skymall: worst website ever?

91 42 September 24, 2016 at 05:33 PM Get SkyMall coupons Coupons
Ok, so I'm trying to buy this: http://www.skymall.com/Ivation-Ex...meter.html

This is the first time I've ever tried to buy anything from them. I've tried three different computers in two different locations; firefox, edge, I.E., and Safari. Is it just me, or does the SkyMall website suck ass?

For a retail outfit that's been around as long as I've been flying on planes, I kind of expected them to have at least a functional website. I thought maybe they were having a bad day and I'd try again tomorrow, but it's still FUBAR two days later. I guess I'll have to get a cheapie off of Amazon now. Ugh.

Ahhh, no. Had no clue. Odd that they continue to promo specific items like this one when they can't execute. Oh well. Found the same one on eBay for $5 less. Thanks for the heads up.

did you select a color before adding to cart? seems to work fine on my work pc which is running IE11. you could also phone your order in. skymall is 7 letters, probably 800-skymall.
