Metal Pet Peeves

[mickO)))]

Not exclusively a metal thing but metal distros is where I see this the most. Online stores that won't remove sold out stock. Nothing more annoying than having to scroll through 20 or 30 pages of records with half of them not even being available. The Spindizzy site is a perfect example. I am sure it's some sort of shitty sales tactic to attract people to the site hoping that when they see what they wanted was sold out they will keep browsing and buy something else.

Add to that stores that have a few hundred items in stock but the maximum amount of items you can see per page is 20 meaning it takes forever to get through it all.

Spindizzy is the only time I think I've encountered it. Pain in the hole alright.

Yes and yes, two major headwrecks both of which seem totally unnecessary.

I think the stock thing is a Shopify issue

I think it's the platform they're using for the site that causes that where stock on hand against sales doesn't sync until the end of day.

It's a pain in the balls at times.

It's a complete fucking brain melt.

The best format is the ones where you can click on the letter of the alphabet, which zones you in instantly. Having to click forward every three pages to get to  bands that begin with N is well...brain melting indeed
