to navigate. Ended up ordering from Campmor instead
Actually, it doesn't seem all that different or difficult to navigate to me. The nav bar is just across the top of the page now instead of the side. Just personal preference I guess.
Nothing wrong with the new site.
Wow, what an improvement, Somebody hit the Easy Button....
Now about those wacked out of proportion high prices that keeps me going to the clearance section!
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
Hmm..What did you find hard to find?Originally Posted by Frolicking Dinosaurs
I was looking for two small items and several larger items - Cogahan's zipper pull thermometer / compass, a single cup coffee manual coffee maker, a double-size hanging mosquito net, a pair of zip off pants for my Dad, a long-sleeve hiking shirt with pockets for Dad, a pair of zip-off pants for me. I couldn't find any zip-off pants in my size on REI's site even though I know they carry larger sizes. Couldn't find the shirt I wanted for Dad, the zipper pull or the coffee maker at all. I went right to all of these on Campmor's site. I've never had problems with the REI search function before, but it was giving me off-the-wall results last Thursday - I got a 24 cup metal coffee pot with a search for a hiking coffee! Like I said, it was no biggie - I just ordered the items from Campmor.
Pages aren't linked properly....java crap is super slow for some reason....used to be able to organize searches better....seem to be missing items that were there last week.....etc.
Been trying to buy a REI bug hut for 3 days now and keep getting errors.
The new website, like the old, continues placing the Mid State Trail http://www.hike-mst.org map and guide set in the region of "Hawaii and Alaska" http://www.rei.com/category/10574069 . Wish I had the talent for figuring out how to have some fun with that...
The Bug Hut 1? I saw that listed on the same page as a double mosquito net when I entered mosquito net into the search engine. I got as far as the checkout when I stopped. If you send me your credit card number I will order it for you.

I just went out and tried to locate the items again and found all but one -- and the results I got weren't off-the-wall this time. Maybe they are fixing the site?
I'm sure it's just new site bugs, but frustrating none the less.
My only complaint is that they've stopped selling the REI Tech Tee. I loved those t-shirts. They were 100% poly, felt like cotton, nice loose fit, wicked really well and super easy to hand wash and fast air dry. Now all of the shirts for women have spandex in them and I can't wear that - skin allergy. They told me to buy a Men's Sahara t-shirt - can't do that because the Men's sizes are much too big for me. So now I have to find my t-shirts somewhere else.

Finally, after a few failed attempts last night got to order what I needed, but no option for fast shipping and standard shipping will take 7 business days....which is unusually long.
Weird.
On a positive...you now have multiple options when an item is backordered. The last time I ordered something that was backordered, I didn't find out til after finalizing the sale and had no choices at that point.
I feel your pain. Practically every synthetic shirt made for women and girls these days has spandex - and the rotund Dino just says no to spandex for the safety of the world's eyes.
Columbia sells the T-shirts for women you want - they call the fabric Omni-Dry. More expensive than the REI shirts, but you can get them for either gender in any size above a child's 4T.
I have been buying these T-shirts in the men's department, sportswear section, for a while now. Cheaper than Columbia's shirts and don't have the fashion add-ons sometimes found on Columbia's stuff. Given your size, I suggest you go to the boys' department in any store that sells sportswear - even places like Sears, WalMart, Target, Penneys, Kohls, Belk, etc. have these - and see what you can find. They will be near the basketball type shorts. Men and boys also have technical underwear these days - and some of the fabrics used in the T-shirts there are very comfy. Downside - black, white and gray are generally the only color choices.
Thank you! I will look for those. I just loved the loose soft fit of the REI shirtsI hate clingy body fitting shirts of any kind.

Check out the C9 by Champion tanks, bras and T's at Target. I love their stuff. Loose fitting and long so plenty of coverage. Prices are great too!Thank you! I will look for those. I just loved the loose soft fit of the REI shirts

They have live online support, a 1-800 number, and also state that they answer emails the next business day.
Why is that family in the picture on their website playing CHECKERS? A beautiful day camping on the beach and they're playing CHECKERS???
Will second the Target shirts by Champion. I have a number of them. At $8-20 a shirt they are very affordable!
