Frantz website suggestion

[loribeads]

Hi Mike,
I think the changes made to your site have been great but I have another suggestion for you:

It would be great if there was some way to skip pages or to at least know how many times you are going to have to hit the 'next' button before you get to the end of the items. Most websites have a little "page #1 of 40" and a "go to page ___" thing at the top or bottom of the page where you skip ahead if you want to.

Ummmmm...

How about if I say pretty please?

I think that Mike may still be in Europe.

It would also be nice to know if colors were opaque or transparent. I bought the CIM Simply Berry because it looked like an opaque from your picture. I was pretty bummed when I got it to find that it's just another transparent purple/violet.

I just did a dream order (not one that I can actually buy yet, but I wanted to know how much it would cost ($4,500.00), sigh) anyway, I got real tired picking the amount of glass and having to go back to the page to do the next. It would be nice if you could input the amount on a given page and press 1 button on time to update and add all of the items you selected instead of doing it one by one.

Also, they are discontinuing the Wale torch? Or is Wale discontinuing it? I just want to know the low down before I spring for some of those, I like the idea of being able to add a outter ring later one by inserting the small torch inside a big outter ring.....once they have them made....

One more suggestion....It would be great if the shopping cart could calculate the discount when you go to check out. As it is, I had to guesstimate what my total would be. If I knew what the approximate total would be with discount, I would be probably order more.

Ok, I lied. Two more suggestions... The shipping choices give no indication whatsoever which may be cheaper than the other. When you ask to be contacted about shipping options, they just pick one and ship it out. I guess they pick the cheapest but ???

Hey, I am back, well at least my body is back, I think my brain is a few time zones away. I will pass on all the comments about the website to the correct person. Your comments are welcome. We are discontinuing the Wale torch for only one reason, too many torches available, not enough money to stock everything and need to go back to the core which is GLASS!

We will continue to sell torches and tools, but we will be a little selective and not buy everything that comes along.

I found out that quite a few people did....still it's a pretty purple but ohhh...if only it had really been opaque!
